The answer to *ALL* our problems!

"Make the brats pray like *WE* tell them to!"

AFA Kentucky Affiliate Claims School Prayer Ban Led to AIDS Epidemic Submitted by Miranda Blue on Thursday, 7/25/2013 4:09 pm The American Family Association of Kentucky sent out an appeal to its members today asking them to sign a petition calling for a law legalizing school prayer in the state, similar to “inspirational message” bills recently passed in Florida and Mississippi. The petition asserts that the 1962 Supreme Court decision prohibiting government-led prayer in schools was pushed by “anti-God forces” and led to a myriad of social ills, including a rise in teen pregnancy and violent crime, and “the AIDS epidemic and the drug culture.” Legalizing school prayer is “one of the best ways of returning God’s protection to America,” the petition adds.

"One of the best ways of returning God’s protection to America is by putting prayer back in our schools. FLORIDA AND MISSISSIPPI HAVE ALREADY PUT PRAYER (RELIGIOUS SPEECH) BACK INTO THEIR SCHOOLS! STUDENTS PRAYING AGAIN WILL EVENTUALLY TURN OUR COUNTRY BACK TO GOD! Children in Florida and Mississippi are now allowed to pray in school assemblies (give an inspirational message) because their governors signed bills into law in Florida in 2012 and in Mississippi in 2013. The media has made this fact one of the best kept secrets. Prayer was in our schools for over 200 years before the anti-God forces took it out in 1962. After prayer was removed from our schools, teen pregnancy went up 500%, STD’s went up 226%, violent crime went up 500% and SAT scores went down for 18 years in a row, opening the door for the AIDS epidemic and the drug culture."

Now I'm around 190. Coincidence? Obviously not. Who's with me on this?

If they'd had prayer in school, you'd still have that cute button nose and those adorable cheecks.
