Is the principal in the same category with hypocritical pharisees? You see a need to "preach" in public by quoting Scripture to this public forum. If you are right you have no right to speak opening about what you believe is good for the community... as you have just done. The principal, who is charged with training young people to be leaders in a public community, wants them to do what is good for all, not cater to immoral aberration... as you suggest is right but do not do yourself. You call the principal immoral. You want him canned. So, in summary, you are tolerant of evil, and want good people to tolerate it as well. Even if it is immoral.Stan Williamshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12084603289444240062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3811101406548572887.post-77663045732541484692011-08-26T14:08:10.390-07:002011-08-26T14:08:10.390-07:00Matthew Chapter 6 verses 5 & 6“Whenever you pr...Matthew Chapter 6 verses 5 & 6<br>“Whenever you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, because they love to pray while standing in synagogues and on street corners so that people can see them. Truly I say to you, they have their reward. <br>But whenever you pray, go into your room, close the door, and pray to your Father in secret. And your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you."<br><br>It is not a principal's place to be imposing his personal beliefs on homosexuality, abortion, or the ecology. I trust he was canned immediately. If not, shame on the school.TCAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06865579835122239328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3811101406548572887.post-71547546021874184052010-06-03T21:46:01.948-07:002010-06-03T21:46:01.948-07:00He is real.

That school was blessed to have a person like that, a person who really cared about the students. I only hope the new principle can at least come close to filling his shoes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3811101406548572887.post-46109419517974952382007-11-19T08:05:00.000-08:002007-11-19T08:05:00.000-08:00I was searching for this speech to give someone an...I was searching for this speech to give someone and came across your site.

This is what they say...Borrowing heavily from the Rev. Joe Wright, Principal Jody MdLoud delivered this speech before a Roane County High School football game on 1 Sept. 2000. Mr. Mcloud, who had been principal of the 740-student school for eleven years at the time, was protesting the prohibition against leading prayers “on school property, at school-sponsored events over the school’s public address system, ba a speaker representing the student body, under the supervision of school faculty,” which was brought about when the United States Supreme Court upheld the ruling in Santa Fe independent School District v. Doe that such activity violated the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. Principal McLoud’s speech was also read into the Congressional Record on 20 Sept. 2000 by Representative Zach Wamp of Tennessee.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3811101406548572887.post-51324515939389932052007-10-18T07:42:00.000-07:002007-10-18T07:42:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administra...This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
