We are entitled to our moment of silence Why is it that there are people who will whine about discrimination at the drop of the hat, then drop the hat to whine? Just because those who claim not to believe in God think that a "moment of silence" at the beginning of most school days is pointless, it doesn't make it pointless or discriminatory. I mean, these people are hollering it's a hokey ritual. You know what? They don't have to participate in it. Why is it always discrimination just because a very few say it is? You know, we have the right to have a moment of silence in the morning, and if we want to pray, we shall. You cannot take that freedom away from us. Before they took prayer out of school, God out of the Pledge of Allegiance and removed corporal punishment from school, our country was doing great. The children from that era were taught respect for themselves and for their elders, and they displayed it openly. Crime was less, and there were fewer high school dropouts. Most children nowadays, know the teacher or principal cannot touch them, ergo, they have no respect. Why is it that those who feel discriminated against do not realize that Christians are being discriminated against because we do want God back in the schools and the government? Why should they think they are the only ones entitled to whine about discrimination? Just give us our moment of silence. What's the big deal? It's not hurting anyone physically or emotionally.
