Who can we enlist to start a campaign with people carrying these three signs around my school (Temple High School), and your school, and then another school ?

WE NEED THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
IN OUR SCHOOL<\/span> AGAIN
– – –
WE NEED PRAYER
IN OUR SCHOOL<\/span> AGAIN
– – –
WE NEED THE BIBLE
IN OUR SCHOOL<\/span> AGAIN
– – –
And, cards could be given to passersby:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Your laws ignore our deepest needs.
Your words are empty air.
You’ve stripped away our heritage.
You’ve outlawed simple prayer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now gunshots fill our classrooms,
And precious children die.
You seek for answers everywhere,
And ask the question, ‘WHY?’ . . .”
—–Darrel Scott, father of Rachel, killed at Columbine High School.
Watch Darrel Scott’s testimony and poem before the House Judiciary subcommittee on crime.

I’m not good at printing signs.
I’ll go alone, but would like others to join.
– – –
Got the prayer.
Got the plan.
– – –
I’d like to know the rules for carrying signs on sidewalks, without asking for permits.

If a few people, and then thousands of people across the country, carried those three signs in front of their school, some would make the connection, and God would make the difference.

Please note my emphatic emphasis on “our school” (not schools)—that’s where change starts !<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
