I am a retired schoolteacher, now working as a substitute teacher. Let me tell you what one of my second-grade students said the other day.

She came up to me and boldly asked, “Do you have any pet dogs?” I laughed and said, “No.” Then she asked, “Do you have any pet cats?” I said, “No.” Then she said, “Do you have any pets at all?” I answered, “No, I don’t.”

So she said almost angrily, “Then you have nothing.”

These are the kind of twisted values kids are learning from society (and school) nowadays, because of animal rights radicals.

I yearn for the days when teachers could use prayer and scripture in the classrooms.
