Thread: High School Forms Check out..

To the students and faculty of our high school:

"I am your new principal, and honored to be so. There is no greater calling than to teach young people.

I would like to apprise you of some important changes coming to our school.
I am making these changes because I am convinced that most of the ideas that
have dominated public education in America have worked against you, against
your teachers, and against our country.

First, this school will no longer honor race or ethnicity. I could not
care less if your racial makeup is black, brown, red, yellow, or white. I
could not care less if your origins are African, Latin American, Asian, or
European, or if your ancestors arrived here on the Mayflower or on slave
ships.

The only identity I care about, the only one this school will recognize, is
your individual identity - your character, your scholarship, your humanity.
And the only national identity this school will care about is You wanting to be part of our Country.

This is an American OR ( fill in your Country ) public school and as Our
( fill in ) public schools were created to make better Americans.

* This is now on the America's Criteria in this Post *

If you wish to affirm an ethnic, racial, or religious identity through
school, you will have to go elsewhere. We will end all ethnicity-, race-,
and non-American-nationality-based celebrations. They undermine the motto
of America, one of its three central values - e pluribus unum, "from many,
one." And this school will be guided by America's values.

That includes all after-school clubs. I will not authorize clubs that
divide students based on any identities. This includes race, language,
religion, sexual orientation, or whatever else may become in vogue in a
society divided by political correctness.

Your clubs will be based on interests and passions, not blood, ethnic,
racial, or other physically defined ties. Those clubs just cultivate
narcissism - an unhealthy preoccupation with the self - while the purpose of
education is to get you to think beyond yourself. So we will have clubs
that transport you to the wonders and glories of art, music, astronomy,
languages you do not already speak, carpentry, and more. If the only
extracurricular activities you can imagine being interested in are those
based on ethnic or racial or sexual identity, that means that little outside
of yourself really interests you.

Second, I am uninterested in whether English is your native language. My
only interest in terms of language is that you leave this school speaking
and writing English as fluently as possible. The English language has
united America's citizens for more than 200 years, and it will unite us at
this school.

It is one of the indispensable reasons this country of immigrants has always come to be one country. And if you leave this school without excellent English-language skills, I will have been remiss in my
duty to ensure that you are prepared to compete successfully in the American
job market.

We will learn other languages here - it is deplorable that most
Americans only speak English - but if you want classes taught in your native
language rather than in English, this is not your school.

Third, because I regard learning as a sacred endeavor, everything in this
school will reflect learning's elevated status.

This means, among other things, that you and your teachers will dress accordingly. Many people in our society dress more formally for a meal at a nice restaurant than they do for church or school.

These people have their priorities backwards. Therefore, there will be a formal dress code at this school.

Fourth, no obscene language will be tolerated anywhere on this school's property - whether in class, in the hallways, or at athletic events. If you can't speak without using the F-word, you can't speak. By obscene language I mean the words banned by the Federal Communications Commission plus epithets such as the N-word, even when used by one black student to address another, or "," even when addressed by a girl to a girlfriend. It is-my intent that by the time you leave this school, you will be among the few of your age to distinguish instinctively between the elevated and the degraded, the holy and the obscene.

Fifth, we will end all self-esteem programs. In this school self-esteem will be attained in only one way (the way people attained it until the State of ( chose one of 50 ) decided otherwise a generation ago - by earning it!

With immediate consequence is that there will be one valedictorian, not eight.

Sixth, and last, I am reorienting the school toward academics and away from
politics and propaganda. No more time will be devoted to scaring you about smoking and caffeine, or terrifying you about sexual harassment or global warming.

No more semesters will be devoted to condom-wearing and teaching
you to regard sexual relations as only or primarily a health issue.

There will be no more attempts to convince you that you are a victim because you are not white, or not male, or not heterosexual, or not Christian.

We will have failed if any one of you graduates from this school and does not consider him or herself inordinately lucky - to be alive and to be an American.

Now, please stand and join me in the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag of
Your Country.
As many of you do not know the words, your teachers will hand
them out to you." And so will the Media.
