When you pray before PE you are praying outside so everyone can pray with you.Kangamoohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05891867439113326685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12449288.post-38268688934177698322008-09-29T23:41:00.000-04:002008-09-29T23:41:00.000-04:00The boy's principal told me it was the flagpole because that was a place outside the school building, and therefore even public school students/faculty/staff could pray together out there legally. So the third Wednesday of every month, this happens across the nation, evidently.<BR/><BR/>I used to pray before P.E. class...usually for rain, or an earthquake or something.anthromamahttp://anthromama.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12449288.post-75049168122579142932008-09-29T20:47:00.000-04:002008-09-29T20:47:00.000-04:00Amama: Was trapped in a meeting all day, so I haven't had a chance to see both, but that's tonight's homework.<BR/><BR/>L-P: At least Gage knows what cows are now. You've got that going for you. Plus, he like Johnny Cash...how neglected could he be?<BR/><BR/>CAGirl: I dunno, the flagpole seems kinda random. I always prayed outside of math class...doesn't every school have a math class? Also, depending on why they're there, I bet plenty of kids pray outside the principal's office.Papa Bradsteinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09795913459610115195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12449288.post-56766552745514204582008-09-29T20:03:00.000-04:002008-09-29T20:03:00.000-04:00The origin of kids meeting and praying at the flagpole has nothing to do with the flag other than the people who started it wanted a "place" that could be found at every school. Outside the principal's office did not seem right somehow. Every school has a flagpole somewhere.CaliforniaGirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14894806233551502838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12449288.post-55302485752272071582008-09-29T16:22:00.000-04:002008-09-29T16:22:00.000-04:00good to know that your child is getting exposed to other cultures.<BR/><BR/>...poor Gage is so...neglected.Lainey-Paneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07722187515774744428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12449288.post-44686569037436829792008-09-29T14:51:00.000-04:002008-09-29T14:51:00.000-04:00SillyBilly's going to Lutheran school, and recently went out to the flagpole with some other kids and the principal to pray. I didn't know whether to gag or be proud, since I'm neither prayerful nor flag-saluting. <BR/><BR/>But it's all good--he and 3B are both being cared for by loving people and are gaining understanding of cultural and religious practices that are part of their country's heritage. <BR/><BR/>PS: That twitter about what he said -- yeah, what he said. Last night I finally watched part of her interview with Katie Couric on YouTube, as well as the Sat. Night Live parody of it. Pretty much couldn't tell the difference.anthromamahttp://anthromama.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12449288.post-74240110855426744502008-09-29T09:35:00.000-04:002008-09-29T09:35:00.000-04:00I'm so glad...that fulfills part of my obligations as good influence.Papa Bradsteinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09795913459610115195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12449288.post-20252528170206302102008-09-29T08:53:00.000-04:002008-09-29T08:53:00.000-04:00I just showed her the video.
