Congratulations Gators and State Educators

Very good game last night between the Florida Gators and Oklahoma Sooners for the BCS championship. Whether the one-loss Gators or undefeated Utah Utes are the real national champions will no doubt continue to be debated for weeks to come. And I guess that's what keeps the college game interesting even for those who may not pay that much attention to it. It sure must get a lot of people a hoppin' if the Utah Attorney General believes he needs to investigate whether the BCS is unfairly keeping schools such as his out of the championship loop. Whether favorable or unfavorable, it does keep the game in the news, which is probably what they want. It certainly has brought in the big-money sponsors.



Anyway, what I just wanted to know is why the game was not cancelled or at least delayed. I am asking all you state educators who are very afraid of people who mention God or Jesus on school grounds or at school-sanctioned events such as last night's game. Who if they don't actually mention those "scary" names at least display them in such a manner which could offend the enlightened, maybe even unnerve some of them. I am speaking about Florida's quarterback Tim Tebow.



Didn't you notice Mr. Tebow had "John 3:16" written on that black tape that he was wearing under his eyes? Why did you allow him to wear that? What happened to "separation between church and state"? Florida is a state school isn't it? C'mon guys, get with the program! Why didn't you ask him to remove the tape or wear tape either with no writing or perhaps a different message such as "Happy Holidays". Oh that's right, the holidays were already over. ( I'll try to think of more suggestions later ). I'm thinking maybe he got permission beforehand or maybe he put the tape on by the time the game started and it was too late to get him to remove it. Yeah, I guess it wouldn't have looked good to have one of your security personnel wrestle him to the ground before he jogged out to the field.

But weren't you afraid of what the ACLU would say. You know, that organization of truth and justice that likes to protect our little babies from those religious zealots who want to acknowledge the Creator. Weren't you afraid they would have a whole lot of court orders in their hands threatening lawsuits if the game continued with Mr. Tebow wearing that tape. Wow, way to stand up you state educators! I am simply floored.

Well, maybe I shouldn't be too surprised that you would allow Mr. Tebow to wear that tape with the scripture. After all, there's such a dearth of knowledge of the Great One and His word in our schools nowadays that I wouldn't be surprised if our young ones even knew what "John 3:16" was. Yeah, I imagine there's not enough time to teach such minute things as biblical history when other important things such as America being a bad country or songs celebrating certain politicians are being taught instead.

Well, again, congratulations to Tim Tebow and the Gators. Oh, yes, and you too state educators for allowing the game to go on. Until next time.
