MATTHEW 5:44*
This one is just plain silly. A Lousiana g-school principal led her students in a prayer at the start of the state accountability tests. She prayed for help in vanquishing their “enemies,” the tests.
“I receive your help faith, knowing that through you I shall do valiantly, for you are the one who treads down my enemies.(LEAP, Iowa)”.
Now, the ACLU is involved, and she’s under investigation by the school district. A different prayer, handed out earlier to teachers by the same principal read, in part, “Education in New Orleans, is in trouble.” No kidding.
*Matthew 5:44- But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, (NIV)
