Religiously Politically Accurate
Religiously Politically Accurate
Politics and morals
Don’t go hand in hand
Maybe this is the reason
That religion is banned.
“Religion’s not banned, it’s your right,”
Teachers claim.
So when public prayer isn’t allowed,
Who am I supposed to blame?
I thought teachers are role models
And tell us wrong from right.
But when I have questions about my beliefs
Why does the school system turn it into a fight?
The first amendment, it’s part of my rights.
“Freedom of Religion” is clearly stated.
When I can’t learn from my role models about Christian morals
It makes me confused, it makes me feel weighted.
Some students don’t have anybody there for them,
Some students don’t have anybody at home.
If we aren’t taught good morals and values,
Then are we really learning in the school zone?
I know I’m not supposed to talk about God
Or speak to you about Jesus and the cross.
But I don’t think silence is the way to win
Withholding my words is more of a loss.
In order to even mention God to my teacher
I know I have to first apologize.
Because in a society where we're religiously politically correct,
The first thing that they’ll do is to criticize.
