"You say what??

After being interviewed by the school administration, the prospective teacher said:   
'Let me see if I've got this right. 

'You want me to go into that room with all those kids, correct their disruptive behavior, observe them for signs of abuse, monitor their dress habits, censor their T-shirt messages, and instill in them a love for learning.   Don’t forget teaching our children to pledge allegiance not to their country but to their President (just like Hitler did), and then teach them that homosexuality is a healthy lifestyle and to honor people (with a holiday and special honor) to Harvey Milk…a terrible human being who used young boys for his sexual pleasure and had them hired by local companies for items he needed and then refused to pay the companies or the young boys he used.  He did despicable things and is being honored as a great citizen and a holiday.  He only served  a short time as a Supervisor of the City of San Francisco .

'You want me to check their backpacks for weapons, wage war on drugs and sexually transmitted diseases, and raise their sense of self esteem and personal pride.  

 
'You want me to teach them patriotism and good citizenship, sportsmanship and fair play, and how to register to vote, balance a checkbook, and apply for a job.   

'You want me to check their heads for lice, recognize signs of antisocial behavior, and make sure that they all pass the final exams. 

'You also want me to provide them with an equal education regardless of their handicaps, and communicate regularly with their parents in English, Spanish or any other language, by letter, telephone, newsletter, and report card.   

'You want me to do all this with a piece of chalk, a blackboard, a bulletin board, a few books, a big smile, and a starting salary that qualifies me for food stamps.  

 
'You want me to do all this and then you tell me. . . I CAN'T PRAY?
