God's Reply:

Dear Concerned Student:

I am not allowed in schools.

Sincerely,

God

Sometimes I think that many of the problems we face now are the result of terrible choices...choices that seem harmless and even fair at the time...like removing prayer and the ten commandments from our schools.

My prayers go out to all the victims of school violence.
