New high school principal
 
We watched high school principal Dennis Prager of Colorado , along with SaraPalin and Tom Brokaw on TV a couple of weeks ago....what a dynamic, down toearth speaker. Even though Palin and Brokaw were also guest speakers they didlittle but nod and agree with him. This is the guy that should be running forPresident in 2016 !
A Speech Every American High School Principal Should Give.
By Dennis Prager .
 
To the students and faculty of our high school:
 
I am your new principal, and honored to be so.
There is no greater calling than to teach young people.
 
I would like to apprise you of some important changes coming to our school. Iam making these changes because I am convinced that most of the ideas that havedominated public education in America have worked against you, against yourteachers and against our country.
 
First , this school will no longer honor race orethnicity.
I could not care less if your racial makeup is black, brown, red, yellow orwhite. I could not care less if your origins are African, Latin American, Asianor European, or if your ancestors arrived here on the Mayflower or on slaveships. The only identity I care about, the only one this school will recognize,is your individual identity -- your character, your scholarship, your humanity.And the only national identity this school will care about is American.
 
This is an American public school, and American public schools were created tomake better Americans. If you wish to affirm an ethnic, racial or religiousidentity through school, you will have to go elsewhere. We will end allethnicity, race and non-American nationality-based celebrations. They underminethe motto of America , one of its three central values -- epluribus Unum,"from many, one." And this school will be guided by America 'svalues. This includes all after-school clubs. I will not authorize clubs thatdivide students based on any identities. This includes race, language,religion, sexual orientation or whatever else may become in vogue in a societydivided by political correctness.
 
Your clubs will be based on interests and passions, not blood, ethnic, racialor other physically defined ties. Those clubs just cultivate narcissism -- anunhealthy preoccupation with the self -- while the purpose of education is toget you to think beyond yourself. So we will have clubs that transport you tothe wonders and glories of art, music, astronomy, languages you do not alreadyspeak, carpentry and more. If the only extracurricular activities you canimagine being interested in are those based on ethnic, racial or sexualidentity, that means that little outside of yourself really interests you.
 
Second , I am uninterested in whether English is yournative language. My only interest in terms of language is that you leave thisschool speaking and writing English as fluently as possible. The Englishlanguage has united
America 's citizens for over 200 years, and it will unite us at this school. Itis one of the indispensable reasons this country of immigrants has always cometo be one country. And if you leave this school without excellent Englishlanguage skills, I would be remiss in my duty to ensure that you will beprepared to successfully compete in the American job market. We will learnother languages here -- it is deplorable that most Americans only speak English-- but if you want classes taught in your native language rather than inEnglish, this is not your school.
 
Third , because I regard learning as a sacredendeavor , everything in this school will reflect learning's elevated status.This means, among other things, that you and your teachers will dressaccordingly. Many people in our society dress more formally for Hollywoodevents than for church or school. These people have their priorities backward.Therefore, there will be a formal dress code at this school.
 
Fourth , no obscene language will be toleratedanywhere on this school's property -- whether in class, in the hallways or atathletic events. If you can't speak without using the f -word, you can't speak.By obscene language I mean the words banned by the Federal CommunicationsCommission, plus epithets such as "Nigger," even when used by oneblack student to address another black, or "bitch," even whenaddressed by a girl to a girlfriend. It is my intent that by the time you leavethis school, you will be among the few your age to instinctively distinguishbetween the elevated and the degraded, the holy and the obscene.
 
Fifth , we will end all self-esteem programs. Inthis school, self-esteem will be attained in only one way -- the way peopleattained it until decided otherwise a generation ago -- by earning it. Oneimmediate consequence is that there will be one valedictorian, not eight.
 
Sixth , and last, I am reorienting the school towardacademics and away from politics and propaganda. No more time will be devotedto scaring you about smoking and caffeine, or terrifying you about sexualharassment or global warming. No more semesters will be devoted to condomwearing and teaching you to regard sexual relations as only or primarily ahealth issue... There will be no more attempts to convince you that you are avictim because you are not white, or not male, or not heterosexual or notChristian. We will have failed if any one of you graduates this school and doesnot consider him or herself inordinately fortunate -- to be alive and to be anAmerican.
 
Now, please stand and join me in the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag of ourcountry. As many of you do not know the words, your teachers will hand them outto you.
 
Pass this along if you agree. . .. . If not delete …. and later regret it!
