Thou Shalt Not Think
Thou Shalt Not Think
By Elton Camp
Is a religious school the best choice
That will cause your child to rejoice
For students’ future will it prepare
Or is it a huge mistake to beware
On the surface it may seem best
But will it stand a reality test
Mainly church dogma will it teach
By those who prefer to preach
Will it develop an enquiring mind
Or students who, to facts, are blind
Perhaps say earth is 6,000 years old
Not 2.4 billion as science has told
Claim dinosaurs lived with men
From when the world did begin
Assert that black skin is cursed
When Noah’s son did the worst
So be careful before you decide
Is it truly best, what they provide
