Church of Meteorology
To avoid offending anybody, the school dropped religion altogether and started singing about the weather. At my son’s school, they now hold the winter program in February and sing increasingly nonmemorable songs such as “Winter Wonderland,” “Frosty the Snowman,” and—this is a real song—”Suzy Snowflake,” all of which is pretty funny because we live in Miami.
A visitor from another planet would assume that the children belonged to the Church of Meteorology.
Dave Barry in his “Notes on Western Civilization,” Chicago Tribune Magazine, July 28, 1991
Quote
- “I am much afraid that schools will prove to be great gates of hell unless they diligently labor in explaining the Holy Scriptures, engraving them in the hearts of youth. I advise no one to place his child where the Scriptures do not reign paramount.” - Martin Luther
- September is when millions of bright, shining, happy, laughing faces turn toward school. They belong to mothers. - Anon
