The title (all in caps, naturally) is "SOMEBODY'S RAISING THEIR KID RIGHT." The body is, predictably, in extra-big bold font.
And here's the content:
Quote:
SOMEBODY'S RAISING THEIR KID RIGHT!
One Nation, 'Under God.'
One day a 6 year old girl was sitting in a
classroom. The teacher was going to explain
evolution to the children. The teacher asked
a little boy: Tommy do you see the tree
outside?
TOMMY: Yes.
TEACHER: Tommy, do you see the grass
outside?
TOMMY: Yes.
TEACHER: Go outside and look up and see
if you can see the sky.
TOMMY: Okay. (He returned a few minutes
later) Yes, I saw the sky.
TEACHER: Did you see God up there?
TOMMY: No.
TEACHER: That's my point. We can't see
God because he isn't there. Possibly he just
doesn't exist.
A little girl spoke up and wanted to ask the
boy some questions.
The teacher agreed and the little girl asked
the boy: Tommy, do you see the tree
outside?
TOMMY: Yes.
LITTLE GIRL: Tommy do you see the grass
outside?
TOMMY: Yessssss!
LITTLE GIRL: Did you see the sky?
TOMMY: Yessssss!
LITTLE GIRL: Tommy, do you see the
teacher?
TOMMY: Yes
LITTLE GIRL: Do you see her brain?
TOMMY: No
LITTLE GIRL: Then according to what we
were taught today in school, she possibly
may not even have one!
(You Go Girl!)
FOR WE WALK BY FAITH, NOT BY SIGHT'
II CORINTHIANS 5:7
Don't forget to pass this on! I love this one.
Everyone should send this to everyone they
know, especially today with prayer restricted
in schools.
Forward if you believe in GOD!!!!

Now, forget for a moment that this is almost certainly an urban myth penned by some fundie zealot with too much time on his hands and too great an appreciation for what can only charitably be called "his wit" by the most eager stretch of a willing imagination. The first thought that occurred to me (probably because my kid is approaching the age where this will be an issue) was that if my kid ever was such a smart-*** to a teacher--regardless of whether or not he was in the "right"--he'd be grounded for a month.
So heedlessly, I hit "reply to all" with the following.
Quote:
Teaching kids to be disrespectful to their teachers is raising them right? Golly, guess I've been doing it wrong.
I'm gonna catch a lot of shit from my family for a while.
