New High School Principal





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. I am making these changes because I am convinced that most of the ideas that have dominated public education in America have worked against you, against your teachers and against our country.


First , this school will no longer honor race or ethnicity.

I could not care less if your racial makeup is black, brown, red, yellow or white. I could not care less if your origins are African, Latin American, Asian or European, or if your ancestors arrived here on the Mayflower or on slave ships. 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 to make better Americans. If you wish to affirm an ethnic, racial or religious identity through school, you will have to go elsewhere. We will end all ethnicity, race and non-American nationality-based celebrations. They undermine the motto of America, one of its three central values – e pluribus Unum, "from many, one." And this school will be guided by America 's values. This includes all after-school clubs. I will not authorize clubs that divide students based on any identities. This includes race, language, religion, sexual orientation or whatever else may become in vogue in a society divided by political correctness.


Your clubs will be based on interests and passions, not blood, ethnic, racial or other physically defined ties. Those clubs just cultivate narcissism -- an unhealthy preoccupation with the self -- while the purpose of education is to get you to think beyond yourself. So we will have clubs that transport you to the wonders and glories of art, music, astronomy, languages you do not already speak, carpentry and more. If the only extracurricular activities you can imagine being interested in are those based on ethnic, racial or sexual identity, that means that little outside of yourself really interests you.


Second, I am uninterested in whether English is your native language. My only interest in terms of language is that you leave this school speaking and writing English as fluently as possible. The English language has united America 's citizens for over 200 years, and it will unite us at this school. It is one of the indispensable reasons this country of immigrants has always come to be one country. And if you leave this school without excellent English language skills, I would be remiss in my duty to ensure that you will be prepared to successfully compete in the American job market. We will learn other languages here -- it is deplorable that most Americans only speak English -- but if you want classes taught in your native language rather than in English, this is not your school.


Third , because I regard learning as a sacred endeavor, everything in this school will reflect learning's elevated status. This means, among other things, that you and your teachers will dress accordingly. Many people in our society dress more formally for Hollywood events 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 tolerated anywhere on this school's property -- whether in class, in the hallways or at athletic 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 Communications Commission, plus epithets such as "Nigger," even when used by one black student to address another black, or "bitch," even when addressed by a girl to a girlfriend. It is my intent that by the time you leave this school, you will be among the few your age to instinctively distinguish between the elevated and the degraded, the holy and the obscene.


Fifth, we will end all self-esteem programs. In this school, self-esteem will be attained in only one way -- the way people attained it until decided otherwise a generation ago -- by earning it. One immediate consequence is that there will be one valedictorian, not eight.


Sixth, and last, I am reorienting the school toward academics and away from politics and propaganda. No more time will be devoted to scaring you about smoking and caffeine, or terrifying you about sexual harassment or global warming. No more semesters will be devoted to condom wearing and teaching you to regard sexual relations as only or primarily a health issue. There will be no more attempts to convince you that you are a victim because you are not white, or not male, or not heterosexual or not Christian. We will have failed if any one of you graduates this school and does not consider him or herself inordinately fortunate -- to be alive and to be an American.


Now, please stand and join me in the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag of our country. As many of you do not know the words, your teachers will hand them out to you.


Pass this along if you agree. . . If not delete….

and later regret it !!!
 
Bravo. I will be donating to PragerU. My family just started watching Fireside Chats on Sundays. He’s wonderful to listen too and great for teenage and college students.

Our local high school did away with the valedictorian a couple years ago, it makes perfect sense to the woke administration.
 
While I totally agree that schools should teach students knowledge skills only and should be apolitical and religiously agnostic in what is taught, I am concerned with where this cancel culture is heading.

I see nothing wrong with having Christmas trees and decorations in schools. For non-Christian immigrants it will help them understand a very important American holiday. I see no reason to ban St. Patrick's day wearing green in schools. Irish Americans have a long history that there is no harm in celebrating. When will it end?
 
Outstanding.
When he is done being the principal of that school, he should consider a run for president.
 
... When will it end?

In the states? When the ACLU disappears.
If you do Christmas in school then you must to Hanukkah, Kwanzaa and Atheist day, Squirrel god day and....
The legal issues would be never ending.

I think that is a very sad state. People went ape shit when saying Merry Christmas was considered not-politically correct and now it seems that some here are saying that should be the school policy to take all religion out of the schools. This cancel culture in the US is getting way out of hand.
 
I believe that was how the high school I went to was run. Best I can remember.:(
Lawrenceburg High School, Class of 75.
 
Thank god finally. Im a police officer in New Jersey and was told to give a speach at careers day to the senior class. Well i put on my uniform with all the bells and whistles and stood in front of the class ready to go. Well as i look over the students im like WTF. In front of me is a class of misfits. Socks and sandals, shorts and tank tops, thong straps sticking out and i can clearly see the nipple rings this girl is showing through her see through shirt. I start my speach with. get some respect for yourself and others will respect you. I then walked out. Chief wasnt happy but i think i got my point across
