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!
