Dear Students

Dear students: In this classroom there are no walls No boarders to keep you out, No vigilantes to scream and shout And free water is in the fountains in the halls. Here you will learn about life and history And about the founding fathers of this land, Freedom must not ever be a mystery It is always given by a different colored hand. Dear students: In this classroom all life matters You are always equal to all the other pupils, You have created your own scruples And yes you are your own masters. No matter the color of your skin You came here to socialize and to learn, So, let the teaching begin And let's not ever let the flag, or the books burn. Dear students: Your life indeed is beautiful No matter of your sexual preference or gender, To your belief do not ever surrender Your passion is truthfully dutiful. In school you will learn how to react In school, teachers are there to support and teach, I will explain to you the truth and every fact Teachers are not here to give a sermon or preach. Dear students: In this classroom I don't care what country you are from You are not seen as a rapist or a drug dealer, Nor are you seen as tax dollar or a job stealer More than a student I want to see you to become. You come to school for only one reason And it's not to cause others pain or strife, You are not here for treason You came here only for an education for a better life. Dear students: No matter of your religious belief Or how lies and stupidity constantly and immorally persist, You are no terrorist In this classroom you won't feel judged or grief. You also have the right to how you want to worship All students have a right to their own religion or creed, There will never be a guilt trip Here your mind and soul is freed. Dear students: Just because you are a female No man or boy has the right to grab or abuse you, They cannot molest you as if it's due Every student is treated equally this I will tell. Inside your body there's a soul and a brain And a desire to take you as far as you can, In this class there is no suffering or pain In this classroom you're equal to any boy or man. Dear students: Thank you and welcome to my class Take a desk and please listen and sit down, This is now our town You have a blueprint and a free boarding pass. I am not here to judge or accuse or to fight I am your teacher preparing you for life or college, Your soul and brain I am here to ignite I am here with only truth and knowledge. Randy L. McClave
