just by my schools name you can tell its not like many
Hicks High School
Its about 200 kids Pre-K through 12th . . . all white.
just to give you the first mindset of what i am stuck in
on top of that, a majority of the children & their parents are southern baptist or pentocoastal (SP). They are all very conservative & old fashioned. They dont like change or anything diffrent.
i've finally made it to my final year at this school. & i have come to a fork in the road.
every year at graduation, they always say prayer. which i'm sure as you all know, they are NOT suppose to. of course since the majority of people are all extremely religious & saying something about it means DRAMA. no one has tried to change it, well except for one teacher.
of course, it never fails. every year at graduation everyone bows their head & the students pray
the pathetic thing is, they dont even ASK the students if they WANT to pray at graduation by what my brother told me. they just sort of make them do it.
so my fork in the road is this.
do i speak up & say something about it. since what they are doing is not right. its forcing one opinion on everyone & really makes me quite uncomfortable.
or sit back & avoid drama & just get it over with.
any advice?
