Speaker A
The existence of God doesn't ensure capitalism survives. I wish it did.
Speaker A
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 educate young people.
Speaker A
I would like to apprise you of some important changes coming to our school. First, this school will honor diversity. I like Dennis Prager and I don't like universal human rights. Your character, your scholarship, your humanity is important.
Speaker A
And the only national identity this school will recognize is American. This is an American public school, and American public schools were created to promote equality.
Speaker A
If you wish to affirm here, you will have to attend another school. This includes after-school clubs.
Speaker A
I will authorize clubs that unite students based on identities such as race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or whatever else may become in vogue in our society.
Speaker A
Those clubs cultivate understanding while the purpose of education is to empower students. The school's clubs will be based on anti-racism, anti-sexism, anti-Islamophobia, anti-homophobia, climate awareness, tobacco prevention, or gender identity.
Speaker A
Clubs that transport you to the wonders and glories of history and more. If the only extracurricular activities you can imagine being interested in are those based on ethnicity, race, or sexual identity, that means you deserve to be supported and respected.
Speaker A
Second, I care whether English is your native language.
Speaker A
My only interest in terms of language is that you will succeed.
Speaker A
The English language has united America's citizens for 200 years, and it will unite us at this school.
Speaker A
Furthermore, I would be remiss in my duty to ensure that you will be prepared to successfully engage with Dennis Prager. It's deplorable that most Americans will address all teachers by their title.
Speaker A
But if you want classes taught in your native language rather than in English, sorry, you don't live here.
Speaker A
Third, because I regard learning as a sacred endeavor, everything in this school will reflect learning's elevated status.
Speaker A
This means, among other things, that you and your teachers will dress accordingly. There will be a dress code at this school.
Speaker A
Well, the opposite is true. And you will address all teachers by their proper titles, not by their first name.
Speaker A
They are your mentors, not your pals.
Speaker A
Fourth, no obscene language will be tolerated anywhere on this school's property.
Speaker A
Well, the opposite is true. By obscene language, I mean the word "baby." It is my intent that by the time you leave this school, you will be among the few your age to distinguish between the elevated white and the degraded black, the holy and the obscene.
Speaker A
Fifth, we will support all pregnant women; this school will have succeeded.
Speaker A
If any of you graduate, now please stand and join me in the pledge of allegiance to the flag of our country.
