A Suggestion to Christian Parents

'Tis the season to read stories about school systems sending home notices saying, "Achtung Verboten Jesus." While it is deflating to see Christians singled out and told to leave their faith at the door, there is the long standing tradition of smuggling in theology through other means. But, parents need to get creative and acutally pay attention to Christian history. What I am suggesting is the use of Apocolyptic language. There are two reasons for this. First: There is a rich tradition within the Church and second: It makes for better poetry and prose if done well. So, it's a win win. You get to stick it to the man, and your kid learns the importance of well crafted creative written media.
