The Election

Well, the results are in and I ... Didn't win.

First of all, I would like to give my sincere congratulations to Jackson. I think he is an awesome person and a very worthy candidate. I probably would have voted for him had I not run and I think he will make a very good president.

Also some side notes: I took a good shot at it and lost so if you are speaking to me you don't have to avoid the subject just because I didn't win. Also, I do think that Lovett's elections are a bit of a populatiy contest but nothing compared to how it could be. I think we do a very good job.

I pledge Allegiance to the ... Lovett?

Something occurred to me today as I was talking to someone. I was talking about the school I grew up in and talking about our day and what we did and things and I was talking about how we used to have a devotion every morning. This is when the light bulb went on:

At The Lovett School the average high school student probably says the pledge of allegiance at a maximum of three times a year.

Does that seem strange to anyone? Where I come from we said it every day with out fail. Not just on chapel or assembly days ... EVERY DAY. And even Public Schools do that. At my old school, we had a devotional, a prayer, and the pledge every morning. I wouldn't expect that of Lovett, but my gosh, you would think that we weren't even in America. And on a side note I checked today, there is no American Flag on the High School campus, unless you count the one hidden away in the corner of the football field, and it was not flying today. That's just sad.
