Now Raise Your Right Hands...HIGHER!

This week, guns will be top of mind for many Athens middle schoolers.

For months, area students have been creating essays, raps and posters about guns, and this week, their efforts culminate with assemblies on the effects of guns and a pledge against gun violence.
See, you can't pray, because that might offend some student and make them feel singled out and embarrassed if they don't succumb to peer pressure and join in.

I'd be curious to hear how the pledge sounds in its original German...

  2. In the original German the pledge had the sound of breaking glass.

    Kristallnacht

    Later it took on the sound of a gas chamber door closing at Auschwitz.

    Holocaust

    On September 11, 2001 it had the sound of a passenger jet slamming into a sky scraper.

    Jihad

  4. If you're referring to the Battle of Athens, that was Tennessee, anonymous.
