F--- the Constitution !, the Atheist Student Said

Oct 19, 2022

"F—k the Constitution ! " the atheist student erupted. The resultant cheering subsided eventually, and the professor said:

"But you don't know who I was praying to."

The professor, dressed in cargo shorts and a courdiroy teaching jacket, had come into the already tense , densely packed state college classroom mere moments before, announcing, solemnly , that he would pray about making the exam easier.

There were cheers. It was like homecoming--not that the professor had ever been to homecoming--having been excluded from such social festivities most of his life.

But then the professor remembered the Constitution. The dear old gosh-damned Constitution.

I can't *pray* on publicly funded grounds , in my official capacity, and as a tax-payer-funded educational officer of this venerable institution, he thought to himself.

He said as much to the class.

It violates these kids' First Amendment rights.

Which right am I talking about, the professor asked the class.

Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.

A mousie voice stirred: The Separation of Church and State?

The professor was about to correct the mousie voice--about to say those words aren't in the Constitution. Never have been, prolly ne'er will be, when the loud atheist--the future ACLU attorney --said,

"F— the Constitution ! I need to get an A in this class for law school."

"But you don't know who I prayed to," the professor said. "You only know the exam will be easier if I make the prayer."

Atheist student: "Ok, ok, who'd you pray to?"

I prayed to the god of the Demoncratic Party: Satan.

The Republican Professor
