...but they won't...
ReplyDeleteOk I admit it. That is insane. But don't say that all Christian denominations do this. This could never happen at a Catholic school.
ReplyDeleteAt Church the preist made the point of saying that it is vital not to cast judgement. He read about Jesus made it clear that we were not to judge.
If I ever came off as being judgemental I apologize, I'm just doing what little I can to stand up for the rights of unborn children. I'm far from perfect.
Matt
Ha. I don't know who let Matt in, but I was already about to post the following comment all about how I am NOT outraged because I have fucking outrage-fatigue over the bullshit that religious schools, INCLUDING CATHOLIC SCHOOLS, pull on a regular basis. Here is just a sampling, which I was already going to post and which is solely things I remembered from recent news off the top of my head -- in other words, there's probably bunches I missed:

Court says private school can expel lesbians
(The girls were juniors at the Lutheran high school in Wildomar (Riverside County) when the principal, Gregory Bork, summoned them to his office in September 2005 and questioned them separately about their sexual orientation and whether they loved each other. The principal acted after another student reported postings on the girls' MySpace pages.)

Thanks PS. I couldn't figure out how to allow only the first portion of Matt's comment, but thanks a million for addressing the latter portion. Whether or not the church teaches tolerance, religious institutions are not bound to adhere. Imagine that; religious people shirking their religious obligations!
