yah, but at the same time she only picked out the sentences to make people think it was a school policy I think if your gonna post an article you should post the whole article and not just pick out sentences that change the intent of the article FYI, I posted the beginning of the article, maybe you should read the whole article before you accuse me of anything. so if your gonna get upset with someone it should be the author, not me and it is what it is a lot of people are pissed because a man of color is in the White House which is ironic, because he would have never made it if people of ALL colors didn't vote for him... i didnt read the article but id say this has more to do with him being a democrat than it does with him being black... that and the republicans tried their best to make Obama into a deamon socialist arab terrorist. They did at my child's school. 
It is a Christian school and they did a mock rally and election. There were signs in the hallways that said that Obama voted for abortion. We are talking about elementary students. Children were saying that Obama is bad because he wants to stop the war in Iraq and if he does, they will attack us. They said that Obama kills babies. He wants to eat with terrorists too. They said he was Muslim. You know that they are parroting their parents.
Ohh WINX... I work at a Christian school... here's a repost from my MySpace blog about exactly this subject: So... Obama won. I'm thrilled. Many people I know are thrilled. Many aren't so thrilled, and that's their right. I wasn't either when Bush**** was elected. Whatever. But what I just had to endure here at my job is something that I never EVER want to endure again.
It's chapel day. I hoped and prayed they would stay the **** away from politics. But oh, no. It was way too good a chance to further brainwash these kids into believing anything they are told as fact. First, the speaker asked the students what they thought of Obama. The reactions weren't very mixed: "He's scary." "He hates us." "He wants to kill us." "He isn't a Christian." (Not really an issue to me, but neither is it the truth. Obama is a proclaimed Baptist.) "He's Moslem." (Again, not an issue but not the truth either.) "He's in it for the New World Order." "He's the Antichrist." "He's going to raise all the taxes until nobody can have a business." "He's evil." "He wants to kill babies." Onandonandonandon... And what did the speaker do? Did she encourage them to do research, to see the facts and decide from that what their opinion is? Of course not! Instead, she encouraged them and told them that America has gotten off track in its course for God. She said that we have to pray for our country and ask God's frogivness for electing Obama. She said a lot of stuff but by then I was too busy concentrating on looking calm that I didn't hear the rest. Yes, I know I work at a Christian school. Am I surprised? No. But that doesn't change the fact that I am pissed off. Be a Christian. Be on fire for Jesus. I don't care. Just PLEASE don't teach your children lies as fact when you haven't any idea what the truth is yourself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR RRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is all. I feel for you. I do. I feel for you, too, because you were helpless there. 
My child was bullied because my child mentioned to another child that we went to the Obama rally here. Three people got in my child's face. Scared my child. Then it happened in different classes. I talked to the teacher. The teacher said he would talk about tolerance of other's opinions. The next day that teacher held a mock rally and asked for the children's opinions. He did NOT correct the wrong things that they said. And you personally heard what wrong things that they can say.
My child was praying that Obama would win so the bullying would stop and thought it would end the day after the election. It was worse the next day with all the Obama bashing and lies. What does a child that knows the issues (from me) do when classmates tell them that Obama is a baby killer? My child did try to tell them the truth but they said my child was lying. Luckily, my child has me and others to correct the lies. But..my child broke my heart when they went to bed, my child wished that school wasn't like that. My father is angry and wants me to talk to the Principal about separation of church and state. I don't think it applies here. I am just comforted by the fact that there won't be another election for four years. It was traumatic for my child. Even seeing all those 100,000 people at the rally was no comfort because they weren't at school with them. |

I feel for you, too, because you were helpless there.

Even seeing all those 100,000 people at the rally was no comfort because they weren't at school with them. This has been a very explosive presidential race, and Obama has some major hurdles to overcome, one of which is the hatred, fear, bigotry and lies against him of people who are simply not informed. I'm not saying he's perfect, but some of the things they say are completley ludicrous. That said, it hurts me to see that children are being fed these lies and hurting each-other with them. Isn't it bad enough that adults are hating? Do the children have to too? For you and your child. Remember...
Yes we can. 
Oh and I, too, am a liberal, Democrat Christian. Not easy to be in the minority, but it works for me! |
