Public School Principal Berates Christian Student; Calls the Bible a “Work of Fiction” and says
constitution.com ^ | April 28, 2017 | Onan Coca

Posted on 04/29/2017 9:26:32 AM PDT by lowbridge

Zach Ruff is an assistant principal in Downington, Pennsylvania and he really doesn’t like people who are pro-life, or Christian. Like, not at all.

On Wednesday, one of Ruff’s students, 16-year old Conner Haines, decided to express his opinion that abortion was wrong on the PUBLIC sidewalk that runs in front of his High School. Conner was joined by his 19-year old sister and the two held pro-life signs while telling passers-by that abortion was a murder but that they could find forgiveness in Jesus. Soon after they began their completely legal demonstration, Ruff appeared and the situation immediately grew ugly.

When Ruff arrives on the scene he tells them that they must leave or he will call the police. When young Conner replies that the sidewalk is public property and that he has every right to be there and then encourages Ruff to contact the police, Ruff turns to acting as a living wall and stands between the young protester and those passing by.

When Conner tells Ruff that the babies being aborted are “image bearers” of God, the principal tells the young man that he “can go to hell, where they are, too.” Think about that, a public school official just told one of his students that he can “go to hell” while also insinuating that the murdered children are also in hell. Does that sound like the kind of thing a man in his position should say? Does this sound like the kind of man that should be in authority over our children?

The two eventually debate the personhood of the unborn children with Ruff arguing that preborn babies aren’t children, they’re just “cells.” Ruff then adds that Conner is at a “science” based school, so he should believe in science.

Kind of expected to see that.

But anyhow what next. He did get the nice message first and scoffed. Romans 13 time now, I anticipate.

Why??? He’s “in the public forum” too and has just as much right to be there AND be an asshole. If it was on school grounds it’d be another thing altogether.

Now if the kid laid into him rhetorically well enough that the douchebag put hands on him, now THAT would be cause for action. As it stands it’s just another “get the right wingers stirred up” story.

The government recast into secular charity for pecuniary gain was a siren song. Churches are more and if the worst happens any taxes will be furnished by the Lord.

I wonder if this Principal is married...to a woman. I’m guessing not.

Yeah, they're cells alright, but their DNA doesn't match the DNA of their mother. They're separate individual human beings.

They should be stirred up, to get him out of the system if possible and otherwise to fortify the kids or else get them out of the system.

On the other hand, this douche probably requires study of the Koran in his classrooms.

Assistant Principal Ruff says....

'Listen here, son. I am as gay as as the day is long. I don’t give a f*** what Jesus tells me about what I should and should not be doing.............. You are harassing public school students and I will call the police if you don’t shut up.'

Ruff went on to call the Bible a 'work of fiction' and told Haines that he and Trump 'can go to hell'. ...........Ruff attempts to grab Haines's sign and yells at the siblings, ...'Stop harassing MY children'.

18 U.S. Code § 242 - Deprivation of rights under color of law

The Chess match way of playing out this scene is to get the doucheocracy official to call on the authorities and eventually deprive under color of law/authority the rights of the victim. The victim then has standing to take legal action that involves worlds of hurt on the perpetrator and the righteous don’t get themselves wrapped up in assault and harassment charges for acting on emotional impulse.

Yeah what a scoffer. Who taunted the armies of the living God.

Some “sunniness.” Dark cloud. Mere wind can blow it away.

One channel but not the only one.

Another is to spiritually stand up to the guff until he gets disgusted and quits or possibly starts to take a new view.

Which might be a pro forma wrist slap.

But anyhow when alligators stare us in the face, we must keep remembering to keep draining the swamp.

Likely he’ll be on administrative leave until things cool down....in todays world the school would have to contend with more than this guy if they let him go......ACLU....LGBT ..are probably already involved...they love to zero in on things such as this and run with it.

He teaches AP history, is the school’s “Academic Dean”... and is a doctoral candidate at Drexel U., so he is (by leftard standards) supposed to be on the upper end of public school teachers for intellectual quality. God save us!!
