PALMER: Christian school fires educator who says Jesus inspired him.

WASILLA -- Matanuska Christian School's principal has been fired and a teacher has quit over a disciplinary incident in which the principal had himself whipped in front of two students.

Principal Steve Unfreid, who said he was inspired in his choice of disciplinary tactics by the actions of Jesus, asked teacher Joe Brost to whip him in front of two male students in the school's basement last month after the boys were caught kissing girls in the locker room for the second time in a week.

Unfreid, in an interview Friday at his home, acknowledged he should have called the boys' parents first but expressed no regret for his behavior.

The school's board of directors unanimously decided in a closed door session Sunday to fire Unfreid.

Brost resigned Monday night at a crowded meeting in the school's chapel. He did not want to comment for this story.

They should be shot, then hung, then drug through the streets, the shot again, and and...
(it's better than kissing boys!)

This guy needs help. Sounds like he's got a messianic complex, having himself punished in front of others to change their behavior.

The principal must be a Devo fan.

Wierd but I don't really see any big deal. I would have let them go one with the whipping much longer, snickering all the while. When I was a kid I would have loved to have had the principal get the paddle in my place. I wear it as a badge of honor that they actually broke a board on my butt.

The teacher only whipped himself right? That doesn't sound worthy of a comparison to islamofascist countries. In their countries the women would be stoned to death and the men whipped. You wouldn't see an Imam standing in front of everyone whipping himself.

I'm sure those boys learned a valuable lesson from the experience.

Drop kick me Jesus through the goal posts of life
End over end neither left nor to right
Straight through the heart of them righteous uprights
Drop kick me Jesus through the goal posts of life.

Make me, oh make me, Lord more than I am
Make me a piece in your master game plan
Free from the earthly tempestion below
I’ve got the will, Lord if you’ve got the toe.

Drop kick me Jesus through the goal posts of life
End over end neither left nor to right
Straight through the heart of them righteous uprights
Drop kick me Jesus through the goal posts of life.

Take all the brothers who’ve gone on before
And all of the sisters who’ve knocked on your door
All the departed dear loved ones of mine
Stick’em up front in the offensive line.

Drop kick me Jesus through the goal posts of life
End over end neither left nor to right
Straight through the heart of them righteous uprights
Drop kick me Jesus through the goal posts of life.

Yeah, Drop kick me Jesus through the goal posts of life
End over end neither left nor to right
Straight through the heart of them righteous uprights
Drop kick me Jesus through the goal posts of life.

Sorry for the poor misguided principal. This is what adolescent boys and girls do when given the opportunity. It is so much better than kissing the same sex. How about a little counseling on the appropriate time and place, an admonition, and "get back to class."

Indeed bizrre behavior on the P.'s part.

Boys kissing girls: bad

Man demonstrating sadomasochism to boys: good

Am I missing something here?
