Moral Absolutes Ping.
Oh, a common mistake. Anyone could have distributed satanist calendars to kids unknowingly. I mean, I've done myself by mistake, haven't you?
1. What kind of people are working for the police department there?
2. Who is making "anti-gang" packets with actual satanist calenders?
3. What kind of school officials didn't even look at the materials prior to their being distributed? Or looked and thought it was ok?
The parent who said "It's just not right" made the understatement of the year. If I had a kid in that school, I would snatch him or her out immediately, sue the school and the principle and others involved would have to take out restraining orders against me.
Let me know if anyone wants on/off this pinglist.
Note: Why is it that Islam, homosexual sex, satanism and the like can be forced down kids' throats, but any mention God even in a generic way is absolutely verboten?
"...sue the school and the principle and others involved would have to take out restraining orders against me"
So another lawsuit and threats of violence are just what this situation needs.
Right.
You obviously have difficulty with anger management. Not very Christian of you to imply that others would need to have protection against you because of a mistake they made, however stupid such a mistake might be.
Your lack of control speaks volumes about you and your ideology and beliefs.
The school system in Pearland IS very conservative, actually, although perhaps not all teachers are. I lived there, was a member of the local republican women's group, knew a lot of people who worked in the school system at the adminstrative level.
This is in Tom Delay's congressional district. You might get some idea of the type of people there from that fact alone. This was not part of some school adminstration's leftist agenda. These people are conservative, with lots and lots of evangelicals who are active in the area.
If someone is at fault here, it was the person handing out the literature - not the school system.
If I hadn't lived and worked there myself, I wouldn't have known all this, but I do.
It's been six years since I was there last, but things would not have changed that much since I was there. I am sure that anybody involved in why this happened will get what they have coming to them.
