Quote of the Day by Richard Axtell 5/15/03

[R. Scott]

It is a private school that is allowed – and expected – to set its own rules.
What's the problem?

[GodBlessRonaldReagan]

Freedom of association - plain and simple.

[Mamzelle]

Workers in ERs get to meet a lot of strippers. The girls make good money, but are often hookers and have many diseases that are associated with prostitutes. Their dancing life begins in pathology and leads them farther in--most have a vehement distaste for men because they always see them at their worst. Many are college students, and many do a "business" after hours. At the very least, they live in the world of vice, hookers, and pimps and might be bringing some of that into the school's atmosphere and the little girl's home.

Actually, I think that they should have kept the little girl in school, but I understand their problems. They are offering an alternative for parents already beleaguered with shame and worldliness, and should be free to make this decision.

It is quite unfair that the pastor's efforts to help the woman away from this very unpleasant and dangerous world is met with jeers.

At the strip club on 'Take Your Daughter To Work Day'. Child; "Mommy, why are you taking your clothes off in front of all those men"? Mother; "To pay for your christian education honey". Child; "Oh, I want to grow up and be a nice christian striper".

[Whilom]

To Liberals, separation of church and state means their constitutional right to prevent you from practicing your religion any time or place they designate.

Someday a lawyer will file a lawsuit against God and Christ for only allowing Christians into Heaven....

[BornOnTheFourth]

HMMMMM...what to say. My daughter goes to this school. Yes, there is an agreement that parents sign. I don't remember all that's on it, but basically you agree to attend church regularly and will live according to Biblical standards.

I also know Pastor Cole (not very well, but I do have much respect for him). He is a kind and compassionate person, and is not afraid to stand up for what he believes in. There are more details to this story than the press is reporting.

What are we dealing with here? A group of religious fanatics and the slut that likes to run around on stage naked.

They need to part company and the kid needs to get educated. Forget the fanatics and the slut.

I am sick of people who agree to rules of a private business, break them, and then whine for all to hear. And if this mother was nearly as concerned about her child as she claims, she could have made a living doing something that didn't have the potential to humiliate the child.

[Sally II]

I'm not a big fan of Capitol Christian. And this isn't the first time Pastor Cole has been attacked. A few years back there was a scandal because he cut out a valevictorian (sp?) speach from a black honor student because his close shaved haircut violated school code. I think Capitol Christian deserved that one. I mean, come on, black hair IS very different. A skinhead shave on a black man looks more respectable than a skinhead shave on any other ethnicity.

But this is another matter altogether. I think what CC did this time was more in the best interest of the child. They sought to protect the privacy of the young girl and they sought to improve her home life by counselling the mother. If I were head of a church I would also be concerned about the questionable homelife of a student. This stripper mother was selfish and showed no reguard for her daughter by bringing this case to the media. She knew that her profession was in conflict with CC's standards and ethics. If she doesn't like those standards she can put her kid in the Waldorf school. There are many more options that would have been better for her child than going to the media and making her 5 y.o. the center of a scandal! This child must be suffering enough humiliation knowing that her mother takes off her clothes and sexually teases men for a living. It has to be added stress and humiliation to know that EVERYONE knows it.
