If this person is telling little children to hope for the killing of someone, the person is letting their personal feelings overcome their common sense.

I never took it that way, that is, we should personally want to kill someone. She says "I hope THEY Kill OBL". What you said did first cross my mind, but I've always taught my kids the Gov't does not carry the sword in vein. They encourage those that do good, and punish those that do evil. (Romans 13) (ie, Gov'ts are ordained by God to carry out Law and Order)

Neither did I. And I didn't say that.

Really? Interesting. Does that apply to Iraq? Nazi Germany? Japan in the thirties?

Which has nothingwhatsoever to do with telling little children to hope anyone gets killed by anyone else.

We are commanded to pray for our enemies, not teach our children to hope they get killed.

This would never have happened in a Christian school. Abolish government schools and the problem disappears.
