It’s Liberal Tolerance Charlie Brown!

Most liberals prize tolerance, except when they have the opportunity to show some:

A church in Little Rock, Ark., canceled one performance of “Merry Christmas Charlie Brown”  after an atheist organization complained and said students should not be exposed  to a show with Christian themes as part of a school field trip.

Happy Caldwell, pastor of Agape Church, issued a statement on the church’s  website on Wednesday, stating that while he believes the school was within its  constitutional rights to bring students to the production, the church has  nevertheless decided to cancel a Friday showing for students.

“It is not our desire to put hard working, sacrificial teachers and cast  members in harm’s way,” wrote Caldwell. “What we want said is that we love our  city, our schools, parents and families. People are at the heart of the matter  to us.”

He also said Principal Sandra Register of Terry Elementary School took a  “courageous stand” when she decided not to cancel the trip after learning that  someone had complained about it.

The controversy began when a parent became upset at the school’s offer to  take students to the church to watch the play, which is based on the “A Charlie  Brown Christmas” cartoon and contains some Christian themes. Although the field  trip was optional, the woman planned to allow her daughter to attend the  production out of fear she would be singled-out by her classmates. The upset  mother also contacted the Arkansas Society of Freethinkers (ASF), the  organization that complained to the Little Rock School District on her  behalf.

Let’s see now, village atheist Mom had these options:  she could have kept her daughter at home, decided that a brief exposure to a Christian message would do her daughter no harm, thought of the other kids who had the opportunity to see a play they would probably love or make a very big stink about it and ruin the day for everyone.  She didn’t hesitate.  Bigots of course are so consumed with hate that reason, common sense and good manners always fly right out the window, and that is what atheist Mom is, although I doubt that will ever occur to her.  Chalk up another victory for the forces of endarkenment.

“…filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,without understanding, covenant-breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.” Romans 1:29-32

That’s the thing… somehow, conservatives seem to always take the high road & do what’s best for themselves, never wanting to ruin someone else’s good time. I homeschool, but I do know that if my kids were in school & they were having Let’s All Celebrate the Gays or Muslims, I’d keep them home that day. I keep them home & teach them everyday becasue I don’t want them exposed to any of that in the first place. I don’t go around forcing everyone else to miss out on the filth they expose their children to by protesting the schools. Some people have way too much time on their hands.

On a related note, a California management company is telling the residents of a senior’s apartment complex that there can be no Christmas stuff in the common areas.

Atheist Mom was reluctant to just quietly withdraw her daughter from the field
trip because she didn’t want to draw classmate’s attention to her. What does she
think those classmates feel about the girl now?

I suspect this incident has little to do with the daughter, and everything to do
with Atheist Mom’s need to feel victimized and somehow morally superior.
What is the girl learning about her mother from all of this?

Yes! What will be left is the “comrade pale.”
Govt. Cheese, dried milk and a copy of Obumbsteads “my plan.”
Pick up your pale during the first week of November 2016 at the mosque closest to you.
And you didn’t think a Third Term was possible?

Amen Paul. A Nation that has kicked God out of the window and enthroned Satan and embraced everything evil is under God’s Judgement. Let us remain on our knees for your beloved country and God will bring Good out of the Evil now running amok everywhere
