Christian School Kicks Out Child with Same-Sex Crush
There's no hate quite like Christian love.
A Christian school in Oklahoma expelled an 8-year-old girl after she told another girl she had a crush on her. Naturally, the vice principal tried to correct the situation by traumatizing the child.
“[the girl] said the vice principal sat her down and says the bible says you can only marry a man and have children with a man,” [her mother] said. “My daughter was crying saying ‘Does God still love me?’”
What finally sealed the deal was the girl’s mother saying she wasn’t bothered by same-sex relationships. After that, the school booted out the whole family.
This is an excellent response in an awful situation:
Being a woman in Poland just became a potential death sentence. The ultra-conservative nation was already stringent on abortion laws, allowing the medical procedure only in the case of rape, if the woman’s life was in danger, or in the case of fetal abnormalities. That last option was nixed months ago by a radically religious court packed by the right-wing government, leaving in place only the rarest kinds of abortions. Despite a delay after massive protests, the law has finally been implemented. The procedure is effectively banned.
Can we please just find these people another planet to inhabit.
In a Canadian legal battle between a mother and a father who disagreed about whether to not their children should be vaccinated, science won. Justice Jasmine Akbarali laid out her ruling simply:
[Vaccination] addresses an unnecessary risk the children currently face: illness, permanent health consequences, or death from vaccine-preventable diseases. It does so in an appropriate way — through the administration of vaccines that are properly tested, and have been found to be safe and effective, with only minor side effects, in accordance with medical advice.
The other day, we posted about a pro-LGBTQ evangelical Christian book reviewer who focused on anti-LGBTQ books. Her reviews were banned from Amazon for violating some unknown guideline. After we inquired into her situation, Amazon has reinstated her old reviews. Hallelujah!
Finally, God is a “cosmic scratch-off lotto ticket.”
