Teachers in Main are
harassing soldier’s kids.
They are telling the children
of guardsmen called up for active duty that the war on Iraq
is illegal and immoral. This implies that their parents are
immoral for participating in an illegal war.
What would happen if teachers were harassing the children of
abortionists? There would be an outcry so loud you’d hear it
from Maine to Florida. These teachers need to be severely
disciplined, but it doesn’t look like the children will get
any help from the local school districts or the State
Education Commission.
In a related matter, WABI reports that the National Guard
instructed soldiers to meet with school personnel prior to
deploying to inform them of the deployment and let them
know that the children of soldiers may have some special
emotional issues to deal with as a result. In response,
according to the report, school personnel were less than
cooperative, telling the soldiers, in effect, “That’s your
problem.”
I’m really outraged by this. I served int he Army Reserves when I was single without kids. This happened during the 1st Gulf War, but I was never called to active duty in the Middle East. If I was a parent of one of these children, I’d be in the principal’s office every day demanding he repremand the offensive teachers.
Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that
they should always pray and not give up. He said: “In a
certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor
cared about men. 3And there was a widow in that town who
kept coming to him with the plea, ‘Grant me justice against
my adversary.’“For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself,
‘Even though I don’t fear God or care about men, yet
because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she
gets justice, so that she won’t eventually wear me out with
her coming!’ ”And the Lord said, “Listen to what the unjust judge says.
And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones,
who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them
off? I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and
quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find
faith on the earth?”
Luke 18:1-8
