I don't think Jesus would approve...

Controversial is putting it mildly. If there was gay child in that audience and he was mine I would be scrambling for the phone number to the ACLU.

Christian rock is bad enough, but this? Who let these hatemongers in the door of a public school. Time to lawyer up.

Someone's head is going to roll. I wonder if the school knew what message the band was going to potray beforehand. Was this the school's fault, the band's fault, or a combination?

The video at the above link has been removed, but I found another video report on the event at this site.

The man behind it all appears to be Bradlee Dean, who seems to be a well known homophobe. Just Google his name if you want to see the references to him and his band. I have seen some of his events before and find them repulsive. He's definitely not, what I would describe as a loving Christian man.

News flash:

Principal who invited anti-gay Christian band to school assembly resigns

It seems atheists are active in Australia

I just love the motto, (from Woody Allen, I believe) on the side of the bus,

"If God exists, I hope he has an excuse."

"They told these kids that anyone who was gay was going to die at the age of 42," Littlefield adds.

Missed that one by a few years. I wonder why they picked that number?

Hitch-hikers guide to the galaxy, perhaps?

The answer is 42, you know.

So Mike Cooper resigned and the reason is "He simply wants to be a superintendent"? OMG, just think about the school district where he becomes superintendent and the kind of people who are on the school board there that would hire him.

I've got to say after having kids in schools and watching some of the decisions being made, I am tempted for the first time ever to run for school board. I'm a consultant - consultants do NOT run for office but I am giving it very serious consideration. We're lucky the school my kids attend has a good administrative and teaching staff, but the board and district superintendent leave a lot to be desired.

It just goes to the old addage - if you see a wrong and can do something to fix it, you have an obligation to act. gah! I hate hearing about this stuff even more than the castration of boys that the Dutch catholic church did during the 1950's if the boys got caught having gay sex.
