The most immoral place for children?
Public schools, according to Nicholas Jackson. He is the Executive Director of Reform America here in Columbus, Ohio.
Here’s what was published in The Columbus Dispatch today:
>Public schools immoral places for children
Monday, February 27, 2006
>In December, I submitted a resolution to the State Convention of Baptists in Ohio, urging pastors and parents to investigate the indoctrination of our young people into the homosexual agenda and to encourage concerned Christian parents to remove their children from public schools.
>At the heels of the recent 11-4 decision by the State Board of Education to censor any criticism of Darwinian evolution, it has become clear that our young people are being indoctrinated into not only a pro-homosexual, but a humanistic religion, as well. Ohio schools have become officially atheistic, godless and toxic, morally, intellectually and spiritually, to our precious children. Ohio evangelical leaders and pastors must urge parents to remove their children from Pharoah’s oppressive schools and give them a thoroughly Christian education, through either Christian schools or home education. Why send them to Sunday School, only to have their faith torn asunder Monday through Friday? It is time to let the children go. NICHOLAS A. JACKSON Executive director, Reform America Ohio coordinator, Exodus Mandate Newark
Maybe he (and his followers) should move to South Carolina or Domino-ville (thanks for the link, Dave)?

I love when the idiots mention the ‘homosexual-agenda’. I have a friend that is gay, and he has trouble organizing his own life let alone an entire conspiracy to lure children into being homos.
There is so much wrong with what Mr. Jackson said that I wonder if he has any grounding in reality at all. His parents must have really messed him up with their Christian agenda.

These people are freaky. I just had this xian called marcguyver on my blog talking about how kids are being given sex education in schools to learn how to use protection for anal sex! I was like WTF! These xians sure have sex on the brain! I think it is because they all must have a problem with it. Ever notice how there are more pornography stores and sex stores advertised in rural christian states???
They are paranoid of the real world and believe whatever their stupid-ass pastors tell them to believe. They never question anything, only follow like lemmings, believing the misinformation and uneducated propaganda put forth by a bunch of close-minded bigots.
If their faith was strong they would not be so AFRAID of their faith being lost. They just have doubts and are afraid that reality will take their imaginary friend away. Once I was talking to an ex-friend about religion and when I brought up my views, she acted like that crazy woman from that wife-swap reality show…and she said “DON’T YOU TRY TO TAKE MY JEEEEZUS AWAY!” I was like …yikes! Call the funny farm, quick!

But he might want to read his USConstitution first before attempting any legal actions.

Seems these fundies will go to any extremes to keep their children from finding out the reality of the outside world and that things aren’t really like their red-faced, illiterate pastors tell them. Religion is like child abuse with the way it is used to control by fear…unreasonable and irrational fear.
It’s the same type of indoctrination the extreme fundamentalist muslims do to their children. Link

This man’s statement is so infuriating, yet I’ve heard it a million times on talk radio and in letters to the editor.
Is it not enough for them to teach their children their religion in their schools and their homes?
What religiosity do they think they can morally and constitutionally add into the school curriculum?
Why do they translate the absence of religious teaching into the presence of evil?
Why do they think they should be able to indoctrinate other parent’s children with religion those parents don’t believe in?
I would love to have a real discussion with someone who agrees with that man and find out how they would answer these questions.

If we are talking about immoral places to bring our children, I’d have to say that church wins the grand prize. As this story illustrates, what our children will learn in church is intolerance and hatred towards those who differ from them. If this isn’t a recipe for immoral behavior, I don’t know what is!

vjack said it well…
Churches… churches are where a lot of people are told to hate, abhor and distain others.
