Bible Belt
Quote From: aubija2I am from the same area this teacher is from. I do not think she should have lost her job. She made a mistake when she was younger and changed. I know it would cause a disturbance within the school, but I think she could have been transferred or something....not fired and condimed for her past. I think what made it worse than it would have been in other areas is because we live in the "Bible Belt". I feel sorry for her. I wish her luck. With all the publicity this situation has stirred up, I'm sure she is having a rough time. Wow, one of the things that irks me as a Christian is hearing the
phrase " bible belt" and immediately hearing about
someone being hurt because of a lack of FORGIVENESS. I guess the people
in the Bible belt got a different Bible than me. Mine says to forgive.
As for
them screaming that an ex porn star should not teach their
children...what about God asking Saul, who became PAUL to
teach His children about his beloved son? OUCH !! God could forgive a
man that KILLED his children. tortured them for their Faith in his
son.Stephen ,dying at Saul and his cronies hands by stoning begged God
to forgive them all. In the end Paul went on and wrote much of the
New testament.
Terikka, God be with you hun, Fight this all
the way. You might want to talk to Melanie, the previous host of the
Goodnight show for PBS sprout. She lost her job for the same
thing basically.
I realize there is a limit to saying " its in
the past", but what are we afraid of ?????. We need to deal with our
insane fears of the Internet and of our own children. The Principal
saying " its out there it will keep being watched" (not a direct quote
I admit) is so insane!. Cheese and crackers people, then deal with it
every time until it ends! Even a dog eventually learns not to be
bad if you correct it enough. Why not spend time teaching our teens
what is appropriate? Makes a little more sense than throwing a
perfectly good ( superior ratings I believe?)teacher to the wolves.
