Anyone want to share a “hot take” on this
Jennifer Parker and her wife Emily Parker took in Jennifer’s niece Zoey after the girl’s father suffered an industrial accident two years ago. Their adoption of the five-year-old was finalized last week.
However, the news of Zoey’s newly-official family structure was not received well at the school where she attended pre-k, Bible Baptist Academy in DeQuincy, La.
“She lost her father, she lost her mother and now she’s losing her school which she loves very much,” Jennifer told WVUE. “We got called into the principal’s office for a meeting, they informed us that Zoey wouldn’t be able to go to school there anymore because of our lifestyle choices.”
“The pastor met us in the meeting room and started talking about gender identification and that they teach the words of the Lord and marriage was between a man and a women,” Emily Parker said. “They didn’t think this was a good fit.”
Well, the kid, my concern is with her, has lost their parents. I cannot imagine how that devastates a little kid, and she did attend Pre-K there, and seemingly loves it. So, to me what is best for this child is my biggest concern. I do not see how this is good for that child. Apparently this couple adopted her, and had no issue sending her to this school. Maybe the pastor could see his way clear to put the child first? I do not see what is “Christian” about booting the kid. I do not see how it benefits her. All this does is take something else she loved away from her.
Again, thoughts?
Seems like an emotional analogue to “Bake the cake, bigot!”
There either are rules and traditions that are followed, or it is anarchy of some sort.
How else would a retarded woman end up as the ELCA bishop for the PNW and apologizing to illegals for violating their cultural norms but by ignoring rules and traditions?
The Thin Edge of the Thick Wedge is comprised of “edge cases” for this very reason.
Well, the bake the cake crap was just leftist bigotry and bullying, absolutely. A business should, in a free country, have a perfect right to NOT do business with anyone they choose. To me, there is a Christian tradition of helping grieving people. If the couple accepts what the school teaches, then why give the child the boot? No one asked the school NOT to teach their values as far as I can find in the story, so, kicking the kid out? Sorry, I see it hurting the kid, who I think has been through enough.
Churches have values. They must keep and hold those dear. There is no doubt those are attacked by the left daily. The left values whatever furthers Marxism. Many sinners have been changed in churches. That is, I think, a wonderful thing. Should a church turn away sinners? Or children of sinners?
And thank you for the response, you are correct that traditions matter of course.
I can understand the pastor’s point of view. By allowing this “couple” to enroll the child, it appears as though he is condoning their behavior.
On the other hand, not allowing her to return after she has already attended seems cruel to a child that has suffered a great deal.
A compromise could be to allow the girl to attend as she has in the past, but not allow both of the women to attend school functions. One or the other, but not both.
Of course, I’m sure the women will never accept that, and they would rather have the girl suffer more so they can attack the school.
Sadly, they will likely get into an attack on the school, and Christianity. You know the left will offer them publicity and I hate to see that
