Now not only do Christians kill their wounded, but they also marginalize, ostracize and crucify those who speak the truth. We have become an intolerant people who have lost our frame of reference. We can no longer recognize that truth must be spoken in spite of how people receive it. Josh is not and cannot be held responsible for the pain that people experience when truth is spoken. To not speak the truth is to choose to lie, a pain and evil that will take years to fester, destroying their ability to know the truth. If there’s anyone who genuinely feels the pain of this cancer of racism, it is Josh McDowell. As his traveling assistant 43 years ago, I saw Josh in every circumstance as sincere without a hidden side. My respect for him is earned. I named my son after him. I can imagine the vitriol spewed upon him by the cowards on Twitter. 🤯
In the picture, I am in the bottom left.

Again, what, exactly, where children in Loudoun County “exposed to”?

All you have given is a case of 1 teacher complaining about 1 diversity program, making comments without any context. For which you (nor your source) have done nothing to verify the accuracy of her statements.

Now, maybe this is a case of a school board over-reacting. Or maybe this is a case of the teacher over-reacting. Or maybe something else entirely.

Once again, you are accepting “evidence” not because you have researched it or that it comes from a reliable source, but because it fits your narrative. You use it to make vague or exaggerated claims, but when asked for specifics, you have none.

Nothing like what happened in Loudoun County has happened where my nephews and nieces are living. I was using that story as an example that they could be exposed to something similar in the future, that’s why concerned people need to speak up.

Hearing stories like these:

make me concern what is going to happen in our schools.

That teacher resigned she wasn’t fired, and I’m assuming she wasn’t the teacher for your nephew and niece. Further, what did this “form” she refers to actually say? What about copies of the emails she references, are they available online to be read?

Again, it has been my experience when you actually get into the details you find out the situation isn’t quite as it has been presented. Esp. when it is Fox News doing the presentation.

Do you have actual, specific lesson plans being taught or course materials etc that are being taught to your nephew and niece that you object too?
