Schoolin'

I was reading on Joe.My.God. blog the other day about a teacher that got married. It was very interesting story. A first grade teacher and her partner decided to tie the knot. The students' parents thought it a good idea to surprise them after the ceremony. They helped celebrate a happy occasion. It was a good lesson for the kids. However, the zealots complained about indoctrination, perversion, blah, blah, blah ad nauseam. It would appear that those who opposed taking the grade schoolers on an outing celebrating love, commitment and family would rather have taken the kids to see a movie about war, or to a rally to overhear hatred and racist remarks or calling for death to a political opponent. For them love in any form is perverse. But hatred, discrimination, and violence is more appropriate for a grade schooler to witness. Says something about their family values, doesn't it?

One of Jesus' disciples asked (parapharsing)"What should they take away from his teachings?" He replied, " most importantly, Love, Faith, and Charity." When pressed further to chose the most important, He stated,"Love". Maybe some of those so called, family value Christian types should read their Bibles again.
