An open-minded prom . . .

Non-stop entertainment coming from California - Read this.

Disturbing line of the article: "It just goes to show how open-minded our class is," Lo said.

Ah, yes, the public school pursuit of open-mindedness.

Those crazy Gideons!

Interesting article about distributing Bibles in a public school! How did they get away with that? Read it here!

Regardless of whether that's appropriate or not, here is my favorite part of the article:

Michael Baier, who has a son at Frisco's Lakeland High School, said that religious groups should not be allowed to offer their teachings on campus.

"If they're God-fearing Christians ... they should be giving those items wherever they worship. School is a place to learn, not a place to worship," Baier told FOXNews.com.

He has obviously never been in a Lutheran high school.

A win for praying middle schoolers!

"Great Expectations"

Here is a link to a great article centered around a Christian school written by Carol DeMar (author of It takes a backbone to raise terrific kids!)

A couple of excerpts:

Parents Must Begin to Parent - Low expectations prevail even in the Christian community. There are exceptions, but too often Christians can be observed parenting badly. No longer are children responsible for their actions—their bad behavior is always someone else’s fault—teachers or other children. Children are pulling the strings, dictating what they want from Mom and Dad who “dance” on cue.

Preparing your children to fulfill their role as Christians in the world should be your goal. Fathers and mothers working together teaching and training their children to pursue excellence is commanded by our Lord. Do not be content to teach your children to accept second-rate status. We do them a tremendous disservice and dishonor the God we serve. May great expectations flourish once again among Christians throughout the land!
