An Easter message on a public school sign. Insert secularist freakout here.
A local news affiliate actually did a story on the sign. Can you believe it? Of course, they located some outraged people.
“You’re talking [about] a public school where you have many religions and many faiths and many cultures and many who don’t even believe in God,” one person told the station. “So that would be very controversial.”
“It’s not a Catholic school. It’s not a Christian school,” another said. “You don’t mix that.”
“I don’t feel that it’s right,” someone else noted to KCBS. “I would have been offended if it was Jewish or Islam.”
Turns out that a teacher at Darby Avenue in charge of changing out the marquee visited the school during the quiet of Saturday night, spelled out the Easter Sunday message, then took it down Sunday night.
If the government were truly neutral on religion, this wouldn’t be an issue at all. A school could put up a religious message or a secular one. It would be up to the school. But now, you’ve got Californians bleaching their eyes to unsee the unsolicited mention of Christ.
It sounds like a teacher changed the sign, according to the Blaze. Something tells me that teacher will be looking for work sometimes very soon. I won’t expect the union to have their back.

I follow Jesus. These are the rules Jesus followed:
Jewish law not only permits, but in some circumstances requires abortion. Where the mother's life is in jeopardy because of the unborn child, abortion is mandatory.
An unborn child has the status of "potential human life" until the majority of the body has emerged from the mother. Potential human life is valuable, and may not be terminated casually, but it does not have as much value as a life in existence. The Talmud makes no bones about this: it says quite bluntly that if the fetus threatens the life of the mother, you cut it up within her body and remove it limb by limb if necessary, because its life is not as valuable as hers. But once the greater part of the body has emerged, you cannot take its life to save the mother's, because you cannot choose between one human life and another.
Sh'ma Yis'ra'eil Adonai Eloheinu Adonai echad.
Hear, Israel, the Lord is our God, the Lord is One.

The Talmud didn't exist when Jesus walked the Earth. And even if want to argue that what it accounts represents traditional Jewish teaching, so what? Christ clarified that divorce was permitted by Moses because of the hardness of the Jew's hearts. Thankfully now, we have the Church, inspired by the Holy Spirit, to provide us authentic teaching.
So, I'll let the Church that Jesus established speak for Jesus.

May the Immaculate Heart of Mary offer soften your heart to realize what abortion actually is.

Masturbation, yes is a sin, but NOT on the level of killing the most innocent

No. Its never right. Its especially wrong for white people, like you, to "compassionatly" place abortuaries in minority neighborhoods

A fetus is human, it is alive, it may be unwanted.
What if the baby is unwanted after it's born? Should the parent be able to terminate it then as well?
