While I fully support the schools right to do business with whomever they please, I do wonder if it is in the best interest of the kid. The mother may well be a lost cause, but is the kid?

"While we are all grateful for those institutions and individuals that step in and rescue children who are neglected by their own moms and dads, not every institution is structured to support such a calling. Some develop a mission to strengthen children through forming a partnership with parents. America and the Christian faith need both approaches."

Exactly! Not all schools operate as a mission field to serve the children of unbelievers or backsliders (for lack of a better word). Some schools operate to aid Christian PARENTS in providing a Christian education and environment for their children.

Not a difficult concept once we put the responsibility for rearing children back on the parents where it belongs.

When explaining why she won't send her daughter back to the school next year, she said, "I want to find a school less concerned with image and more concerned with the welfare of children."

Dripping with irony.

For your interest. I thought this article made some good points, and told me a thing or two I hadn't known.

Pretty descriptive, eh?

On top of that, she has some pride problems she needs to deal with.

Why are so many Americans unwilling to flatly tell the mom that she – not the school – holds the responsibility for how her daughter is raised?

That's what some of us are wondering about so many of the posts on these stripper-mom threads. I find it very unsetling that so many people can claim to be Christians and yet see no harm in this young mother's grossly immoral lifestyle. I am never surprised at the immoral behaviour, and the approval of immorality in others, by the unsaved worldlings who scorn and laugh at Christianity and Judeo-Christian morality in general. But I have read scores, perhaps hundreds, of posts in which the poster loudly proclaims his or her Christianity and then condemns this church for upholding a standard of morality which is in complete harmony with the teachings of the Christian bible. If anyone has any doubts about the biblical correctness of this church's stand on this issue, read the 5th chapter of 1st Corinthians. There are other passages in scripture in which gross, unrepented sin in the church is mentioned, along with instructions on how it is to be handled, but I don't have the references at hand and I don't have time to look them up. But I do know the church in question is handling the matter right in line with Paul's instructions to the Corinthians.

I don't know if this phenomonon is attributable to ignorance of biblical teaching or to the tolerant view of sexual immorality so prevalent among churches of the apostate mainline denominations. I seem to remember reading about a certain United Methodist church attended by the Clinton's which had experimented with nude entertainment of some type in it's basement rec room. Evangelical, fundamentalist churches such as the one being condemned so roundly on these threads seem to come under more criticism from other supposedly Christian people than from the unsaved world in general. Could it be that the biblically correct procedure this church has taken is so offensive to many worldly, tolerant "Christians" because it is a rebuke to their own lax moral standards and their ignorance of scripture? The bible tells us that the days will come when men call evil good and good evil. It seems those days have come.

What a pathetic moron. She's had her 15 minutes of fame. Thank God it's over.
