A public charter school in Massachusetts turned a deaf ear to protests last week and followed through with performing a pro-homosexual play that mocks the Bible and has been blasted as “blasphemous.”
Students from the Pioneer Valley Performing Arts Charter Public School, or PVPA – which serves 400 pupils, grades 7-12, in South Hadley, Mass. – on March 15-17 performed the controversial play, “The Most Fabulous Story Ever Told.”
A 1998 Paul Rudnick comedy that had a run in theaters in New York City, “The Most Fabulous Story Ever Told” alters the biblical Book of Genesis to include homosexual couples Adam and Steve and Jane and Mabel in the Garden; as well as a “horny” rhinoceros that tries to seduce men on the Ark; and Mary, the mother of Christ, arguing she can’t be pregnant, because she’s a lesbian “bull-dyke.”
A New England theater guide, The Theater Mirror, in a glowing review, further explains the play “gets so specific as to be a gay how-to sexbook” and summarizes it as “a goofy gay romp with a serious sting in its tale.”
News of the play’s pending performance prompted protests from several sectors, including students, parents and even the president of the school’s board of trustees, who said he seconded a student opinion that the play is disrespectful to Christianity.
The bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Springfield, Mass., however, was even more blunt.
According to The Springfield Republican, the Most Rev. Timothy A. McDonnell responded through a spokesman: “I didn’t know it was the responsibility of charter schools to teach religious bigotry.”
Within the community, crowds of protesters showed up at the performances, including Noreen Beebe of Northampton, Mass., who told the Republican she was “insulted” that taxpayer money is being used mock Scripture.

I SERIOUSLY cannot imagine the United States in 25 years. Can you imagine? Look at 1987 to 2013 and see how low we have become with regards to morals. Yieks!!!!
Hey you courageous educators...how about a play mocking Mohammad and the Koran story!
Get your kids OUT of the government schools!
No Christian, no Catholic, no Jew, no Conservative, should *EVER* put their kids in a public school unless they want expose their kids to this kind of mockery of their family values and traditions.
It may even be worse for the Jews, because anti-Israel sentiment is rampant in academia today, and this often translates to anti-Jew behaviors.
The “public school” is the Bus Ministry of the State Church of Humanism.
The “public school”, including the “charter school”, is BY FAR, the largest, most expensive, most subversive, and most destructive entitlement program in the country.
The “public school” is better understood as the “government school collective”.
It is silly to imagine that you can fix the public schools, because the very concept itself is collectivist.
It is hypocritical to submit your children to an authority with whom you fundamentally disagree. Children do not trust hypocrites, so this will undermine your own authority, let alone influence, with your children.
Any child that comes out of the government school collective with their moral compass and common sense intact does so in spite of the government school indoctrination, not because of it.

If you want to win the culture war, have lots of children (see my tagline) and homeschool them or form your own school cooperative with your church or synagogue and like-minded friends and relatives.
Nobody loves your children more than you do.
Nobody can teach your children better than you can.
Nobody knows your children better than you do.
Your children would love nothing better than to be taught by you, if you start doing so before they are corrupted by the government school collective.
If you have children, make whatever sacrifices you must to get them out of the public schools.
DO NOT FEED THE BEAST!
Especially not with your own children.
And DO NOT TAKE GOVERNMENT “EDUCATION” MONEY!
He that pays the piper calls the tune, and that’s especially true for any government entitlement program.
No, naps, I cannot.
I grew up during the Leave it to Beaver years and it breaks my heart and boggles my mind to see what’s happened to America in my lifetime.
He is just and fair and means what He says. One day soon they will deeply regret leading little ones astray.
I agree wholeheartedly.
“William Newman, director of the Western Massachusetts office of the American Civil Liberties Union, also defended the play, stating,
‘The highest function of art is to make people think and talk and consider and be challenged.’”
To the sick and dysfunctional leftist mind, everything is about chaos and societal upheaval. EVERYTHING.
“If anyone causes one of these little ones to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.”
— Jesus, Matthew 18:6
Obama’s America: Marxists, faggots and dopeheads.
America has become a pathetic, degenerate sewer. Next time we’re on the receiving end of a 9/11-style attack, I just don’t think I’m even going to give a damn.
The little ones are very special to Jesus.
So, when’s the parody of islam taking place?
They mock Christianity because its the Truth. They remind me of the demon possessed Linda Blair jamming a crucifix up her privates in the Exorcist. None of this stuff shocks me anymore, it is truly a meltdown of the damned.
They’re just stupid mislead idiots. You should feel sorry for all those mush headed faggot lovers.../s
MA yet again, that state is a sewer of raving turd poking feces loving perverts.
Get rid of the liberals and liberal-tarian infilrtators out of our party first, stop giving them a platform and then lets speak up about social issues as well as debt and spending
Pathetic school. Pathetic students. Pathetic teachers. Pathetic state.
At the full flower of maturity, art is always a gentleman.
