Canada’s a Brave New World.
What do you expect?
Coming to America if BHO gets re-elected.
What a cruel thing to name a girl.
"Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are fornication, uncleanness, immodesty, luxury, Idolatry, witchcrafts, enmities, contentions, emulations, wraths, quarrels, dissensions, sects, Envies, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like. Of the which I foretell you, as I have foretold to you, that they who do such things shall not obtain the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is, charity, joy, peace, patience, benignity, goodness, longanimity, Mildness, faith, modesty, continency, chastity. Against such there is no law." Galatians 5:19-23
Catholic ping!
One of my favorite passages from the New Testament.
Funny, the Toronto Star editorialist didn't keep her own advice to herself. But then, she has a right to voice her opinion - unlike young Mr. Gomille.
-——School officials reportedly objected to a passage in the letter where Gomille indicated who the letter was directed to.
“The people this message concerns are the young women of this school, and of the world. In particular, it concerns the silent ones, the intelligent ones, the ones that don’t talk about people behind their backs, the ones that guys don’t flock to in droves, the ones that don’t dress in revealing clothing, the ones who would love to be in love, and the ones that are continually disappointed in their appearance because the only thing they have to compare themselves to are the women that have been put on pedestals by our society. This message also concerns those of you who may consider yourselves the so called ‘opposite’ to the demographic I just described. The ones who do dress in revealing clothing, and the ones who try to fit in with the crowd.”
“They saw it as judgmental,” Gomille told CityTV.———
They did have a point.
Originally, they supported the idea.
LOL... Srsly!
I guess they judged his message judgmental.
A Canadian teen’s school letter can be vetted but a US POTUS can’t be.
I guess Rush was passing judgement on slutty behavior rather than it being a statement of the obvious on Fluke’s lack of personal responsibility.
Here’s to the kid for not changing anything. Good for him.
That Catholic school sounds about as Catholic as Georgetown Law
Interesting last name on that principal, “Modeste”, given the content of the story.
Because thou sayest, I am rich and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, and thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. (Revelation 3:17-19)
How judgemental (and loving).
Sounds like a fine young man. There are far too many young women who need to learn the meaning of modesty.

This is a good letter at this particular time and helpful to the debate.
If the liberals want to debate who has more respect for women, we should welcome it.
The ‘slut’ thing is a distraction from the real issue, but if that’s the meme the media won’t let go of, then I think we have plenty of ammunition to use back.
