I heard about this a day or two ago and well, I tried to let it lie, but yesterday, I got a phone call from a parent all upset about speaker at the Buna School.
Seems the guy was speaking about bullying.....And why it is bad......And that is a good thing.....
The guy was also the evangelist for a revival at the Baptist Church out on Highway 96 as you're headed out of town towards K-Ville....
Man, let me tell you what, that revival money is good dough. I know, I have done revivals before and was shocked at the " Love Offering" they gave me....and this was back in the 1980s.....Before I got real with myself.....And got out of the church business before I lost my "soul." ( If you are really listening to Jesus, he's going to tell you a bunch of stuff you do NOT want to hear.)
But I digress.
Three different sources have told me that while the speaker didn't mention " Jesus," and said " Christian" only once, there were apparently references to " Big Guy" and " Going Home" and " Higher Power."
And bullying was discussed only once.....
Now I know it is Buna and the Evangelical community doesn't really care what anyone else thinks. ( Don't tell me otherwise.)
But, man, bringing an evangelist to a school to speak?
And I know some of those kids "need Jesus."
But.....You're playing with fire.
Sorry Evangelical Christian community, but it is wrong.
Sorry Buna ISD....It's wrong....You see, I still believe in the separation of church and state.
And Buna ISD, you're the fucking state.......And I know you've had for years a problem understanding the lines.....
Religion.....Faith....Whatever you care to call it is a personal thing, and when you are dealing with minors, it is their parent's business, not yours.
And it certainly isn't Buna ISD's business.....
