    It's against the Bible. He clearly said people who lust after same sex are reprobate and haters of God. It's not popular today but that is what He said and we believe His Word. She is not a person that should be teaching in a Christian School. You are not going to tell us Gods word is wrong no matter how many names you call us.

    I pay taxes -- way too many taxes -- and I don't want to support an institution that discriminates. Let them do that on their own dollar.

    I'm not going to argue religion because none of us have any proof that it's right or wrong, but I will say that taking public money and discriminating at the same time is wrong.

    Those vouchers are funded by taxes - public funds.

    The OT also refers to adultery, false witness and slander as sin. I wonder whether Christian Schools are as vigilant about their teachers who are unfaithful spouses, lie about the existence of Santa Claus and the Easter bunny and engage in vicious gossip about others?

    It is against the standards the school sets. Vouchers are no more aid to religion than using school busses. The vouchers go to everyone and the school uses them. The state is sending no money to support any religion. mThe state is not establishing religion.

    Please be smarter than to quote Jefferson and his stupid "wall of separation." It was his opinion and no more than that.
