Pretty good summary of conservative "christian" values. Forgetting everything Jesus ever said is the new christian way.

As someone who was bullied relentlessly for being autistic aka "the different weirdo kid" and plenty of homo/bi phobia as a queer person, this shit makes me wanna puke. My daughter will be a year old soon and I'll make damn sure to teach her empathy and general kindness is important. Break the cycle, folks.

ETA - I also used to live in Enola as a kid (my parents shared custody between Harrisburg and there), so this hits home.

Aren't these the same folks who screamed about how we needed to have empathy when them and their ilk were earning themselves Herman Cain Awards at an amazing pace?

I wish they just said what they really wanted to say "How dare the school teach my child that queers and blacks are people?"

Not only that, but of course they assume it will always be their child getting to decide whether to dole out empathy. Never occurs to them it might ever be their kid in need of empathy.
