What a moron.

This is a real drawback in private schools...letting a Priest or Pastor run a school.

They are not administrators. They are not true leaders....they chose a vocation and that vocation does not include being a competent leader and administrator of a school.

Autism Awareness week represents "moral aspects of this initiative that were diametrically opposed to the teachings of Christ."

There it is. Plainly, demonic.

This is so they can rape the children better.

Parents pay extra for their children to get raped at religious schools.

That's how bad public schools are in Florida.

Tell me again how Florida is anything but a hellhole.

FL is actually a good deal more than a hellhole. It's a big state with lots of people, loads of diversity, and - as with any place multitudes congregate - at least its share of looniness. If you send your kid to a school centered on religion, be prepared for tons of the stuff.

And THIS, children, is why you don't let the religious
lead in schools...

Pure, unadulterated ignorance. I wouldn't have let that so called Pastor within a mile of any of my children. considering autism demonic just shows a level of ignorance combined with an unhealthy dose of superstition. I truly feel sorry fo any child that ever comes into contact with that lunatic. People in that church should beware, witch burnings may be next.

You are right - it is a good deal more. It is home to "Florida Man".

Funny story but it took my sister and brother-in-law about 20 years to figure out that all these churches and bible study and all that was just people manipulating others. They seem a lot happier now.

Private school, they can do what they want.

Don't like it? go somewhere else.

Surely this is not that first batsh*t crazy thing this pastor has puked out.. do these people just notice when it affects them personally?

Why do we need to denote special recognition and weeks for certain demographics and other special interests? Make society better for all instead of claiming we need some to be more special than others. It is solely political and intended by some as the root of divide.

Like Veteran's Day, that kind of thing?

Ask a Veteran, see what they tell you.

The advent of "visibility" is for psychological awareness and inclusion, to my understanding. Holidays provide that allowing organization en mass to benefit.

Also, to my understanding voting is not considered a holiday. Probably something to do with "making society better for all" getting in the way.

Everyone is equal here. Some are just more equal than others.
