Something tells me that this school district has no problem with students identifying as “Americans.”

I get the impression that some pastors spend most of their time talking about how amazing and badass the Devil is and stay silent about Jesus…

So the same people who want kids to mask are also the insecure ones that would ask them to codeswitch and stay in the closet for their comfort level?

So just the movie with Tim Allen is out, right? Santa Claus is still ok?

Love the classic response from the “pastor” that everyone actually supports him, and his message, but they’re afraid to speak up. Show the receipts, you sack of crap.

If Jesus Christ led Trinity, would HE have an Autism Awareness Week?
Do I think the Biblical Jesus would approve of a week dedicated to helping students better understand their peers who have Autism so they can feel compassion towards them? I kind of think He would be okay with it.

or boys or girls… or do all of them need to identify as Jesus now? So fucking weird.

The word ‘Christian’ means ‘Like Christ,’ and it was given to the followers of Christ because they acted just like Jesus.
Funny you should say that…
Matthew 1:1 – 2: “Don’t judge, so that you won’t be judged. For with whatever judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you.”

I am curious if they had a Leper Awareness Week, or a Hungry Awareness Week what this jackwagon would say.

Even better
Matthew 25:34-46
34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’
44 “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’
45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’
46 “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”

Having this “in context” really isn’t improving it. Matt Baker is still a hate-filled bigot and proud of it.

I think if Jesus were alive, he’d be one of the organizers except he’d be too busy doing all sorts of other woke stuff. Jesus would absolutely be an advocate for neurodiversity.

The religion I was raised with also thought Awareness was demonic.

I read that mess 3 times and can’t get over the part where he conflates the Easter Bunny and Santa Clause with the idea of awareness about a developmental disability.
