After all of these years, we’ve heard countless stories of priests and pastors having  their issues with children. But NEVER have I ever heard of a church banning children so they’re pastor, who has  plead guilty to lewd acts molestation, can stay at the church. Christ Tabernacle Missionary Baptist Church (-_-) in Jacksonville, Florida has banned children from their worship services, because their NEW pastor, Darrell Gillyard , is a registered sex offender and can’t be in the vicinity of children. While he was the pastor at another church, Shiloh Baptist Church, Darrell molested a 15 year old girl, and send inappropriate messages to another girl. Because of his plea agreement, he can not have contact with minors, so his NEW church is taking extreme measures to make sure that he adheres to those rules.

As a Christian, I do believe in forgiveness. That isn’t the problem here. Personally, I have two problems. One, why in the world would a church ban children so a pastor can bring the word? Jesus said bring the children so they can hear the word. Two, I wouldn’t have a problem letting him join my church, by all means come, learn, hear the word. BUT, I would have a problem letting him LEAD my church. That’s just my personal opinion. And then you would BAN children from coming in because of this one man? That hardly makes sense to me.

According to Rick Santorum, President Obama’s push to make college education is an attempt to brainwash people into becoming liberals.

“President Obama wants everybody in America to go to college,” Santorum said. “What a snob! …. Not all folks are gifted the same way. Some people have incredible gifts with their hands…… There are good, decent men and women who work hard every day and put their skills to the test that aren’t taught by some liberal college professor…  That’s why he wants you to go to college. He wants to remake you in his image,” Santorum said. “I want to create jobs so people can remake their children into their image, not his.”

Now, being in school myself, I think I can say that I have met more people who have argued against the cookie cutter liberal opinion than they think. Why shouldn’t education be more accessible? Why shouldn’t classrooms and boardrooms be more diverse? Yes, we very well need garbage men, welders, and carpenters. However, we need CEO, Executive Vice Presidents, Congressmen/women, media moguls, scholarly athletes, the list can go on and on.  I’m not in school to be made in anyone’s image. I’m getting an education, however inaccessible or expensive it may be.

There’s so much to be said about the reactions, and what people think about colleges. College students are being ‘socially engineered’ to be liberals and to think what people want us to think. If the people coming up with these opinion actually went to college, and sat in a library or classroom, they would find out that college gives a student the opportunity to open their mind and find that there are more opinions out there than the one they are fed, and that they can learn from those opinions. I feel sorry for some people, because they never learn…. Maybe they should have went to college…..
