Louisville private school writing assignment: talk someone out of being gay



A,Louisville private school is facing criticism after a viral Facebook post showed a class assignment where students had to write a letter to a friend of the same gender who “is struggling with homosexuality.”

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/deplorable-christian-academy-of-louisville-under-fire-for-controversial-assignment/ar-AAXfpTA

The assignment told students at Christian Academy of Louisville that the aim of the letter was to “lovingly and compassionately speak truth to the person” in a way that “does not approve of any sin."

JP Davis, who posted the screenshots on Facebook, called the assignment "deplorable." Davis told WHAS11 he found out about the assignment after a friend, who has a son at the school, reached out to him wondering what she should do because she was appalled.

Darin A. Long, superintendent of the Christian Academy School System, said that the assignment was part of a unit of study that discusses: “What are humans and where is their identity?”

“This particular assignment, in context, was how a person could discuss homosexuality with a friend from a biblical perspective with compassion and love,” Long said.

He said that the school is a Christian-based private school that teaches all content with a biblical worldview defined in the school’s Statement of Faith and Theological Documents.

Long said that the document is provided to parents at the time of a student’s application, during family interviews and during school and parent partnership agreements.

How about an assignment where a student has to tell students going to Christian schools...that Christianity does not exist?

And talk them out of being part of a cult!!!

Groomed (brain washed) from childhood to think that there's something wrong and sinful about being gay. To regard some people as "other," less than, not as good as. To believe my religion is the only valid religion.

To never ever question how a 3 day old corpse of Jesus could get up and start walking around. To never question where a man born of a virgin birth got his male chromazomes. To never question how Jesus escaped earth's gravity when he arose to heaven. To ask where exactly is heaven.

"And it was asked onto Jesus, Why hangest thou out with none but 12 guys and one scorned woman who nobody wants to touch?"

And Jesus replied, " I know it looketh suspicious but we are commandeth to not waste our seed on the ground so we are not doing that. Inside of Judas is not 'on the ground"

This part was left out of Matthew as a result of complaints by comtemporary Lib'tards.

They know the reason people send their kids to the school.
