LJ-SEC: (ORIGINALLY POSTED BY sunfell)

This article talks about the removal of two sponsors of a Gay/Straight Alliance student club from the school. The back story is Here:

Point in case -- a Palmer High School student brought the ACLU into a fight to create a Gay Straight Alliance (details of which I have previously posted elsewhere). After 2 years and $340,000 in legal fees, the district settled -- not because they felt the suit was right, but because the legal fees were becoming cumbersome. Be that as it may, the GSA was accorded its due status as a club at the school, with the rights and privileges assigned to all school sponsored clubs. You might think that means the issue is closed.

If you think that, however, you think wrong.

Palmer High School is in Colorado Springs, CO, the ground zero of the overt and aggressive dominionist movement. It is also the home of the Global Harvest Ministries, and the always aggressive Focus on the Family, as well as the besieged USAF Academy.

A student at the school wrote:

Yesterday, our two brave and incredible teacher sponsors, Mrs. Lindau and Mr. Schulzki, were interruped in the middle of their own classes by security and were literally escorted out of the building. This caused an enormous eruption throughout the entire school of confusion and anger. Apparently, the district has found Mrs. Lindau and Mr. Schulzki "guilty" of something that they are officially under investigation for and are not allowed on the school's property until the investigation is over, which could be weeks or even months. The faculty is not allowed to release any information as to why our two beloved teachers and sponsors are in so much trouble, but from the sounds of things, if proven guilty, they could be at the risk of being fired. Our principal, Tom Kelly, along with the rest of the faculty, have informed us that it has absolutely nothing to do with the G/SA, but I don't buy that for a second. It is far too coincidental that these two teachers, out of 200 others, would be accused of doing something so awful.

The bottom line: these people will stop at nothing to get their way. If they have a way to circumvent something, they will. If they have money, they'll spend it all to get their way. If they make the rules (as many do, since they have taken over many school boards), they'll use them against you. Mercy, tolerance and compassion are not qualities of dominionists.
