Home Schooling looks real good now, and if I end up in charge of the education of young children again it will be home schooling.ignorant redneckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15718783732896413346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18853193.post-28222853646200366792007-10-28T06:01:00.000-05:002007-10-28T06:01:00.000-05:00Mac & Arkanabar,To be honest, I don't think it rea...Mac & Arkanabar,<BR/>To be honest, I don't think it really matters if the teacher in question is a Catholic or not.

Also, have you ever heard of giving bad example? What if some potential convert or a weak Catholic sees you buying a ticket and, thus, takes it as an endorsement to their detriment. Remember what St. Paul said in this regard.Former Altar Boyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08751535074291354836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18853193.post-39558649486758185422007-10-27T22:27:00.000-05:002007-10-27T22:27:00.000-05:00Why is Nicole Kidman, a Catholic, starring in this...Why is Nicole Kidman, a Catholic, starring in this film???paramedicgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17524363951843887071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18853193.post-73277365015525408982007-10-27T20:51:00.000-05:002007-10-27T20:51:00.000-05:00I think the principal should have a "come to Jesus...I think the principal should have a "come to Jesus" meeting with Ms Bilger (the teacher).Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17970851228593550726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18853193.post-20709683776844451962007-10-27T18:35:00.000-05:002007-10-27T18:35:00.000-05:00What we are dealing with is the mindless culture o...What we are dealing with is the mindless culture of politically correct Hollywood.
