When I was a teenager there was no “It Gets Better” campaign. There was only this and I’m posting it now because I found it inspirational then and I find it true now.

Not only does it get better. You’re going to be big and important.

(via Texas Teacher Fired for Unwed Pregnancy Offered to Marry - ABC News)

A teacher and coach at a private Baptist school in Texas fired for an unwed pregnancy wants to set the record straight about who she is for those who question her fitness as a “Christian role model.”

“I’m not just some teacher that went out to a bar and go pregnant and went back to school saying it’s okay,” Cathy Samford told ABCNews.com today. “I was in a committed relationship the whole time and probably would have been married if things had gone differently and this would be a non-situation.”

Samford, 29, was in her third year as a volleyball coach at Heritage Christian Academy in Rockwall, Tex., and her first year as a middle school science teacher when she discovered she was pregnant in the fall of 2011.

That famous Christian compassion!

Please show @jessicaahlquist some support on twitter. She’s getting a lot of hate and all she did was stand up for religious liberty and keeping public school secular.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — A federal judge has ordered the immediate removal of a prayer mural displayed in the auditorium of a Rhode Island public high school.

Teenage atheist student Jessica Ahlquist had sued Cranston city and Cranston High School West officials, demanding they remove the banner because it promotes a religion. She calls it offensive to non-Christians.

City officials claimed the mural is a historical artifact from the school’s early days and serves no religious purpose. The prayer encourages students to strive academically. It begins with the words “Our Heavenly Father” and ends with “Amen.”

“In GOD We Trust.”

A little boy was walking to school with his dog, but the school administration wouldn’t let him in. 

As the dog sat there and whimpered, God appeared next to him. “Don’t feel bad, they won’t let ME in either.”

Why is our culture degrading? Because we are being told that prayer is wrong, that our FAITH is just conjecture, and other lies from people who have nothing else to do than take away our rights. Don’t accept what they’re doing to our beautiful country, which was founded by our Christan founding fathers.

I’m not telling you that you’re a bad person if you don’ reblog, but if you do, then just maybe we can make a difference.

Christian founding fathers? Maybe, if you don’t count Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Ben Franklin, the writings of John Locke, the First Amendment, and just about everything America stands for.

I am telling you, by the way, that you’re a bad person for trying to enforce religious indoctrination upon children while they’re trying to learn useful things like how to read and write. Keeping prayer out of school isn’t a suggestion that it’s wrong to pray. It’s just the only way to keep government neutral in the affairs of religion.

Your education is sorely lacking, so allow me to recommend a book you can use to help develop a better understanding of the world. I think, judging by the level of critical thinking you’ve displayed in this post, you should start here:
