Looks like the ACLU is out persecuting Christians again. When McBain Rural Agricultural Schools in Michigan advertised a job opening for superintendent, it included a simple, straightforward request for the kind of person who'd be practically perfect in every way for the job: The applicant should have such vital qualities, including at least five years' experience as a principal or district leader, a Master's degree, experience in collective bargaining, and, oh yes, "A strong Christian background and philosophy."
Crosby regrets the oversight, and explained 'We're just looking for the white candidate, who can lead this department, and caucasianally step into the classroom to interact one on one with our students.
Since when is a public school supposed to impose its "conservative beliefs" on people? Isn't it supposed to provide an objective, impartial education? (Yes, those are rhetorical questions, to be read with a touch of snark.)
The state of Michigan contains many distinct political factions and interest groups, several of whom are associated with specific regions of the state. Identifying oneself as coming from or being located in a particular geographic region is a uniquely Michigan way of signaling one's political and cultural perspective. Including the words "West Central Michigan" in its title immediately identifies the organization as having a profoundly conservative Christian perspective.
"West Central Michigan" equates with areas in Kent County and in neighboring counties surrounding the city of Grand Rapids. (Please note that the fundies are largely from the rural areas and small towns in the region anchored by GR. The city itself is quite a bit more culturally diverse, politically pluralistic and socially progressive than the rest of the region.)
Book of Luke, Chapter 1, Verse 38 - boy, good thing he didn't get it right! We had that problem in my youngest daughter's 11th grade class - 5 out of 38 girls came down with a case of the big tummy!....
Now I know who writes the headlines for HuffPo.
Ah, mea culpa. The darknesses of the human soul evident in this week's news seem to have dulled my Snarker-Sense.
I never get tired of reading that. It is soooo true! Thnx!
The have to provide proof they were born-again in this country.

Did you hire him in front of Home Depot?
What the deuce is a 'Frostback'?

Why does God need a captive audience?
I hope some kid hacks into the school PA system and starts reading from the Koran.
They took it out of the ad but will they take it out of the requirements? The Satan's Magic 8 Ball says "Don't count on it".
"Ranier Wolfcastle is here promoting his new film, 'Help, My Son is a Nerd!'"
"My son comes home from college, and I'm horrified to see he's turned into a nerd."
"I'm laughing already!"
"It's not a comedy."
I'm tempted to send them a resume from "Hymie Rosenberg" just to fuck with them.
Go with "Habib Abbas" and their brains will completely melt down.
*blink* *blink* seriously?
