Tonight’s WTF Moment

Tonight’s WTF moment inspires us to consider blogging against theocracy on a weekly or even daily basis.

A mother is angry about a trip led by the head football coach at Breckinridge County High School. The coach took about 20 players on a school bus late last month to his church, where nearly half of them — including her son — were baptized.

Tell the superintendent, right? That’s what I would do! Oh wait. Hrmmmm.

From the same source:

But Superintendent Janet Meeks, who is a member of the church and witnessed the baptisms, said she thinks the trip was proper because attendance was not required, and another coach paid for the gas.

Meeks said parents weren’t given permission slips to sign but knew the event would include a church service, if not specifically a baptism. She said eight or nine players came forward and were baptized.

Can we please go back to separating church and state? At least within county lines?

One parent said:

“They have no right to take my son on a school bus across county lines to be a church to be baptized,” she said.

    Are you kidding me? This isn’t a damn joke? Fucking theocratic fuckwits. I hope at least one parent goes all the way with a lawsuit on this shit. Disgusting.

    I bet those jocks that stepped up to baptized will go on to beat up some damn homos and get in some good old fashioned date rape after the next Saturday night kegger.

    Hey Bets! See how my little village handled the Preznit’s Shiznits. I’m so proud.

    Have they tested the water in Texas lately?

    What the hell was wrong with the more than half who weren’t baptized?
