My father taught me politics. He also encouraged me to become a socialist or social democrat, as it was called at that time in Germany. We read the speeches of Herbert Wehner together and discussed the role of unions. I never had any interest in joining a party but joined every union that would have me.

They claim to be pro-life; but, oh, what to do with the second-grader who expresses her love to another little girl.

Ah. Just expel her. That's their answer. Either that, or "re-educate" her.

They're pro-life insofar as you turn out to be what they expect you to be.

As an Ok. resident I can say "seems about right".

Ah yes. Oklahoma the Alabama of the midwest.

To be fair, I also got in trouble for telling a 2nd grader I loved her. LOL

You've GOT be Kidding.
A second grader, what age is that, around 6 or 7 years old, getting EXPELLED for telling a girl he has a school boy crush on her in a RELIGIOUS School no less.
Jeez Louise, have these God-mobsters got their head up their arses or what, they should be HAPPY that the kid didn't have a crush on another boy instead, at least he NOT going against Sky Daddy's Great and Mystical Rule of NO Homosexuality.
Blimey, my nephew, Henry, is a 7 y.o. and he has crushes on about a dozen girls at his school including a few that are at least 4 years older than him and about 6 or 8 that also have crushes on him.

No wonder this country is in huge decline.

Fuckin’ pathetic.

Sick and twisted.
Children shouldn't be subjected to religious indoctrination.

Atrocious
