Fred Phelps and his church from Kansas comes to Massachusetts to protest

Did anyone hear on the news recently that the minister guy from Kansas came to Massachusetts to protest against a girl's report and then went to other schools? My health teacher was surprised that they didn't come to our school and went to the next town over. What I was most pissed off about was that I saw little kids holding up those signs that discriminate against people who are gay. We shouldn't be teaching our kids to hate. We should be teaching them to be accepting to everyone. In health class we started watching "Anatomy of a Hate Crime"(about Matthew Shepard). We only saw the first 5 minutes of it because it was near the end of class, but I'll write about it when we finish the movie. How could two ignorant people murder someone just because they're gay? That's just wrong. What do you think about this?

I saw that on the news (the massive protests over the girl's essay about Ellen), and I was outraged. That is why I don't watch the news.

Jeez, how did I miss this one? The first time that I was confronted by the "Rev" and his "followers" (BRW- take note of the fact that virtually all of the people that travel with the jerk are family members. Yes,the Phelp's clan really liked the part of the Bible that told them to "go forth and multiply"!), I was terrified! I have never seen such HATRED! They were absolutely burning with it. To be honest, they still frighten me, but my eldest son has come up with a really terrific way to neutralize the "Rev's" demonstrations- he gets a bunch of his friends together and they go and stand directly in front of the demonstrators, with their backs to the idiots! That way, they block much of the media coverage that might occur. Wouldn't it be wonderful if all of the energy that went into that hate was channeled into something good?
