It Takes All Kinds of Crazy
Justin Bathon on Friday, October 2, 2009 at 9:08AM My Minnesota (or former Minnesota) friends sent me this headline:
EVANGELICAL PUNK BAND ACCUSED OF MISREPRESENTING ITS CHRISTIAN MISSION, DISPLAYING ABORTION PHOTOS AT PUBLIC SCHOOL ASSEMBLIES
Rep. Bachmann to raise funds again for
controversial Christian rock ministry
And, the story is much as you expect and well worth the read (if it doesn't load it's because I think the Minnesota Independent's servers are overwhelmed).
This is why I love democracies ... it takes all kinds of crazy. Obviously my views do not align with Rep. Bachmann's, but if she wants to raise money for a group that is blatantly violating established law, so be it. But, school administrators, that doesn't mean that you need to be allowing them in your schools.
School administrators cannot rely on politicians for their direction in schools. Once those politicians put a law in place through the formal procedures, then you can rely on the law. But, the politicians themselves are frequently even less in touch with the law (or certainly in touch with ethics) than your average school administrator. Rep. Bachmann is just a good example of that.
