Comments on: In Virginia, City Officials Block Church Outreach to Disabled Children http://blog.alliancedefendingfreedom.org/2011/05/31/in-virginia-city-officials-block-church-outreach-to-disabled-children/ Defending Our First Liberty Wed, 29 Jun 2011 03:42:44 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.2 By: sheila http://blog.alliancedefendingfreedom.org/2011/05/31/in-virginia-city-officials-block-church-outreach-to-disabled-children/#comment-163 sheila Fri, 24 Jun 2011 17:26:43 +0000 http://blog.alliancedefendingfreedom.org/?p=456#comment-163 How superficial can government get? There is another agenda behind the denial I'm sure. If anything, it would be beneficial for the children with no handicaps to interact with those less fortunate, in that they could perhaps learn not to take their health for granted while practicing the gift of compassion and love. The innocence of the deprived often bring us closer to God as we envision their acceptance of what is without resentment,bitterness or envy. The desire to eliminate or hide what we do not perceive to be beautiful or perfect as we seem to demand is what led to the holocaust in Germany. Is this where we are going to get the population under the magic number of 2 billion? In Ecc 1:9 The thing which has been is that which shall be:and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. God forbid and rebuke them How superficial can government get? There is another agenda behind the denial I’m sure.

What is some or all of he specific dangers that the city is claiming to be previlent, probable or possible. If any are valid then require protection against, if not then we must garner better representation and / or, be also willing to serve.

Shouldn't disabled children be protected from the children without disabilities? What kind of disabilities do they think these children have? Do they think they are rabid, psychotic, itchy trigger fingered children? Don’t they have it backwards? Shouldn’t disabled children be protected from the children without disabilities?

You are doing God's work. Never fail to protect the innocent... in this case the church helping the disabled. I salute you, ADF. You are doing God’s work.

Now, had it been a secular, rather, New Age program or Yoga program or any other un-godly program for the handicapped, it may well have been approved. This is why Christians do need to get involved in local, including city counsel politics and run for offices. The Christian majority is being overwhelmingly discriminated against by the minority Left-wing minority, be it in our schools, our government, our Armed Forces, even our sheriff or police training programs, and out West, in the courts as well, though the majority may not agree with these PC influences, they are nonetheless taking over our society. Time to stop these Left-wing trends and Politically Correcct over-influence in virtually every aspect of our society.

You just have to love them and hope and pray for the best.

This makes no sense at all. It violates IDEA, ADA, and every other federal law currently in effect relating to educational opportunities for people with disabilities (at least those that I'm aware of). I'm suspicious that the article is leaving out other information that would at least give some credence to the city council's argument. In this age of information overload, I doubt the city council is indeed seated with people spouting such ignorant statements in public. If true, they should be voted out.

Perhaps the "real" reason is the underlying fear that this ministry will actually follow the IEP to a "T", properly educate these special needs children and bring shame on the State-run schools, and/or perhaps result in more young people trusting Christ as their Savior.

The disabled children deserve the same treatment as any other child. That would not happen in Tennessee if it did some one would pay. Here all children are in public school together. They are still in the dark ages. Wake up people this is AMERICA. We have a disabled child in our immediate family. This is outrageous.
