Bully Pulpit

The term "bully pulpit" stems from President Theodore Roosevelt's reference to the White House as a "bully pulpit," meaning a terrific platform from which to persuasively advocate an agenda. Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

Re: The Righteous

Steve said: The school is free to do what it feels is correct. However, they certainly can't claim any overwheening Christian authority for doing so. I have heard and read people who attempt to claim scriptural authority for the decision. There is no such authority.

Yep.

While the school is busy punishing students for certain actions of certain parents (and in this case, two parents who have actually stayed together and maintained a household for over 20 years), maybe they could expand their witchhunt to include allparents who supposedly engage in practices "immoral or inconsistent with a positive Christian life style."

Wait, that won't work — there would most likely be few students left.

You know, if you can't stand for your kids to be in contact with people different from yourself, just home school 'em. At least you'll be able to control their influences and environments... for a while.
