    The very simple solution is to transition to a voucher system. Public schools only engage in these outrages because they know they have a largely captive audience.

    You don't believe there is a LGBTQ+ community. The Bible has many examples. Christian schools would do well to pull in students who may belong to that community.

    No one mentioned Christian schools but you.

    There are no messages of approval in the Bible for lgbtqxxxx lifestyles. Not one. Nada.

    Christian schools are the obvious choice. Love God and each other.

    No "messages of approval" were needed. People are people. No matter what, we all need God's love and care. The Bible tells us that many times.

    Yes. Bank robbers, child molesters, murderers, rapists, adulterers, liars, and many other "types" of sinners, including homosexuals, need God's love and care, but that doesn't mean you can just breezily comment about no "messages of approval" are needed. It's an incredibly foolish comment and is only made by those who have no real knowledge of the Bible.

    That guy who was crucified with Jesus must have been falsely accused of theft.

    Yeah, like you and me along with those, in your words, bank robbers, child molesters, murderers, rapists, adulterers, liars, and many other "types" of sinners. Btw, LGBTQ+ aren't lifestyles.

    15 It is a trustworthy statement, deserving full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, among whom I am foremost. 16 Yet for this reason I found mercy, so that in me as the foremost sinner Jesus Christ might demonstrate His perfect patience as an example for those [h]who would believe in Him for eternal life. 17 Now to the King [i]eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory [j]forever and ever. Amen.
    "Btw, LGBTQ+ aren't lifestyles." I didn't say they were lifestyles (though they are). I said they were types (areas, descriptions) of sin.

    Yes, you mentioned "lifestyles".

    Whoops. You are correct. I was looking at the wrong post. "Bank robbers, child molesters, murderers, rapists, adulterers, liars, and many other "types" of sinners, including homosexuals..."

    Note. That's how you go about acknowledging a mistake. You should try it sometime.

    No, that's not how you do it.

    And as the famous Dr. Albert Ellis used to say, "Don't should on yourself." (Or on anyone else....)

    It's certainly not how you do it. What is it about WG that seems to make admitting error so difficult? You really "should" think that through carefully.

    You "should" learn to acknowledge your errors. "Just to make your life a little easier, I underlined the sections I quoted... Hopefully, you will admit your error." Remember? Now what would the famous Dr. Ellis say about someone who cannot bring herself to admit when she is wrong? I have no doubt it was just an oversight on your part. We all do it. What is strange is your reluctance to admit it. It's probably related to your reluctance to answer questions.

    BTW, what is wrong with your sample sentence? "Teddy saw every movie Audie Murphy made at least three times." I am guessing your point is that "at least three times" is imprecise as to meaning how many movies AM made, or how many times Teddy watched them. It is fine grammatically, is it not?

    "Teddy saw every movie Audie Murphy made at least three times." The propositional phrase, "at least three times," is in the wrong place, modifying the wrong verb.

    Well done. Now just learn to spot quoted material in articles and you've got it made.
