[Vision2020] Logos School's Policy of Entrance Discrimination

[Art Deco]

Rose, et al,

Perhaps another point in this issue is that alleged Christian schools by a fundamental Christian doctrine allegedly issuing directly from the mouth of Jesus ought go out of their way to assist the disabled.  In fact, if they believe the following from Matthew, they will not get to their alleged heaven if they don't.  The words in red in the text are allegedly those of Jesus.

Matthew 25:31 - 46 (Young's Literal Translation) 31'And whenever the Son of Man may come in his glory, and all the holy messengers with him, then he shall sit upon a throne of his glory;  

32and gathered together before him shall be all the nations, and he shall separate them from one another, as the shepherd doth separate the sheep from the goats,  

33and he shall set the sheep indeed on his right hand, and the goats on the left. 

34'Then shall the king say to those on his right hand, Come ye, the blessed of my Father, inherit the reign that hath been prepared for you from the foundation of the world;  

35for I did hunger, and ye gave me to eat; I did thirst, and ye gave me to drink; I was a stranger, and ye received me;  

36naked, and ye put around me; I was infirm, and ye looked after me; in prison I was, and ye came unto me.

37'Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when did we see thee hungering, and we nourished? or thirsting, and we gave to drink?  

38and when did we see thee a stranger, and we received? or naked, and we put around?  

39and when did we see thee infirm, or in prison, and we came unto thee? 

40'And the king answering, shall say to them, Verily I say to you, Inasmuch as ye did it to one of these my brethren-the least-to me ye did it. 

41Then shall he say also to those on the left hand, Go ye from me, the cursed, to the fire, the age-during, that hath been prepared for the Devil and his messengers;  

42for I did hunger, and ye gave me not to eat; I did thirst, and ye gave me not to drink;  

43a stranger I was, and ye did not receive me; naked, and ye put not around me; infirm, and in prison, and ye did not look after me. 

44'Then shall they answer, they also, saying, Lord, when did we see thee hungering, or thirsting, or a stranger, or naked, or infirm, or in prison, and we did not minister to thee? 

45'Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say to you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of these, the least, ye did it not to me.  

46And these shall go away to punishment age-during, but the righteous to life age-during.'

  Visionaries:

  If private school X bars disabled students - or effectively bars them by failing to provide the accommodations necessary for the student to be successful - they have/practice discriminatory entrance requirements.  If private school x states that policy in their student handbook they have placed the public on notice regarding their admission policies.

  Private schools are free to structure their internal policies anyway they wish.  But, when they crow about the academic achievements of their student body (in a not so subtle comparison to public schools who do not practice similar enrollment discrimination) claiming that pedagogy is the foundation of their success, I think it is fair to say, "Hold your horses, boys, try telling the whole story."   

  Once again, I don't care what philosophy or standards are employed by private school X, or even, for example, Logos School.  But don't kid yourselves, Visionaries, our tax dollars - yours and mine - both through 501(c)(3) exemption and local property tax exemption support that discrimination.  I find that repugnant.  

  Donovan, try to get the point of my post before you comment on it.  Yet again you miss the thesis of the argument.  In that regard, you differ little from Dale Courtney.  Sometimes people don't address the issue because they are incapable of discerning what it is; at other times it is because there is no effective answer that can be given to defend morally and spiritually corrupt behavior.  Then, (a frequent Kirk ploy)  it's time to re-frame the premise of the original argument.  Thus, Dale claims that I said Logos is bad because it has smart students or Donovan claims Rose Huskey doesn't know anything about Special Education and makes mean, ignorant remarks about disabled people.   It's a pity that such tiresome, transparent, and sophomoric 
  rhetorical tricks are trotted out on a regular basis by both of you.  Try harder, stick to the point, and address the issues, please.
