Recently, an
11-year-old student of Creekside Elementary School in Washington state
petitioned her school to start an interfaith prayer club, as a way
for her—and her schoolmates-- to feel more connected, less alone. Her request was
denied. The school’s principal told the student and her mother that
the school’s budget for clubs had been finalized back in October.
They subsequently
discovered that an LGBTQ club was approved only a week prior to the student’s request
for an interfaith prayer club being denied. An LGBTQ club for an elementary
school.
Gay “PRIDE!” yes. Prayer no. Kinda sums up the
culture in which we now live.
That subtle noise you hear? It’s George
Washington, the school’s namesake, turning over in his grave.
