Can't tell if true.

In a May 30, 2012 story in The Guardian, journalist Katherine Stewart, author of The Good News Club: The Christian Right’s Stealth Assault on America’s Children reveals that next Fall over 100,000 elementary school students in American public schools will receive explicit coaching on the scriptural justification for killing unbelievers, every last one – drawing on Old Testament scripture that, according to Pennsylvania State professor Philip Jenkins, author of Laying Down the Sword: Why We Can’t Ignore the Bible’s Violent Verses, has historically been used by the Pilgrims to justify slaughtering Native Americans, by Catholics and Protestants to justify slaughtering each other, and during the early 1990s in Rwanda, to justify killing Tutsis.

The genocide lessons – which emphasize that divinely-mandated instructions to kill unbelievers must be carried out thoroughly and without reservation, will be taught next year in “Good News” clubs in over 3200 public schools across America, by the Christian fundamentalist ministry Child Evangelism Fellowship.

As Stewart describes, the CEF’s new curriculum is quite direct – there’s nothing “spiritualized” or metaphorical about its use of scripture.

Paraphrasing the Old Testament scripture I Samuel 15:2-3, the Child Evangelism Fellowship’s new lesson plan teaches, “You are to go and completely destroy the Amalekites (AM-uh-leck-ites) – people, animals, every living thing. Nothing shall be left.” The manual then instructs the teacher to tell students, “That was pretty clear, wasn’t it?” Stewart continues,

I highly doubt this is true. While I am aware that there are religious Christian zealots out there, a Christian institution wouldn't follow a scripture from the Old testament, since the New testament is basically about tearing down the teachings of the Old testament.

I hope this isn't true, if it is then I better prepare a bunker.

You'd think that.

carried out in public schoolroom classes after the school day has ended

The Good News Club is just that, a club. It meets after school.. hmm I think once a month, but I'm not sure. It's totally voluntary, our local school has one as well.   I'm pretty sure that most of the people who will go to this club meeting will be Christians. And I'm pretty sure most of these kids will have already heard about the Amalekites. And probably the annihilation of the Canaanites, and let us not forget the Midianites.  See? I haven't been to Sunday school in years but I can remember at least three.

This type of story reminds me of the blog where the woman talked about how hard it was to be so beautiful.   And then the assessment of that mess which was basically that the dailymail was trolling.  To me it seems like that is exactly what this , trolling.

I dunno, I only heard about it cause it was on the Today show (which I'll admit isn't really a news show) So I googled her xD
