I also believe we need gun control, and do believe it will prevent many of these from happening again, but she should be taken to task a little for this:

Don’t cut yourself on all that edge

Never was power “turned ovee to the church”. Our nation was specifically founded upon Catholicism and Christianity. Sorry, it’s been that way since this colony was founded. If anything, the church has LOST power, else gays would still be executed for sodomy and the like.

“We turned over so much power to religious groups the government”

Your comments don’t make sense. The church upholds Scripture, makes it clear in the teacher’s contract. Why should she expect to keep her job? SHE is the one who broke the contract.

So they can have representation in government? You know, that whole “No taxation without representation” thing that the United States was founded upon?

Mrs Morales is exercising the Catholic Church’s 1st Amendment right to make its own decisions on who works for the Church. The teacher didn’t abide by her contract and now everyone is supposed to forget that she kicks her dog every day and feel sorry for her kicking her dog?

Amazing how little you know, yet you speak so authoritatively. Classic American.

No constitutional right is being infringed here.

So, your definition of shitty is that a Church upholds a different standard of morals than you do? You realize that this is precisely the reason the first Amendment exists, to prevent the state from interfering in how a Church handles its internal affairs. It’s not like the Church has changed its definition of what…

No, that’s not how it goes. They fired her because she is a Catholic who didn’t get married according to the rites of the Catholic Church. If she was straight and got married in Vegas the same rules would apply.

I thought the consensus around here was that an employer doesn’t owe you a job, and it’s ok if they get rid of people whenever they want.

uh...I don’t think that’s how the constitution works.

I’ve always been intrigued by LGB people who are out and pursue employment with, say, a Catholic school or any kind of religious entity.

Guys. The “Pence is secretly gay” schtick is literally the lowest hanging fruit. There’s already like 5 comments making the exact same joke. Try harder.

This isn’t even relevant. That is a different country who is our enemy at the moment. This sounds like it was written in North Korea by the dictator himself. There is no connection whatsoever. If you’re going to criticize the White House, go ahead because you won’t lack material, but please don’t write junk like this…

I agree that this isn’t the year, but we can’t whitewash him out of the history of video games. I know it’s hard to have nuanced discussions about these things, but we can’t really have a society where everyone is judged by the worst thing they have ever done. People are good and bad, people learn, people make…

someone learning about government and politics by Palo Alto teacher Gregory Salcido?

Except an Ep-3 couldn’t out maneuver any jet even if it wanted to. It is a large heavy propeller driven aircraft who mission is reconnaissance not banking at the speeds a fighter jet American or Russian are able to achieve.  

Stupid comment is stupid.

I ordered 9 things on amazon this weekend and i hope my city wins the amazon 2nd HQ. The biggest employer here pays no local property tax and was incentivized to build here. Then it brought 20k professional jobs to the area. This town has gone through a massive boom because of them and its a great city.
