Laryngitis

Our school district plans to implement the Safe-2-Tell program, which provides a safe, anonymous way to report information about a crime, potential dangerous situation or other concerns. It’s interesting that from early childhood kids are told not to be tattletales or snitch on one another and now we’re trying to get them to open up and talk freely to adults. I believe the church mirrors society in that we’ve been suppressed from talking about certain issues. Oh, we can voice our opinions about other denominations, abortion and homosexuality. We just can’t talk about divisions in the church, disorderly worship and false teachers…if it’s happening in our own congregation.

Gail;
-----I would like the safe-2-tell program if I could count on the term "crime" actually continuing to mean crime. But one of the favorite ploys of left wing regressive folks is to institute a reasonable program, then change the public perception of the terminology involved.
"Teacher, daddy has a gun at home."
"Yes, Lil; Johnny, that is a crime!"
