Mostly unrelated-to-anything post. Everyone reads Dooce, right? The picture below is from this post. There are many more references in the link and ordinarily this would’ve been on weekend linky but I missed the last and couldn’t wait for the next. (And am still trying to follow as much as I can from the train in her post.)
I cannot do, to the nth degree and beyond, what Heather Armstrong can, so I won’t say too much… The bed above is from an Aftercare, where they offer safe refuge to kids who have been sexually exploited or trafficked.
Ms Armstrong blogs, “……I got an itch that just had to be scratched and asked if they required the children in their home to study Christianity.”
The response she got was:
“We are here for one reason: freedom. Freedom.” He held up his index finger to emphasize this. “These kids… before they came to live in the home, they had none. If we forced any of them to study a certain religion we’d be taking it away from them again, and we just will not do that………….”
Ms Armstrong btw, is atheist.
