Hmmmm....well I haven't weighed in on any of this, so in case any of you were desperately wanting my opinions...

Lesbians at the prom? Who cares?

Homosexuality? I have bigger things to worry about then what goes on between two consenting adults in the privacy of their own homes. I say its between them and God (and that is my personal take on sex before marriage as well.)

As for the rest? It's always easy to see the right decision, when you are not the one that has to live it. It's between you and God, and it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks.

Now that I have fully alienated everyone, I will go back and hide in the corner

I can speak for my kids and I...we dont eat out often, dont have cable TV, my car was donated to me, and there are NO room for luxuries. I have the cheapest (dial up) internet access for my computer, donated, too, BTW.

So, after I pay rent, utilities, keep the van on the road, buy toiletries and eat..there is NO money to educate the kids. My church has a school, but they do NOT offer discounted tuition in that it costs beaucoup $$$ to run the school and it is already small and few resources. Then we are talking about N.O. post Katrina to boot.

I dont know if I read your comments the wrong way or what, but I thought they were inconsiderate. You will NEVER be a single mother, so how can you tell another single mom how to educate her kids?

Just because you pay 5 cents outta dollar to so called fund public schools...WOW!!! What an investment on your behalf????

I get SOOOO tired of hearing folks fussin about paying taxes for public schools when the amount of money that is actually coming outta your pocket is very minimal. Then u got the audacity to imply that single mothers arent budgeting their finances right so that's why they cant afford to homeschool their kids or send them to religious school! How ludicrous!!!

Word of advice, in defense of not only nahkoe, but EVERY single mother.

Keep your comments about your tax dollars funding public education to yourself.

Cuz I guarantee there are some lesbians or girls experimenting with their sexuality in MANY religious schools, too.

You say...."Not in my kids school...."

YES, YOUR KIDS SCHOOL, TOO!

Since when public schools became the problem? Since the church LET Madelyn O'Hare take prayer outta schools? Public schools used to be the schools church folks sent their kids back in the day.

The church used to be involved with their community schools. Now 30 years or so later we let the govt do what they do in there and you tellin me that only if u got $$$$ the bling then your kids deserve to be properly educated (or a better phrase is perhaps insulated) from mainstream society.

If u teach your kids what's right and what's wrong at home, it will go with them at school.

When we send kids off to college, we let them GO, right? And we trust God with them, right?

So u trying to tell me the SAME God can't keep our babies?

The devil is a LIAR!!!!!

God hasnt left single mothers. My kids and I are living testimonies of that, Boo!

TO all the single moms out there....

KEEP YA HEAD UP! GOD GOT OUR BACKS!!!!!!
Good post! I happen to know of an Apostolic Christian school where the kids were smoking pot, drinking, and other lewd and ungodly acts. I'm not against christian education, I think we are just deceiving ourselves if we think that our kids are going to escape every ungodly situation.

Would you not be Christian enough to do it if the government didn't "force" you to?

Exactly, like the Christian school that I went to as a kid, where my friend had to miss a day of school so she could sneak off and get an abortion. Or my other friends told stories of sneaking out the window at night to go party with their boyfriends.

And before somebody says to get an education, explain how a woman with a child is supposed to do that without excepting some assistance.
Good points.

Actually, nahkoe is doing a pretty good job going to school and supporting her kids from what I know about her.

I just wish that peole would get real!
