There could be no more clear an illustration of the double standard of liberals or their mouthpieces such as the ACLU that the horrible turn of events in Ohio this morning.

Chardon High School was the scene of terror. It was around 8:15 local time this morning, while students were preparing for their first classes of the day, many eating breakfast in the cafeteria, that a student with a gun opened fire inside the school.

We don’t know much yet but we do know the gunman fled and was caught off the school grounds. We know 5 students were wounded.

We now know that 1 has died of those injuries.

The students have been released to their parents.

We also know, via various reports from some students, that the gunman had, through social media, made threats over the weekend.

Here is something else we now know.

The Superintendent of Schools there has stated there will be a candlelight vigil, tomorrow evening, at a church across the street from the school.

Liberals, their mouthpieces, the ACLU…none of them will utter a word.

A candlelight vigil, for students, at a church.

Let a prayer be uttered at a high school graduation and all hell would break loose. Let a student athlete point to the heavens upon scoring a touchdown or hitting a homer, well, the student would be penalized and the fallout wouldn’t be pretty.

A school choir singing the praises of Allah is fine but let a school choir, even an extra curriculum choir sing of praising Jesus?

No way.

All those things are fair game to liberals, their mouthpieces and the ACLU.

Students, meeting in a church, to pray about the previously day’s tragic happenings?

That will be met with silence.

All of these things, relating to prayer or Christianity in schools should be met in the exact same manner.

Silence.

Liberals, their mouthpieces and the ACLU love to pipe up about separation of church and state. They love to sow the seeds of offense. If you PRAY…You will OFFEND those who don’t. You’ll OFFEND those who might hold a different belief OTHER than Christianity.

SOMEBODY will ALWAYS be offended…Won’t they?

In the wide world of what offends others in our nation’s schools, I can think of nothing MORE offensive than a student killed by a bullet fired from the gun of another student.

Instead of seizing the moment of a candlelight vigil for the students of Chardon High School, liberals, their mouthpieces and the ACLU will speak in favor of more gun control.

They will try to tell us that such things wouldn’t happen if we had more gun control in this country. They will try to convince us that the gun was more responsible for what happened than the student who pulled the trigger.

Speak out against the candlelight vigil?

No. They won’t do that…It would expose their double standard.

Instead, they will try to shift focus away from the gunman and onto the gun.

It’s how they operate.

Liberals will tell you that tomorrow night’s candlelight vigil is not mandatory and that those who wish not to participate can simply not attend, thus, no one is offended.

I submit that those in attendance at a graduation or a sporting event need not participate either if that be their choice.

Those who choose not to be submitted to such displays of prayer, music or displays of religion need not attend football games or choir performances.

Going to such events is no more mandatory than attending the candlelight vigil.

Those bent on carrying out extreme actions with a gun will find a gun with which to harm others regardless of gun control laws. The only people “controlled” by gun control laws are those who follow the laws.

When I was a kid, we had prayers at graduations. We had Christian songs at school choir performances. Members of our sports teams used to pray before and after games.

When I was a kid, we had guns too.

What we didn’t have, back then, was school shootings.

Is there a correlation between the two?

Who knows?

There is no real way to quantify it. No studies. No real world way to prove that allowed prayer in schools would have prevented what happened this morning in Ohio or would have prevented what happened at Columbine or in any of the other school shootings.

Rather than seeking such proof, ask this question;

Would prayer, or Christian songs at performances or events make anything worse?

Yes, I know that sometimes, church going folks kill people and I also know, there are plenty of folks who hold no religious beliefs at all who never kill people.

That’s not the point.

Liberals have spent a couple of generations protecting students from the possibility of being offended.

How’s THAT working for ya?

In nearly every case of a school shooting, the perpetrators have felt…offended. They feel that their rights have been violated because they were offended. They feel that those who offended them must pay. They feel those guilty of offending them must pay with their lives.

No, the shooters don’t always kill those who directly offended them in some way but, they feel because they have been, in their minds, offended, anybody in sight, is guilty.

In today’s tragic case, the shooter posted in various social media venues, his threats. He posted pictures of himself with a knife. He posted pictures of himself with 2 guns pointed directly at the camera.

He did not hold himself responsible for what he was planning to do, he held his classmates and/or his school responsible.

This is no different than the Columbine shooters.

Here’s something else. The parents of the Columbine shooters heard those two punks breaking glass in the garage for hours, the day before their rampage. They were building their bombs with it. The parents knew they had guns and had seen them in the boy’s rooms too. They did nothing. They weren’t involved in the day to day lives of their kids.

One has to wonder what might have happened if the parents of the kid in Ohio this morning had been a Facebook friend or Twitter follower of their son. If they were, why did they not see the posts or tweets? Why did they not see the pics?

Chances are, they weren’t involved in the day to day life of their kid either.

What we have, are kids who grow up in zero tolerance schools, who aren’t allowed to bring a plastic spork to school in their lunch and are protected at every turn from being offended and yet, today in Ohio, we have another school shooting.

Now, ask yourselves this question;

Compared to public schools, how many school shooting tragedies have there been at schools directly affiliated with churches?

Tomorrow evening, in a church across the street from the school, there will be a candlelight vigil and prayers will be said.

This is fine with liberals…As a response to an event.

Pray before such an event?

Well…That just might offend someone.
