Devotions at home, not school

The situation with violence in the schools is definitely getting so bad that some mothers are fretting as to whether to send their children to school until things improve. The foolishness at Oberlin High School with students falling over at devotion has not helped. It’s great to teach the children Christian morals but this can be done elsewhere.

Babies can’t be dying in July and he is not informed until late August. Someone is sleeping on the job.

Single mothers can’t manage.
