The chorus vocals for the Larry Boy sequel were performed by the men’s chorus at my Alma mater, Luther College, which is one of the top choral schools in the U.S.

Veggie tales doesn’t fuck around.

Please listen to this sax solo that came from the goddamn veggietales larryboy soundtrack

Catholic Cultural Criticism

Have you noticed how society just isn't Catholic anymore? Nobody takes the authority of the Church seriously or internalizes any of our morals! You know where it all went wrong? When people abandoned Catholicism. What is the solution? Why you'll never guess--

Like I said amy schumer is weird as hell. Bernice king had to get her together for using her father’s name to justify her Zionist ways. Also stop using mlk word to do your dirty work if you wanna say something use your own words say it with your whole chest and stop hiding behind someone else’s words.

Thought For the Day: If We Are Not Careful, Our Colleges Will Produce A Group of Close-Minded, Unscientific, Illogical Propagandists Consumed With Immoral Acts. Be Careful Brethren! Be Careful Teachers!

“If we are not careful, our colleges will produce a group of close-minded, unscientific, illogical propagandists, consumed with immoral acts. Be careful, ‘brethren!’ Be careful, teachers!” – Martin Luther King, Jr., in “The Purpose of Education,” The Maroon Tiger, 1947

Protests, Rallies, Sit-Ins, Marches and Disruptions are all Hallmarks of US History, often preceding the waves of change witnessed in the country. And just as much a part of that history is those same events being met with, condemnation, anger, calls to desist, and oftentimes, the use of law enforcement to make that happen.

Pro-Palestine Encampments have sprung up across US universities over the past few weeks, and even spread worldwide, demanding institutions cut ties, economic or otherwise, with Israel and companies that support the brutal war on Gaza.

"Dissent is essential for democracy. But dissent must never lead to disorder," President Genocidal Joe Biden and Scrotums Licker of the Zionist 🐖 🐷 🐖 🐗 said regarding the college protests, summing up the enduring national paradox. But disorder and disruptions are the very tools that have historically catalysed political change in American society, even if they were portrayed in a radicalised light such as The Civil Rights Movement.

"Media covers Dr. Martin Luther King Junior with a lot of love and reverence. But we know: Back then, he was presented in the media as this anarchist disruptor," Celeste Faison, Movement for Black Lives co-national director says. "At the end of the day, we have a really bad pattern of defaming protesters when they're in the fight, and then celebrating protesters when they get the win or after they take the risk."

So far, victories have been declared at Brown University, Northwestern University and the University of Minnesota due to the protests. All three colleges have agreed to reconsider ties to Israel in exchange for the activists removing the encampments. At Evergreen State College, administrators agreed to publicly call for a ceasefire in Gaza, and explore divestment from companies that profit from "the occupation of Palestinian territories."

Charles McKinney, a Professor at Rhodes College, says it is an "Ideological Appropriation" When People Who Were Considered Radical or Crazy at the Time of Their Protests are Later Considered "on the Right Side of History." It reinforces the idea that the power of protest isn't necessarily in convincing people in the present, but in impacting the conversations in the culture.

Have you read Anne Frank's Diary? Here's how you can now get involved!

I had a fantastic time at The Anne Frank Trust UK's national conference in Manchester, which took place on Thursday 14th March. They had some incredible speaker's and all of the subjects were highly relevant to what is taking place in modern day Britain.

It's incredible that in 2023, annefrank.org.uk worked with over 119, 311 young people in schools across Britain, with 92.3% of those young people making significant progress in their understanding of prejudice.

After seeing the work that was put into the conference and witnessing some of the positive impacts the Trust is making across Britain, I really hope that friends with an interest in history, will visit the AFT website and get involved!

Jemar Tisby shared this gem from 1968.

BJU Class of 1950 graduate Tim LaHaye took up umbrage at Wheaton College's honoring Martin Luther King's memory.

Dr. Hudson T. Armerding, President

Wheaton College

Wheaton, Illinois

Dear Sir:

Recently this report came into my hands and I find it very difficult to believe. It seems incredible that a Christian college could participate in honoring an out-right theological liberal heretic whose "non-violent" demonstrations have resulted in the deaths of seventeen people.

As a pastor, I am asked every year by parents and prospective students to express my sentiments of Wheaton College. In all fairness, I would like to know if this article accurately describes the fact. I honestly will be quite delighted if you can say no."

Sincerely yours,

Tim F. LaHaye

Pastor

You see how this BJU grad plainly conflates ecclesiastical separation with racial segregation?

This is Bob Jones University.

Bruce: Attention, please. I understand a majority of you had plans this weekend. I want to be considerate of your time, so I'll make this brief. Lex Luther has hired a boy to seduce Wayne Enterprise secrets out of Tim. I need you to be weary at the gala. Dismiss.

Tim: Hold on hold on. I'm going to need a LOT more information than just that.

Bruce: I said dismissed Tim. Your siblings have plans.

Dick: *Raises a hand*

Bruce: Yes?

Dick: I can tell this approach is from the parenting books Uncle Clark got you, which is great. Thank you for trying, but we really need more details B. You can be considerate of our time by properly using it.

Bruce: hmmmm. Alright, if everyone feels this way. I suppose I can explain

Batkids: *Nodding*

Bruce clicking on the computer to show a picture: This is Daniel Fenton. His family used to own Fenton Works until the unfortunate loss of Mrs. Madeline Fenton in a car accident. Mr. Jack Fenton was convinced a ghost killed his wife. He was arrested after he crossed state borders chasing it and went on a rampage in downtown Gotham. He was deemed mad with grief and has been in Arkham for the last four years. Neither Jasmine nor Daniel were able to keep the family business afloat and were eventually bought out by Luthor.

Steph: I remember Mr. Fenton. He made that weird ray that was just throwing green goo on people. Besides scarying a few civilians, he didn't do anything bad. No one was harmed.

Bruce: That was the Fenton children argument as well. They were unable to get Mr. Fenton out of Arkham and into a different institution. I fear corruption is at play. During his stay in Arkham Mr.Fenton, has continued to create inventions, though no patent has been filed. All funds from said inventions are being made by local Mafia families instead.

Jason: Those thieves are preying on a grieving man. Rumors has it, Mr. Fenton isn't even aware his wife is dead. His mind blocked it, but he's slowly deteriorating. They're trying to squeeze out every drop of cash they can from him before his mind is completely gone.

Bruce: Exactly, and his children know it. Recently, Clark overheard Luthor offer Daniel a deal. He steals Wayne Enterprise secrets from Tim - probably got the idea after reading the article of Tim coming out, no doubt - and Luthor pulls enough strings to get Mr. Fenton out.

Tim: That's horrible. Is there any way we can help the Fentons instead? Move Mr. Fenton to a different place?

Bruce: I'm working it, but I believe Luthor is blocking my attempts. He did the same to Miss Fenton's college and loan applications. The pair are in a finical crisis that does not seem to get better no matter what they do. Luthor has employed similar tactics before.

Damian: Thus trapping the Fenton siblings in a box, unable to defy Luthor. They may be so desperate they would agree to anything after this many hardships.

Bruce: Exactly.

Tim: Alright I'll sleep with him

Cass: Literally, no one said you needed to sleep with him.

Tim: It's will be tough but I'll take one for the team.

Duke: Tim, that's not what B is saying at all.

Bruce: Wait, wait. I think Tim wants to sleep with Daniel Fenton. Hold on, let me consult the experts *opens parenting book*

Bruce: This isn't covered in the book. I don't know what to do.

Dick: I do. Tim, you're not sleeping with Daniel Fenton, but you are going to pretend his seduction is working. We're going to stop Luthor and the Mafia families controlling Arkham. We need to buy time to do that.

Tim: Kisses and over clothes stuff only. Got it.

Damian: Life has been hard for you since Dowd left you, hasn't it Drake?
