I can't believe this actually happened. Are Christians actually viewed as dangerous and capable of such acts? What are we coming to! :-o

School Alleges Christian Terrorists

In late March, the School District for Burlington Township High School in New Jersey conducted a mock hostage taking. Taking precautions over school violence is certainly important; however, this particular school district decided that in their mock hostage taking, the group that engaged in the terrorist activity was righact-wing religious fundamentalists.

The mock attack was carried out by police detectives portraying two angry Christian men, armed with handguns, who entered the school's front door with force, pretended to gun down students in the hallways, and then took ten students hostage while barricading themselves in the school's media center.

The mock gunmen were described as “members of a right-wing fundamentalist group called the 'New Crusaders' who don't believe in separation of church and state.” The mock-Christian terrorists “went to the school seeking justice because the daughter of one had been expelled for praying before class.”

Before the exercise, Superintendent Chris Manno said that they needed “to practice under conditions as real as possible…in order to evaluate our procedures and plans so that they're as effective as possible.” But Bob Pawson, a Trenton public school teacher, asked, “So what allegedly real condition was imagineered? … A grotesque scenario saturated with Christian-bashing prejudice and bigotry; a scenario which could never possibly occur.”

The Burlington County Times reported, “The purpose of the drill was to test the reactions of police, faculty and administration.” But Pawson responds, “This denigrating drill is also a test of the reactions and responses of New Jersey's Christians, along with all other fair-minded citizens of any faith, to such a blatant example of anti-Christian animosity . . . A public apology is in order. The citizens of Burlington County could rightly demand the resignation or termination of school officials who dreamed up and approved this reprehensible scenario.”

No other group in America would tolerate this kind of hostility. The School District’s mock hostage taking program targeting Christians as the perpetrators is outrageous.
