I believe in the separation of church and hate.
Some things you must always be unable to bear… Some things you must never stop refusing to bear. Injustice and outrage and dishonor and shame. No matter how young you are or how old you have got. Not for kudos and not for cash; your picture in the paper nor money in the bank either. Just refuse to bear them.

Dads, the second you see your son dropping the limp wrist, you walk over there and crack that wrist. Man up. Give him a good punch. Ok? You are not going to act like that. You were made by God to be a male and you are going to be a male. And when your daughter starts acting too Butch you rein her in. And you say, “Oh, no, sweetheart. You can play sports. Play them to the glory of God. But sometimes you are going to act like a girl and walk like a girl and talk like a girl and smell like a girl and that means you are going to be beautiful. You are going to be attractive. You are going to dress yourself up.

The rating on the documentary “Bully” has been changed to PG-13! Success!!!

This high school took anti-bullying campaigns to a whole new level!
The entire student body at Cypress Ranch High School in Texas (in the same district that Asher Brown went to school) participated in the lip dub of a song written and performed by one of their classmates.
They did this as part of a contest for an anti-bullying video, and you can vote for them here: http://nobull.votigo.com/contests/showentry/1042123?v=50
