Hello everyone! TGIF! Yes or no? Well, we’re glad it’s Friday! Friday means several things: no school the next two days, a movie, and… LNF News!
BOY SCOUTS AND THE DECISION
The Southern Baptist Convention has added its voice in the cry against the Boy Scouts letting in openly gay members and leaders. Three months from now a 1,400 person committee will meet and discuss this and hopefully come to a decision. Almost 70% of the Boy Scout Troops are supported by religious parties, and most of these are against them letting gay members in. This would, if it passes, boot the scouts out of their meeting places, as most troops meet in churches. Don’t let it pass!!!
DO AS THEY SAY, NOT AS THEY DO
With all the recent gun violence, and pushes for gun control, celebrities have joined in an ad that presses us to ‘act now’ about gun violence and making our country safer. Meanwhile, the same celebrities are in violence-filled movies – that doesn’t exactly help! Most influence of violence doesn’t come from illegal selling of guns, or others around you – most of it comes from TV, and movies, and advertisements. Many of the celebrities don’t see the connection between violent movies and real-life violence. The connection is, violence is made to seem normal, ‘okay’ on-screen – people’s senses of right and wrong are influenced by what they watch.
Well, that’s all for now! Short, yes – sorry! Next week will be the LNF Newsletter, with world news and local news, along with comics and other fun stuff! Bye!
