You make some valid points, I would suggest you identify yourself and
work at making changes by joining the chapel committee where you could
have an impact.

I Love How He Treats Me As Some Sort Of Psyco-Terrorist, Who Is On The Edge, And About To Take Some Seriously Irrational Measures…
Then… Lew… All I’ve Got To Say Is “What The Junk?”

Hi Concerned People
I think I should respond since I’m brought up in the letter(s).
So …….. thanks! I’m glad you’re talking. That’s your right.
It’s hard to respond, though, since I don’t know who you are. Why?
Generally, I simply want to say, “Thanks for talking” - good to hear
from you.
Regarding the truck - not really a joke, I guess. Trucks do run over
people and they do die. Matthew 25 says there’s eternal accountability.
And so ..?
peace

Trucks Do Run Over People, And They Do Die?… I Have Lost Any Shred Of Respect I Still Had For Him…
So… That Is The Sad News From My Street… Though I Am Still Planning On Taking This Up Personally With Kuips.
I’m Sincerely Dissapointed That So Few People Have Responded; And That Those Who Have Responded Have Put Such A Seemingly Small Amount Of Effort Into The Responses…
from what i hear of pegmen from people, which is nothing positive, his response doesnt surprise me.
however, lew’s is quite interesting, there is no attempt at any sort of remorse or apology now that he knows alot of people took what he said the wrong way, its sort of like he’s saying “well its the truth so just deal with it” it would have been nice to hear that but perhaps with a “im sorry if it offended you and others” comment tacked onto it, i didnt think thatd be asking to much, but i guess it is. nobody sais this would be easy, change isnt a welcome thing, and we’re bound to get a few responses on this that we arnt gonna like, but hopefully the right ones will come along, im with you all the way here, you know where to go if you need support no matter what, this is a battle that must be fought. As for approaching kuips, his response will be the most interesting i think, because he above all else can change any of this. the question is, will he, and more importantly, will his superiors let him, i can only wonder what the administration is doing with this, its weird to think of meetings called over this email, but its very possible. this has been ignored for so long. as much as i hate standing on the sidelines it feels like i am, if you need any help in this you know where to turn. esspecially when you talk to kuips, id like to be there for that.
This time, I’ll Fight.
this has gone on long enough, as chapel has become what seems like
A creation born of ignorance
We just need to keep searching where
behind the darkness = the door to the light.
but one question still remains, this administration, this giant we face, where to begin, tihs is a good start, but when it comes to teachers and staff
can we do it? against that?
and when we arrive, then what.
Is this the answer you’ve been looking for
will it be a question we must ask when we have truly “solved” this “problem”
no matter what, we’re not alone, and we musnt forget that, there are others who know of this and are with us, weather they make their presence known or not.
We’ll go together
Thinking of you, wherever you are
we pray for our sorrows to end, and hope that our hearts to blend.
Now I will step forward to realize this wish.
And who knows: starting a new journey may not be so hard or maybe it’s already begun.
there are many worlds, but they share the same sky-
one sky, one destiny
i must say, i am very dissapointed with our teachers. are they illiterate or something? Do they not realize the severity of this problem? How can they blow it off with such ease? It baffles my poor mind.
i love you nate! Keep fighting!

yah wow…all i have to say is it doesn’t seem like they’re taking it seriously enough..which ironically is the point…that they aren’t…when in reality it’s a big issue…i’ll do what i can to help! i heart you. ~er
grr. let’s hope the lack of other responses means they rest of them are still turning it over and over in their minds…
Lew is right… it may have come across as morbid, but it’s true…it just was very honest and was the whole truth–I think it’s good to feel uncomfortable like that… because that’s what makes us think
