Milwaukee Lutheran High School said Black Lives Matter group’s beliefs ‘do not align with biblical views’; parents urged to pull kids
When will LCMSers learn that trying to play the middle between incompatible positions is the worst way forward? It is good that MLS rejected the anti-Christian BLM organization. But to try and make a neat and tidy distinction between the organization and "movement" convinces no one. MLS should just admit that to support a mural full of socialist/communist and black power imagery was really dumb and gave a horrible witness. Maybe another good thing to reflect upon would be how perhaps taking all that government money to educate kids, many of whom are obviously not there to learn the faith, was a short-sighted plan. Also, if this is how many of the alumni of the institution are behaving–like raving Marxists–how much Lutheranism is actually being taught at the school? https://www.jsonline.com/story/news/education/2020/08/05/milwaukee-lutheran-high-school-ignites-firestorm-blm-opposition/3298974001/
