Clint McCance Gay Suicide Remarks Sparks Christian Outrage! Cyber Bullying By Board Member
Even the most conservative of Christians are trying to distance themself from the remarks of Midland School District Board Member Clint McCance.
Online, October 28, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Even the most conservative of Christians are trying to distance themself from the remarks of Midland School District Board Member Clint McCance. It appears Mr. McCance has a very strong issue with Gay Students and it has ignited a firestorm of controversy due to his recent posting on Facebook.
In his own words -
"Seriously they want me to wear purple because five queers killed themselves. The only way im wearin it for them is if they all commit suicide. I cant believe the people of this world have gotten this stupid. We are honoring the fact that they sinned and killed thereselves because of their sin. REALLY PEOPLE."
In reaction to criticism to his post from someone within the same thread McCance replied.
"No because being a fag doesn't give you the right to ruin the rest of our lives. If you get easily offended by being called a fag then don't tell anyone you are a fag. Keep that shit to yourself. I don't care how people decide to live their lives. They don't bother me if they keep it to thereselves. It pisses me off though that we make a special purple fag day for them. I like that fags cant procreate. I also enjoy the fact that they often give each other aids and die. If you arent against it, you might as well be for it."
"I would disown my kids they were gay. They will not be welcome at my home or in my vicinity. I will absolutely run them off. Of course my kids will know better. My kids will have solid christian beliefs. See it infects everyone."
The Preacher Bureau of Investigation ( www.PimpPreacher.com) released a statement condemning Clint McCance's comments as nothing more than hate rhetoric which is not based in Christianity.
"Clint McCance comments are nothing more than Christian Conservative Preaching gone wrong. It is this type of speech that has resulted in the bullying epidemic that so many school officials are trying to defeat. How can the Arkansas Department of Education take a stand on school bullying when one of the own Board members is now a self proclaimed cyber bully."
"I strongly condemn the statements that appeared on Mr. Clint McCance's Facebook page," Tom Kimbrell, Arkansas commissioner of education, said in a statement Wednesday. "... The statements attributed to Mr. McCance constitute a significant departure from statements we expect from our school leaders. The divisiveness and disruption of these comments cause me to seriously question the ability of Mr. McCance to remain as an effective member of the Midland School Board."
Clint McCance wall postings on Facebook has given birth to anti-hate protest sits as well as sites calling on the Arkansas commissioner of education to fire McCance immediately.
Michael Cinquanti a random visitor to the protest site on Facebook may have said it best in his wall post.
"I don't recall Christ ever coming out in support of bullying anyone, or being happy they committed suicide. The sermon on the mount seems kinda more Christian than hate speech. Maybe McCance should read it? Christian indeed. Where is the love? "
A spokesperson for the Preacher Bureau of Investigations says that it is this type of religious hate spawned from the pulpit of Christian Conservative preachers that add to the difficulty of combating bullying in schools across this country.
