Students Protest Phelps

Protest

But when the Westboro group showed up Thursday afternoon at Shawnee Mission East High School in Prairie Village, hundreds of students and adults gathered on three corners to show their disdain for the church’s anti-gay message.

It's very refreshing to see young students protesting for what they believe in.

I cannot express, however, the disdain I hold for Phelps and his church. I can't take that they think it's appropriate to hold protests outside funerals and schools, no matter what the cause. What are they gaining by yelling at grieving family members and young students?

Fred Phelps is one of the few people that I can truly, truly say that if I ever had the chance, I would spit on his grave. The whole man makes me sick to my stomach, and so does his followers. I feel bad for his brainwashed children and grandchildren.

It has always amazed me how people who call themselves Christians, and believe in a loving God, can claim that events like 9/11 was caused by America itself, solely due to the fact that society is more accepting toward gays and lesbians.
