No, Reverend. A Guy Cannot Make A Mistake.


Reverend Patrick Sullivan, of Frankfort Kansas, asked me, during a conversation about the incident that took place at Frankfort High School, involving a guidance counselor who dropped my fourteen year old daughter off by herself, four miles south of town and forgot about her, if a guy could "just make a mistake". Sullivan wanted to defend the school, the unlawful practice of enforcing Christian beliefs at the school, and the guidance counselor and all those who have enabled him over the years. He was unwilling to countenance the glaring fact that Frankfort High School should be in receivership because of the lack of compliance of it's faculty to state and federal law, and also did not want admit that the Catholic principal, one of his financially contributing "sheep", would be so wrong about something, while a Pagan parent of non-Christian background would be so right about the same matter. Dean Dalinghaus, principal of Frankfort High School, felt that Tom Schroeder was in the right to leave a child alongside a roadway during the school day, unbeknownst to her parents, and allow her to be officially "missing" all afternoon and part of the evening. So he asked me, "Can't a guy make a mistake?"

Tom Schroeder may make a mistake by choosing the wrong color to paint his bathroom. He can mix up his students' names, or oversleep. Those are commonplace "mistakes". But a mistake that contributes to human trafficking, murder, and missing persons statistics in inexcusable. As a neighbor in Frankfort put it, "Sure, they care about children, just not yours!" While this neighbor is absolutely right, how would the school, and consequently every Frankfurter's child, have been affected by a lawsuit, in the event that my child had not been found? Such a tragedy, caused by such a "mistake", also has the ability to attract unwanted attention from other authorities. Suppose operating a school in Frankfort became too expensive because of Tom Schroeder's "mistakes"? But what is all that, compared to a child's safety and a parent's heartbreak? To Reverend Sullivan, who represents Jesus Christ at the Annunciation Catholic Church in Frankfort, my child and my love for her do not mean anything. As for me, I would rather see Frankfort's school close down than see it pose any more danger to any of my children.

One more reminder about Catholic priests everywhere: they have a reputation for inappropriate relations with children of all ages. I should not have been surprised that a Catholic priest would be so callous about child safety: children who are dropped off by teachers in unfamiliar surroundings are extremely vulnerable. Catholic clergy seems to favor vulnerable children for sinister reasons. Almost one third of stranger abductions in this country involve children who disappeared from school, or school sponsored activities. Why would a christian minister of any kind want a parent to overlook the mistakes of a man whose "mistakes" contribute to this national problem and is never held accountable? No, Pat. A guy cannot make a "mistake" if it makes a statistic out of my child.
