Hrm.
I love my school. What? Yeah, I think it’s great.
I go to a private Christian high school in California. It is has a prominent conservative bias. It teaches Christian doctrine, ethics, and morals. Some of it’s students are hypocritical. But seriously, guys, it’s only some.
For the most part I have had the privilege of knowing honest, hard-working, kind, open-minded, and loving students at this school. I owe a good portion of my strong foundation in my faith to my friends here. In addition, my passion and love for people themselves has had it’s origin on our campus. Perhaps I have been lucky to know, from what I hear from my fellow classmates is, the “minority of decent people” at this school, but I honestly find that hard to believe. I am a reasonably outgoing person. I know a lot of people here. I think the honest truth is that my fellows are simply pessimistic. What they see as ignorance, dishonesty, hypocrisy, and, to be frank, blantant sin is simply high school students being high school students — young, naive, and inexperienced. I don’t know if we can necessarily blame a high school student for being who they, in reality, actually are. That’s rather unfair, wouldn’t you say? I can understand being frustrated and annoyed upon occasion. But rather than complain about a group of young people who are understandably immature, let’s try and set an example by first: not complaining so very often, second: acting mature in their stead, third: taking a reality check and realizing that the “majority” of our student population is not made up of hypocrites, and lastly: giving them a bit of grace, as Jesus has no doubt done for us multiple times.
Sound fair?
