Imagine your children going to a Private Christian School only to find out it is being run by a Headmaster who believes in abortion, believes in defunding the police, believes in climate change & science over God, and is a participant of protests against our sitting United States President!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on the information in this article, it is a fair assessment that Karla Collins, Headmaster at VCA, supports all of the above.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

On May 31, Karla Collins photos were all over social media as she and her family marched at the BLM rally in Lakeland, wearing her VCA visor while marching with the Victory logo on her sign stating that ‘MY BLACK STUDENTS LIVES MATTER’. Even the football coach at VCA, Coach Kendrick Stewart, approved.\u00a0 We know that BLM goes against EVERYTHING that VCA believes in and stands for.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BLM states on their website that they are pro-abortion with ‘OPERATION SCALE UP THAT WILL TRANSFORM ABORTION FUNDING’. They believe that ‘Roe V Wade has never been enough’. BLM wants to defund the police because they dehumanize black lives. BLM affirms the lives of ‘black queer and trans folk, disabled, and undocumented folks.’ This is all noted on their website blacklivesmatter.com<\/a> and abortionfunds.org<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Christian School, VCA, believes in PROLIFE, heterosexual marriage (marriage between one man & one woman), and they support the police departments with respect, and the US Constitution. VCA is not to look at the color of a child’s skin, and each child should be respected and treated equally. We are all created in the image of God. They believe that there are 2 genders, male and female. There is no other gender and no changing genders. They believe that the Bible is the infallible, authoritative word of God. Stated on vcaonline.org<\/a> and ag.org<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Karla Collins has brought racial division and inequality into this ‘Christian’ School. She has brought chaos, stress, tension, and confusion into the school, individual classrooms, and student relationships. She does NOT treat the students fairly.  She is racist and favors the black students over the white students. Favoritism shows with the rules of dress code that is obvious with hairstyle, dress, and conduct. The rules apply to some and not all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The VCA website states that if any administrator fails to report misconduct which affects the health, safety, or welfare of a student that they can be TERMINATED.  Karla Collins must be TERMINATED! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her Facebook page has an inappropriate picture with little boys\u2019 underwear and little girls\u2019 underwear with masks.  She is the HEADMASTER over CHILDREN at a CHRISTIAN SCHOOL! This is completely inappropriate.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Her Facebook page has a picture of her and her husband at Senor Frogs after they had fajitas on a cruise vacation. Senor Frogs is the BIGGEST PARTY BAR THAT SERVES ALCOHOL AND PLAYS THE LOUDEST SECULAR MUSIC and is entirely INAPPROPRIATE for a ‘Christian’ Headmaster to go into. This is hypocritical to what the school stands for. Alcohol is not allowed by any staff member at VCA or Victory Church.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also on her Facebook page, there is a post on Oct 6 from ‘March for Science’ about masks. ‘MARCH FOR SCIENCE’ believes in the Green New Deal, Science is the truth, believe that herd immunity will result in more deaths, and they support the protests against Donald J. Trump. This is on marchforscience.org<\/a>, wikipedia.org<\/a> and their own Facebook page. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to ‘March For Science ‘, Victory Christian Academy does not believe in climate change and science. The Assemblies of God which VCA is a part of believes in ‘The Doctrine of Creation’ as stated on their website ag.org<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Karla Collins has brought her liberal views into VCA and the school should just be called ‘Victory Academy’ because there are ZERO CHRISTIAN VIEWS in this school today. They do not have the Pledge to the Christian Flag, nor do they have morning prayer during announcements. The Christian curriculum has slowly been taken out of some of the classrooms, and some teachers have stopped praying in their individual classrooms.  In one of the Economic classes, tithing wasn’t a topic because a Christian curriculum isn’t being used! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Karla Collins wants to mask up the school and not listen to the Governor of Florida who stated that we are in PHASE 3 and masks are not mandatory stated Sept 27th. State guidelines do NOT require students to wear masks at school and this was stated September 14, 2020. The attorneys for the City of Lakeland said that the mask mandate has expired, as of October 5th, due to the Governor’s EXECUTIVE ORDER AND PHASE 3 OPENING GUIDELINES.  Masks can be encouraged but NOT MANDATED. This came from the City of Lakeland’s Mayors Office. The article from LKLDNOW stated that ‘the city has relied on SOCIAL PRESSURE FOR COMPLIANCE….’ Karla Collins is doing the same with the students and families at VCA! She is using liberal social pressure on the families and students when it is NOT a law and it is NOT mandatory! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Karla Collins is a proud supporter of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris who believes in everything that Karla believes, and everything that the Christian School and Church is against.  Karla Collins lives in a gated community and thought that no one would ever be in her upscale neighborhood.  Well, someone was visiting her neighborhood and saw her house with a Biden 2020 sign in the front yard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s fine to vote ….. but when you vote against EVERYTHING that the Christian School and Church are founded on and believes, and you are employed by the Christian School and you do not believe in the same…..IT’S TIME FOR HER TO FIND NEW EMPLOYMENT IMMEDIATELY BECAUSE HER LIBERAL AND SOCIALIST VIEWS ARE NOT WELCOMED AT VCA! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parents are paying a high tuition for a ‘Christian’ education at VCA, but sadly the education and values are that of a government run school.  VCA has become an extremely poor representation since the employment of Karla Collins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a CHRISTIAN SCHOOL and CHURCH of longstanding ties to this community, I am strongly urging for the community and parents to take a stand by REQUESTING THE TERMINATION OF VCA HEADMASTER, KARLA COLLINS<\/p>\n\n\n\n
