Wonder why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the people that posted has the nail on the head \u2026\u2026 (We only corrected spelling, not the context)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Written by Jay:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let see where I will start with all of these comments. First rather than jumping on any ban wagon I STRONGLY urge ALL to investigate the facts as I have done after reading this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"244\" height=\"270\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/BLM-1-1.png?resize=244%2C270&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8435\"\/><figcaption>Collins at BLM rally in Lakeland<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1. Is Karla Collins the headmaster of a private \u201cChristian\u201d school protesting for BLM? ANSWERS IS \u2013 YES<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2. Who is BLM? ANSWES IS: BLM is a racial, NON Christian radical anti-government organization. From their own site: We affirm the lives of Black queer and trans folks, disabled folks, undocumented folks, folks with records, women, and all Black lives along the gender spectrum. Our network centers those who have been marginalized within Black liberation movements. This does not sound like Christian values to me?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3. Christian school headmaster should have more sense than to participate in such a protest. This shows poor judgment which I would not want passed into my children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"293\" height=\"126\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/binden-sign.png?resize=293%2C126&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8436\"\/><figcaption>Biden Sign in Collins Yard<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">4. Is Karla Collins showing her support for a Democrat president? Answer is: YES according to the political sign displayed in the front yard of her home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">5. YES PEOPLE, political affiliations have every bit to do with biblical principles. If you do not have a Bible I am happy to send you one to read from Genesis to Revelations. You are to vote according the candidate who \u201cMost\u201d aligns themselves with biblical principles. I\u2019m sorry Radical Joe Biden, Kamela heals in the air Harris does NOT! They are both STRONG OUTSPOKEN advocates for abortion, closing churches, closing private and charter schools. So with this said, ALL FACTUAL PUBLIC INFORMATION. These principles are NOT of God, therefore NO employee or leader in a church or private Christian school should support any of the above, of they do they MUST be terminated. It is an oxymoron to think you can be a Democrat and a Christian. So it 100% matters who and how you vote when in this type of position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">6. If the information in this article is not true or mostly FACTUAL, why wouldn\u2019t Karla Collins speak out? Why hasn\u2019t the Church leader spoken out? Is this her twin in the photos? Does she not resides in the home with her name and address with the Biden\/Harris political sign in the front yard?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Karla-Collins.jpg?resize=265%2C265&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8437\" width=\"265\" height=\"265\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Karla-Collins.jpg?w=300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Karla-Collins.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Karla-Collins.jpg?resize=250%2C250&amp;ssl=1 250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 265px) 100vw, 265px\" \/><figcaption>Karla Collins<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">7. Being a Christian school all classes should be based on Godly principles and values. American government class \/ economics study where students had produced a work sheet for building a new home. NO where on the sheet did they ever mention tithes or giving which is Christian economics 101. Tithing and giving is the 1st thing I\u2019ve taught my children at a very young age. Why is it that this information provided by the teacher whom is under Karla Collins was nowhere to be found?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">God\u2019s word is very clear, so please do not attempt to take it out of context or twist it to suit your agendas, life style or beliefs. NO child or parent should believe they are doing the best for a Christian education only to be fooled by a false leader. WAKE UP, take your heads out of your backside and dig into God\u2019s word, live out God\u2019s word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In closing I have investigated the initial letter myself and find the information to be most accurate according to the facts. Most of who were obtained directly from social media of Karla Collins, photos of her and her home. Christianity and Christian education is not about a buddy system as displayed here from her friends or students blinded by her bearing of false witness. God will deal with her and each one of us accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Again I strongly urge all of you not to engage your mouths or fingers typing until you have discovered the facts. Remember that lions can be kind as well before they devour you up. Wolfs in sheep\u2019s clothing.<br \/>\u201cALL lives matter\u201d is what we should be teaching. By the way I come from a diverse background and family of multiple mixed races. That does not define who I am, son of the most high, Jesus Christ is who I am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Support and know our constitution as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Written by a former VCA teacher,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a former VCA teacher, who no longer lives in the area, I have to agree with this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Exec-Pastor-McBride.png?resize=221%2C221&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8439\" width=\"221\" height=\"221\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Exec-Pastor-McBride.png?w=300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Exec-Pastor-McBride.png?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Exec-Pastor-McBride.png?resize=250%2C250&amp;ssl=1 250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 221px) 100vw, 221px\" \/><figcaption>Exec Pastor Dan McBride<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Her first day as Headmaster I was told never to involve the pastors with any matters at the school; especially Pastor Dan, because she didn\u2019t need him in her business. She runs the school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That was my first red flag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second red flag was the name-calling of certain families and the gossiping in the office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The third red flag was being reprimanded in front of a student and parent when I was not in the wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I know how evil Karla Collins can be if you do not agree with her and her liberal views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;I stayed in my room, like the other teachers so that we didn\u2019t have any interaction with her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I didn\u2019t go to the pastors because I needed a recommendation for my future endeavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am speaking out because the bible states that the darkness is exposed by the light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Editorial comment: It\u2019s time for the church to investigate Karla Collins before it\u2019s too late.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After receiving letter to the editor publishing on Oct 22, 2020 which generated over 1700 views and 31 comments https:\/\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/2020\/10\/22\/letter-to-editor-victory-christian-academy-headmaster-is-a-socialist\/ \u00a0we still have questions?
