Christian rapper B-SHOC brought his Christian message to a South Carolina school recently because the principal wants the children to know that there is eternal life and he is content offering himself up as a sacrificial lamb to save the kids.
The incomparable B-SHOC posing next to the New Heights Middle School mascot.
It sounds as if New Heights Middle School in Jefferson, South Carolina has a messiah complex to rival Jesus. When asked by a preacher how he was getting away with a Christian concert featuring rapper B-SHOC, the principle replied, “I’m not… I want these kids to know that eternal life is real, and I don’t care what happens to me, they’re going to hear it today.”
Spoken like a true believer.
B-SHOC and a Christian preacher Christian Chapman (convenient name) were brought to the assembly to tend to the impressionable flock in a brainwashing technique not dissimilar to the youth rallies of a certain German tyrant.
As the ACLU’s Daniel Bullard-Bates notes, B-SHOC’s musical output consists of songs such as “Jesus Lean‘,” “Crazy Bout God,” and “Christ-Like Cruisin.” B-SHOC’s clearly quite metaphysical in addition to hitting the youth demographic with his hip MC skills.
After the event, the organizers brashly posted a video of the First Amendment violation almost as a collective bras d’honneur to those who believe the constitutional separation of church and state is a rather good idea.
Aside from B-SHOC’s MC-ing and Chapman’s sermonizing, the event organizers also prayed with students before returning them to their respective classrooms.
The ACLU claims that it has learned other schools in the Chesterfield County School District might be planning similar events with B-SHOC, and has called on the District to launch an immediate investigation to the allegations. The ACLU also filed a Freedom of Information Act request regarding religious activities in the Chesterfield County School District.
One also feels bad for the kids being subjected to the eternal damnation of bad music.
Frightening stuff, folks. All of it.

You say like it’s no big deal that it’s OK for someone to use the power of government to convert your children to his personal religion. If the principal were using your taxes, a government platform, and his authority to convert children to any religion besides Christianity would you be sitting there making apologies? Islam? Wicca? Sol Invictus? Satanism?
Also you use “force” like it makes a difference. It’s a public school. The students have a right to attend any function they want to without being subjected to government endorsed religious indoctrination.

Want religion? Great! Go get it at your church or at home. Want taxpayer-funded education? Great! Go get it at public school. What is so hard about understanding the difference?
You say you weren’t “forced” to go, but as children (which you are) the Supreme Court understands that you do not always feel free to decide not to go to the rally that all the other kids are going to.
The principal, and any other official involved in this affair, should lose their jobs. Period.

It’s principal, not principle.
Also, required attendance or not, this principal should lose his job for flagrantly violation the Constitution. This rally should have never occurred. (BTW, it’s spelled liar. Typical product of our wonderful South Carolina public schools…)

(for the person below who spelled liars as “liers…” medicare is a government program, hence the stupidy of the aforementioned statement).

Ah yes, it’s so sad that these Christians are doing exactly what they are supposed to do isn’t it? Really now? Everyone loves Christians when they sit back doing nothing, but now we are doing what we have been called to do from the beginning. But it is written that the world will hate us for His name’s sake. I fully support this and wish I had been there doing the same thing. Maybe a few more would hear the truth.
