  1. I feel Jack has received a fair sentence. I am not a memeber of the church. My husband and I visited once and was told by Jack, that we would be going to he** becasue of our interracial marriage. Needless to say we never went back . To bad Jack didn't feel as strongly against molesting children as he does interracial marriages

  2. I find it very very sad that so many of the members of this church still back him. I can understand praying for him and his family, but standing behind him and wanting him free......thats just goes to show how brain washed tehy areally are. And if anyone has any doubts as to if this man is perverted, please go to You Tube and search for the video "Jack Schaap polisghed shaft" this is a piece of a sermon that was preached in front of youth members. I can't believe no one got up and stopped him, he was clearly getting his kicks out of this. This is one sick sick individual.

  3. I can speak from experience that some of the teachers at these carter schools are not qualified. We had teachers giving the students answers to all the tests so that she wouldnt look bad for not being able to teach them. She would sit and cry literally everyday at the fear of losing her job. But then when testing time came, she would supply all the answers again, so she didnt look bad. So many parents are under the assumption that if their kids are bringing home A's and B's it means they are really learning a lot at these schools. They need to realize, the grades dont really mean much if they are given the answers so the school looks good.

  4. These charter schools are a joke. I placed my children in HAST in Hammond. Beautiful building, everything sounds great when speaking to the staff. However, the teaching there is far from acceptable. After pulling my children out about a year later and placing them back in the public school system, I have seen how far behind theybecame in that year. Parents are being fooled by believing their children are receiving an acceptable education at HAST. So many parents are fooled into believing that their students are learning above and beyond what the public schools are.....trust me, they are not. And no one is going to suffer from this except the children. Please parents, do your research, I mean really research.....I can guarantee if your child is in a charter school, they are behind public schools, regardless of what their teachers try to tell you.

  5. She is just as guilty if not more, than he is. She knew enough not to have relations with her mother, she was able to say no to that. But yet, she did these things to a child.......and couldnt say no to him for fear of losing him.. I think she was wanting this as much as he was

  6. I do agree rape is a horrible ugly thing. There is nothing worse. But I think people are taking his comment out of context. He is not minimizing rape by any means. He is stating something beautiful can come out of something so devastating. And that baby is a gift, a precious gift that nothing else can compare to. And its time America wakes up and starts treating our children, born and unborn like the precious precious gift they are.

  7. Valpo Girl .... Romans8:28 basically says everything is either sent by God or used by God.....God definitley did not send rape...but He may use the rape to produce a beautiful precious child....who has a purpose. God creates life, it doesn't happen by accident. So regardless of the circumstance of how the child came to be, the child was still created by God and is the most wonderful gift you can ever be given.

  8. I am sure this comment is going to start a riot. But first and foremost I blame the teachers. Now, before I get hung, let me say, they are many many great teachers out there who take their job very seriously. But at the same time, there are so many that dont. When I was younger and in school, the teacher that I had for kindergarten, 1st grade, 2nd grade, etc, they were all still there when I graduated 8th grade. This was a career the teachers took very seriously, not just a pay check. Now, my child gets a kindergarten teacher, the next year all the teachers are different, the following year, all the teachers are different.....its not like it use to be. 2nd I blame the parents, parents are not involved like they use to be. I can remember being rom mom and having so many parents want to come help for the parties and field trips, we had to turn people away. Now...there is no one, you can't beg a parent to volunteer. School is not a babysitter, you need to be there, you need to be involved, you need to get to know your childs teacher. Tehre needs to be phone calls and meetings,.....etc. And if you get a call you child is acting up, dont take the childs side automatically......there needs to be some responsibility on your child as well.
    I had my child in the charter school, I pulled them out and placed them in another hammond school. As bad as the Hammond schools are, I feel the charter school was worse. There is just no accountability anymore.
