This is a weekly seriesthat will include a brief summary of the latest articles that have beenpublished on The Tribulation Times Herald-Exhorter. Hopefully, this will encourage you to gocheck out some truly outstanding articles that have been published by a numberof truly outstanding authors. Moreover,I hope this will also encourage you to want to become a contributingmember/author, as well. The “Hear Ye! Hear Ye!” site explanation near the top ofthe side-bar should answer many of your questions. Yes, this series also included an “SOS! (SpamOn Saturdays)” segment before, but itjust wasn’t working for me. Therefore, thatwill be replaced by a republishing of one of the Trib articles.

Closeto a month ago, I published an article [here] about the Republic (MO) R-IIISchool Board voting to remove a couple of books from the high school library inthe hope of protecting the innocence of the attending children, but it wouldseem that they feel quite differently about protecting innocent girls frombeing raped on campus by predatory boys. In fact, they appear to be quite indignant about it, which should becomeclear after watching the following video of a local newscast.

Didyou catch that next to the last part? “Schoolboard members and school officials have refused comment about the incident, butdid file a response to the suit, calling it, ‘Frivolous,’ and saying, ‘Thespecial needs student didn't do enough to protect herself.’”
No,that report did not go into previously alleged details, which makes theRepublic School Board’s response even more callous. For the [FIRST TIME] she reported being rapedto school officials, not only didn’t they believe her, they forced her to writea letter of apology to the boy before suspending her for the rest of herseventh grade year.
Thenext time (allegedly) it happened, DNA was obtained, and I hope the stuff isjust starting to hit proverbial fan. Granted, there may very well be another side to this story, but the wayit has been handled so far is beyond shocking to me.
Alas,I suppose I shouldn’t be all that surprised. For back when my first wife and I were going home after treatingourselves to a night out at the movies in Springfield on New Year’s Eve (1977),we were stopped by a couple of Republic Police cars as we travelled throughtown. Evidently, 25 MPH was too slow tobe going in a 35 MPH zone at around 2 AM with no other cars on the road, andafter determining that I had not been drinking (this was before that started),one of cops told me that I needed to pay more attention to my driving than Iwas to my girlfriend. Oh, there is not adoubt in my mind that this was another time when our Heavenly Father stepped into keep me out of getting into some serious trouble. For I wanted so badly to smart back to thatofficer about her being my wife, and that trying to pay as much attention toher as she would let me had resulted in her being around 5 months pregnant(with Vicki, our first child) at the time, which would have probably gotten methrown in jail for a number of sundry charges.
No,it is not good to judge a town on a few bad incidents. Besides, Republic actually looks like one ofthose fairly small towns that many dream about living in, but whenself-righteousness and pride mix, there will be much more to be brought outinto the light.
