Dodgers Kowtow To Teachers Unions, Honor ‘Sisters Of Perpetual Indulgence’<\/span><\/p>\n

The \u201cSisters of Perpetual Indulgence,\u201d according to Catholic Vote<\/a>, is \u201ca vile anti-Catholic organization.\u201d <\/strong>Their motto is \u201cGo and sin some more\u201d and they use the cross for\u00a0pole dances<\/a>. The group satirizes<\/a> Catholic beliefs for the sake of activism. They mock Easter Sunday<\/a> with a Hunky Jesus\/Foxy Mary contest.<\/strong> According to the Catholic League, they hold \u201cMidnight Confessional Contests\u201d awarding the \u201chottest confessions.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

So it makes sense that Dodgers fans came unglued when they heard their team would be rewarding the anti-Catholic, anti-Christian group<\/strong>. The Dodgers withdrew<\/a> their award in response to customer outrage and disinvited the \u201cSisters,\u201d but the California Teachers Association stepped in and strong-armed the Dodgers into standing with perverts against the will of their paying customers. CTA\u2019s May 2023 New Business Item<\/a> states, \u201cCTA shall release a public statement condemning the Dodgers\u2019 recent decision to rescind the Community Hero Award for the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.\u201d<\/p>\n

As veteran California teachers who\u2019ve served within the unions and personally witnessed the radical agenda CTA imposes upon teachers, we find it suspicious that while the Dodgers are taking so much rightful heat for their June 16 celebration of the offensive \u201cSisters,\u201d the CTA is getting away scot-free.<\/strong> CTA\u2019s offensive intrusion into America\u2019s national pastime and its endorsement of drag queens mocking nuns is scandalous. That\u2019s why discerning Americans have had enough and are rising up in protest against teacher unions.<\/p>\n

As Father Sebastian Walshe<\/a> of St. Michael\u2019s Abbey in the Diocese of Orange expresses, \u201cThe statement of the CTA should alarm every Catholic parent who sends their children to California public schools. No school should be a place where children are sexualized or taught anti-Catholic prejudice.\u201d<\/p>\n

The CTA rationalizes<\/a> its stance with: \u201cThe Dodgers decision is rooted in the same bigotry that\u2019s led to the LGBTQIA+ books being banned, drag shows being criminalized, and life-saving medical care being taken away from minors.\u201d But this is a deceptive statement. Americans are pushing back on pornographic books, drag queen events, and sex transition surgeries on children because these things are destructive to children and an affront to families and American values.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Catholics are\u00a0not the only<\/a> Americans offended by the CTA\u2019s endorsement. Jews, Muslims, Protestants and teachers like us are outraged as well.<\/p>\n

Rabbi Dov Fischer<\/a>, a senior congregational rabbi and law professor in California comments in his EdSource<\/a> article<\/a>, \u201cThe state\u2019s school system, established to provide a safe learning climate for all students regardless of their ethnicity, race, language or religious affiliation, is now [thanks to unions] a social laboratory<\/a> where students and families from devout faiths feel ostracized.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr. Ahmed Soboh<\/a>, the Chairman of the Islamic Shura Council of Southern California<\/a>, an umbrella organization of 67 mosques throughout California, agreed with the rabbi: \u201cMaking fun of religious symbols or mocking religious figures should not be celebrated, especially by those who have the honorable job of educating our children.\u201d<\/p>\n

Most teachers would agree with the reasonable statements of Father Walshe, Rabbi Fischer, and Imam Soboh. However, the CTA does not represent the majority of teachers. CTA\u2019s endorsement of the \u201cSisters\u201d is offensive to most teachers, and it demonstrates the radical, out-of-touch views of CTA leadership.<\/p>\n

Families of faith have good reason to be appalled since CTA<\/strong> \u2013 and its national arm NEA \u2013 misrepresent most teachers while controlling the trajectory of public education. Sahara Medrano, a dedicated veteran teacher and a minority representative of the California Teachers\u2019 Union State Council, sees the red flags: \u201cIt\u2019s becoming increasingly clear that a politically charged anti-Christian culture of religious intolerance is spreading throughout public school districts across our nation. If this trend continues, our public school system will break confidence with the religious community they are entrusted to serve. Students of faith are starting to boldly speak out<\/a> saying they don\u2019t feel safe in public schools.\u201d<\/p>\n

Teachers don\u2019t feel safe either.<\/strong> And we have to ask, what does forcing the Dodgers into submission to a political agenda that harms children have to do with representing us as educators?<\/p>\n

As public school teachers who\u2019ve also served in Christian ministry for years, we commend Muslims, Jews, Catholics, and Protestants for collectively taking a stand for true religious tolerance, by standing against the religious intolerance of CTA. And we\u2019re calling on teachers to join in protest too.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s follow the lead of fed-up Americans who are using their enormous power of the purse to deliver a financial sting<\/strong> to the Dodgers and companies like Bud Light and Target who cave to pressure from special interest groups instead of serving their customers. Teachers can stop the power of the intolerant CTA by refusing to pay union dues, but we need your help educating teachers that they no longer have to pay unions<\/a> as a condition of employment. If we help teachers empty the purses of union overlords, Americans can restore childhood innocence and freedom of speech and religion, and get back to enjoying baseball.<\/strong><\/p>\n
