Skeletons In The Closet: Eddie Long Sex Scandal

The ongoing (and increasing) sex scandal of one of black America’s most famous and extravagant “Mega Preachers,” Bishop Eddie Long has got the world talking; and not just talking about the event itself.

People are talking about this situation and want to know the truth; is Bishop Long really what he appears to be in the public’s eye; a praying sexual predator or is he really an inspiring and motivating Black-preacher.

So far four former members of a youth group he runs have accused him numerous times of persuading them into homosexual sex acts, and of abusing his significant ethical influence over them while persuading them with cash, new cars, lodging and lavish trips.

photos of Bishop Long posing in body suits in his bathroom show up on the internet, sexual impropriety is at least “a given.” Eddie longs lawyer had this to say about the photos:

 “The photos don’t corroborate these chargers. [Bishop Long] is a health advocate, he’s a weight lifter he’s a fella, who’s gonna go to work and he’s gonna have on a muscle shirt and you know he may show up in church in a muscle shirt, there’s nothing really in these photographs that seems to me corroborative of these allegations”  - Long’s attorney Craig Gillen in an interview on V-103’s “Frank And Wanda Morning Show”

Bishop Long has sent in a letter denying all accusations to a local radio station and has promised to address them from the pulpit on Sunday Oct 3.

                                               

Uniforms WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT ಠoಠ !

 A school uniform violates student’s right to express their selves. Students express their feelings and themselves through the clothing that they wear. Uniforms will take away a student’s expression and creativity. Why are school districts on trying to make students look the same?

 A school uniform policy takes away a student’s freedom of choice. A school teaches students that our country is a free country. However, when schools make students wear uniforms it takes away the students freedom.

 This also is a problem of expenses. Many parents shop for their children’s clothes at low expense stores. Uniforms can cost more money than these families can afford, this has been one of the main reasons why school uniforms don’t become a policy. Also students would need to buy clothes to wear after school and on the weekend, which can cost even more money than some families would spend than they would without the uniforms.

Schools think the uniform policy will help students focus more on their work than what they wear, but young people will always worry about what they look like. If the uniform policy does take off and students are forced to wear uniforms kids well still get bullied on still what they wear. Students well just find another way to accessorize whether its shoes, necklaces, earrings, watches, etc. so how will the school board prevent this time?
