Dear Editor,
Crude, rude, shameful, reckless, and irresponsible are just a few of the words I can use to mildly rebuke Minister of Education Ronald Thwaites for his characterisation of those he has been charged to educate and rehabilitate.
Sir, you are leading by poor example. It is shameful that you have gone that low to characterise God's children as "leggo beast". With this you do not have the moral authority to tell teachers that they are out of line.
When Jesus was blessing the children and his disciples were not too happy and were turning them away, Jesus rebuked them for their poor behaviour. Let us not condemn the children, please use your good ministry and your church to help educate and rehabilitate the children instead of labelling them "leggo beasts".
Go back to the pages of the Bible Deacon Thwaites. Luke 18: 16-17 states: "But Jesus called for them, saying, 'Permit the children to come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these'."
In Matthew 19:14 Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." Please heed the words of Jesus, "Suffer the little ones to come unto me and forbid them not for such is the kingdom of God."
