Scott County Schools to be closed Friday due to a protest

Per WBIR.com
Scott County schools will be closed Friday.
Scott County Director of Schools Susan Wilson said the schools will be closed due to plans by Westboro Baptist Church to protest at Scott High School.
Four cheerleaders at Scott High School were killed in an Oct. 24 crash while driving from a football game to an event after the game.
Wilson said the Westboro group, which often protests soldiers' funerals and other events not visibly connected to the group's anti-homosexual tolerance agenda, had given the sheriff's department official notice they planned to protest.

While one can understand the need to care for the students in Scott County, in many ways they should have had school and confronted this group straight up. This group is no different than the likes of many terror groups and I am sure that some liberal is going to run their mouth about it but who cares? A group like this church is not liberal or conservative, they are a cult-like creature out to impose their will any way that they can just as the other terror groups seek to do. It would be nice to ask them since Tennessee banned gay marriage in 2006, exactly how is God punishing it for allowing homosexuality and how do they know that the tragic deaths of these four young people comes from God?

I've haven't encountered any progressives who would attach this little band of loonies to either conservatives or the GOP. Sometimes it's so obvious that a particular group is so far out of touch with absolutely everyone else that there's nothing to be gained by trying to hold them up as an example of what "the other side" would want.
