Asst. principal at ‘science-based school’ invites teen abortion protesters to join fetus in hell with Trump
Two home-schooled teens protesting abortion on a sidewalk in front of a Pennsylvania school were confronted by the assistant principal, who told them they and President Trump could go to hell, along with the aborted fetuses they called “image bearers of God.”

The incident occurred in April in front ofSTEM Academy in Downingtown, Pa. Assistant principal Zachary Ruff was caught on video confronting the brother and sister, telling them, “Im as gay as the day is long and twice as sunny. I dont give a f what you think Jesus tells me.” He also denied the protesters’ assertion that abortion constituted a holocaust, not that there isn’t one going on in 2017: “If you want to talk about a holocaust happening in America, go into an inner city, and talk to the poor and underprivileged.”
The Washington Posts’ followers on Twitter were largely in agreement that Ruff, who was placed on administrative leave, was a hero.

According to the report, he wasn’t fired, and the school district says it will follow all policies and procedures for internal personnel matters.
@washingtonpost This man is my hero! Church and State are separated. If you want religion values go to damn religion school. Take your propaganda elsewhere

@washingtonpost Good for him. No one has to tolerate uninformed, willfully ignorant nonsense like the kind those kids were spewing. I hope he wins!
