This story makes my head explode…….

WBZA student ensemble is being forced to change its tune after someone complained that a Cathedral Concert planned for Easter Sunday Mass in Italy violated the separation of church and state. The Groton-Dunstable Regional High School Chamber Chorus has performed all over the world, including at the London Olympics and even in medieval castles. The award winning group is used to being in high demand. What they are “not” used to is having to cancel out on a gig.

“It’s a real shock to all of us, because I don’t think we’ve ever experienced anything like this,” one student said.

The chorus was chosen out of 800 other groups to perform at St. Anthony’s Basilica in Italy for Easter Sunday Mass. The trip to Italy and also Croatia was being privately funded, but the chorus had to bow out. The reason: A group threatened to sue them. A former school committee member, Leslie Lathrop, contacted Americans United For Separation of Church and State. That group wrote a letter to the school superintendent saying in part “Taking public school students to worship services as part of a public school activity is a flagrant violation of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment of the Constitution.”

The school district decided not to fight it in court.

“The fear was probably that maybe we’re not in violation, but if it’s gonna be a long extended court case, the possibility of an expensive legal battle,” said Mike Woodlock, the school’s principal.

Members of the chorus WBZ spoke to are upset because they believe it has nothing to do with religion. They pointed out they had performed at churches before and no one complained. Leslie Lothrop knows people are angry at her. She denied suggestions she filed the complaint because she’s Jewish. “For a public school to do something that appears to endorse a particular religion, which this does, it’s just not allowed. It’s prohibited,” she said. “I’m just concerned the chorus adheres to what the statutes say.”

Leslie Lathrop is EXACTLY how you pictured her:

Turtleboy is a HUGE supporter of the arts. When you sign your kid up for soccer or basketball, sometimes it’s pretty easy to tell if that’s gonna be a sport they can excel at, or if they’re destined for a career on the bench. If it’s the latter then there’s a good chance they’re gonna be miserable. But that’s OK because they might be really good at other things like singing, or playing the french horn, or acting. So it’s great when schools like Groton-Dunstable can offer such an amazing arts program.

And as you saw, the GD Chamber Chorus is one of the best around.

And what an honor it is to CHOSEN to sing at St. Anthony’s Basilica – a historic world landmark, completed in the 14th century. I don’t care what religion you are. History is history. And this particular church is filled to the brim with art, history, and amazing architecture. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for these kids, and now they can’t go because of one idiot:

Leslie Greenfield Lathrop. You can tell just by looking at her that she is perpetually the turd in the punch bowl.

Somehow this miserable hag found her way onto the Groton-Dunstable School Committee. Here’s her website. Gotta love the picture she chose.

Screen Shot 2017-01-18 at 10.42.03 AM

Deep thinker.

Is she trying to make it look like she has dreadlocks? Because if so, that tells you everything you need to know about her.

It’s not enough for Leslie Lathrop to be the miserable old cat lady in town. She has to bring other people’s kids down with her. Her own son is long gone from the GD public schools, and graduated from WPI. So now that she doesn’t really have a stake in the schools anymore, she’s decided to ruin a great experience for other people’s children.

“For a public school to do something that appears to endorse a particular religion, which this does, it’s just not allowed. It’s prohibited,” she said. “I’m just concerned the chorus adheres to what the statutes say.”

Guaranteed “it’s prohibited” is one of Leslie’s top five favorite catch phrases.

Screen Shot 2017-01-18 at 11.52.11 AM

What the hell are you talking about? How does this “endorse a particular religion”? No one is being forced to take communion. No one is being forced to convert to Catholicism. They’re just signing a song because they’re so good at singing that they were chosen over 799 other choral groups. Shut up and let the kids sing.

And of course she’s brought along her soulless bully lawyers from the ACLU. Remember when the ACLU was a legitimate organization looking out for normal people’s civil liberties? Good times. Now it’s basically just used to attack cops, baby Jesus in the manger, and innocent children who want to sing songs at historic landmarks.

It would be one thing if Leslie Lathrop was an atheist. That I could kind of understand. Don’t get me wrong, she’d still be a dink. But at least that would make sense. But she’s not an atheist, she’s Jewish. And on her Facebook page she proudly champions the cause of Jews all over the world. Does anyone honestly believe she’d be objecting to this if the choir was singing at the Great Synagogue of Rome for Passover? Of course not. She’s just being miserable for the sake of being miserable. It’s what people like her do. I’m sure she’s fun to hang out with at parties.

This isn’t the only thing she wants to take away from kids in school. The G-D football team better watch out, because they might be next.

Screen Shot 2017-01-18 at 11.11.40 AM

She HATES people own guns

Screen Shot 2017-01-18 at 11.13.52 AMScreen Shot 2017-01-18 at 11.12.01 AM

She hates being around other human beings.

But she LOVES Elizabeth Warren.

Screen Shot 2017-01-18 at 11.14.54 AM

Yea, we kind of figured that.
Screen Shot 2017-01-18 at 11.58.23 AM

Oh, and for what it’s worth, this trip is privately funded and they’ve performed at several different religious venues in the past:

Screen Shot 2017-01-18 at 11.17.36 AM

Good point George. But the citizens of Groton aren’t the ones making the decision to back off. The gutless principal Mike Woodlock is:

“The fear was probably that maybe we’re not in violation, but if it’s gonna be a long extended court case, the possibility of an expensive legal battle,” said Mike Woodlock, the school’s principal.

In other words, the precedent has now been set that if any busy body from the community sues the school they will give into their demands because it costs too much money to fight them. This is also known as “backing down to bullies.” What he should do is find a young, hungry lawyer who’s willing to take something on like this pro-bono. This is why schools keep lawyers on retainer. For situations like this. Because this is a high profile case in the making. Any lawyer who took this on would instantly be a hero for freedom and normal people everywhere. Feel free to contact Mr. Woodlock to let him know what you think of his cowardly decision:

An unloveable, unmarried, childless troglodyte from Manhattan. This is the type of person who is teaming up with Leslie Lathrop to dictate policy of a small regional high school in North Central Massachusetts. Hey Principal Woodlock, grow a sack and actually stand up for your kids instead of cowering like a jellyfish. I’m willing to bet that the taxpayers of Groton and Dunstable will have your back.

    This is horrible horrible journalism. I agree that she seems like a miserable twat, we all do.. but the real story ended a couple paragraphs in… why carry on with your slander and reaching insults for 3x the length of the real story? I grew up in Westford which is right next to GD. yes the students have a right to preform and I’m angry she took that away as well but all this article did was make me focus on what a shit reporter you are that you needed to spend that amount of time lurking in her facebook page to take old statuses. Agree with the topic of the report but damn this is the worst iv read since peer editing in my 6th grade English class

    Well, I felt compelled to email the principal:

    Hello Mr. Woodlock,

    My name is Leslie Lathrop, and I recently received a message on social media from a person who initially though I was Leslie Greenfield Lathrop, a woman who is apparently trying to keep your exemplary student chorus from performing at St. Anthony’s Basilica in Italy on Easter Sunday.
    I live in California and have no association with this issue, besides unfortunately sharing the same first and last name of this person. However, I am the parent of 16 year old triplets, high school juniors who are outstanding musicians and members of their high school’s marching band and concert bands. They also take private music lessons and have performed with their school and private music teacher in churches of every denomination all over San Diego. Last month, they performed on the deck of the USS Midway as their marching band (Rancho Buena Vista High School) was selected as San Diego HS marching band of the year. NONE of our parents (the marching band has over 200 students) have ever complained about any religious venue that was gracious enough to allow us to perform there, or ridiculously felt that the ‘separation of church and state issue’ was relevant. NONE of our parents complained about our kids performing on the USS Midway, and even here in San Diego, not everyone is pro-military.
    I hope that you, your school board and your city council will reconsider and not punish these hardworking kids because of one person’s odd agenda, especially as Ms. Lathrop is not even a parent of any of these students. Neither Americans United for Separation of Church and State nor the ACLU should have intervened here since the trip is privately funded. I am appalled that they even took the time to pursue this, it is simply ridiculous.
    As I said, I have no affiliation with this issue at all, but after talking with the person who sent me a message thinking I was Leslie Greenfield Lathrop, I felt compelled to read about this, look at Ms. Greenfield’s webpage, and email you. If this happened to my kids, I would do everything in my power to ensure that they were not unfairly penalized for working hard and being recognized for it. Your students bested 799 other ensembles for this amazing honor! What does it teach them if they are denied it? That hard work and effort is not rewarded? That different religious cannot coexist and interact peacefully? That this is a form of religious intolerance? That they may somehow be unduly influenced or corrupted by performing in this historical place that is almost certainly mentioned, and probably pictured in your district’s history curriculum? All bad lessons..
    I typically respect what the ACLU stands up for, but they are not always right, and I feel they intimidate and use their power incorrectly at times. Well, this is certainly one of those times. I hope you and your school district will also fight for your students and find a way to let them perform, they deserve this honor!

    Sincerely,
    Leslie D. Lathrop
    San Diego, CA

    She already voted against football…. luckily the rest of school committee was for it, so she was outnumbered. Her next agenda is getting rid of the “Crusader” mascot name. She is insane. I live in town and no one can stand her and her f’d up ideals. Not sure if you actually saw the news story – she should spend more time cleaning up her yard instead of picking on kids…..

If the principle does not reinstate this trip, which even sounds stupid, because its privately funded. So why does the principle have any say. The choir is a group , that group can do what ever they chose on their time and if nothing else te parents should take each and every member of that choir there to sing. Period. WTF

    Jesus H Christ was known as the “King of the Jews”. He was betrayed by another Jew, Judas Iscariot, for 30 pieces of silver. Rome was the fascist home of Benito Mussolini, Il Duce. He admired Woodrow Wilson… The architect behind the killing of Archduke Ferdinand, a Catholic conservative, sparking World War 1. Known at the time as the “war to end all wars”. (Spoiler alert, there was a second world war, thanks to FDR (a democrat)). So as you can see, the King of the Jews is responsible for 2 World Wars. Because Jesus is a socialist.

      I did not write the 2 above posts. If God talked to Jesus and Mohammed why would God tell Jesus to turn the other cheek and why would God tell Mohammed to kill all Jews and Christians and non-believers of Islam as well as LGBTs, or to make them slaves and make them pay fines? I don’t believe God would tell every religion a different story. That just leads humanity to wage religious wars against other religions. And that is why I practice Chinese Buddhism, because it leads one to the truth.

Something that could be put on a resume if any of them pursue a career in the arts. What a nudnik.

      Don’t you know?….. they don’t let them say the “Pledge of Allegiance” in school anymore. How sad. I’m so sick of this shit.
      What right does she have, or anyone else to stop a group of willing participants who want to perform, from performing. It’s not like it’s against “their” will and she is saving them. She is hurting them. Why?…. I’d have to say it’s just because she is a miserable selfish bitch that needs to get a live and leave the lives of others alone. It’s not her business. Right?
