It was also suggested during the lesson by another adult, that marrying a "career woman" might be a bad idea.

I didn't say anything during the meeting, but I will bring it up with the YM President first. And then maybe the Bishopric.

Minority kids in this white church have a tough enough time already. There is no sense in putting this nonsense on their plate.

My suggestion to the church curriculum office to remove the passage has not been met with any response.
yuck

So its a good idea to continue to teach this garbage to the youth? Without people objecting to the curriculum the church will continue to teach the youth this awful doctrine. We need MORE Rosa Parks on this issue not less. Your calling Mike retarded by reference of the "Short Bus" may be funny to some but is indicative of the overall problem.

I think we are being blessed with more of Indy's infamous humor....much like his recent "fag" joke.

Indy is a crack up!

In our branch of multi-ethnic youth, we're more concerned about them keeping their pants on right now (which is not some abstract, hypothetical problem and I am not resorting to hyperbole) than we are about the ethnic makeup of their future spouse.

Ethnicity is not even a topic of discussion when it comes to talking about temple marriage.

I skipped that quote when I taught that lesson years ago. I recently was in attendance when this lesson was taught in our ward and the instructor began reading the quote and then said "oops, I had this marked as don't read, never mind guys". I think many people leave out that quote. IIRC, the quote also advises that we marry within our own socioeconomic status as well. It's definitely one for the trash bin.

C'mon. Someone has to poke fun at Mike's little Quixotic crusades.
