Westboro Baptist Church plans to protest children at a central Ohio school
Controversial Westboro Church To Protest Hilliard Schools

HILLIARD, Ohio — On Tuesday, the controversial Westboro Baptist Church, known for protesting the funerals of U.S. soldiers, said it plans to protest children at a central Ohio school.

A note was sent out warning parents that the group plans to picket at Hilliard Darby High School next month, 10TV's Tanisha Mallett reported.

Led by Kansas Pastor Fred Phelps, church members are known for protesting military funerals and preaching a homophobic message.

They plan to bring that message to Hilliard Darby High School in protest of what they called a "pervert-run" school.

2. they protested at San Bruno's High School after the gas explosion that killed a former student
who had attended just a year or two before (so she was well known there).

God Hates Fags' Westboro Baptist Church Brings its Insanity to San Bruno
By Joe Eskenazi, Tue., Nov. 9 2010 @ 6:45AM

Good Lord. What now?
​The Westboro Baptist Church took a break from picketing military funerals -- churchmembers believe the soldiers' deaths were God's will, as our nation coddles homosexuals. Yesterday, the church, almost entirely composed of members of the Phelps clan, protested at San Bruno's Capuchino High School and YouTube headquarters.

The message: Is it even worth trying to determine the warped thought process of the Westboro looney-tunes? If we must: The San Bruno PG&E gas explosion was, evidently God's will. And something about fags. And YouTube refuses to let them post their videos (at last, an actual logical target -- with nothing to do with God or fags or the tooth fairy).

4. Wow they must be scared that they are going to be attacked
if they protest anymore funerals so now they are attacking children. They are acting like every other bully.
