After eleven years, church discovers that sunday school teacher is a woman and they fire her ass. But don't get upset cause the bible says it's okay

Since 1946, Mary Lambert has been a member of the First Baptist Church in Watertown, and for the past 11 years, she's been the Sunday school teacher.

But, last Thursday Lambert received a letter from the Diaconate Board telling her that she was dismissed from her position because the board had adopted the scriptural qualifications for Sunday school teachers. In short, this prohibits women from teaching men.

"I was astonished, absolutely astonished to pick up and read that kind of a letter without being talked to ahead of time about the possibility," said Mary Lambert.

The letter Lambert received says, "A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent. For Adam was formed first, then Eve. And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became sinner."

Well this is just stupid on a whole bunch of levels. So woman cannot teach men or boys anything? Does that include our moms? How about school teachers? Can you imagine little Johnny going to school and telling his second grade teacher that she is not to speak to him anymore? I would love to be a fly on the wall for that parent/teacher conference.

And what are the chances that this church is going to find guys willing to read bible stories to a room full of wiggling little anklebiters? Good luck with that.

The Christian church, dragging us back to the dark ages since the sixteenth century.
