Entire teaching staff at Ohio preschool quits | NewsNation Now 

In fact, there are more shady people, because the church gives you this veil of honor, no questions asked. Especially when it comes to access to children or money, there will be those who have ill intent.

In my opinion, as soon as anyone attaches their church label to anything, they immediately throw down red flags and become suspect.

@@Susweca5569 You should be suspicious of everyone until they've proven trustworthy. All people are capable of wrongdoing, given the right motivation and opportunity. True Christians, and churches operated properly, will be trustworthy because they'll live according to Christ's teachings and apply those principles to their business dealings. But bad people will call themselves Christian or use a church as cover for their own purposes and they don't always strive to do what Christ would. Just like bad people have become doctors, nurses, politicians, police officers, and non-profit charities in order to prey on others. The Bible teaches Christians to correct one another in love, but to remove a person from the group who refuses to correct their wrong behavior. Churches who haven't done so are not behaving as they ought.

It automatically makes them less trustworthy than lay businesses.

In fact, because churches depend on selling lies and myth as truth for money, they should be deemed _less_ trustworthy right from the get-go.

That's good character. Wrong is wrong. What a shame nobody can be trusted.

Let's hope that these wonderful people find positions at other schools.

LOL! Good one.."in mass". Nice play on 'en masse'. 💪

Some churches rely heavily on tuition from their schools. Without their preschools and K-12 schools some of these churches would have to lay off staff and make other budget cuts like delaying maintenance.

And why aren't they talking about possibly relocating .. Theres thousands of church buildings .. to consider Restarting at another facility

@@cathymiller2798they have no money, the church has it!!! Duh!

this smells like SOP for petty authoritarians hiding in priests robes

@@cathymiller2798 leaves the local students and parents high and dry. Better of, in my book, but they will lament

A lot of churches would have to lay off staff or close if they didn't have the income from preschools and K-12 schools.

@@OrioleBeagle this is just preschool , 2 days a month is $115- $125 and 3 days a month is $155 and they had 102 kids , that is a LOT of money every month plus there was donations from people and also fund raisers , there is absolutely no reason or excuse for why the amount collected was never available , the so called "church" has obviously been stealing the entire 18 yrs , that is why they couldnt be open or transparent or give an exact amount at any time . . Wanting transparancy and to know how much is in the budget makes complete sense and when your entire staff is about to quit over it there is no reason to not have transparancy if there is nothing to hide but obviously they couldnt do that , their stealing would have been found out . smdh

Organizations that have humans have that problem, religious or secular.

Going through it now with the nonprofit that I work for. It’s crazy!

In my experience many are not.

Choosing, not chosing.

All those religion tax breaks make a difference. As church school, the fact that they can take money in with no tax burden, like anybody else has to pay, disincentivises a nonaffiliated school because now it has to follow the rules the rest of do. Church schools are inherently an opportunity for a racket.

​@@yippieskippy2971A few church schools are. But I think if you did a percent analysis, there would be more corruption in the public schools. The curriculum of the public schools has deteriorated. Yet it is important to have public school.

@@lizhall2961 "the curriculum of the public schools has deteriorated". Citation plz.

That takes capital. It might be possible to raise it in the community or another church may be willing to start a program or hire them to expand a program. There's certainly a need in the community; 102 kids were enrolled there this year ....

​​@@MicheleEngelThey are already raising funds for these people. They built the school. "THAT TAKES CAPITAL "... Everything takes capital, they can borrow and make that back easily.

That's essentially what they did, unfortunately you didn't watch the video.

​@mogulmade When the lady says "we built that school". She means just that,THE SCHOOL,NOT THE PHYSICAL BUILDING.Probably "church's"? insurance & whatnot,building,parking,insurance etc. THAT TAKES CAPITOL($$$)!!

except now all the children have to find another school.

@@nancyfarkas3592 That's addressed in the clip. Parents are in support of the teachers, and they're the ones who will find another school, not the children.

Phil should of said that to Trump about him hiding documents in Mar-a-Lardo.

Dr. Phil seems to have forgotten his own words as of late.

If that’s true, how about giving me your Gmail address password, or are you hiding something?

Listening to what Dr Phil says convinced me not to take him seriously.

​@@Zwanzig92 I won't give you my email address and personal information NOT because I am hiding anything but bc I have no idea what you are hiding, or what you are hiding from. So just because I trust me, doesn't matter, I do NOT trust YOU

Your Employees are not entitled to your financial records.

@@JS-mh9uunot so!! Hopefully someone has reported this church to the IRS.

That sweet, sweet, tax-free money.

Can’t, it’s a church.

Into what?

It will be harder as I know a lot of school districts are now requiring teachers be bilingual in English, especially in the lower grades where the youngest children are least likely to know English.

@@cyan1616 crazy!? Isn’t that discrimination?

Teachers could make several times what they’re making in an urban area public school.

@@raybod1775As long as they buy into the indoctrination of children by Neo-Marxists in the public school systems.

@@pizzapartytime1826 Bilingualism is a skill that can be learned. It's not discrimination if an employers requires it. What kind of discrimination would you even try to claim?

Nope. They love it because they hate school. Lol. Get to stay home with mom time.

Funny. IRS has done one in five years.

@@User12347ejdj. Are you saying the IRS has done an audit in five years? I’m not really understanding what youmean.

@@libbyworkman3459 just one church has been audited in about five years.

Religious organizations are not audited by the government. The preschool is run by the church. People give their money freely to the religious organizations. No laws are broken. Only in extreme cases when many people complain do some small church gets shut down . There are some government regulations that need to be followed to declare itself a tax free organization.

@@rayRay-pw6gz , one church has in five years. Reference, Last Week Tonight Next time, don’t guess or assume. Know the facts.

UCC has committed some very outrageous actions in my in-laws church. So extreme we left. NE Ohio.

Sadly, it’s going to continue and get worse 😢

That really helped these teachers out!!

*Quit (If ever you wish to edit a comment, hover your cursor to the right of the comment. When the three linear dots appear, you will be given the opportunity to do so.)

@@gregorygrimm5540 You allow yourself to be triggered easily. Be careful with that. BTW, you should work on your punctuation and capitalization.

@@gregorygrimm5540 It's okay for people to correct others. For instance, I am going to correct you because not every person in this world knows what people are implying or mean. Yes, proper grammar, punctuation and pronunciation should be corrected. There are rules and requirements of every language out there in this world.

There's no indication the church was crooked.

Quit donating to ANY Church, it's such a racket, people willingly believing in fairy tales to make their lives more bearable.

That takes capital. It might be possible to raise it in the community or another church may be willing to start a program or hire them to expand a program. There's certainly a need in the community; 102 kids were enrolled there this year ....

They could raise enough money.

​@@raybod1775 they already did. The church stole it.

We lost 32 teachers 😢at our school this year because of behavior, cell phones and lack of support from administration. “It sucks”

geesh, thats bush league AF

Christians love all those shepherd metaphors so much that they forget shepherd don't protect their flocks out of the goodness of their hearts, but because they want to keep fleecing them year after year. I'm not saying there aren't ethical churches that provide community and a trained on-call counselor in times of crisis, whose members feel they're getting good value in exchange for their tithes, but an ethical church is transparent about their financials.

@@astrinymris9953 I agree ☝️

The bigger the church, the more corrupt it is.

So misappropriation? In a church? The parishioners should oust the council and Pastor & prayerfully begin again.

🎯💯

There's no indication of that.

Incorrect. Only the grace of Jesus is freely given. All other religions rely on behavior and good works. Study all religions. Jesus is the only free gift. He is the only way to be washed and reconciled to The Father.

The Church of Christ is not Catholic. Catholics don’t tithe.

Catholics don't tithe. You can't be dismissed from the Catholic Church for being poor. Now if she wanted to put her kids in Catholic school and couldn't pay, that's another thing.

Greed is everywhere.

BUT YET THEY REAP THE REWARDS OF BEING TAX EXEMPT 🤷🏻‍♂️

You didn’t miss it! The reporter is not very good! She never mentioned the city only the state. Duh! I googled it………it’s in Amherst. Maybe she should give a FULL report!!

My first thought also: Oh, just the state name? Because there are no cities in Ohio? If the interviewer were from, say, New Zealand, and the particular city name would be meaningless and the state name was already a fine detail for them then leaving out the city name would be OK. A North America interviewer? Pathetic.

News readers do it all the time…Midwest has a tornado and you have to wait until the last sentence to find out what state even. Mass shooting gets two paragraphs before they say where. Serial killer, airplane crash, etc. too.

THEY DID THAT ON PURPOSE​@@marygajdos896

LOCATION NOT MENTION ON PURPOSE

Some churches rely on their schools to make up for budget shortfalls in the church. It happens all the time.

It’s probably been squandered on exotic trips to attend a meeting in Hawaii.

Except that the community has already donated a lot of money to the church for exactly this purpose. Do they have the resources to do it again? The parishioners of the church should have a strike: No more tithes until the church council opens all the books. Hit 'em in the pocketbook; that's where they'll feel it.

I felt like the news was purposely not saying.

The IRS needs reasonable grounds for suspicion in order to start an investigation. What they're doing is skeevy, but I don't think it's per se illegal. Churches are traditionally given a lot of leeway in how they run their organization. Plus, it would also be political dynamite in today's climate. We've already got Christian Nationalists martyrbating about how the evil secular government is coming for your religious freedom. The IRS even starting an investigation of a church would be like throwing jet fuel on a bonfire.
