after bishops changes. i drove to show support. my teachers have taught nothing but how to the love. when the archbishops actions are creating a environment of intolerance discrimination and fear for teachers and community it is our duty to support our teachers. archbishop [inaudible] used the catholic religion for haet speech. he says love and acceptance only belongs in the schools for those that are deemed worthy and that st. isn't right or just. we'll ask the arch bishal to retract the changes and ask you to support this resolution >> next speaking, please. >> my name is ana [inaudible] senior at sacred heart cathedral. i'm here as a certain student and friend and a deeply troubled catholic.
11:45 pm
the language the archbishop wants to include identify the action of is evil and hateful and has no place in our catholic communities. forcing teachers to sign a document is a cont rudiction of the teacher of conscious which calls on all people to reject teachings in violation including those that discriminate those in our communities yet the archbishop continues to fight for this language. our parents and teachers do not want this and most marntly we the student do not want this. we come to school to be in a safe place to learn and ask question squz explore the faith rkts we do not inxh to school to be told we are unequal in the eyes of god. should thee changes go forward, teachers will leave and parents will not longer trust the schools and we the

11:49 pm
i was initially skeptical on the board of supervisors waying in orin the contsversey 56789 as one who deeply appreciates the separation of church and state. i question the appropriateness of government getting involved, but separate doesn't mean exempt from support or challenge, praise or criticism. just as the church should speak its mind in matters of the state it finds troubling it is the right and responsibility of the state to raise the flag and say enough is enough when the church, any church goes too far. the morality clause proposal put forth by archbishop cort liowny does that it crosses the line. his initiative is hurtful to me on so many levels. as a
11:50 pm
parent, as a resident and simply as a human being. and as a catholic it pains me to see my archdiocese choose to present cath aulicism in such a judgmental way. i feel embarrassed by the proposal laser focus on hot button issues. while it appears the archbishop was rethinking his action make no mistake about his intentionsism in the diocese own words, nothing already planned to go in is being removed or retracted or with drawn. [inaudible] >> thank you sir, your time
11:51 pm
is up. thank you very much. next speaker please >> my name is vlad irks mir and i'm 83 years old and homeless and wanted help from the board of supervisors and mayor lee to return me home. because i think that to keep 83 years old on the street it is the only hitler germany did it thank you. jurkss thank you very much sir. next speaker, please >> i want to cu-mind sal vudoor cort lion. good for him. a men. yes and shame on all you people. shame on you. what does the bible say? paul
11:52 pm
quoted leviticus in loving your neighbors. love one another for he that loves one another fulfilled the law and for this though shall not [inaudible] if there is any other command it is briefly comp hended in this, love your neighbor as yourself. love works no ill so love is fulfilling of the law. the context of the statement is leviticus 19 where it says you are full of hate if you do not rebuke your brother when you see him do any wrong. that is what it says, you are full of hate, but this is turned around by the homosexual community and those for home sexuals 180 degrees from what it means. i'm stealing rushes words, but
11:53 pm
words mean things. words mean things. you can't change god. he is the same yesterday today and forever. when the grace of god comes into a mans heart then he does good works if he is a adult rr he say that is wrong and repent. if he is a homosexual he says i won't be a homosexual anymore. we read in first corinthians chapter 6 of the sins of those that were not christians and we delineated them through the [inaudible] >> your time is up, sir. thank you. clearly there is a need for meantm helths services in the chamber. at this time public comment is now closed. thank you all for coming out
11:54 pm

11:55 pm
and 21. supervisor ferrule. [inaudible] >> supervisor wiener. >> 21. what item did we not sever? >> item 20 >> item 19, supervisor farrow >> thank you madam president. i want thank the people that came out to speak today for all my colleagues for cosponsors the signing with me. the topic of conversation is a rough one for a number of weeks and brings no joy to talk about it, but i continue to believe as a prathsing catholic in san francisco who was educated in orcatholic school, we have a obligation to speak up and despite the recent events i continue to be a proud catholic in san francisco. proud to be
11:56 pm
educated here and part of a praths catholic family. as i mentioned the last few weeks have been the most challenging of my life in the catholic church and know tonight it was a sampling of the people that feel the same way and want to thank everyone for reaching out to my office at a time when pope frances continues to give so many hope inside and outside of the catholic church. these local events have over shadows the instration we are getting from rome. i think these actions really afront the valees we have in san francisco and that we all hold dear. their content and the way they are communicated to the the community and school community and in so many ways our adherence and defense of these values define us as san francisco mpt inclusion over exclusion, tolerance ofern discrimination and commitment
11:57 pm
for respect for the individual makes us who we are as a city. in our catholic church has the right to insure the catholic faith is taught and up hp held in the schools. but for a pastor to deny young weapon the ability to serve as alter girms as example, as we celebrate womens history month completely discredits what young women have brought to had catholic church. this is the point we should look to include people and encourage people to be part of the community, not exclude them. i think most parntsly as weez heard from people tonight to require teachers to sign a contract and to afirm and believe many of the practices the church discouraged is evil
11:58 pm
crosses the line. disageeing with the teachings doesn't mean i or anyone here isn't a catholic or bad catholic, but disagrees and has a caujss that tells them otherwise. plike many people talked about i don't know what to say whether they are teachers parents or student who believe in those values as well. what do we say to the teachers that are part of the lgb community or the friends who are part of the lgb community? insuch we stand up for everyone. we stand up for the community and honor and embrace those that choose to do the same. our features play such a important role for our children and families and i want to thank members of the arch diseize and high sools that came out, even a wild cat, thank you for being out here, but the disconteent and
11:59 pm
uncertaintyly and confuse the stream of events caused it not only unnecessarily but avoidable and in my opinion unconsciousenable. we can not talk out of both sides of our mouth. honoring our teachers and placing restriction on employment and creating a culture of fear that has no place in our schools right now. the message is coming from pope franceing and the archdiocese cannot be more at odds in the tone and approach and this causes confusion over what the real message of the chunch is and it is what dishardens me as a catholic. it is unfortunate when there is a constant need for par tisitation in everything we need here in san francisco. we need to be galvanized and notdroid in solving our issues that face us. we continue to have violence on the streets and continue to have homeless
12:00 am
issues and have so many issues that need or attention and argue and suggest need a strong catholic community. i love pope frances quote, i prefer a church which is bruised hurtding and dirty because it has been in sth streets rather than a church that is confined and cleaned from the own security. i'll say again this week, i expect as a legislator and pray as a cath lack that events are resolved in a manner similar to the resolution we are voting on today which honors the cont butions of the teachers [inaudible] my mope sh continues to be no matter what religion our faith community we
