Yogi Bear Sunday School: Dangerous To Bronx Children
Yogi Bear Sunday School
coming to Clason Point, Bronx
4:30pm Nov. 20th , 2009.
FACTS:
- No permit displayed, no permission
- No attempt to get parental consent
- Giving food items to children without parental consent
- Using candy to manipulate children to chant "amen" and to pray
- blasting loud rap music from a PA system and luring children to come out of their homes
- Luring them with a wall of toys they never were able to touch
- Did not give any information to parents or children on what church they were affiliated with, contact information or how to participate in any program
- Did not even teach any stories from the bible, only a parable about a duck and God and encouraged chanting
These people lied and said they have come to Clason Point for over 30 years. A resident who has been here for over 30 years has never heard of them.
This group wore t shirts that said Metro Ministries. If they are a part of this organization, they never disclosed or gave parents information.
If any black adults went into a community in, for example, Park Slope, and preached to local children out of a truck and lured them with candy, they would be arrested.
Yogi Bear Sunday School didn't teach these kids anything except that approaching a strange truck and taking candy is OK.
You don't need candy to teach children about the Lord and it is unsafe to come into a community without parental consent and give out candy and lure children with toys.
