I learned something rather disturbing today…my boss attended and graduated from Bob Jones Univeristy some 35 years ago…
this would not be such a big deal if it weren’t for the other things I know and have learned about this man…
(more below the flip)
I have known since I began working for him that he was a Baptist minister, but I never knew the extent of his wing-nuttery.
The Bob Jones thing shocked me to say the least, but I was floored to learn that, in his home town in rural Georgia, he has relatives who are active members of the KKK. I also learned that he was destined for a spot there as well, until he moved north to Pennsylvania.
I probably shouldn’t be shocked by this, this is a man who worships Rick Santorum, a man who prevented a number of his employees from using their lunch hour to protest Bush when he was in PA yesterday.
What really strikes me as odd is that the vast majority of his employees are liberals, and we are quite vocal about it. Politics are actively discussed in our workplace. Many of us have openly anti-Bush comics hanging in our offices.
So, now I am faced with the decision. Do I keep working for him, staying in a job that I have had for almost 10 years?
At this point, I really have no choice, as my wife is just weeks away from delivering a baby and will be out of work for months…
