I wish, for the love of mercy, that someone in the local press or blog community would bring some attention to the fact that Mars Hill Church is bringing Ted Tripp to Seattle in just a few weeks. Tripp has an extreme focus on corporal punishment, and teaches parents to target BABIES as young as 8 months old for physical discipline. It makes me sick that this guy is going to come to Seattle and influence young parents here. Tripp's ideas are developmentally inappropriate and sexually unsavory for small children. Check out some of the reviews for his book on the Amazon website. Maybe some of you out there in West Seattle can email Mars Hill and protest. The church is fairly sensitive to bad publicity. Do it for the babies.
