WTF is Focus?

Anonymous
The focus club is stealing all the kids from the middle school dance this evening and a bunch of parents are asking… WTF is focus? Is it a donut in exchange for Christian nationalism? Is it just a white supremecist organization to encourage white, elite intermarriage? Where do they even stand on lgbtq issues? The leaders look like crazy eyed Mormons. So the kids go to a makeout summer camp in Martha’s Vineyard? How is it possibly ok for the org to conduct events inside our already Christian school? Is our Christian school too woke Christian for some families? Also… why don’t they tell all parents about focus? It’s like a secret org that only some kids know about. They also attract girls by luring bits with donuts and footballs. Is this a cult?

I think It’s just young life for really, really rich kids.

I feel like most campus ministries have a statement of faith (it's usually very generic so Christians of all denominations feel comfortable with it). I find it interesting that I can't find one for Focus on their website.

Our already Christian school has Wyldlife (Young Life for MS) instead. Maybe it's not rich enough for Focus.

All the children of Trump supporters go to focus

What middle school is this?

If a rogue Christian cult can steal all your students from the one big social event of the year, you have a serious student culture problem

If your school invites a group that you think may be a front for white supremacy and anti-LGBTQ and many students are attracted to that group's activities, perhaps you should question your school's values.

Interesting. DC is at one of those and I haven’t heard about it. DC is agnostic though, and very liberal. I wonder how popular it is? Most of those schools lean liberal.

Which of those schools lean liberal? I think it’s the opposite. The schools that lean liberal aren’t listed above.

Episcopal schools tend to lean liberal, so does Flint Hill. I’m not particularly familiar with Potomac or Madeira.

DD goes to Madeira, and I've never heard of FOCUS. Also, the school does lean liberal IMO.
