| Info | Gregory Thompson Ph.D., our candidate for governor, understands the consequences when governments turn their backs on God with mandates rather than using the constitutional process. In 2004, he lost his job to them.
Greg was serving his community as the Superintendent of the Humansville, Missouri R-IV School District when he found himself a defendant in a Federal lawsuit. Among the complaints that supposedly justified court action:
Having the Ten Commandments, the main rules for everyone to live by, up in the school for the students, an acknowledgement of God, and historically a protected right under the Constitution.
Allowing a prayer to be said during a Veterans’ Day program for our troops risking life and limb in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Having in his office and on his desk a Bible, a “praying hands” statuette, and a cross on his office wall, where they were “visible to students, parents, teachers, staff, and members of the public.”
Refusing to stop acknowledging God, understanding like the statesmen that signed the Declaration of Independence, that this was their duty and the first inalienable, God given right, that the Constitution was set up to protect, and that the signers of the Declaration of Independence were willing to die for.
It came down to a school board meeting where the choice was either comply and removing and stopping any acknowledgement of God and disallow prayer or be fired. He was asked by an attorney, “Are you telling me that you are not going to comply with the Supreme Court or Eighth Circuit Court rulings?”
He replied, “I would always comply with their rulings unless they stepped over God’s Laws or the Constitution, and if they did that, they were invalid before they were ever written.”
Greg Thompson’s fidelity to his acknowledgement of God, not unlike the leaders of the Founding Fathers and Founding Educators of America, and the recent decades of moral decay caused by those usurping this right by God and usurping the Constitution, which has led to a rotting moral decay putting children at risk, has led to a career of service to God, family and country. He was the Division 8 President of Locomotive Engineers from 1974-84. He was Principal and Superintendent of Schools in Miami, Missouri, 1995-98, and Superintendent of Schools in Humansville, Missouri, 1998-2004. He was president of the Ozark School Superintendents from 2000-04, chairman of the State Sportsmanship Committee 2002-04, and was asked to be on the State Performance Committee in 2002. In 2005, he became an ordained minister.
His work and his personal convictions has led to recognition by his peers, including a proclamation from the city of Miami, Missouri, the Christian Life Commission Award, the Eagle Award from Phyllis Schaffly’s Eagle Forum, and special recognition by Judge Roy Moore and other leaders from coast to coast.
