WASHINGTON PASTOR ACCUSES STATE OF RACISM: Ken Hutcherson is going after a government official.
Pastor Ken Hutcherson says he is still pursuing action against the a teacher, George Potratz, at Mt. Si High School in Snoqualmie, Washington, who he says interrupted his Martin Luther King Day speech to voice his opposition to Hutcherson’s Christian views on marriage and sexuality.
Potratz compared Hutcherson’s support for the biblical condemnation of homosexual behavior with advocacy for slavery. Hutcherson perceived Potratz’s comment, in the context of the Martin Luther King Day appearance, as racist and complained to the Washington State Commission on African Affairs.
Hutcherson talked with executive director Rosalund Jenkins, and he is now accusing her of making racist comments. He said she said, “Well, if you were the pastor of a black church, that would have much more impact than being the black pastor over there with a white church, and you’re the one that has chosen...” He took the unspoken words after that to mean “chosen… to live over there with those people (white people).”
Jenkins disputes his account of the conversation. Hutcherson claims, according to the article, that during a second conversation with Jenkins she informed him that there was a homosexual African-American on the Commission on African American Affairs, and “I can basically forget about fighting the issues of racism and homosexuality and have them help.”
Rosalund Jenkins again disputed Hutcherson’s account. She elaborated that she needed a pure claim of racial discrimination to present to the commission. Hutcherson says he will continue to press the Commission for an investigation of Potratz’ comments and the alleged racism at Mt. Si High School and will also continue to battle homosexual activists who are attempting to use the public schools to promote their political agenda.
