True, I just feel the topic is much easier to dismiss out of hand if you take the teacher angle before the students.

A customer of mine is gay and he is excited to be able to be married now in Washington State. His gayness and his marriage has zero effect on my life so why should I care?

God DAMN these liberal schools and their crusade to gayafy their students. It's every American small town's right to maintain a respectable standard of bigotry. First you assholes took away our ability to pick on blacks, next we weren't allowed to mock the Jew people. Now you want to take away our right to condemn the homogays. Look, these liberal teachers come in from these elitist urban schools and think they can dictate to us basic "human dignity." But they're just manufacturing problems. We didn't have no gays before the liberals came. I mean, we still don't. There are no gays in America.

THERE ARE NO GAYS IN AMERICA!

Their not... they're telling teachers it's not their job to teach sexuality. Kids can learn about the existence of gay people from parents, tv, each other, etc...



No they are specifically limiting words they can use. It is still the parents job to teach the kids about this stuff whether they can say the word gay or not.

Then that would be my only issue with this bill, I don't think it goes far enough. They should just say, unless you are a sex ed teacher, don't talk about sex in your class room.

Wait. We aren't allowed to mock the Jew people?


This thread is educational.

Lyken-P stop. The bill says nothing about teaching sex in school. They are saying they can't even say that homosexuals exist. It's akin to saying there are no such thing as left handed people. Do you know who else says there are no such thing as gay people?

They aren't talking about sex, but carry on with your soapbox. I am glad your side is on the losing end of this and I'll end it at that. TN and apparently others here are on the same level as ahmadinejad. Congrats.

Sexuality and sex are two separate topics btw, but I'm quite sure you wouldn't see the distinction in this case (Lyken).
