Makes me wonder: does Hutch have a kid who likes manga? Does Hutch know what "Yaoi" is?

If this is a culture war, I'm hoping that this guy gets treated as an unlawful combatant.

Of course Hutcherson is pimping this issue all over the Christian right gay hate-o-sphere. He's now demanding that both the teachers involved be fired.

Dear Hutch,

They were never really, like, yours in the first place, remember?

Love,

Secular Education

Is it time to say Hutch's antics are no longer funny? Or is making fun of him still the best critique?

Is that a terroristic threat? Someone phone homeland security.

Hutch's daughter attends Mt. Si High School. It was probably she that took the photo for Daddy.

She's also the one that arranged with the principal for Hutch to be the MKL speaker there.

Following in her father's footsteps?

"It's time to take back our schools"

Does he mean from religious nutbags who preach hatred in the guise of an illusionary set of self-defined traditional values, who are blind to the hypocrisy of being seen as an expert on discrimination while practicing an agenda of discrimination and who somehow feel empowered to claim the voice for "our" opinions, thoughts and hopes, all for himself and his peculiar brand of twisted self-aggrandizing proselytism?

If so...then yes, I agree...it's time to take back OUR schools.

(Now, if he was only complaining about weak graphic design...I'd agree too. That poster looks like it's advertising an upcoming performance of Godspell.)

Time to call our the School Board folks. The fight is on.

I don't know who will win the battles, but one thing is for sure: In a culture war, the gays will have the better uniforms.

will we get to use manray guns?

You know, Hate and Fear just don't work well anymore.

Sometimes, America just wakes up, goes to the bathroom, brushes it's teeth, runs a comb thru it's hair and says "Man, I am so not doing that again!"

This is one of those time.

No more Fear.

Stranger Staff ... is there anything that we can actually do about him? I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO sick of talking about him. WHY AREN'T ANY OF US DOING ANYTHING?!?!?

pgreyy @8, I just thinking how well done that poster is, at least by high school club poster standards.

Greg @1 (and disgusted @13), maybe we should bring yaoi to the Hutch's attention.  It doesn't seem too far-fetched that it might catalyze his homophobia into open racism.

Here's an idea: maybe someone could forward to the school administrators that story about Larry King, the gay middleschooler who was shot and killed by a classmate the other day.

Then ask them if they can think of any liability issues that might arise if such a thing were happen at Mt Si High, especially in light of the fact that they recently invited a known anti-gay bigot with ties to violent extremists in Latvia to speak at a mandatory school assembly on MLK Day.

Eh?

That pawprint behind "GSA" must mean they support bestiality. That's what you get for making homosexuality mainstream: kids into furries.

that poster is tacky.

isnt mt. si's mascot some kind of animal with a paw?

Why is WAR capitalized?

@13: I'm in total agreement.

Ken Hutcherson is SO last week. He should totally crawl in a hole and die.

And...

At risk of sounding disrespectful (which is truly not my intention) does anyone else find it seriously unforunate that the boy who was murdered was name Larry King?

@18: Mt. Si Wildcats.

I'm so ashamed I know that, and I've never attended Mt. Si.

And hey Hutch: it's not your school. Bitch about posters in a school you run, not some school you're connected to for four years while your daughter attends it. If you're so offended by her school, do what packs of fundies do and pull her out and homeschool her. That way she can learn where a woman's place is, right?

Jesus fuck.

BTW, nice poster.

The silhouette on the right just gave me a woody.

HEY HUTCH, how bout you take your children out of OUR public schools and send to any wingnut school you choose!!

I think it's better that he keep his kids in public school so maybe they won't grow up and be like him.

Well, All I can say if THANK GOD they are sticking to their own kind on those posters. If they had shown a white cartoon character with a black one, I'd have to walk out in protest

Hutch's kids would walk halfway out with me.

Counting down the time until Hutch gets caught in a gay love tryst. Ten...nine...eight...

Can't wait till Hutch's daughter comes out of the closet...

hutch must really be repressing some desires to have all this pent up anger...

The thing that's fucked up about this is that it's timed to look like a response to the whole incident that happened last month, but take away that pre-existing incident and look at the message here. If the events were reversed time-wise, would anyone have questioned either teacher's reaction to Hutch speaking at the school under the guise of diversity? I mean, besides the apparently terribly naive children who go there and think they've formed opinions and then come here and yell about how they feel the GSA oppresses them.

This is exactly what those teachers were bringing up: Hutch's tendency to call for this kind of "action". It's so obvious that he has, in a way, disarmed the very teachers who would have led the fight against this. Is it a coincidence that those teachers have been effectively put "on notice" by the administration, just in time for this bullshit to surface?

Seriously, the dude makes me shudder with fear sometimes, even as ridiculous as he is. With all the comments that surfaced on slog when Jonah started covering the Mount Si goings-on, it's evident he has more influence than I thought, even though he's a wack-job.

glad to see that the Hutcherson issue still has people wanting to take action. There is a parent-run website that is fighting back against Hutcherson and the Snoqualmie school district's ridiculous and misguided actions: www.mtsiparents.blogspot.com It's quickly becoming the place where folks are getting organized and has all of the latest updates regarding the issue at Mount Si...

Love the poster!...but, given the climate at Mount Si, I'm surprised it hasn't been ripped down by the administration or any of Hutcherson's little goons.

Hutcherson can huff and puff all he wants but as long as the Equal Access Amendment stands, he can't do anything else.

And I know they are going to try and twist that poster to mean something carnal, but that lie won't fly.

That poster is a bit, uh... suggestive?

Let's face it.

Hutch Hutcherson is gay.

He is having a hard (on?) time dealing with it.

I pity his conflicted daughter.

i don't like that the gay couples have a black silhouette and the straight one gets white.
