The ACLU + Gay Rights + Public Schools + The Internet

Posted by on Tue, May 19, 2009 at 2:24 PM

What will the homophobic conspiracy theorists have to say about this?

The American Civil Liberties Union and the ACLU of Tennessee sued two Tennessee school districts in federal court today, charging the schools are unconstitutionally blocking students from accessing online information about lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender issues. Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools, Knox County Schools and as many as 105 other school districts in Tennessee use Internet filtering software to block Web sites containing pro-LGBT speech, but not Web sites touting so-called "reparative therapy" and "ex-gay" ministries.

They said that a domestic partnership bill would result in "teaching that gay marriage is normal and healthy in public schools." This formula of sin, God only knows, will result in kidnapping babies from maternity wards and tossing them into Butt Plugs, Bath & Beyond.

Praise the LORD! I'm no longer a sodomizing homo. Thank you jesus for your salvation. What's that? You want me to give the church a donation?

Hehe @4).

And first, I love the ACLU.

Second though, I always thought it was weird that the bigots would say that these domestic partnership laws would make it so that teachers would teach kids in school that it's ok to be gay.

Teachers do that anyway. They also teach them about global warming and evolution. They teach things. Crazy like that.

God it must suck to be wrong so much.

Link leads to an article about a Catholic Church preventing a transgendered child from attending school as herself. They want to force her to live as a male, despite therapist and parental support.

Oh yeah- I meant to add the reason why is because the "school has to be a peaceful, positive environment for everyone." Everyone except for one that doesn't matter in their eyes, right?

Teaching gay marriage is normal and healthy... umm, ISN'T it normal and healthy? So what's the big deal in teaching that?

In primary classrooms we often talk about our families. What's a kid with two daddies supposed to do? Leave the room? Hear his dads are going to hell? No, the kid's family is just as normal and healthy as any other. Honestly, I don't UNDERSTAND some people.
