We had our first Gay Pride Week Committee meeting at school.

They are heading over a cliff and they don't even see it.

[Uff Da]

I must be an old fuddy-duddy because I do not see why SEX is a part of the Educational system.........Aren't the pupils there to learn reading, writing, and arithmetic skills???? Not Sexual prowess........It's alarming to know that this type of behavior is condoned.........especially in the school systems.......

[don-o]

This comparing of racism with aversion to sexual perversion is mind numbingly stupid.

Were I a person of color, I would take this remark as a personal insult.

[AmishDude]

He also says gays make better teachers because they are more compassionate.

A discount version of "sun people, ice people".

[Pistias]

GASP! You're so--so--gender-biased! Everyone knows men and women are equal! Somebody get the Federal Re-Education Center on the phone!

[homeschool mama]

**GASP! You're so--so--gender-biased!**

I don't know how old you are but do you remember the musical from the early 60's called Flower Drum Song? There's a song on there entitled *I Enjoy Being a Girl*. It's my life song. I'm a wussie-chick unless you mess with my kid. :oD

[StACase]

Michael claims 75% of primary grade male teachers are, as is he, gay.

If that's true, the public schools probably have just as big a scandal as the Catholic Church,
only we aren't ever going to hear about it from the mainstream media.

[Hacksaw]

Why would the school celebrate people who send the trouser trout out on a fudge finding mission?

[blackbart.223]

"Exactly what is it that queers are so proud of, their pedicures?"

No silly. It's their make up. But seriously, putting butt pirates in charge of children is a dangerous idea. This is one more reason to do away with public schools.

[Lizavetta]

Exactly what is it that queers are so proud of, their pedicures?

I don't get it either. Am I "proud" to be hetero? A woman? A chocolate lover? Should I be "proud" that I'm a meat eater, a blond, or 5'6"? None of these things, including one's sexual preference, is anything to be proud of....it simply IS.

You are not an old fuddy-duddy, you are a right thinking American. Public schools produce graduates that can't write or do math, but by God they know how to use a condom and how to bow before liberal Democrat power mongers.

When does the Straight Pride Week Committee meet?

Straight people aren't permitted to be proud. We must feel ashamed for all of the persecution we are responsible for. Oh, and if you are white, male and straight, you really should just kill yourself now.

Uh oh! They're on to us :>

Blackbart: *****putting butt pirates in charge of children is a dangerous idea

DWSUWF: *****Or perhaps a full-fledged a butt-ranger?

LOL...sorry to be laughing...I've learning alot on this thread but have never heard the terms you two have used. Oh gosh...fofl.

[LuigiBasco]

WOW.. Talk about hitting the nail on the head!! Right on StACase!!!

[galt-jw]

question to ask gay activists:

should sexual orientation be an issue, in general, or not?

gay activist ideology says sexual orientation is irrelevant.

gay activists portray sexual orientation as a passkey to special priveledge and draw attention to sexual orientation as an issue.

so which is it?

[Brad’s Gramma]

Should I be "proud" that I'm a meat eater,

SHAME ON YOU!!!!! No, you should NOT be proud that you slewed/slain/killed/ran over/ended the life of some poor defenseless animal so you could EAT IT!!!!! (/sarcasm OFF!)

[blackbart.223]

"LOL...sorry to be laughing...I've learning alot on this thread but have never heard the terms you two have used."

I call a spade a spade. Glad you got a laugh out of it.

Bart.

[homeschool mama]

Still laughing. Can't wait til hubby wakes from his nap so I can tell him too. fofl

A) I'm a guy. I'm not a fruit, therefore, I know nothing of these "musicals." (OK, OK, I've seen Grease, but only because it made my girlfriend at the time happy--but I didn't like it. The musical, that is;) ).

B) Not old enough. Product of the 80's/90's, unfortunately.
