ACLU Sues H.S. Over Club Including Gays

Some kid in CA tried to start a club for white kids and she was hounded out of school.

I think another reason for the insistence on starting a GSA club in high school has to do with the fact that Focus of Family is based in Colorado Springs. Liberals activists wish to use this issue to "give the finger" to James Dobson.

The AC in ACLU stands for Anti-Christ.

{this joke of a group simply whines and whines, writes anonymously in to the school newspaper, and generally does not make a good account of any single member.}

If the 7 students are allowed to form the GSA club, don't be surprised if they come up with a "study" documenting hundreds of "homophobic" incidents at the high school and demand that the school adopt policies which would protect them from "homophobic" attacks. If the school refuses to pander to them, then the ACLU will sue to have the GSA proposals implemented. This is how a lot of GSA clubs act in numerous schools across America.

Lou Dobbs just had a story tonite about a school that had Santa Claus to see the kids last year. He was a minister and he made the mistake of asking the kids why Christmas was celebrated. A child said it was Jesus' birthday.

Well, of course, the ACLU got all over that one, so he won't be asking kids any questions this year. An interviewed ACLU member said she would prefer that he not ask that kind of question.

One mother said that she thought it was a legitimate question to ask. Even if you are not a religious person, most people are aware of why Christmas is celebrated, and it's not because it's a huge retail holiday. The ACLU woman actually said, "What would happen if you asked a Buddhist child, a Muslim child?"

Well, I would expect that if a Buddhist child or a Muslim child in America didn't live in a cave somewhere, he would answer Jesus' birthday. Most people consider Jesus' birth an historic event.

We have students in CA who are taking classes in the Muslim religion and we also have schools that completely marginalize Christianity.

It's time to tell public school officials that they either ignore ACLU complaints about Christian holidays or they're going to lose Christian students.

[Kuksool]

Many school districts offer day-offs for Muslim Holidays. If students ask teachers why are they off these days, I doubt the ACLU would complain if teachers talk about Islam. The ACLU supports the "Separation of Church & State", not the "Separation of Mosque & State".

instead of fighting by actually creating the club, we've decided to just talk about the club and get more "members", all the while in front of all the kids trying to start the GSA.

also myself, and many others, constantly make blatant statements of disgust about this entire situation around the kids starting the club.

new evidence shows that only 1 out of the 7 is gay. evidence? one of the girls helping to start us (one of the straight ones) told us...


the way i look at it:
-if they lose, i get my film club, it's cirriculum based.
-if they win, i get my film club, and any other club i could ever want to start. especially our "All Ethnicities White Supremecy Club"


isn't the ACLU supposed to recognize constitutional rights? i never realized there was a statement in the constitution saying "homosexuals can have straight people create clubs for them". curious...

The funny thing about the gsa if it were to be a club is that the club would be full of straight guys, saying 'bring on the lesbians'

i'd like to "give the finger" to James Dobson. Co Spgs is one of the most disturbed cities due to the over-running of focus on the family. and i fully support gay rights and all that, however this is definately inappropriate and going fully overboard.

i'm 18, but as a student i have no rights. and it's the same for every homosexual, minority and everybody else. not because they're gay or because they're black, but because WE ARE STUDENTS. freedom of speech is lost upon us. they can cry as much as they want, but they obviously haven't paid any attention in the last 12 years they've been in school

“Have you ever walked down a high school hallway? The stuff you hear is crazy. This club is about not having to hear ‘fag’ or ‘dyke’ every 10 minutes.”

why'd you bold it? i go to palmer and nobody says "dyke", that just sounds stupid. "fag"? well yea that's used, but who's to say it's not referring to a bundle of stick (haha, right). no, but seriously folks, our current society has changed our perceptions. The word "gay" used to only mean happy. a "fag" is a cigarette in Great Britian. words change, meanings change. the fact that "gay" means happy, homosexual, and now 'bad' (in some sense or another) just shows a language and culture change.

there are plenty of words with multiple meanings, and without changes like this our language would never grow? for most people it is not, and has never been, a thought of "oh, i hate homosexual people... we call them gay... well then other stuff i don't like is gay"

i know plenty of gay and bi kids who say "that is so gay" and don't think twice about it. it's this sort of hypocritical bullshit that is pulling American society down the tube: and we wonder why other nations don't like us.

I bolded it because I was going to make a comment about how stupid a statement it was.... You did a nice job of making the comment for me.
