"BHS students show eighth graders that name-calling hurts"

This is news to eighth graders? That's why they do it.

Wah, wah, wah.

"Asian Awareness Club"? Sounds like a boring club to me. What do they do--sit around and bemoan the fact that there aren't more Asians on the football team?

Kindergarten Republicans used to call me a Spineless RINO on the playground.

"He's a spineless RINO

Na-na-na-na-na-na"

Then I eventually grew a spine and became more conservative by, oh, 3rd grade or so.

[50sDad]

This really readys kids for the real world, where no one will every call you a name.

[KarlInOhio]

So is Asian Awareness for Asians or just whites who are aware that Asians exists? Or since the other group had to do with sexual identity, maybe Asian Awareness is for guys who like Asian women.

ROFLMAO!

WIS Principle Robin Goeler said that he and other teachers have been enthusiastic about the annual assembly entitled "Worse Than Sticks & Stones: Why Name-Calling Hurts Everyone"

Sounds like Principle Goeler doesn't remember what it's like to get smacked by sticks or stones.

Worse Than Sticks & Stones

I suggest that all students take a pledge not to indulge in name calling any more. Instead, they should promise to only throw rocks at the homosexuals.

[RedBeaconNY]

SUCK IT UP, pansy boys. Life ain't all a walk through the daisies.

[TASMANIANRED]

Teasing is a two edged sword.

When you don't use it to sit around in a self absorbed pity party you just might develop some coping skills and build character.

Homosexual Agenda Ping!

I am assisting in pinging the list.

FReepmail me and DirtyHarryY2K if you want on/off the ping list.

FYI: No Name-Calling Week, a project of GLSEN (Gay Lesbian Straight Education Network) and Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing (village indoctrination) in collaboration with more than 40 leftist and liberal education organizations, officially kicked off in politically correct schools nationwide today. The project is aimed at indoctrinating grades five through eight into embracing homosexuality as 'normal', but students and educators at other grade levels can easily adapt the propaganda program and materials.

Guys wo like Asian women?

Sign me up, dude!

We're talking about 12-14 year olds who are on an active hormonal drive for the next few years.

It would be less expensive to just buy each student a dictionary and teach them to use it. Name-calling is a sign of one who knows they have lost an arguement and have depleted their vocabulary.

Freaking amazing - when I was a kid, the response to name-calling was, "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me." It was a sane response and served a good purpose. Now days, they get some psycho psychologists to determine that it's easier to protect kids from life instead of teaching them to deal with it. End result - a citizenry of emotional cripples that are told that it's OK to be emotional cripples because life really should be kind and fair.

Stuff it, soaphead!
