But I guess it's ok if the Christian students feel threatened by the pro-gay activities.

"School districts need to be one of the safest, if not the safest, place for students to expand their thinking."Hilarious. School districts are for students to be indoctrinated into good little socialist cogs.

Soooo, being straight is evil now? Or is it okay to be straight still, but heterosexuality is subject to a "dont ask, don't tell" policy now, while homosexuality is not?

"It seems to me kids are being discriminating," Tangorra said. "It makes people uncomfortable. It's like if someone was wearing a white supremacy T-shirt."So making people uncomfortable is discriminatory? What's the difference between having a "Gay Pride" week and having a "White pride" week? After all, gays and whites are born that way, right?

"It seems to me kids are being discriminating," Tangorra said. A bigoted superintendent that doesn't know simple grammar. They should get rid of him.

"Living in a free society, people can't feel threatened to live any way they want to be,"Uh, hmm...that statement has many problems. First, sometimes people feel things for no good reason. Second, if the society is free, then shouldn't that leave people free to criticize opposing ideas? Third, for a group that thrives on a false phobia charge against its opponents, it's hypocritical for them to make any point using the emotional "feel threatened" excuse.

You shouldn't ask liberals complex questions like that. It will make their heads explode. On second thought, that might not be so bad (if a little messy).

It's not his grammar that's the problem, it's his knowledge of word meanings.
If I say "It seems to me that x is being discriminating," I am attributing to x well-honed (aesthetic) sensibilities in whatever narrow context my utterance is made, but I am speaking grammatical English. (Were I to want to attribute the same fine aesthetic sensibilities to x more generally, I would say, "It seem to me that x is discriminating.")

"It makes people uncomfortable. It's like if someone was wearing a white supremacy T-shirt." Proudly announcing your sexual orientation as heterosexual is equivalent to white supremacy, but for sodomites it is called "Gay Pride"!
What contorted logic.

You dont understand, Its ok for straights to feel threatened by faggots who are being quiet, but it isnt ok for the fags to feel threatened by a T-shirt.

Cosimo Tangorra, superintendent of Trumansburg schools, said he supported the decision of high school officials to send the students home. 
The Superintendent is seen here at a recent "Diversity Awareness" festival wearing the ceremonial garb of a member of the Pochahinie Tribe. (:^*)
