Jennings, as quoted in NEA Today, says the "safe schools" initiative is "not about how you feel about gay people, it’s about making sure all of our students achieve.”

If the NEA wants students to "achieve" then they need to start educating and quit pushing their leftist agenda.

Couldn't agree more. Thank goodness I live in a 'right to work' state and cannot be forced into the NEA.

Education Ping

[Digger]

Yea, so. What are the parents going to do? They all ought to get their acts together & pull their children out of these schools. Liberalism just keeps rolling but ole RUSHBO says we are getting more conservaive. What a joke.

[llevrok]

school safety? You mean NOT getting your eyes scratched out?

[word_warrior_bob]

There is no honest debate here.

Does there curriculum mention that homosexuality was treated as a mental disorder until politcal pressure in 1974?

Is it discussed that homosexuality can be tied to early childhood development disorders? Molestation?

Do they tell the stories of people who have been treated by psychiatrists and lived their lives out as happily heterosexual?

How do you explain trendy lesbians?

If only one side of a debate is presented it is not education it is indoctrination and propaganda.

Shame is a useful tool (remember the dunce cap) and liberals all hard at work to remove it. We've let them make great strides. If they can defeat the social stigma that exist against homosexuals then you'll see the number of homosexuals rise. This has already started. It also applies to every other undesirable trait that a member of society could have. Ignorance, laziness, lust, etc. You can look at the Bible for what fruits are undesirable in a person if you want to know which ones the liberals are trying to bring about.

If we let shame die as a societal tool we'll get what we deserve - and it won't be good.

the educators' union is "committed" to fighting harassment, bullying, and discrimination aimed at those students.

What about nerds?

Nerds are harrassed.
Nerds are bullied.
Nerds are discriminated against.

But can we they expect support from the NEA?
No.

[Raycpa]

This is so gay.

[I'm ALL Right!]

it’s about making sure all of our students achieve.”

Bull. It's about making everyone feel "adequate" and letting nobody "excel". One student's success might make another one feel badly about his/herself. BARF.

Gee, I hate to bring this up, but speaking as an English and history teacher, my plate is full trying to teach students how to read, write, and think rationally. If a student is a homosexual, I can't imagine at any time when their sexuality is any business of me or has any business being in my classroom. The same goes for the vast group of hetereosexuals, the tiny group of asexuals, and the small community of insightful teenagers who are extremely bored with everything, especially the dull drumbeat of narrow leftist thinking that they call "fascism lite."

Interested in writing an essay? Comparing the Roman republic with the men who composed the American constitution? Want to know how to spell and use proper grammar in a sentence? I'm your man. Otherwise, I want to have nothing to do with the sexuality of any student, in any form, in any manner. That's the province of the family, the parents, the community, and the church.

I must be a bigot.

"Safe schools?"

Think of all the lives that could be saved if educators encouraged kids to smoke cigarettes instead of experimenting with homosexuality. You can't smoke enough tobacco to reduce your life expectancy to that of the average gay male...

My 14-year-old nephew wanted to join his school's "gay-straight alliance" just "to show support for them." Would my sister ever consider pulling her kids out of her great gov't school system? Never. Have to get the kids into a good college, doncha know.

"I teach physically handicapped children," she notes; "my kids look different from everyone else in very obvious ways, and kids like mine are much more likely to get bullied and harassed at school."

Is it any wonder that children act like extras for the "Lord of the Flies" movie?

Institutionalizing children for their education is an abnormal social situation for children. In 150,000 years of human existence segregating children by age, and herding them about like cattle to the sound of Pavlov's bells, never existed. If resurrected today, our human ancestors would be blinking in amazement at what we do to children.
