And when the other boys made fun of him, he would boldly tease them right back by flirting with them. Yes, teach all boys to enjoy males flirting with them.

If a high school girl were to snap and kill a high school boy because she was sexually harassed by him, there would be a strong chorus of support for her from some quarters and it would become a debate over what schools should do to prevent sexual harrassment among students in the future - just as Columbine became an occasion to discuss the prevention of the victims' perceived bullying.

The principal:
"If girls are wearing jewelry, you can't stop boys from wearing it, too," he said. "Each gender has the right to wear what the other does."Gee, didn't work out real well this time, did it. Oh well, it's only one dead kid and one confused teen killer spending life in jail. No reason not to conintue forward with absurd liberal social engineering. Obviously MORE social engineering is needed!! Maybe all boys should be required to wear girls clothes!!!
Ah, the liberal mind. Diseased, decadant, confused. Liberalism *is* a mental disease. Which has killed more Americna teens: Al Qaeda fighters in Iraq or liberal idiots running the schools?

“Larry King was a gay eighth-grader who used to come to school in makeup, high heels and earrings. And when the other boys made fun of him, he would boldly tease them right back by flirting with them.”
“That may have been what got him killed.”
No, his parents allowing him to dress in makeup, high heels and earrings is what most likely got him killed.

Astonishing story. I hadn’t heard about it. Of course the kid shouldn’t have been killed, but comeon, a hate crimes beef against a 14 y.o. who had been harassed by the dead kid? I don’t think so.

If King had flirted with the other boy, "that can be very threatening to someone's ego and their sense of identity," Well, yeah, if the other boy's secret stash ran to bodybuilding publications instead of girlie mags.

"He didn't like people insulting him," said his friend Miriam Lopez, 13. ""Larry was brave enough to bring high heels and makeup to school and he wasn't afraid of anything."13 year olds do not know the difference in meaning between brave and brazen.

So it would be a less big deal if he had been killed by another gay guy, or if he had been straight, or???

If the schools continue to allow sexual harassment by homosexuals, they’re going to see a lot of this.
To: SmithL
People die, kids beat each other, occasionally kids even kill each other....... but when a gay kid gets killed, why then of course it's a special event in history with books, and movies made, politicians making statements about the horrors of discrimination and hate, the anti-gun folk will jump on their bandwagon, and of course the gays will use this in their crusade to preach the greatness of their gayness to all the little boys and girls in schools (This sort of stuff is best taught at a really young age according to them).
I have an idea. One kid killed another kid and the one committing the crime gets punished in accordance to the law in a way that is fair and consitent, which of course already today has “special” classes of extra special people. You see, my wife, she's just a normal Christian Caucasian heterosexual piece of $hit born in OH. But if she were “special” and someone killed her, i.e. she were black, gay, Muslim, or from Timbuktu, well then whoever took her from me or her kids would be also charged with a “hate crime.” It's nice to know that in America justice is blind, that we are all equal.

“demands that middle schools do more to educate youngsters about discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.”
No teach them murder is wrong and punishable by death in some places.
To: SmithL
The real travesty is the breakdown of order and oversght in the school environment. There is no excuse for this fiasco to have happened. The authorities and the victim's parents as well were derelict in not reining in manifestly inappropriate sexual behavior. The sad fact of the matter is they set up this tragedy just as if they'd planned it.
Now two kids' lives are ruined and all the smug einsteins can have a field day.

To: SmithL
The slaying of the 15-year-old boy has ... led to demands that middle schools do more to educate youngsters about discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. How about demands that boys in public school NOT dress up in high heels, makeup, and earrings and flirt with other boys? How about demanding that people NO MATTER WHAT AGE keep their sexual orientation to themselves?
The need to "educate youngsters about discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation" is absurd on its face. Children don't have to be taught -- they naturally discriminate against homosexuality because homosexuality is abnormal.
More profound, in the Judeo-Christian ethic that molds all of Western civilization and which has, over the past 2,000 years, clearly proven itself far and away the most successful model for human thriving and dignity, homosexuality is specifically mentioned as something to be rejected and discouraged, and we can probably assume that homosexuality is just another condition of mankind, that it has always and will always be with us -- it's our challenge to deal with it properly. We may not fully understand Biblical reasons for discouraging it, but we IGNORE and DEFY at our peril the instruction to reject homosexualty. The smartest, most dignified thing to do is to usher it back in the closet where it belongs. If you're a homosexual, exhibit it at your own risk.
You can't fool mother nature and you can't fool kids. What the Gay Agenda enablers really mean is that they see the need to override kids' instictive reaction to reject homosexuality and to force them to go against their own natures in accepting it as "normal." It's not normal, it never will be, and all the forceful insistence of gay "rights" activists cannot change that any more than they could make two plus two equal five.
