That about sums it up. Big picture though it is all about government power and control. The big government folks take any opportunity to insert themselves into the equation, establish a beach head and then increase their dominion over the people...

Bullying evolves down the same path we saw violence against women and protecting the life of the mother in abortion evolve to include thought -the subjective psychological that only government in all its infinite wisdom can define and police...

Similar furore arose in the day of the “X” caps (Malcolm X) which were answered by “Y” caps.


Maybe I'm mis-remembering, but I thought the answer was caps with "YT" on them (for "whitey")?

Several students complained to high school administrators Monday -- the first day of an anti-bullying "Ally Week" -- when three students wore the T-shirts, which also quoted a Biblical passage advocating death as a punishment for homosexual activity.

The shirts should have had the verse about the unity of man and woman from Genesis, or one of the instances where Jesus commented on it. There's no reason to give dorky administrators an excuse to call your shirt violent.

That is, if these kids weren't plants. I find that use of stoning passages from the Torah by today's Christians is a lib fantasy for the most part.

"It was honestly just really upsetting to me that someone would try to bring that into school," said Joe Adamczyk...

Awww, upset? Did you piss in your panties? Go home and have a good cry?

“You are a Bully” will be the NEW leftist phrase when one disagrees with the progressive agenda.

And then, "bullying is a crime."

And then, "bullying is a felony crime."

Amazingly, I'm not using hyperbole here.

The Supreme Court has ruled on three occasions that students don’t have first amendment rights.

But when a leftist group is allowed unfettered expression for their perversion, and normal people aren't, there's an issue.

It wasn't exactly what they'd planned, but St. Charles North High School administrators said an anti-bullying initiative may have accomplished its goal after a group of students wore "Straight Pride" T-shirts through the hallways this week.

No. The bullies just picked a different target.

This is a nationwide effort to get into the schools. The goal is to stop any disagreement with the homosexual agenda. If you disagree in any way; you are bullying someone.

This can't be stressed loudly and forcefully enough. This is probably the biggest push ever for the wholesale homosexualization of our schools - the most powerful foothold they could attain. Expect permanent programs to be installed, all in defense of "anti-bullying."

They ought to create a test. Some should wear “Gay Pride” T shirts and some “Straight Pride’ T shirts and see what would happen.
