Wouldn't that about cover it?

In a "normal" society, yes, that would cover it! However, those who like to "push buttons" would sue (and with all the liberal judges, they would more than likely win) causing schools to stop standing up to the idiots and button-pushers!

Schools should be a place to go to learn reading, writing, arithmetic, civics and science! The only other things offered should be either college-prep courses or specific accredited vocational courses! That way when a student graduates they are either prepared to go to college or prepared to offer worthy skills to their local community.

And note, I said "OFFERED!" That means, if I don't think my child needs any of those courses, then they do not have to take them!

“...a district policy requiring teachers to remain “neutral” on issues of sexual orientation has fostered oppressive silence and a corrosive stigma.”

Not teaching propaganda is “oppressive”? This is the statement of a dictatorship, in particular that of National Socialists and Communists.

I've got an idea. How about no mention of homosexuality at all in schools, either officially or by students? No "gay" anything, no Day of Silence, no "gay" clubs, nothing. Problem solved.

The whole "gay bullying" issue is nothing more than another effort by the sex-positive freaks to talk dirty to other people's kids. They use the subject as an entry point to discussing deviant sex acts and attempting to normalize them in the minds of these kids.

Exactly. It's a way to shut normal people up, and give perverts a megaphone. And destroy children.

What’s “bullying”?

The Obammunists new anti-"bullying" website has your answers. Here are the new, Orwellian, universally-applicable definitions that will bring screeches of lawsuits from any liberal:

Bullying can take many forms. Examples include:

• Verbal: name-calling, teasing
• Social: spreading rumors, leaving people out on purpose, breaking up friendships
• Physical: hitting, punching, shoving

Notice that physical bullying, what we've always known as REAL bullying, is at the end of the list.

So if you "dis" a fag, you're a hateful bully now.

little kids saying they like the same sex need to be put aside and told that they have no clue what they're talking about. As for bullying then I know it's different today, back just 15 years ago at school the way to stop a bully was to hit back now we have a bunch of fairies as teachers who must have been bullied because of their weird different lifesyles who seem to think reading books etc about bullies is to stop them Always has been the strong, the weak, the rich and the poor that is how it is and the sooner some of these whacked out kids and some public school teachers understand this the better for the west. My oldest has two kids who think they're vampires, another girl cuts herself , he told me she was a emo and another boy who says he drinks blood, all kids aged around 13 Then last year one girl told the school bus she was a bi. All the kids said she was weird, and it is wrong. Guess what the next day she said she was only joking and she isn't. See when people and kids speak up for normal ways the whacked up kids shut up and then come back into society

exactly

any kid and there was one at my kids middle school saying they like both or the same sex need to shut the hell up.
It just so happens that when this girl said this the other kids told her she is being weird, stop looking for attention, we’re built in such a way because that is how it is etc
Next day this girl tells all the kids she was only joking and that she was looking for attention.

BTW This girl is all messed up with a mother who never looks after her.

There is no excuse for any kid saying this as if you bring kids up the right way and tell them the dangers of the left from an early age then they will become productive people.

said the same thing to the principle.

It is my job as a parent to raise my children and be there for them at all times as well as bringing them up socially and to help teachers with education.
It is the teachers job to educate on the more important educational matters.

Do we really think that kids out in India or China are being taught this new social lifestyle , of course not.
Then the teachers union wonders why the American education is coming nearly last.

I see now the white house has sent their puppets out to all public schools and to have parents sign what their kids are eating, what exercise they are doing.

Let’s see...

I got picked on because I wore glasses, I didn’t socially “fit in” as a middle-schooler, had braces, and so on, getting picked on is part of life, which either makes or breaks you. Hopefully, home life is decent enough to give a little respite when the day is over.

There are many really screwed up kids now, compared to when I was in high school. Broken families, single mothers with various boyfriends hanging around, sickening media/entertainment influences, and to top it all off, leftist indoctrination in schools. Many teachers’ colleges are staffed with ultra leftists. The older teachers are likely to be much saner!

Your children are learning how to be strong in the face of craziness.
