Florida School District Might Cut All School Clubs Rather Than Approve Gay-Straight Alliance

Florida's Lake County School Board might ban all extracurricular clubs as a way to avoid having to approve the formation of a Gay-Straight Alliance. Yes, students may have to say bye-bye to their FCA, 4H, and Drama Club membership cards all because some school board members are stuck in the past.

Last year, 14-year-old Bayli Silberstein tried to start a Gay-Straight Alliance at Carver Middle School in Leesburg. Silberstein told WFTV that she was sick of her group of friends being bullied for their sexual orientation, and wanted to form the group to address the problem. But her request had been denied each and every time. So, Bayli's mother contacted the ACLU, and the group sent a letter to the school board reminding them that they've won several expensive lawsuits in the past against schools that refused to let similar groups form.

So how did the Lake County School Board react? They're thinking about just banning all clubs. From the Orlando Sentinel:

School Board members Bill Mathias, Debbie Stivender and Chairwoman Kyleen Fischer spoke in favor of a rule that would ban extra-curricular clubs in secondary schools while fellow board members Tod Howard and Rosanne Brandeburg favored banning extra-curricular clubs only in middle schools.

Fischer said the district should focus on education and that "social engineering" is not the job of the School Board. "It is not our job to socially mentor students, but to educate them," she said.

Basically, in order to comply with the federal Equal Access Act, the board is considering just cutting off everyone's access to forming groups.

Good. Drop all extra clubs. Let the fags complain.

Break out the pitchforks and call forth the Mediacrats from on high, how dare this woman speak truth in our tolerant society.

Better to drop them all than to subsidise perversion.

Let the sickies meet at their local bath house.

I am sure the other groups can meet at someones home or the American legion Hall or at their local Church.

Using the “Punish the innocent” strategy.

Drop all clubs and let the normal kids and ther parents retaliate against the queers for what they did.

[WinMod70]

Outstanding strategy. I am amazed at the stipends the teachers receive for being the advisors to the different clubs in my school districts.

In before the Keyboard Kommando says something ignorant.

Sad that HomoFascism may kill all clubs at school district near where I live.

Wonder if the HateCLU is OK with Beastilaity Clubs or Pedophile Clubs....Bob Menendez might like the latter

I thought we paid for the nice football stadiums.

[Lancey Howard]

This is excellent.

When I went to HS I knew of several openly gay/lesbian students. Even in a school that had a large portion of conservative leaning student, bullying was almost non existent. The ones that did could be counted on my hands. It wouldn’t surprise me if it is a similar situation with a few bullies and the media makes it sound like the poor student has several hundred bullies.

So, the school board is “....stuck in the past....” eh?

Perhaps it would be more appropriate to look into certain other things are are “stuck into things” that they were not designed to be stuck into.

MSM - when you absolutely, positively are so without ability that you cannot even go into politics.

[Lancey Howard]

There's a reason kids today still use phrases like, "That's so gay," as a deragatory comment. It has nothing to do with their upbringing or home environment, and certainly nothing to do with the decadent TV / movie / soundbite culture that surrounds them, a culture which tries relentlessly to brainwash them into "normalizing" homosexuality.

No. Kids understand naturally, instinctively, that there is just something sick about a man pushing a penis into another man's anus full of sh**. It's one of those things nobody needs to teach, and it is why homos instinctively feel ashamed of what they are and what they do, and why they suffer the tears of a clown as they march with fake smiles in fake "pride" parades. All the liberal propaganda in the world can't change human nature and human instinct.

Kudos to this school board for doing the right thing and not caving to the militant homosexual lobby. (By the way, how pathetic is it when people deserve congratulations for simply doing the right thing? But, here we are in Ubama's Amerika.)

Bet they won’t touch any sports programs.

[SoftballMominVA]

I kinda like this.....Instead of worrying about after school stuff, let teachers concentrate on TEACHING. If this type of club doesn’t mesh with the values of the community, why should we have the tyranny of the minority?

[SoFloFreeper]

Maybe the sodomites ought to be the ones who temper THEIR demands.
