Jeez, makes my old "sliderule club" sound pretty exciting after all.

Never belonged to a club, but I did use a sliderule back in the '60s...

Last night, ironically while I was FReeping, one of our social work students came into my workplace, the library. He was openly (& noticeably) gay, but a generally nice guy.

He was about the graduate. He told me how he enjoyed social work school, in spite of some of the professors who were "homophobic." (This is a religious college.) He said he wanted to bring the head of the gay-lesbian-bi-tranny alliance to meet with other students (most of whom are religious or conservative).

He then said he was worried about starting life in the "real world." I don't blame him at all. Wait till he finds out it ain't like Manhattan.

Not only that, it teaches kids not to be discerning. As a result it makes them much more vulnerable, to troubled kids who otherwise might have been detected by the instincts of other students, ie: something is wrong here. Not to mention instincts as far as someone targeting them, sexually. What ever happened to stranger danger?? What ever happen to if someone makes you uncomfortable, listen to your instincts, and get away, tell you parents or a police man?

when I was a kid, the response to name-calling was, "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me."

When I was a kid, the accepted practice -- well, maybe not accepted, but effective -- was going up to the kid and breaking his nose with your fist.

You'd be surprised how well that worked.
