How does this hurt other high schools? I don't get it.
Problem solved.
The gay lobby is well on the way to making discrimination against gays equivalent in the eyes of the law with discrimination against minorities and women.
If it's not OK to discriminate against blacks, hispanics, women, etc. in a private school then it won't be OK to discriminate against homosexuals either.
So privatizing schools won't counter this threat.
Even home schooling may come under fire if the state can claim some ability to certify parents. Certification may require that parents teach their children the "wonders" of alternative lifestyles.
Where this is really going to get whacky is when helicopter moms start demanding proms for 1st graders, kindergarteners, and pre-schoolers.
Imagine a couple of pre-schooler "lesbians" showing up at their prom in matching tuxedos.
Will the fecal matter finally hit the rotating wind generating device then?
See: Equal Protection Clause
I do not think people want their children to go to high school dances where folks might be in drag and girls kissing girls and boys kissing boys...
The schools will just cancel the proms altogether.
Just another reason to homeschool your kids.
How does this school’s decision to cave mean other schools will get sued by homosexuals?
PRECEDENT. This school's capitulation sets a legal standard other homo litigants can use in their own suits in every other school district in the country.
Because homosexuals have an agenda. If you haven't understood that by now, then you have lost the moral compass God gave you. We are in a war for the soul of this country, and we are losing because of the unwillingness or the inability of moral people to engage in the same manner as the morally corrupt.
But if they capitulated and settled out of court, does that really establish a legal precedent? I thought a case had to go to completion to establish a legal precedent.
Of course they have an agenda. My question is how does the failure of this school to fight this in court negatively affect other schools. See post 28 for a better explanation.
Amen...why would any parent leave their child's education up to a perfect stranger? Teachers WILL corrupt your kids...
The girls just wanted to go to their prom together. Banning them or telling them what they can’t wear was a very stupid move. What’s the first thing a teenager wants to do when something is forbidden to them? Go out and do it while shouting as loudly as they can get away with. The ‘homosexual agenda’ would have been furthered a lot less if the couple had been allowed to go without a fuss so maybe this is a ‘homophobic agenda’ designed to frighten people into believing they’re under attack from LGBT groups or anyone who lives a different lifestyle.
Should we consider alcoholism normal behavior? Should we encourage teens to be alcoholics?
Since the children are not adults yet, then they should not be engaged in this abnormal behavior.
In nature, if two animals tend to be homosexual, they will die out. Reproduction is a necessity of life. So if animals turn to homosexual behavior rather than taking male/female relationships to reproduce, then that breed of animals will die out...
I’m not saying they should engage in possibly harmful behaviour such as drug taking, I’m saying that anything forbidden becomes more attractive because it’s forbidden.
What do you mean by abnormal? If I take it in the psychological sense of being behaviour outside the norms of society then I still don’t see a problem if it doesn’t cause harm. The only harm you seem afraid of is that all these openly gay people will somehow infect the rest of the human population with homosexuality.
I’m afraid I don’t understand the comparison of homosexuality with alcoholism. At all. Alcoholism is a physical addiction to a drug that can totally destroy lives. I can understand a comparison of drug addiction to love, unrestricted to the choice of partner. Homosexuality is a damaging lifestyle only because of the indignities and scorn they suffer because of people prejudiced against anything that looks different to the way they can imagine life.
Also, I wouldn’t worry about that New Zealand study, chilhood trauma is rightly blamed for many adult problems but homosexuality is not a problem.
Maybe they should have let her wear the tux to the prom. The District would have saved $35k and this would have been old news before it was even news.
The universal symbol is a man/boy dressed in pants and shirt and a woman/girl dressed in a dress.
If the girl had been allowed to go the PROM in a Tux, she might have been stopped for going into the women's bathroom.
Who is to know she is a girl?
Also, as far as I am concerned, that logic that allows homosexuals to dress in a weird way for PROM's would also be logic to allow pedophile's to attend PROM's.
It has been the rule for PROM's that girls wear dresses and boys wear suits/tuxedos.
If you want to change the rules, then why not have a BIKINI or a .
Or just make dress optional -- have a nude PROM.
If you want to change the rules, then why not have a BIKINI or a .
Should have been:
If you want to change the rules, then why not have a BIKINI or a TOPLESS PROM.
