Hypocrisy of Free Speech in Schools

Earlier this week I wrote about a Federal Judge which upheld censorship in a public school. The decision came in response to a student who wished to protest the “Day of Silence” which encourages students to show visible support for homosexual lifestyle by refusing to speak during the school day, while conveying written messages in the form of T-shirts, buttons, and stickers, all of which promote homosexual behavior.

Yesterday a Michigan student was suspended yesterday for writitng the words “I’m Straight” on a piece of duct tape and placing it on his T-Shirt.....

that’s a failure of the parents and the community to sit down and give firm directions about fairness.

it cannot be one and not the other in a “democracy”.

it has to be all of the above.

“......student suspended for writing “I am sraight”......” Of course if he’d written “I’m a Queer”, he would have been praised for being progressive and open minded.

A Christian student has been punished by his Michigan high school for demonstrating opposition to a school event celebrating the homosexual lifestyle. The boy’s father, a pastor, says he’s frustrated the rights of Christian students are being constantly trampled on campus.

Oakridge High School in Muskegon, Michigan, is one of many schools across the U.S. that took part in Wednesday’s “National Day of Silence” — an event promoted heavily by homosexual activist groups, which view it as a day to protest alleged discrimination faced by students who identify as “gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender (GLBT).” At Oakridge High, duct tape was passed out for students to wear over their lips as a way to show solidarity with homosexual students who are purportedly suffering in silence.

John Gardner is pastor of Holton Family Life Worship Center in Holton, a community of approximately 2,500 about 17 miles northeast of Muskegon. Pastor Gardner says his 15-year-old son David, a student at Oakridge High, was suspended for a day by the school because he wrote with a black marker “I’m straight” on a piece of duct tape and attached it to his shirt. He explains that David donned the message to voice his objection to the school’s participation in the Day of Silence.

“They asked him, at that point, to take it off,” Gardner says, “and David [asked] why do the rest of the kids in the class get to wear theirs and I can’t wear something about what I believe?” According to the pastor, the teacher then instructed David to remove the message or he would be “kicked out” of class. “And he said, ‘Well then, you’ll have to kick me out’ — and that’s what they did,” says David’s father.

Celebration of Diversity bump!

Calling it “Hypocrisy” is beside the point. It is the first sign of dominance by one group over another. The homosexuals, Sharptons etc. are merely laying down the law.

Thuis kid has more balls than any of the politicians on Capitol Hill and any of the front runners running for President.

Good example of the sick, twisted queer agenda that liberal leftist academia IS FORCING DOWN THE THROATS OF STUDENTS WITHOUT PARENTAL PERMISSION. If I had to educate my kids again, they WOULD NEVER GET NEAR A LIBERAL GOVERNMENT dung heap that they dare to call schools.

“...which encourages students to show visible support for homosexual lifestyle by refusing to speak during the school day.”

If I were one of the teachers I think I would plan an oral test that day. Libs always claim that shirts protesting this day of “silence” cause distraction and interruptions in the learning process. What better way to fight fire with fire than showing that the day of “silence” itself has the same effect?

[NavySon]

“...WITHOUT PARENTAL PERMISSION.”

Kill as many of your children as you want if you’re a woman, but have a say in what your children learn? THAT’S OUTRAGEOUS!

Here’s a conspiracy theory you won’t see Michael “Moore chins” promote: The lunacy in public schools is meant to increase the number of abortions. (Hitlery feeds off the souls of aborted babies)
