"O'Harra's children plan to join others who disagree with same-sex marriage to protest the ceremonies. Dissenting students plan to wear red T-shirts — the color of courage, they say — and stand with their backs to the ceremony with signs reading "I don't" — meant to oppose the "I dos" that are the traditional vows of a wedding ceremony, O'Harra said."

...but, but, but that's intolerant [*spit*]

How about a student group advocating polygamy, beastiality, adultery, necrophilia, bigamy, or pedophilia? Or racist, sexist or fascist agendas? You OK there, too, if it's student led?

I'm curious if you have any kids. Have any young, innocent, impressionable children that are the loves of your life, that you would kill for to protect?

The issue here is the common morality of our society. Does it exist any longer? Where are the lines? Are there lines any longer?

Way to put words into someone else's mouth. Michael Moore would be proud of you.

"How about a student group advocating ***snip*** pedophilia?"

Uh... wouldn't that be the teacher's union?

[sgtbono2002]

I just read the Posts man ,Did you or did you not say you would support the students attempts to change the drug laws.

If they decided to have a Heroin shoot up day, using fake heroin of course, Since they didnt really get married,would you or would you not support it?

It was during lunch.

Yep, I'm for free speech, even though I'm against all of those things that you mentioned.

You want to silence dissent or stop people from advocating a change in the law? Then you're opening up the door to people who would silence those who want current abortion law changed, or those who want to advocate repeal of the civil union statute in California. You can't have it both ways. Either evereyone gets to advocate for their beliefs today, or you and I may find ourselves unable to advocate for ours tomorrow.

I'm curious if you have any kids.

I choose not to discuss my family on internet message boards (and not just this one). Too man crazies out there. :)

The issue here is the common morality of our society.

I agree. And I believe the only way to protect the common morality is to let everyone voice their opinion. This is the Freedom we're trying so hard to spread to the rest of the world. It would be such a shame if we lost it in our own backyard.

Or a fundamentalist Christian school for that matter?

I can't really tell, but it looks like you're kind of asking me a few different questions:

Would I support students shooting up heroin at school to draw attention to and protest current drug laws? No.

Would I support students doing some sort of mock heroin shoot-up to to draw attention to and protest current drug laws? I would support their right to do so, but I would not support their goals. Just to be clear, I wouldn't give the students money or participate in their stunt, but I would oppose people who tried to stop them.

See how easy that was? Now we all know how you feel.

Actually, George AFB was in Adelanto. Just a minor point, here in FR, but for the two cities of Adelanto and VV it was a decade long rock-um-sock-um legal battle. Both cities were in my territory back in those days, and I learned a lot about small town politics.

The Victor Valley is one of the most beautiful desert communities you'll ever find. I hope they can get it together. What a shame... :O(

[polymuser]

OK. And the (free) speech in response to the students' free speech, critical or otherwise, shall be equally acceptable and welcomed.

Remember the child speaker at the Democrat convention? And the Democrat response when what she said was critiqued? Talk about shamelessly using children. Anybody steering the group of students performing the mock gay marriage?

I'll wager you don't have a young son.

You are right, and I knew it, but I figured it was like horseshoes, close enough. I should have known better on FR! Ha Ha
