I agree with you Rowen. And the idiot that replied to you…Yes my kids have been bullied for being Christians. Do they seek special treatment? NO. They have been teased and harrassed for quietly folding their hands and silently saying a prayer before lunch. YES some kids are teased because of the way they look, because of they way they dress and because of the people they associate with. (good arguement on your part). Children are teased for many reasons NOT just because they are gltb. My daughter befriended a child in her class they EVERYONE teased for being fat and being “sensitive” (a crybaby). Now my daughter suffers the ridicule of reaching out to this child. I’m proud of her that she stands up for this child and she endures the ridicule!!!!! She know’s in her heart she is doing the right thing. And yes being GLTB is a CHOICE. It’s called SIN and it goes back to biblical times….it was condemned in the bible. (as it should be). You make a choice. It’s called having self control and turning from sin no matter how difficult it is.

Also a guy and a girl aren’t supposed to be holding hands in school…most every school I’ve been to has a policy of “NO display of public affection” So whether they are GLTB doesn’t matter. YES it is trying to change peoples beliefs and make us more “tolerant” of sin. If EVERYONE WAS GLBT THEIR WOULD BE NO MORE CHILDREN AND LIFE WOULD CEASE!!!!!!

All children should be accepted, but their sexual desires SHOULD NOT BE PART OF SCHOOL!!!! We don’t send our kids to school for dating…they are their for an EDUCATION and only an education!!!!! Where’s the equality for ALL children? You scream seperation of church and state and tell me it’s a free country, but want GOD removed from everything. I can’t wear a shirt with religious implications on it, but you can openly flaunt your sexuallity?!!! Get informed and be consistant!!!! I”ll let you be “openly gay” but you let me bring my bible to school to read during my free time and allow me to wear my “Jesus freak” shirts.

OK looking over the law…mmmm I don’t see anything explicitly saying that any sort of ‘leftist’ ‘homosexual’ ‘sinful’ ‘sexual choice’ agenda will be forced down the kids throats… Nothing at all about the process of education, or the addition or removal or ban of any curriculum. It only really mentions that harassment, discrimination, or threats will not be tolerated and the victim has the ability to sue if normal means of remedy fail.

Maybe I’m on another planet. But just because a group of people loudly trying to get a good bill that would protect all our kids in the end, should be killed with fire because the people in the group have different feelings about relationships? Heaven forbid us progressive and oh-so-free Americans shake off our puritan roots. Seriously, our ancestors placed boards between couples in bed and made them use silly wispier pipes… and burned various ‘witches’ and other sinners…we just gotta keep to those traditional roots boys…

hmmm I’ll make a quick crazy conspiracy theory here…maybe many people don’t want to have this law passed because if it gives minority groups, and other put down groups, the ability to seek legal (Read: $$$$) action. Many school districts, teachers, students, and their families might be awash in lawsuits; since the problem is so widespread, we might see entire school districts close, or get absorbed into other districts. A huge wave of lawsuits could wash over the school system…

hmmm that doesn’t seem so crazy now when you think of it…

Also, when I was in grammer school…I was beat up several times, by the same kids.
I was white, they were black. My parents went to school to get help. Nothing but warnings. Then I took another beating for opening my mouth! Was I depressed, yes. However, one day when I was bullied and beat up again…I raised my fist and struck back…to let them feel pain as I had suffered. It all ended…no more problems. DId I kill myself…no. RESOLVE…if you kill yourself, you resolved it recklessly…you did not love yourself, which no one can do for you. And…Did I ask for a law to protect me? No. Will laws protect you…NO. People break them anyway. Does it help to pass laws, no.
Children are still raped, women raped, people sold off as sex slaves. Moral clarity cannot be regulated by laws. God loves us, given us life…but do we have reverence for God? Here is our true issue…we sin against God and ourselves…and ask governments to protect us? Wake up.

The big issue here is that people…just as black americans were discriminated….yet they did not kill themselves…enslaved, raped, brutially abused emotionally and socially…and economically. The rejected and enslaved people learned to rise above the abuse…they did not kill themselves. Those who kill themselves, found an excuse…to carry out something beyond their sexual state. WAKE UP EVERYONE, If your gay…GROW UP, TOUGHEN UP, AND STOP THE PITY PARTY!!! Maybe they killed themselves, because they did not really love themselves…which in a nutshell, is why people kill themselves, not because other people disappove. SHOULD WE PASS LAWS ABOUT NOT LOVING OURSELVES? I am not decieved, neither should you.

It is already illegal to haze, harrass, or menace anybody for any reason, and therefore, this act is not necessary. Besides, the real reason for this act is not to discourage the behavior of bullies, but to try to force people, by law, to accept sinful and offensive sexual behavior. The Student Non-Discrimination Act constitutes attempted vandalism of our society, as it seeks to stifle those who are willing to speak the truth about homosexualtiy.

OK, then we will discuss ethics, what is deemed acceptable by the majority. I know as well as you do that morals are subjective, but this bill is not just about keeping students and schools from discriminating against other students, that has just been pushed to the forefront seeing that it’s the easiest to defend. If you look into all the things this bill actually contains, you will find that it would mandate that homosexual behavior to be taught in sex-ed classes. I realize that I may be in the minority when I state that I believe sex-ed should be taught to children by their parents, but I definitely don’t think that the views of a few should be impressed upon our youth as normal acceptable behavior. You cannot tell me that every student in 5th grade is ready to learn about how the reproductive organs work and as my teacher stated that, “sex is messy.” Much less have activities described to them that the the majority deems unacceptable. These are direct attacks on many people’s religions and beliefs. In that case why don’t we just teach what the white supremacists believe, I mean they do believe that they are morally right and after all it’s just information, the students can do with it what they will. We cannot take this view on matters so pertinent to the future of our children. This bill will also protect LGBT’s from being punished for propositioning or coming on to other students, under their right of “freedom of self-expression”. There are countless other issues that this bill pushes, that are direct infringements on rights that are already established.

This is so funny! “Radical homosexual agenda?” It’s ridiculous.

But I agree that bullying has no place in schools. We have stood up for people who are different or in a less powerful position — girls, members of minority groups, and so forth — and we need to make sure that this principle is maintained. The heretical aspects of the bullying aside (Who are we to question God’s creation of gays?) it is the only decent thing to do.

No one is asking for your approval, we DEMAND equal treatment under civil law.
