Discrimination is losing, Equality is winning, equal rights for gays is coming soon!

Re: Discrimination is losing, Equality is winning, equal rights for gays is coming so


Should we though? Should we be using the public education system to shape the morality of children? Is that really that much different than shaping the political outlook of people? Isn't it actually the same thing? Think about it.
 
Re: Discrimination is losing, Equality is winning, equal rights for gays is coming so

In schools, we absolutely should hold students to that. We should "force" them to accept that they cannot be bullys or harass other students just for things like race or religion or sexuality. If they do, they will face punishment.

if someone bullies another or hurts anyone, action must be taken, however i dont have to follow someone else thoughts on other people, its only when i step outside the law, and hurt someone, or infringe on their rights, when i face punishment.

this idea people should be molded from the polices of what the school wants to teach, ..no i am free to think as i will.
 
Re: Discrimination is losing, Equality is winning, equal rights for gays is coming so

I have. but for the sake of it I will one more time.

There is no proof that it is abnormal yet it existes in every culture, every country, every time period. Now you need to prove that wrong, if you dint or can't it must be normal.

that not proof...

people have engaged in animal sex in every culture, does that make that normal....you tell me.

And with holding information about sexuality is not trying to shape the morality?

Yes, we have since schools started existing. Why change now all of the sudden?

the state must step in............here we go!...here we go!
 
Re: Discrimination is losing, Equality is winning, equal rights for gays is coming so


It is best to be proactive about bullying rather than reactive. We do much better teaching children tolerance and anti-bullying no matter their religious beliefs than ignoring it til a child starts bullying another. History easily shows us the truth of this.

it you go back to early education in america and look at early text books, why do they teach the bible in them?

So public schools should be centers where we teach children morality? So you think it's actually wise to have the state teaching future generations morality? You don't find anything off about that at all?
 
Re: Discrimination is losing, Equality is winning, equal rights for gays is coming so


sounds to me, as if your convicting someone before the crime is committed.

Now that is how you do it. I knew you would get it eventually.

Yes it would be normal to expect that, but it isn't acceptable but we don't teach that in school. Homosexuality is acceptable however because we don't lock people up for it we don't execute people for it there is no (reputable) therapy to undo it. So it is now very much part of or culture.

It's pretty much the same as the "private sector failed so lets give the job to the state" argument. Of course, that's hardly surprising since we are talking about public education.

They did the same with you, me my parents my grand parents my grate grand parents. They have to. that is their purpose. Schools as far back as time goes have been doing so.
 
Re: Discrimination is losing, Equality is winning, equal rights for gays is coming so


i am pointing out that becuase something in the past in done, that does not say its always normal, and if i offended to,..that was not my intention, and i am sorry just making a point.

That is hardly an answer. The question is not what they have been doing, but should they be doing it.

Re: Discrimination is losing, Equality is winning, equal rights for gays is coming so


no matter their religious beliefs ..how nice of you.

i dont recall the bible telling anyone to go out a bully anyone.

Public school has been around for a very long time. Longer than the nation in fact the first school was opened in 1635 called the Boston Latin school.

No, that doesn't match the current culture. And those lessons are useless.

The schools job is to disseminate information as effectively as possible.

For example:

" Is homosexuality a disease like people thought in the 50's?"

No it is not nor anything to be ashamed of.
 
Re: Discrimination is losing, Equality is winning, equal rights for gays is coming so

What if its my belief that I can be a bully and my parents support it? The school stepping in and stating its wrong is the school forcing their beliefs on me.

Leave people alone.

Are you kidding me?

Exodus 22:18: "Do not allow a sorceress to live."

sorry but that would be a violation of the law, and the school would be the first line to stop such behavior, ......you can dislike like someone..thats legal, but you cant bother or threaten them.

people can have there own beliefs, but when they take them outside the law, thats where their behavior shall not be tolerated.

this statement goes back to the effect, that she wants the state to step in and instruct people, in what the schools wants over someone religious beliefs.
