There's already a thread, somewhere.
Court rules school can ban American flag shirts to avoid racial strife | Fox News
Link? Sounds like a good thread idea.
No, you don't have to be respectful.
Here is what you said: "The pro-abortion stance has been rolled into the health curriculum."
Here is what I replied; "Proof"?
I'm asking you specifically, if you have ANY proof or evidence that there is a "pro-abortion" stance in a public high school class, in this case called "health."
If that is your opinion, I will respect that and not question it. However, if you are saying that it is factual that health class lessons have a pro-abortion stance, then I'd like to see proof of that.
Please, you are making a spectacle of yourself and your fake indignation is pure tripe. No one gives a **** what any student believes, but spreading that belief is not allowed in school, it is that simple.Catholic schools, homeschooling, charter schools, just get the children out of these liberal cesspools of indoctrination. What a horrible thing, some children actually believe that fetuses should be allowed to live! This is absolute blasphemy to the school administrators and the teacher's union. This terrible failure must be the parent's fault.
APDST - we are talking about students in a school.
Usually being respectful is mandatory. Violating that and the student gets in trouble.

Where does it say that in The Constitution?
And we sure wouldn't want any other views to be expressed that aren't in lock-step with the "wildly inaccurate" ones espoused by the teaching unions that run education and curriculum these days.

We arrived at that point by way of moral relativism and rationalization. We have decided that as long as the result of an action can be deemed positive, the action itself is acceptable, and that any attempt to assign moral implications to an action drifts too far into the realm of religion, thus is unacceptable to consider.
You have the choice to home shool your child and teach them all your knowledge of the Universe.
But yet, they wouldn't permit images of birth outside of the science classroom.
Nor would they permit a pro-choice group.
I guess I'm glad my children's school district is more reasonable and not relying on extremes and shock to terrify students into various views.
Let me see. A pro-life group brings the display in, and it's not political? OK. Anything you say.
Or you have the choice to demand that the taxes you pay to fund public education are used in an unbiased, unpolitical, unideological way.
No - I'm pretty certain that if someone tried to start a pro-choice group and showed aborted fetuses it would cause an uproar and be deemed offensive.
How is the school taking a position? And why are you talking about discussing "the political issue"? We have absolutely no indication that the exhibit was political. It's biology. If that's where the school wants to take it, to the political realm, that's their problem.
People always criticize our public schools for not fostering independent thought. This is a classic example of that.
You have the right to demand anything you wish...You also have the choice not to accept it.
What do you find so shocking about a child in the womb?
I would be. Not that that I have anything against chess....its just that when you open it up to one group, you have to open it to all and there are some after-school groups that I don't think are appropriate for the school day. I have no problem with after-school groups using school facilities including religious groups, gay rights groups etc. But after-school or weekend use allows students an opportunity to choose to participate or not. When it is during the school day, it is more difficult to avoid. If you allow chess, you allow proseletyzing by religious groups during the school day.
Actually, no, you don't have a particular "right" to do so - you have an obligation as a voting member of a democratic society to ensure you do all you can to enforce it.
Usually that is taught in "health' class. Should we hand over teaching on gestation to school groups? Should the information be reviewed by health instructors and sanctioned or denied based on "correct" information?
Hmm - my question is 'why did they allow a pro-life group in a highschool to begin with?'
Odd.
The shocking aspect would be to refer to the fetus a "child" or "baby".
That is why science is left to the science classroom. Many of these students will going on to medical careers. To fill their heads with nonsence is a disservice.
Ok, there are a few things obviously left out of this dust up at this school, and the reporting of it...
1. What's wrong with showing the development of a baby?
2. What was on the poster boards?
3. Don't groups sanctioned within a high school have teacher advisers?
The article leaves questions, such as
1. What was the display depicting?
2. Were the students just educating on the levels of gestation?
3. Why is the development of a child in the womb, "controversial"?
It certainly is told to us that it is fine to broach subjects like homosexuality to kindergartners,are we to think that high school students aren't equipped to see how a baby in the womb develops?
