Missouri Proposes Its Own Version of "Don't Say Gay" Bill

Why do people keep getting more and more ******* crazy? Something has to give eventually...

 

Hands in ears (check)

Therefore gay people don't exist.

 

This bill is gay. *Snicker*

I just don't understand how people can think that not talking about stuff makes it better. I spent 4 years not talking about my Sexuality hoping it would fix itself. NOPE!

:/

Don't you get it? Something already gave way.

 

So tired of the *******e crowd. Even more tired that my tax dollars subsidize these cretins. You are aware that most red states are welfare states in that they get more from Wash. DC than they pay in federal taxes.

 

The mainstream right is getting more and more extreme in terms of social policy. It seems the goal is a society that resembles what it was in the 1800's. If the federal government doesn't become an evangelical, Christian totalitarian state then I'm starting to think lawmakers in these crazy states might start talking about succession.

 

Just let me pack my stuff and cross the Mississippi River into Illinois before Missouri secedes

 

What's the problem? Someone please explain it to me.

"My bill does not target a particular sexual orientation but instead says instruction or materials related to any sexual orientation should not take place in our public schools,"

So not bringing up ANY discussion of sexual orintation is gay hating?

 

Well that's interesting

 

I don't know, I have mixed feelings on this so I thought it better just to say it was interesting . I do think it's a badly worded law that could affect a lot more classes than just the sex ed ones. Still, I don't think it's right for schools to be teaching anything beyond sexual development, safety, and reproduction when it comes to sexual education.

I'm not against homosexuality but I'm not sure how it fits into those categories outside of the usual "It's okay to be gay!" ten minute speech probably given during the development section that kids likely hear everyday anyway.

 

The proposed bill:

The sponsor:

Hate IS taught.

 

He's from southeast Missouri. Why am I not surprised? That's where Rush Limbaugh grew up.

I-55 through the bootheel is lined with Jesus, "pro-family" and all sorts of other offensive billboards. It's a terrible part of the state. I drove through it once, never want to do it again.

St. Louis is the gateway to the west, but I consider Cape Girardeau the gateway to the south. Because that's the dividing line between sanity and inbred, racist, homophobic rednecks.

 

This is where being politically correct gets us.

 

The teacher can still punish the child just as he or she would when witnessing any harassment. I don't see how this law could possibly change that. Teachers don't give lectures about who was harassed and why every time a child is bullied, they deal with the children involved themselves or send them to an administrator.

 

This has nothing to do with political correctness.

 

How freaking condescending, insulting, and just appallingly ignorant.

Cute trick, that "human reproduction" phrase. Presumably, then, it would ban discussion of masturbation as well. No extracurricular activity? Okay, so no clubs for gays, or straight-gay alliances. Oh, and you know that gay kid who wants to commit suicide because of all the bullying? No counseling or support for him. You can't tell him that it's okay to be gay.

Hell, even a communications class couldn't talk about how ads use sex to sell, because that's not related to reproduction.

And I note that it says any public school, so not only primary and high school, but presumably college as well.

Wow. Just wow. It's amazing that these people aren't tarred and feathered.

 

Pretend something doesn't exist and it'll go away!

Right??? Right????

/sarcasm

Seriously this is a step backwards. Teach it as if its NORMAL because it IS NORMAL. Some people are born straight, others are born gay.

Its no different than teaching that some people are born male, and some are born female.
