No, sex is a private thing. Sexuality is a part of human interaction. You're just going to have to do better than this absurd notion because I don't think anyone here is buying it.

Students have the right to Free Speech in school as long as it is not disruptive, lewd and does not interefere with the educational process.

Clearly, the school decided that the tee was disruptive on some level, and therefore took action.

I'm glad that you put 'gay agenda' in quotes, because no such thing exists.


Homosexuality, like heterosexuality, is a FACT of existence in High School. Most of the kids will be straight, but some will be gay. The Day of silence sounds like a rather respectful way of touching on the subject.


And this is relevant, how?


What's not mainstream? Gay people are doctors, lawyers, teachers, mechanics, Girl Scout Leaders, university professors, EMS workers, federal officers, diary farmers, soccer coaches and any other variation that you can possibly think about.

America's culture, on a lot of levels depends on all of it's subcultures for growth and change. They may be religious, ethnic or social subcultures but all are part of the larger fabric of society.

Look at history. The forces of change are born out of challenges to the status quo. What would this nation look like if 'subcultures' were unobtrusive?


That would be incorrect. Sex is private, but sexuality is, on many levels, part of the public sphere. It is part of our daily lives and existence.

There is little difference between a teacher using an example about his trip with his wife, when giving a lecture about Greece, than there is in a teacher using an example of him and his partner visiting. They would not be evaluated the same though, would they?

OK, I'll fess up. I just wanted to play "devils advocate" on this one to give ya'll a chance to vent out. You guys did a great job. No one was disrespectful or nasty about it and ALL of you gave good valid points. I am proud of ya"ll. Keep up the good work. And forgive me for getting you guys riled and don't worry about my prejudices because I do try to judge(not in the biblical sense) everyone on their individuality not on their "group association".
Love Ya'll


PS: You guys totally won this argument!
