who are the most prescious things in the world to me (even though they don't know that after the butt chewing I just gave them for throwing their crap all over my house) I'm afraid I would have to kick someone's ass for this...OK several asses. What on earth were these people thinking? If my kiddos ever come to my husband and I and say they are gay then fine. They get big hugs and lots of love. Being straight they'd get nothing because there is no stigma that goes with it. Being gay brings lots of issues that can complicate many relationships. I would hate to know that the adults in their lives brought additional pain or confusion into the picture and anyone who was outright mean would be introduced to the wrath of Mom...oh and my ultra liberal husband's wrath as well. I hope this young man is getting support at home. End rant......

This is one of the vilest things I've read in a long time. All I can say is, I hope young Mr McLaughlin becomes a very rich man as a result of all of this. I also hope some of these so-called "teachers" get sued into bankruptcy.

Unbelievable is right.

Knots in the stomach is right.

Does anybody know to whom one writes in complaint? I want that school to be inundated with letters of outrage, not to mention lambasted with all the legal mud that the ACLU can fling.

ACLU challenges Little Rock school for harassing gay student

Unbelievable.

From the link:

Quote:

The school suspended him for two days for telling other students about being made to read the Bible in school. The principal and assistant principal also told McLaughlin that if he told any of his friends why he was suspended, they would recommend that he be expelled.

That tells me those teachers knew damned well what they were doing was wrong, and tried to cover it up. I agree, sue them into bankruptcy!

Somebody give me a sharp stick and five minutes alone with each one of those sorry pissants.

One of the vice principals at my second high school dragged a goth kid I knew into the office and harangued him for being a devil worshipper. The kid was an atheist. I still regret not having called the ACLU.

"Rita Sklar, executive director of the ACLU of Arkansas"

Now that has to be the busiest position in america.
