Schools in tennessee k-8 not allowed to discuss gays.

[Underium]

Ok There is this new bill in Tennessee going around right now that basically says, "Hey In our schools from now on, you cant mention, discuss or do anything with homosexuality." Full article here.

So NSG, I want to know what you think, and why you think they're trying to do this.

In my opinion I think its a bunch of utter bullshit and their a bunch of homophobes.

I think its a step in the right direction, but then again, turning a blind eye to society's problems isn't necessarily a good idea.

Seems to be the red states policy on sex education in general.

I'll be looking forward to the Tennessee Republicans piloting the program which seeks to expell gay-bashers from the schools then...

Not that that will happen. "Gay" and "Homo" will be perfectly allowed as long as it is used as a bullying tactic for homophobes to throw at their classmates...

I guess, I can see that if your referring that discussing sexuality should normally be kept out of the classroom, but this just bans it all, but does nothing to heterosexuality, is our public education system that blind? That they think if they don't teach students then there wont be any homosexuality?

[Lackadaisical2]

Thats so gay.

The way I see it, they should either teach that homosexuality is wrong or not discuss it at all.

Why? They only teach abstinence and homosexual acts do not make someone pregnant...

sounds like a bunch of bullcrap. They're enforcing laws on the children that the children can't vote on to change, so it goes against the US constitution as well.

True, but its still wrong.

[Arkinesia]

I think it should be brought down to K-6.

K-8 is excessive.

[Roman Cilicia]

Yes, homophones are horrible I agree. They don't want gays to have human rights or own property, the nazis!

Good one. Anyway soem people's summary of it is incorrect, it just bans teaching about it.

I vote for not discussing it at all. Schools have no right to change sexual views held by someone.

How, in any way, is it wrong?

oh well thats actually a step in the right direction. Neutrality is actually a good tactic for future changes and lawsuits.

Schools should obviously not be allowed to discuss heterosexuality either. Goodbye Prince Charming, you manwhore.

I see that it should be discussed from the standpoint that (1)they should not teach it as right or wrong, as it's not the school's place to teach religious morality, that's for parents and churches... and (2) It should be discussed because at least some of the student population is likely to be homosexual.

[Terrasricas]

True, but its still wrong.

How, in any way, is it wrong?

How is anything wrong? Pedophilia is wrong but I don't know that I can tear it down any further than just saying its sick.

It also bans discussion of any kind, therefore if there's a big issue about it, they cannot discuss it.

[Mike the Progressive]

Everybody knows that if you discuss ze gays, you will catch ze gays.

[Conserative Morality]

So, I just had a discussion about homosexuality today.

...

So, you doing anything tonight handsome?

List the reasons its wrong please.

between students? They'll never be able to enforce it.

I just cooled down within 30 seconds.
