Bravo, in a battle of wits, you are unarmed.
Obviously not to you....Enough said.....though I'm still smiling....
I knew you were easily amused.
I am....life is good.
Don't quit your job a Walmart...comedy isn't you gig...
Is bullying against conservatives a big issue in public schools?
You may want to address the question about "types" that I keep asking you, and which you are too afraid to answer, before talking about rational, adult conversation, bravs...
Conservative or liberal or political bullying is more common in higher education and a majority of it is instructors against conservatives with threats of failing grades...something like the above example...a teacher with an agenda against a religious student.
Bullying in lower schools is usually more personal in nature...against those that don't fit the "normal" mold....nerds, fat, skinny, clumsy, puny, etc....
You need to do some more research. Bullying against homosexuals is a problem in public schools.
And for the record, professors in higher ed or HS should keep their political agendas to themselves when it comes to teaching a curriculum to students.
Homosexual don't fit the "mold" as normal in HS....it was just until recently, considered a mental illness and the homo a "deviant"...
Its not totally accepted by the adult population, especially to those that find it against their religious beliefs. They have rights too, you know. and its certainly not limited to Christians....
And for the record...I concur.
I'm not concerned about "up until recently." Just before slaves were freed, it was considered fine to own them by many.
At what point do you balance free speech w/ the rights of the harassed? Let's start w/ an extreme example. Someone wearing a "God hates fags" t-shirt to class, or starting a group in school that speaks out against homosexuals. Both would be protected under the guise of "free speech"...do you think they should be allowed in public schools?
DamnYankee
Loyal to the end
Guessing about the same as the general population, which is less than 2%.
And I really should have pointed out the Bullying is a problem in public schools, period.....for many reasons and even no reasons...
Really now, you don't think a professional where the norm is to not marry would atract even a slightly higher percentage?
Don't get carried away...."recently" in this case means 1974.......concerning slavery, it means 1865 or so....
Lets not get into hypotheticals......that just becomes a contest to see who can dream up the most extreme bullshit...
In this op the details are given....the teacher is obviously wrong, morally, ethically, and even constitutionally.....and the slap on the wrist is common for what he did and the agenda he condones.....that ole double standard at work....
As for public school 'free speech'...?.....does that differ because the its a college and not HS....I guess it does, considering HS is mandated by government....

Seems you are quite wrong, as usual, from wiki;
Estimating the number of homosexuals in a given population can be problematic due to problems of measurement, definition, and heterogeneous geographic distribution. Estimates in large populations range from 1% to 15%, with a mean of 4%-5%. (See Demographics of sexual orientation.) Despite this, evidence from several studies has shown that there are higher than average numbers of homosexual men (active and non-active) within the Catholic priesthood and higher orders.
A number of anonymous studies have suggested a prevalence of homosexual leanings in the Roman Catholic priesthood. Studies by Wolf and Sipe from the early 1990s suggest that the percentage of priests in the Catholic Church who admitted to being gay or were in homosexual relationships was well above the national average for the United States of America.[SUP][2][/SUP] Dr Elizabeth Stuart, a former convener of the Catholic Caucus of the Lesbian and Gay Christian movement claimed
"It has been estimated that at least 33 per cent of all priests in the RC Church in the United States are homosexual."[SUP][3][/SUP]Anecdotal press reports from anonymous sources also suggest that the incidence of homosexuality in the Roman Catholic priesthood is much higher than in the general population.[SUP][4][/SUP][SUP][5][/SUP] It is theorized part of the overrepresentation might be caused by heterosexual priests leaving in order to marry. But it may also have much to do with the Church offering a perceived 'sanctuary' for many men living in societies where homosexuality is criminalised or shunned - especially reducing the pressure by families to marry and have children.
One report suggested that since the mid-1980s Roman Catholic priests in the United States were dying from AIDS-related illnesses at a rate four times higher than that of the general population; with most of the cases contracted through same-sex relations, and the cause often concealed on their death certificates.[SUP][6][/SUP] Bishop Thomas Gumbleton of the Archdiocese of Detroit suggested that: "Gay priests and heterosexual priests didn't know how to handle their sexuality, their sexual drive. And so they would handle it in ways that were not healthy." Furthermore the report suggested that some priests and behavioral experts believe the church had "scared priests into silence by treating homosexual acts as an abomination and the breaking of celibacy vows as shameful".

[h=2]The Gay Priest Problem June 03, 2002[/h]AIDS has quietly caused the deaths of hundreds of Roman Catholic priests in the United States although other causes may be listed on some of their death certificates, the Kansas City Star reported today. The newspaper said its examination of death certificates and interviews with experts indicates several hundred priests have died of AIDS-related illnesses since the mid-1980s. The death rate of priests from AIDS is at least four times that of the general population, the newspaper said. Kansas City Bishop Raymond Boland says the AIDS deaths show that priests are human.
Even About.com puts the figure at 25%;
http://atheism.about.com/od/catholicismandgays/a/gaypriests_2.htm
This is now a critical juncture for the Roman Catholic Church, particularly in America. Most studies put the number of gay Catholic priests at around 25 percent or higher - dismissing them would devastate an already imperiled American priesthood. The median age of American priests is nearly 60 and getting older. The number of people entering seminaries has dropped by more than 80 percent since 1966, even as the Catholic population in America has increased dramatically.
Think it may be time to end the falsely imposed celibacy requirement?
I remember the first weddings I performed as an altar boy, how beautiful the brides were, the palpable spirituality of the event.
I also remember clearly the realization that I would not become a priest as awareness of the meaning of celibacy sunk in.
Apparantly one of the bigger factors as to the high percentage of gays in the priesthood is that so many heterosexuals leave to marry.
