Students Sue Minnesota District Over Gay Policy



(CHAMPLIN, Minn.) — Several current and former students sued Minnesota's largest school district Thursday, saying its policy requiring staff to remain neutral when sexual orientation is discussed in the classroom prevents teachers from effectively protecting kids perceived as gay from bullying and harassment.
The five plaintiffs contend the Anoka-Hennepin School District failed to protect them from severe bullying and harassment, including physical abuse and verbal slurs. Three of the plaintiffs identify themselves as gay or bisexual and two do not.
"This policy sends the message to kids that who they are is not OK," said Mary Bauer, legal director of the Southern Poverty Law Center, one of two advocacy groups that filed the lawsuit in federal court in Minnesota.

The straight kids should sue for not protecting them from perverted practice.

I guess it's time to abuse the court system the way gays do.

"This policy sends the message to kids that who they are is not OK,"

It's certainly abnormal so why is the policy wrong? Should teaching Jihad be right? Should teaching pedophile behavior be right? Should teaching sex with animals be right?

While you may want to live an abnormal life, don't make it a life that others are forced to embrace. Keep your abnormalty in your bedroom.

What's next pedophilia rights? They are both perversions so I sure they will be demanding equal rights.
