Don't Be Gay

A Florida school administrator, no doubt a South Park fan, allegedly admonishes his students "don't be gay." And in support of his position he has allegedly suspended several students who wear rainbows or other symbols of gay pride in his school. The ACLU sued.

Of course, the complaint hasn't been answered yet, so we don't know what the school is willing to admit to. However, an exciting letter from a school representative sets up one issue nicely for any court loss. The letter basically says, we don't allow pro-gay statements because they would be disruptive just like we don't allow anti-gay statements. I love it. So if the school loses, presumably the administrator will have his revenge after all. He will allow anti-gay statements, throwing up his arms and exclaiming "I love the First Amendment." And after all, there may well be more students willing to wear anti-gay statements then pro-gay statements. In another letter they apparently compared it to students wearing the Confederate flag. So that's another possibility. Wear your Rainbow Brite shirt and then we will let them display their rebel pride.

I can't imagine what this administrator would do if he actually had gay or lesbian parents attending a parent teacher conference or a basketball game or a school play. I recognize there is a difference, but I can't imagine he would be any less hostile to the open display of homosexuality. Perhaps the schools should refuse to educate gay students or children of gay or lesbian couples. Maybe the next step is to eliminate liberals from public education. Then papists. Then nonwhites. Then non-evangelicals. Then troublemakers. Then those who sin. Eventually, we will eliminate these kind of educational disturbances by really tailoring the kind of mainstream children we are willing to educate. Of course, I doubt that these children should be exposed to the kinds of lies that are propagated by science, and there is little hope for teaching history or literature, almost all of which has been written by flawed sinners. Perhaps a modest schoolhouse, focusing on biblical education where these chosen children can be taught the divine word of god. Oh well.
