I believe in equal rights. So a 15 year old girl I find on top of my 14 year old daughter gets the same treatment as a 15 year old boy. Once off the door jamb and out ya' go.

Good point I would extend that to an older girl taking liberties with a minor of the same gender too. Stuatory rape should not differentiated by sexual orientation either.

You are lucky. As a high school teacher, I received a poster to post in my class if I supported GLSEN and would allow students with cards to remain silent during class on Wed. I do not support this and am angry that the school system has put in the middle of this. Today two of my students were discussing this one who would participate and the other who was raised to not accept this type of behavior. They asked for my opinion in which I said that I think it is a political topic which should not be allowed in schools. It is a club. We also have a youth fellowship for athletes but they have to meet before or after school. (By the way, the school district I teach in, in NC is only allowed to teach abstinence in school). I can not understand why we are promoting this during school hours. We also have a SAVE club, students against violence everywhere. This is where this thing belongs. I am all for tolerance, but this club has an agenda and I will not be promoting it. It is placing me in an awkward situation and has in the past caused some shouting matches. My husband said to just show a video for the hour and a half and that way no one could talk. I told him that that would waste a day of instruction for an agenda I did not sign on to do.
