School Censors "Straight Pride" Poster [fake-satire]

A high school student in Jasper, Indiana attempted to post a dissenting perspective on the school's persistent indoctrination campaign regarding sexual identity. The unnamed student tacked up several "Straight Pride" posters around the school. The poster's message: "Nobody cares about what you think you are. If you want equality, stop shoving your ideas down our throats! We have nothing against your sexual orientation. We just don't care!"

Greater Jasper School Superintendent Tracy Lorey explained that "we want to provide students opportunities to express themselves, but this doesn't mean that they can say whatever they want. For this one student to ask to be left alone would eviscerate the LGBT community's right to be heard. What use is free speech if people can choose not to listen? Stories relating the difficulties and courage displayed by LGBTs are something that every Jasper student needs to hear."

Lorey contended that "the poster's expressed disinterest in other students' sexual orientations is a manifestation of intolerance. He may think that he's heard enough, that he'd like to just concentrate on his studies, but he is trying to shut himself off from a vital message. Sexual orientation is the civil rights issue of our time. Until everyone acknowledges every other person's right to be accepted as the sex he or she wants to be accepted as at any given moment no one's civil rights are secure."

In other education news, the State of New York is poised to eliminate literacy tests for public school teachers. John D'Agati, deputy commissioner of the state Education Department, called the test "discriminatory and out-dated. Barely half of Hispanic teachers and fewer than half of African-American teachers can pass the test. Continuing to insist that teachers must be literate would embed racism into our standards. In this modern age of videos and non-written forms of communication it seems foolish to require teachers to master skills that likely will prove unnecessary in the future."

LOL

The better poster?

Be all you can be - just don’t be it around me.

The trouble with “Activists” esp the young ones - is that they see the **entire Universe”” thru the prism of their - whatever (gay, Black, LGBTEIEIO) and get enraged when you don’t see it their or, worse, tell ‘em to eff off, you don’t care.

So glad my days of teaching are long gone.

The right of free speech does include the right not to listen.

The right not to listen is the right of the individual, not a bureaucrat.

If the individual is forced to listen, he will purposefully disconnect.

This reminds me of the need for an “American Liberty Act”. The philosophy begins at the federal level, that everyone has the right to refuse paying into and benefiting from, direct payments and benefits from any federal program.

That is, no direct contact between the feds and the individual. All must be done through their state, and states cannot demand compliance with such federal programs.

For example, if you reject the FICA tax, then you reject both Social Security and Medicare, for the rest of your life. If you have already paid into the system, that is the extent and limits of your benefits.

Everything else, including the census and the military draft, must go through the individual states. If citizens choose it, the only direct contact they have with the federal government is with federal elections, the federal income tax, the Post Office and the issuance of passports.

The idea is that this philosophy trickles down to the states as well. For example, if a student attends college, which they are paying for, they cannot be required to take courses outside of their major.

Even high school students and their parents, should have the right to reject participation in indoctrination or other social engineering extraneous to their education.
