School Cancels Diversity Day Rather than Include Viewpoint of Christians and Former Homosexuals

Liberals like to adopt words as their own and then completely destroy their meaning. For example:

Diversity - A concept celebrating the idea of a world without heterosexual Christian white males. Example: "We are especially looking for people of diversity to apply to this job opening."

Open-Minded - A term describing an unthinking adherence to leftist principles. Example: "You're not bisexual? That surprises me----you seemed so open-minded."

Progressive - Any policy or circumstance which edges the world closer to a leftist Utopian ideal that has never existed and which will never exist. Example: "My university is so progressive that they are making all bathrooms gender-neutral, just like on Ally McBeal!!!"

Tolerant - Demonstrating a particular affinity for the depraved, debaucherous, perverted, cruel, and evil. Example: "Christians are easily the least tolerant people in the world. A more progressive society would round up and execute every last one of them."

In the name of "diversity", here's what they're saying about the same story over on DU:

School Cancels Diversity Day Over 'Ex-Gay' Demands

(Viroqua, Wisconsin) For the second time Viroqua High School has cancelled Diversity Day after conservative Christians balked at the inclusion of gay speakers.

The day, held every two years for juniors and seniors, was to have been held on Thursday as a opportunity to promote diversity in the community.

Speakers were to have included representatives of the African American, Latino, Jewish, Muslim, native American and gay communities.

But, Liberty Counsel, a Florida-based public interest law firm that regularly fights LGBT civil rights issues notified the school that it represented Pastor Don Greven of Bad Axe Lutheran Church and Charles Lind, grandfather of a Viroqua High senior who were concerned that representatives of the so-called ex-gay movement or other Christians opposed to homosexuality were not invited to speak.

Liberty Counsel, in a fax to the school, obtained by the La Crosse Tribune, warned that if Diversity Day went on the school could face legal action.

3. They're not Christians.

There is nothing "Christian" about these pigs.

6. For the umpteenth time...

THESE ARE NOT CHRISTIANS!!! These are maniacs that cloak bigotry, hatred and evil in a cloak of twisted permutations of what Christianity is SUPPOSED to be.

2. Foaming-at-the-mouth lunatics must be represented, too! After all, you don't know how many high school graduates want to be come drooling, pants-s****ing idiots, and if you don't offer their point of view on Diversity Day, you're doing a disservice to all the students.

If it weren't for the money it would cost the school district, I'd dare these craven little worms to sue.

4. So, let me get this straight (no pun intended)

You can't have gay speakers who would advocate "tolerance" (I hate that word) for gays, unless you have "ex-gay" speakers who would advocate . . . that it's ok to be intolerant of gays because they don't have to be gay?

I don't get it.

------------------------

Ahhh! Can't you just feel the love and tolerance?

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

I should have stated..."if their goal is to have everyone to get along..."

That is their goal isn't it? At least, that's what they've been bloviating about all along.

So much for "diversity" . . .

Diversity includes all points of view but not the ones we don't lkike.

All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others.

>>
. . . but this is just a good example of the state of "education" in this country.

But, if they only had more money, I'm sure the educational system would be better.

( hahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha )

Quote from a particularly shrill and racist black alderwoman here in St. Louis: "Diversity doesn't mean I have to listen to you. It means you have to listen to me." This could be a dandy slogan for Diversity Day in Wisconsin.

[nonsporting]

The ex-homosexuals would make it all too clear that sexual deviancy is not irreversible. The implications of this are frightening and lead in many cases to self-condemnation. How hateful.

[kjo]

Yeah. It's like on TV news, diversity means people of both genders and all colors reading the news, as long as they are liberals. That's diversity all right.

[george wythe]

I would say that Wisconsin has some real problems, but this is just a good example of the state of "education" in this country.

Who needs reading, 'riting, and 'rithmetic?

Diversity is so important.

[calex59]

Too much diversity apparently........

I know you are probably joking, but the truth is there was not enough diversity. Claiming you are fair and unbiased and then excluding religions and beliefs you don't want is not very diverse in my book, but hypocritical in the extreme!

[superdad]

Unfortunately, this will not change the presentation of the one-sided views of the liberal teachers each day in the classrooms.

[bereanway]

I gotta hand it to you, you've got more of a stomach than I. I'm afraid after just a few minutes over there I'd overheat.

[dukeman]

Ha! I view lurking over on DU like having a peephole into an insane asylum. You never know what they'll say next and just when you think they've reached the limit of liberal silliness, they push the line even further. The place is a laugh riot!

[wbill]

I'm glad that students in Wisconsin are so well-educated, that the schools can worry about mundane trivia like 'Diversity Days'. I'm sure that the secondary school/military/job placement rate there must be approaching 100%, as everyone is so well-prepared. Literacy must be headed for 100% as well, while the dropout rate goes to 0.

Honestly, it likely preps the little monsters for work in the corporate world. Makes it easier for them to spot BS when they see it. :-)

[Wuli]

Liberals do not actually believe in true "freedom of speech". To them "freedom of speech" means freedom for a liberal view to not be criticized or questioned.

[Chickensoup]

Well that is one way to cancel Lockstep Leftist Day.

[antiRepublicrat]

Hmong, Jews, Muslims, Native Americans, African-Americans, homosexuals, Latinos, Buddhists, the physically disadvantaged, and the economically disadvantaged

Translated for those not conversant in PC speak: Hmong, Jews, Muslims, Indians, blacks, gays, Latinos, Buddhists, handicapped and the poor. Christians and former gays translates to PC as intolerant hate mongers and traitors to the cause, respectively.

"Diversity is perversity." M. Savage

I think that about sums it up. The article proves the statement to be true.

[funkywbr]

Kinda of cancels out the WORD diversity doesn't it!

[nicmarlo]

Toleration and diversity is only bestowed upon those who espouse attitudes of intoleration and disrespect of anything Christian and/or anti/former-homosexual.
