The mere fact that anyone even takes notice of an idiotic statement like this, much less prints it in a newspaper, reinforces the feeling of many that our culture is spiraling down into a seething cauldron of hopeless corruption and bile.
Once again a school system's administration has chosen to raise the white flag and cave to those who wish to destroy our culture.
I hope that ample opportunities for home and private schooling are available in The Garden State.
OK., so, if it were 2 women kissing, I don’t think I would have an issue with it.
Sad ping :-(
We have a homeschool yearbook filled with pictures of kids playing instruments, attending classes, and having fun with friends. There are no pictures of couples kissing, it’s inappropriate. How far we’ve come.
I was “having a disagreement” with someone the other day. He said compared to Europe, America was backward in the 60’s. I told him no, Europe had regressed.
Mau-Mau...now that’s a term from the past....so is it true that Osama Bin Obamarama’s daddy was a member of the terrorist Mau-Mau in colonial Africa....?
They're back...
Obscuring yearbook photo of a male kissing boyfriend is illegal, gay advocate says ^
No mention of the faculty advisor who should have been the adult supervision in the assembly and printing of the yearbook. How curious.
from pookies toons thread this morning
Disgust at an abhorrent immoral practice is not fear.
The good news is: homeschooling thrives in NJ. The bad news is: half of them are Far Left Loonies, too. LOL.
... The district is the state's largest and is one of three in New Jersey that are under state control. It is among 31 districts in the state's neediest areas that get special financial aid.
If he has $150 to spend on publicising his sexual perversion why is the school district receiving extra aid? Aparently the kids don't need any help. Wasting money on publishing soft core pornography doesn't seem like something a "needy" child would do.
They took his money, and never told him the picture was inappropriate.
Then, after printing the book, they decided the picture was offensive, and MARKED IT OUT WITH A MAGIC MARKER.
Meanwhile, they allowed male/female kissing pictures to remain.
Sorry. I think Homosexual activity is wrong. But the government can’t really be regulating between kisses from different people based on their gender.
And even if they could, they can’t do it after the fact, with no stated policy, when they took his money.
Further, once they had actually PRINTED the picture, what was the point of blacking it out? Suppose there were people offended by the picture. Couldn’t those people have just blacked out the picture themselves?
Of course, those people would say “why should we have to deface our yearbook to keep from being offended?” But since the school had to deface the yearbook anyway, the argument would be a moot argument.
If some parent said they were offended by the picture of a heterosexual couple kissing, because they believed all physical contact was “sex” and was inappropriate until marriage, would the school be OK to use magic marker over all the pictures?
What if there was a mixed-race couple, and some found it offensive to see THEM kissing? Can the school black THAT out?
what if there was a student who had a much older partner? The image of an 18-year-old girl kissing some grissly old man might be offensive. Ban that too?
Then there are the weird hairdos, the funny clothing, the mocking facial expressions. Can we have the school take a pen to anything anybody would be offended by?
Your tax dollars at work.
So here we are. Life in government schools, circa 2007.
God help us.
Gay’s a such a yawn -
Gay’s are such a yawn...
Another reason to homeschool bump.
My high school yearbook didn’t have any pictures of couple kissing.
They should have just not shown pictures of students kissing. They didn’t in our high school year book. They showed couples, but they didn’t show pictures of couples kissing. Homosexual behavior should never be accepted as normal or natural, especially in schools. Unfortunately, the schools have dug themselves into a hole by teaching it as such with books like “Heather Has Two Mommies”. I wonder if they’ll show three girls when group marriage or a guy and two girls when polygamy become legal. It could be an interesting ride.
