Coulda been a linguistics lesson. You try saying “black fag” over and over.

[SECURE AMERICA]

Geneva High School senior Jordan Hunter, who is gay and said he was personally offended by the remark,

Too bad. You made a choice that is going to haunt you for the rest of your life. Better get used to being offended and worse.. Once you decide to live a lifestyle of perversion and disease you have to accept the consequences that go along with that.
Oh and by the way. NO ONE has any rights never to be offended. Can’t find that clause in the Constituion anywhere........

[Raycpa]

So now black smokers have a special protected class? /british

[HiTech RedNeck]

Are they calling each other “black fags”? (It would be a pun, since a cigarette is sometimes called a “fag.”) If so, WHAT a double standard.

[SECURE AMERICA]

These words were inappropriate, and I am truly sorry for my actions,” the apology stated. “The message I conveyed was insensitive and hurtful. That is not what I had intended

Grow a spine Mr Burk You made the comment and frankly there was nothing wrong with it.Tired of everyone being offended by everything. What a bunch of sheep...

I can only guess at the actual word used.

If the teacher in question had said 'how do you feel about your tax dollars being spent on non essential things under the National Endowment for the Arts such as homosexuals taking pictures of other homosexuals', he would still be in trouble.

There is no way to be critical of the agenda of some groups in this country without consequences.

However a teacher is expected to at least encourage the students to look critically at policies such as NEA spending when the country could use that money for other things, such as (fill in with an explanation).

Why that sounds like a good homework assignment for students in a real school.

So, the Swiss believe in the thought police too. Who would have thought? People in Europe don’t understand individual freedom, but wasn’t the concept really defined there?

“Can’t say black anything nowadays.”

Hell, if you think that’s bad, just think what black leaders in Cook County, IL get away with on a regular basis. Just the other day they came out and publicly said that Cook County voters must not divide black candidates in the county primary election because that would allow a white to win. My God, just think of the fallout if a wite had said that about blacks.

“The left-wing are in reality making an assualt on everyone’s rights with this type of fascist behavior.”

The left IS fascism, writ large.

[ought-six]

“...but these people are really making it hard for me not to hate them (i.e., the left).”

Geez, I find it quite easy to hate them.

[massmike]

How can 2% of the population make so much noise?

[Venturer]

Musn’t offend the Fudgepackers. Especially not the Black fudgepackers.

[Free Per the Constitution]

isnt political correctness just wonderful?

It’s OK in this country that 4000 poor innocent little babies, many blacks among them, are slaughtered because the GIRL having the abortion doesnt want the responsibility. She shouldnt have opened her legs then.

but what really ticks me off is the time wasted on some name calling. Who gives a crap about the word fag. You’re going to ruin this teachers career because of it when every liberal teacher across the country has carte blanche to say whatever they want to say because different standards of political correctness are held to them.

the country is insane.

<<>> Teaching in public school requires that you do not have a spine more or less. If you are a conservative individual you are going to have to ostensibly condone things that would normally make your skin crawl. You must take it, however, because you are, after all, a part of the government school system making a good salary for 10 months work, and you do not wish to lose your job. For teacher Burk to defend his remarks would have been instantaneous dismissal. Many teachers regularly use epithets, even vulgarities, in the classroom in an effort to come down to the student level and evidently this was what Burk was doing. The gay contingency are particularly mean spirited and vindicative and they will make this teacher pay mercilessly for his faux pas. More reason for all sensible people to home school.

Presently closeted homosexuals in the military brag that one of the perks’ of their kind is the ability to sleep in the tight confines of a ship with other males they find attracted to. Imagine yourself, if your hetro, being allowed to sleep in the women's quarters with half or fully naked women! Homos in the men's showers report the best way to make it through that “heavenly’ experience, sometimes twice a day, is to keep your hand on the cold water faucet should an erection occur. When Obama legalizes homos in the military, that will not be a problem (legally) but such open flouting may find shipboard homos over the side and/or the center of attention at a blanket party! I say put lesbians in with hetro males and homo males in with the hetro females..it's the only fair and safe way!

[reg45]

My question is: Will the NEA (National Education Association) defend the teacher, or are they merely a fund raising instrument of the DNC?

[ronniesgal]

Is Lexie Tomchek a he/she? Ghastly!!!

[ronniesgal]

yeah, but then hetero males will lie, say they are homos, to be able to sleep with the naked girls.
They won’t get in any trouble for saying they are homos, and most girls are delighted to have homos as friends.
So no problem, eh!!

[elcid1970]

It’s appalling that a high school senior feels he has the right to rule on the future of someone’s teaching career just because he’s “offended”. Most high school seniors are idiots anyway, so what makes his judgement so special?

Looks like the empowered Gaystapo has a new recruit.

“I’m offended, you should be fired”. GRRRRR!!!!!
