On Friday, United States Senator Jim DeMint (R-SC) told a crowd in South Carolina that he supports barring openly gay teachers, as well as sexually active unmarried female teachers, from the school system. “Jim DeMint’s comments can only be described as outrageous and bizarre. The idea that someone who says they believe in limited government would support the government weeding out gay teachers and unmarried sexually active female teachers simply defies logic,” said Christopher R. Barron, Chairman of the GOProud Board. “Jim DeMint is doing his best to make Alvin Greene look sane.”
“A real limited government conservative would be talking about getting the government less involved in education – not more involved. Instead of talking about shutting down the Department of Education, supporting school choice and protecting parents’ rights to homeschool their children, Jim DeMint instead wants the government even more involved in our education system, and involved in a way that would invade the personal lives of every teacher in this country,” continued Barron.
DeMint’s comments come on the heels of increased media attention to the problem of bullying of gay teenagers and the tragically high rates of gay teen suicide. “At a time when we need to be having a serious discussion about the silent epidemic of gay teen suicide, Jim DeMint’s comments send a powerful and disturbing message to people all across the country,” said Jimmy LaSalvia, Executive Director of GOProud. “For a man who speaks a great deal about morality, Jim DeMint’s comments represent some of this most morally reprehensible comments made by a politician in modern history.”
“It is clear that the socially conservative big government wing of the Republican Party is desperate to undermine and co-op the message and enthusiasm of the tea party movement. After a year and a half of attacking the tea party movement for not being focused on their pet issues, it is clear that Tony Perkins and his crowd have embraced a new strategy – if you can’t beat’em, join’em. The tea party movement is about limiting the size and scope of the government and empowering indiviudals. The grassroots tea party activists should reject attempts by Washington Republicans like Jim DeMint to corrupt the movement’s conservative message,” concluded LaSalvia.
Thank you Miss Landers
You’re welcome, Einstein.
{Notice the “you’re’]
GOProud is not on our side.
I think we all know this.
Go back to worrying about what’s between your legs and the fact that DeMint didn’t mention men. How simply awful for you...oh but it’s easier to ignore the point of the debate and point out grammatical/spelling errors.
::: YAWN :::
Only you are obsessed with “what’s between your legs”. Low life! Ick!
Oh, you mean a mahram? That is still the case in many parts of the world today and, as you say, it seems to work.
That's alright, he is picking up mine if he said this. Female teachers are a role model, by choice, and should act reponsibly. They want to do the Lohan thing, don't do it where kids can see you.
Thanks for the clarification!
“Teachers having sexual relations with students doesn’t alarm you?”
Who said anything about them having sex with their students?
They are RINOs and CINOS!!!!
“He may have said something about unmarried, visibly pregnant teachers.”
I would agree, however, when I was in school, I was never really aware of whether or not my teachers were married or whether or not they were sexually active, straight or gay. Their personal lives were not discussed.
“So this is GOProuds spin?”
I gather from the President of the homosexual group, Chris Barron, that their focus is the exact same agenda as the militant Leftist homosexual - to infiltrate the schools and indoctrinate young kids to their ‘alternative’ lifestyle choice.
Chris Barron (GOProud Executive Director): “We are a gay organization, we only work on gay issues, we have never claimed otherwise.”

Ronald Reagan: “Society has always regarded marital love as a sacred expression of the bond between a man and a woman. It is the means by which families are created and society itself is extended into the future. In the Judeo-Christian tradition it is the means by which husband and wife participate with God in the creation of a new human life. It is for these reasons, among others, that our society has always sought to protect this unique relationship. In part the erosion of these values has given way to a celebration of forms of expression most reject. We will resist the efforts of some to obtain government endorsement of homosexuality.”

If you can apply the term "promiscuous" to a teacher then it becomes a concern.
Another poster said that GOProud didn’t correctly quote DeMint.
