DETROIT -- Michigan high school teacher Jay McDowell says he didn't like where the discussion was going after a student told his classmates he didn't "accept gays."

So McDowell kicked the boy out of class for a day.

In return, the teacher was suspended for a day without pay for violating the student's free speech rights.

Howell is nothing like that, Dearborn is the Arab hotbed of the Religion of Peace. In fact, Howell is known for its once infamous KKK.

maybe the tide of liberalism in Michigan is being overturned.

The only thing needed to turn the homo-perversion tide is for decent, normal Americans to quit cowering and simply stand up.

But while we’re on the subject of Economics, how much does the US spend on homosexuals who have contacted and continue to spread AIDS.

Good. I was surprised they didn’t suspend the student, which is what has been happening recently. Guess the schools got tired of losing law suits.

I was really confused there a second.

I had just finished reading about the kid from another district defending the teacher.

Sorry, mombrain.

You can watch the video of the 14yo boy testifying here:

He’s very talented at twisting and turning everything to fit his own agenda. It’s sad that, at such a young age, he has been led in the wrong direction.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

You just never can figure what a public school is going to do next.

My guess is that if he hadn't kicked the kid out of class, someone would have complained and he would have gotten suspended for not doing it either.

You’d think so, eh?

Bothers me when I hear teachers laying the boom on irrelevant nonsense that shouldn’t have a place in the classroom.

It’s annoying. They don’t have time to teach arithmetic or reading comprehension, but plenty of time to discuss their feelings.

The Detroit Free Press reported that the incident began when this teacher asked a girl in his class to remove her Confederate flag belt buckle. The boy asked, why does she have to take off her belt, but it’s ok to fly the “rainbow flag?” That’s what set things off.

Were it my daughter, I'd be in that teacher's office asking why he was looking at a teenager's waistline and he had better have a damn good answer.

Howell schools on Monday hosted a community forum to discuss tolerance and diversity issues.

How many leftie buzzwords can fit in one sentence?

Let's see: "community", "discuss", "tolerance", "diversity" and "issues" -- oh, and "schools."

There are no free speech rights in school.

Not to nitpick, but you mean "government school," which is becoming increasingly irrelevant as more and more people choose other education options.

From your link.

“I’ve been in classrooms where children have said the worst things,” the boy told the board. “The kinds of things that drove me to a suicide attempt when I was 9 years old.”

I find this INCREDIBLY sad. I have a nine year old son. The only concept he has of sexuality is that it is gross when mom and dad kiss. Only a person subjected to sexual abuse would “know” they were gay at 9.

The perverted homosexual teacher should be fired. Banned from teaching in any school. This would have been the punishment for a heterosexual teacher. If the teacher had kicked a homosexual student out of class for speaking out.
