"I asked 'What if a student were to feel uncomfortable with this -- would there be an alternate assignment?'" he said. "She said no."

The teacher here is wrong. There should have been, at least, an alternative assignment available.

Very interesting article. Thanks for the ping, Joe.

Agreed. The broader point overlooked here though is how gays are able to force others to accept their views about their lifestyle even while they are the same people who plead for acceptance on the grounds of non-bigotry, tolerance, and non-judgmentalism of others. Talk about NOT practicing what you preach. No one should be bullied into supporting a view they don't accept or agree with. I'm all for letting gays live as they wish but that doesn't mean I'm for their flaunting their lifestyle in my face and telling me I have to like and embrace it. There's a difference here. However, the left and not just gays isn't merely seeking respect for differences of opinion these days but for conformity with the thinking of the herd. That's what's so objectionable about what went on at Lakeland High. Its Un-American.

That certainly made me think...
For instance, at a very liberal college, wearing an "I CHOOSE LIFE" sign might have exposed the students to physical harm from the infanticide crowd.
