Sounds like this teacher got a little too much homosexual sensitivity training. Don't we know that "gay" and "nigger" are equal slurs? That saying "nigger" in a "teaching moment"(homosexual activists encourage teachers to seize "teaching moments" to sensitize students to their agenda) like this teacher did is just the same as saying it while lynching a black man? I bet the homosexualists are just dying to defend this teacher but are afraid to.

Some people seem to carefully nurture their own private death wish...........

well - apparantly this is what happens when one slur meet the other slur.

Probable homosexual teacher overeacting to the misuse of the word "GAY".

Have you ever wondered --- Is this new definition of "gay" a gay plot to legitimize their perversions?

what a dumb teacher

[Sir Gawain]

The teacher must've been a fag.

Americans certainly need more to worry about than mere words.

Since when is "gay" a slur? When I was a kid, we used to call each other a "faggot" if you wanted to insult someone. Now gay is bad?

[Tacis]

This is the ultimate dilema for the left-wing extremist liberal. Do they scream outrage over the alleged "slur" to the black guy or the fairy? They so much prefer to cluck at the "right wing, religious, gun owning, Republican conservative."

The incident happened during a computer class May 2. Several sources say the teacher became upset when a sophomore called an assignment "gay," ... Brenda Little, deputy general counsel for Seattle Public Schools, said the teacher then walked back into the classroom with the boy, saying to the class, " 'Well, I guess the n- - - - - can come back in.'

Sophomore calls assignment "gay" ... Teacher calls student "nigger." I fail to see the equivalence.

I agree.

Now if the teacher were black himself and called the young black student "my ni$$a" and told him to "hit the rock dog!", then that would be okedok.

You are so right. They have got themselves backed into a corner. So much of the homosexualist agenda depends upon piggy backing on the black civil rights movement, ie "homosexuality is an immutable characteristic just like skin color", "homosexuals have suffered, struggled and are discriminated against just like blacks" etc.

To homosexualists calling something (in this case a school assignment) "gay" is just the same as calling another person "nigger".

No. I looked up "fag" in the dictionary . . . it said a type of cigarette.

Interesting. A teacher trying to Politically Correct student gets Politically Corrected!

[Conservateacher]

Very interesting dilema for the teachers union. Do they support the teacher for his support of gays or do they support the student. Race against sexual orientation.

I totally argee. In fact,I love such dilemmas. Watching the various bases of the RATS fight among themselves is always entertaining. In this situation, it is the teacher's union vs. the African-American community. May there be more conflicts between these two groups.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh. I thought this was an article about someone calling another person a "honky".

My mistake.

Is this new definition of "gay" a gay plot to legitimize their perversions?

This "new" definition has been around for at least ten years. My children and their friends have been using the term gay as an adjective, meaning not cool, for many years.

I think having the word gay mean uncool does nothing to legitimize homosexual perversion. I think it does just the opposite.

[ffusco]

The tteacher might have intended to correct the student, but only ended up looking retaliatory, vindictive and foolish.

[Mr. Bird]

What if the kid had said, "this assignment is for ass-pirates?"
