Apparently he was ordered to attend a school program that said that God's commandment that sodomy was a disgusting abomination in His eyes was wrong and to be ignored.

How does that violate his rights? Again, I am sure he will find it offensive, but oh well. Life sucks, wear a helmet.

Suppose an orthodox Jew was ordered to attend a school program that mocked kosher dietary laws.

So according to your logic, if a school cafeteria serves pepperoni pizza, a orthodox Jew has the right to sue the school for violating his rights?

Don't be stupid.

The school cafeteria can serve whatever it wants. It most assuredly cannot declare that his religious beliefs are stupid, ignorant, and bigoted and demand his assent by forcing him to attend an assembly saying so.

I know that we have a handful of libertarian types whose are simply liberal democrats who don't like to pay taxes and want to smoke pot legally. Fortunately they are of no importance in our GOP.

When they try to express their viewpoint they are told to shut up. They are then required to attend classes where their viewpoint is degraded and insulted, and are told that the problem is that they're intolerant.

And you don't understand how this is a violation of their right to free speech.

Words fail me. I guess the Constitution states everyone's free to express their opinion as long as you agree with it, huh?

Remind me to enjoy having someone like you as an adverse party in a lawsuit.

Your lack of demonstrated critical thinking skills is a goldmine. Direct and cross would be entertaining ;-)

If they forced him to eat it...

Yes, if he is forced to eat it.
