I know exactly what the underlying meaning of "gay rights" is.

I also know that there are many schools in which such things are NOT pushed and won't ever be, without a court order.

Liberals "push" all kinds of things in schools, every day and "gay rights" isn't on the top of that list; though it is there.

You are either unaware, or ignoring the fact that as mayor, Rudy was the major proponent of vouchers and charter schools and is also a firm believer in PARENTS RIGHTS over board of education "rights" and won that battle in N.Y.C. with almost no help from any other politician or group.

Unlike the lies and base propaganda, being posted to FR, 24/7, from the minute a Rudy thread was posted here, some of us DO know the facts and are refuting the lies, innuendos, and constant impugnations. We are also not obfuscating, dodging, nor making false statements about his record.

He's in favor of school choice, and also believes that the NCLB act is good law, because it puts EVERY school in this country to account, not just the failing ones, although the failing ones pay the higher price for failing it's children in the first place.

Rudy believed that even poor families deserved to choose the schools their children attended. He also believed that parents knew what was best for their children. To the BOE, each child was just a number on a sheet of paper. The BOE, like any government institution, was just more interested in collecting their share of the property tax money, and getting a paycheck, no matter what.
