As many as 100 high school students walked out of a national journalism conference after an anti-bullying speaker began cursing, attacked the Bible and reportedly called those who refused to listen to his rant “pansy asses.”
The speaker was Dan Savage, founder of the “It Gets Better” project, an anti-bullying campaign that has reached more than 40 million viewers with contributors ranging from President Obama to Hollywood stars. Savage also writes a sex advice column called “Savage Love.”
Savage, and his husband, were also guests at the White House for President Obama’s 2011 LGBT Pride Month reception. He was also invited to a White House anti-bullying conference.
Savage was supposed to be delivering a speech about anti-bullying at the National High School Journalism Conference sponsored by the Journalism Education Association and the National Scholastic Press Association. But it turned into an episode of Christian-bashing.

I once had someone at our old church explain to me that the story of Sodom wasn’t about homosexuality - it was that the guests were treated poorly. THAT was the big sin.
Did I mention that was at our OLD church?
You handle bullies by punching them in the mouth. The one hundred kids who walked out should have first beat the crap out of this Savage dude(ironic name). In my day, forty-five years ago, that’s how you handled a typical school-yard bully. What the f**k is wrong with kids today?
“Conservative children are bullied in schools - by their teachers and teacher’s pets... No liberals are being bullied anywhere. “
You know I just heard the story a college student told of her parents who immigrated from the Soviet Union.
She said that the communists made fun and bullied her mother so much that all she could do is recite the Pslams about having faith that God defends his children.
The Christian believers in the Soviet Union were constantly ridiculed and harassed in schools and in the army.
When her father was 19 he was in the Soviet army and because of his faith, they made him stand out in a snow storm naked.
Finally the couple decided to come to America where they could be Christian without harassment. They raised five children and they are all strong believers.
Hmmm. I thought our nation was founded to get away from persecution?
Now is it becoming mainstream.
Thanks. This guy is one angry fag.
Remarkable — he was hired to demonstrate a textbook example of bullying, in real time, to a group of high school kids.
I hate to think we're moving in the direction of the old Soviet Union, but it does seem that way. Your story speaks of great pain, humiliation and courage. I pray we never get as bad as they were... that our people don't have to suffer as they suffered. Thanks for sharing.
“I pray we never get as bad as they were”
Reagan said that this is the last bastion of freedom on the earth and that if we lose it, no one will have any place to escape to. Let’s hope some patriots step up to save the union and our culture.
And he’s a narrow minded bigot! He doesn’t understand that he and his type are bullies - they hate traditional Christians and I’ll bet they don’t even know any...
The funny thing is the whole anti-bullying crap is back firing. People are starting to fight back. My children have no respect for teachers. They learned that lack of respect from me. They fully understand that any teacher that belongs to a union and is unwilling to be individually evaluated on their knowledge and ability to teach is worthless, vile, socialist scum. The anti-bullying scheme is for teachers, not students. It exists so teachers are not attacked for there indoctrination of the children.
I take every chance that I have to bully teachers and all “protected-class” people. And to think, I was raised to be respectful to authority and not to bully anyone. Only recently have I lost all respect for authority and have become a bully myself.
Come on - I’ve never met the conservative who bullied anyone. The guy how hit out at Christian children is the rule - not the exception. Your story doesn’t ring true. Tell me, how do you ‘bully’ anyone? The Tea Party wouldn’t back you. Christian conservatives don’t back that kind of behavior. The schools would NEVER put up with a conservative even standing up to them. So, tell me. Please.
this bullying non issue has always been about the fags
