Children pick up from the general culture that homosexuality is something weird, different or bad, many say. It certainly has health hazards!

Maybe instead of trying to "re-educate" the normal kids, they should try to "re-educate" the homosexuals.

Mitchell's mother, Teri Erickson, helped found a Gay, Lesbian, Straight Education Network chapter in San Mateo County as a result of her son's harassmentI just got tired of it. I decided that I just needed to give my son the skills to protect himself.''
Well founding a chapter in support of deviants isn't really a way to protect him that I can see. Why not teach him how to fight?

Mitchell's mother, Teri Erickson, helped found a Gay, Lesbian, Straight Education Network chapter in San Mateo County as a result of her son's harassment. But she says little has changed. Yeh, instead of keeping their sexual desires and thoughts to themselves, you encoraged the kids to identify themselevs and set themselves apart. Brilliant idea, lady. That would never lead to harassment.

``Most of my sixth-grade year was a living hell,'' said Jacob Rubin, 13, now an eighth-grader at Willard Middle School in Berkeley who said he was labeled gay because of his long hair.A kid was called names....because of long hair....in Berkeley!
Yeah, right.

San Carlos middle-schooler Mitchell Erickson still endures gay epithets that started in elementary school, when he said he liked the Spice Girls. Come on. HE was asking for it, and I'm only half-joking. Kids are going to pick on other kids, that's the reality. This kid handed them the rope, in my opinion.

"...One day I was actually sitting in class when four boys hit me.'' You would expect a girl to say this. What a weenie!

Total BS.

Actually the pro Gay Agenda and pro Gay bias is rampant in our schools, our universities, the media, Follywood, left wing legislatures and of course with any rat politician.
They hate the normal side being presented as the normal side.
They prefer that their short perverted life spans be seen seen as normal instead of the perverted and diseased dark side reality that is the life of a homosexual.
Tough! Put some ice on it! The reality of the sick/perverted and ill life styles are being dragged out into the open for all to see!

How gay is THAT!?!?!

Children pick up from the general culture that homosexuality is something weird, different or bad, many say. And a major portion of the homosexual agenda is to be accepted as normal and good - which is ludicrous. It is weird, it is different, and it's bad for those who choose to live this way. While it's their choice, I DO NOT HAVE TO APPROVE !

``It's the influence of society or some religions,'' said Greg Muller, a San Jose High Academy senior who started a Gay-Straight Alliance club this year.Oh c'mon, Greg, just tell us which "religions" you mean.

LOL!
Younger people can see the obvious, before being conditioned to be blind to fatal perversions and deviancies.
Sounds simply like mother nature at work.
Why is this news?

When are homos goin to realize that some people are just appalled and sickened at the thought of being gay ? I guess we will have to oulaw human emotion and thought.

It sounds like the kids being picked on are NOT gay.
``Most of my sixth-grade year was a living hell,'' said Jacob Rubin, 13, now an eighth-grader at Willard Middle School in Berkeley who said he was labeled gay because of his long hair. ``I was called `gay,' `faggot,' `homo.' I was called a lesbian once. One day I was actually sitting in class when four boys hit me.'' This was about his long hair. So teach tolerance for long hair.
No 13 year old should be deciding he is gay anyway. Especially since the activists say that you cannot change. He should at least reach the age of consent before committing to it.
This is just a twisting of the circumstances to fit their political agenda. Kids tease each other. It starts when they begin to talk. Teaching them to be polite is a good thing, but it isn't about gayness. This is really stupid.

The word ``gay'' is used widely among schoolchildren as a term for anything bad, students and adults say. Children pick up from the general culture that homosexuality is something weird, different or bad, many say. Nope. If that were the case "gay" would have been used as a sobriquet in my day (FReepers, you know you're getting old when the phrase "in my day" comes popping out between the dentures) but in fact, it's a quite recent piece of slang. It is a reaction. It is a reaction to an overly aggressive and overmanipulative "acceptance" campaign that has gone way too far too fast. Kids do pick up on that, and the upshot is that real gay kids are hurt, not helped, but this PC groupthink. It backfires if it's overdone, and boy, has it ever been overdone! It causes more, not less, harrassment - kids are quite rightfully resentful of being lectured to for an offense of which most of them are innocent anyway.
There is a certain academic, theory-based approach to pedagagy that has gained popularity as the administration of the curricula has become more of a specialist occupation and less in the hands of the individual classroom teacher. This has, as one of its ground assumptions, the incredibly condescending approach that children, even late adolescents, are still tabula rasa, blank little lumps of clay to be formed by adults who are much cleverer by virtue of some sort of academic sanction. And the older the kids, the angrier this attitude makes them. The kids are more mature than the educators (not the field teachers) make them out to be; in fact, it is a sad but increasingly true state of affairs when the kids are more mature than the educators themselves.
