Dad?

[lady lawyer]

What about the other girls who don't want this jr. nasty dyke eyeballing them with sexual interest?

[janetgreen]

The new American way - declare yourself a member of a special interest group, then sue for bucks when you find out that not everyone agrees with you.

[AppyPappy]

If it worries you, you need something else to think about. Half the womyn gym teachers were/are probably that way.

Dad?

My only question:

Is that really a picture of a GIRL?!?

Maybe there's something to this "born gay" stuff after all.....< snicker >

Schools Could Be Sued For Teaching About Homosexuality, Report Claims

Lively countered Besen's arguments by claiming homosexuals exaggerate concerns about school safety to advance their own political cause.

"There is no problem with school safety," Lively said. "Schools have the authority to stop harassment by students, but you don't solve that problem by dividing them up into groups."

He suggested the best way to address the liability problems would be for schools to stop addressing homosexuality in the classroom and in after-school activities and instead to concentrate on the more traditional subjects of reading, writing and arithmetic.

Yeah, and when I was in high school, the distinct possibility made me uncomfortable. If any of those teachers had admitted their sexual orientation, I would have complained to the administration about them standing in the showers, checking us to make sure we showered adequately.

I don't blame those high school girls for being uncomfortable. And I don't think their complaints are unreasonable.

A bad cough caused by breathing in her cousins’ secondhand smoke at a family party interrupted her frequently.

Interesting, gratuitous anti-smoking jab here, too.

No point reading past that part. Could that cough perhaps have been caused by carpet fibers?

Um, yeah, sure, a bad cough caused by a few hours at a family party, eh? Sure . . .

This country needs to get back to heavy handed "majority rule".To hell with the courts.

I was just thinking to myself that the poor thing doesn't have too many options.

[AppyPappy]

I bet she smokes.
