Duct tape amends T-shirts (homosexual agenda)

Students who wore attire with an offensive word in gay rights debate allowed to tone it down.

Turns out there's yet another use for duct tape.

Rio Linda High School students who were suspended last week for wearing offensive T-shirts to school can put them back on -- as long as they cover the word "sodomy" with duct tape.

Several students were suspended last week for wearing T-shirts that said "Sodomy is sin." The shirts were a response to the national Day of Silence, a day of activism when some students take a daylong vow of silence in support of gay friends and family members.

According to an agreement reached Monday morning between conservative religious leaders and school district administrators, students are now allowed to wear the shirts at school -- if they're altered.

"We're looking at what can sanitize the shirts," said Jacques Whitfield, an attorney for the Grant Joint Union High School District.

As school districts wrestle with the growth of both participation in and opposition to Day of Silence, districts are taking a variety of responses. San Juan Unified, for instance, suspended about 15 students for wearing the same "sodomy" T-shirts last week. Natomas Unified, on the other hand, said students could wear them without repercussion.

Grant's board policy prohibits students from wearing anything with messages that are "crude, vulgar, profane or sexually suggestive."

The word sodomy fit that bill, Whitfield said.

But the rest of the shirt was OK.

It said: "Hate is sin" and quoted two passages from the Bible.

"The district fully supports the right of students to express their religious views," Whitfield said.

"You have to do it in a way that does not create uncomfortable or discriminatory feelings on the part of other students."

Ooookaaaay??? And the "Day of Silence" isn't sexually suggestive? The whole day is a day that champions... YOU GOT IT! SODOMY!!!

Sheeeeeeez. When will these eggheads ever learn? Hypocrisy is BS.

Folks.... if you love your children you will work to defund the public indoctrination camps of Marxist propaganda known as public schools and teach your children yourself. I guarantee that their education is worth a lot more than an extra car or a fishing boat.

JMHO!!!

Can they say Homosexuality is a sin or did they ban the word homosexuality? Or how about 'Gay is sin', would that be OK?

So that t-shirt is offensive, yet a day that implicitly celebrates the act is ok. Now I've got it!

Filthy acts and filthy people earn filthy labels. Faggots commit the grievous sin of sodomy.

To tell you the truth, I think their major rub is equating ANYTHING as a sin. You could probably wear a shirt saying, "Lying is a sin" and the Principal would not let you wear it because he/she would be uncomfortable being judged.

How about:

SODOMYISIN

It is "in" isn't it? And if you perceive my shirt to be an attack on sin, well -- if you feel that way, I guess it's your business.

The gay agenda in regard to promulgating its views in the name of education is abominable. Maybe I am too old fashioned, but aren’t there more important things to learn (like reading and writing and math and science) than gaiety 101? The gay activist agenda claims loudly and proudly that they were born gay with large credence given to genetics. Now, I think differently. Thee are too many variables and levels for homosexuality to be purely a result of genetics. I am not saying genetics doesn’t play a part, but I don’t believe that there is a gay gene. I think sexuality has a habitual component to it as well. Maybe the word I am looking for is something in the ballpark of societal reinforcement. Once that societal reinforcement is watered down, there is a chance that the subject has a larger possibility of being attracted to the same sex. I think this is more so with males than females. Gay activists know this but will never admit it. You create an atmosphere in the schools where there is no gender reinforcement and the greater fluidity in who one is possibly attracted to, and the gay lobby are very happy campers. Gay activists better pray there is no gay gene because I wonder how many would opt for abortion if they knew their kid was gay or lesbian (I am in no way advocating this, just speaking hypothetically)

isn't this unconstitutional as hell? (1st Amendment + 14th Amendment?) And while I doubt an administrator deciding he/she doesn't like a message is adequate due process, what about equal protection for the speech going on here?

Sin? Lying is a sacrament to the thugs in the anti-Christian public schools.

Couldn't agree more. Defund the "school" system.

Now, I think differently.

Repeat loud and often that homosexuality is a behavior.

After that repeat loud and often that it is a LEARNED BEHAVIOR.

And here I thought the kids don’t park their rights as citizens outside of the school door. I’m glad to see the school has abandoned reading and writing and instituted SODOMY and thought control as part of the curriculum.
