What if homosexuals with hurt feelings end up killing themselves. Is that just too bad?

This anti-bullying campaign is, as predicted, being used to censor opinions.

Maybe the schools need to quit promoting political topic debates. What's the point if one side is censored?
Oh man, wish I was on the School Board of the district that this school is in! We'd have us a "come to Jesus" meeting" with a dictionary, and I'd make darn sure that school's administrators could define "bullying" and "opinion."

NUTS....and they have our youngest generations MINDS under their influence and to some extent, "control."
See? this is how we finally elected a Communist president.
We have had our kids' brainwashed by these libs for far, too long.

Thank goodness the psychology of it all is that the 'ole pendelum will once again swing, and when it does....no telling how conservative this nation will then be, but it's going to be THEIR fault for causing it.

You can't tell the difference between people who were raised by straight couples and people who were raised by gay couples. Don't believe me? Check it out bro:


Zach Wahls Speaks About Family - YouTube

To say that gay couples shouldn't raise kids isn't an opinion, it's ignorant.

Both sides of the issue were presented in the school newspaper. It was balanced. I fail to see the problem here. Just as this kid's statement could be taken as anti-gay bullying, the act of discouraging his freedom of expression is just as despicable.

It's not like they ONLY ran one opinion or the other. Also... it was an OPINION piece. Someone somewhere seems to forget that opinions and hearsay and what people tell you about others and what the truth actually is are usually completely different.
