Homophobic Teacher Sued

A 17 year girl was suspended by a homophobic teacher who was offended by two overlapping female symbols. The ACLU objects and is suing the teacher for a violation of the student's first amendment right to freedom of expression. The assistant principal explained to the student's parents that the teacher was so offended by the shirt that she could not teach. It seems this teacher needs a lesson in tolerance.

    Fox's Bill O'Riley used to be a high school teacher?! Nightmare! Here's the messed up cretin protesting against lesbian couple Lupe Silva and Brandy Johnson appearing in their school year book as 'Cutest Couple'. Incidentally, I am so proud of the new generation of teenagers, both here in the UK and in the US, who seem to handle sexuality and gayness in such a happy, modern and dignified way. I know a lot of young gay teens that have more maturity in their little finger than this joker.

  • Homosexuality is not a lifestyle anymore than heterosexuality is a lifestyle. You don't choose.

  • Point being: If it were a male and female symbol, nothing would have happened.

    Point being: Who is this teacher, why have they been living in a cave, and why did they decide to make such an obviously stupid decision?

  • Because teachers are like any other segment of the population some are stupid. And ugly, bigoted, prejudiced, selfish, dishonest, judgmental, etc.

  • Wow. Bill O never ceases to amaze me with his ignorance. Fortunately, history proves that people like him can't stand in the way of progress forever.

  • Leaving is never the answer. We must fight together for all that we deserve in this country that we are NOT getting. Together as a community we must stand...then together as a country. Always!

  • Oh, Nailbunnylover, I would let you teach my kids as long as you were a good teacher. THIS COUNTRY NEEDS BETTER TEACHERS.

  • Thank you so much lolitanimatronic. Unfortunately, I am not in the pursuit of a teaching career.
