High school teacher suspended after assigning an article on homosexuality in animals

[Chica Yeyé 41]

Besides, Shakespeare should be banned. ####### Rome and Juliet were like 12... doing the nasty. Pervert!!!! Alongisde the usual lovelies of incest, murder, conspiracy to commit murder....

sounds like it takes place in chicago.

Murder, conspiracy to commit murder -- sure.

Incest? Hey! We're not psychos, ya know.

Right... we should move it to Utah then

[Niels Bohr 72]

Understood Shakespeare sonnets, poems, and plays. Hamlet, Romeo & Juliet, whatever...Still did not know the significance of reading such a rudimentary English language. We're not even speaking like them in the modern world. I know more dramas from watching TV alone.

Where the hell is Piasa, and why should I care?

I could give a rat's azz about Piasa, but inserting this not-so-subtle kind of indoctrination into the curriculum of any taxpayer funded public high school is the epitome of poor taste. Minor kids don't need this trash rammed down their throats in public high schools where they are captive audiences at best. Shame on this idiot of a teacher. It ought to be a suspension without pay.

It's science, not indoctrination.

The article ... quotes Joan Roughgarden, a biology professor at Stanford University who challenges Darwinian sexual selection by documenting more than 450 animal species that engage in homosexual behaviors.

this concept is not science, and to teach it as such is a disservice to the children it is foisted upon. "homosexuality" as we understand it has nothing to do with dominance behaviours within the animal kingdom. or does it? next thing you know they will be saying that penguins "love" each other. it is nothing more than anthropomorphism by the undereducated. shcool books and lesson plans are selected by a board that evaluates the educational value of the content, because wackos like this idiot are not qualified to do so.

Leave the science to the actual scientists, farm boy.

You either didn't read the article that was referred to in the OP that discussed the paper or you didn't understand it. Either way, your response is meaningless.
