California set to teach gay history and rights in schools

Conservatism Blamed for Gay Teen Suicides

Chicago (AP) - Suicide attempts by gay teens -- and even straight kids -- are more common in politically conservative areas where schools don't have programs supporting gay rights, a study involving nearly 32,000 high school students found....

Well California is going broke...is broke. So it's sink or swim for a lot of those whack jobs. In the mean time they are going to have to choose what they want to use tax payers $$$$ for...teaching classes that count like mathematics or these whack job classes.

[Danno 1,228]

That is only for homophobes like you who think that gay people are somehow disgusting or beneath you.

HEy , you can fawn over two men in poo-play if you want... but for most folks, that sick stuff, but feel free to be an

independent thinker" on the matter.

You can't exactly control what you see you know. It's a big world, kids are going to see all manner of things. That's life.

Weak argument. How about for now we just focus on enforcing our laws during these parades. Thats really all I want. Nobody is here to piss on anyones parade.

Why is it a weak argument - it's how things are. You can't wrap your kids in cotton wool. Sometimes they are going to see/hear things that you don't like.

Deal with it.

Faulkner: Teachers' union support for cop-killer outrages widow

I am Maureen Faulkner, the widow of Philadelphia Police Officer Daniel J. Faulkner. On December 9, 1981, my 25 year-old-husband was murdered in cold blood by Mumia Abu-Jamal while he lay wounded and unarmed on a cold sidewalk.

I recently became aware that The California Federation of Teachers, a branch of the AFL-CIO, adopted a resolution last month at its annual conference supporting convicted cop-killer Abu-Jamal, who it call a "journalist" and has called for a new trial for him based on some ridiculous "new evidence" that its uninformed members conjured up to serve their purpose.

The committee report reads: "Therefore, be it resolved, that the California Federation of Teachers reaffirm its support and demand that the courts consider the evidence of innocence of Mumia Abu-Jamal."

The truth about "civil rights activist" Abu-Jamal is readily available online (http://www.danielfaulkner.com) to anyone with an ounce of personal integrity who cares to read them.

At the site, you can read the actual words by the five eye-witnesses to my husband's murder, all who witnessed it as they stood less than 60 feet away. The posted information is not my spin on the ballistics evidence that unquestionably ties Abu-Mumia to the gun that fired the high-velocity ammunition that ended my husband's life. Or you can read about how Abu-Mumia, when taken to a hospital after he slaughtered my husband, to remove a bullet shot in self-defense from my husband's gun, said in front of two witnesses, "I shot the ... and I hope the ... dies."

If this "teachers" organization had shown even a modest amount of professionalism and decency by taking just a few moments to research the actual facts of my husband's brutal murder, it would have seen that the courts have in fact reviewed the "new evidence" presented over the past three decades by Abu-Jamal and his lying gaggle of attorneys.

You would also see that every one of over a dozen appellate court judges who have exhaustively reviewed these fabricated fairy tales has found them to be patently false. But to know the truth would not serve the California Federation of Teachers' political and social purpose, so it tells the necessary lies and inflicts further pain on my family and me.

Thursday, I called and spoke with Marty Hittelman, president of the California Federation of Teachers, to inquire if I had the facts straight regarding its endorsement of the murderer of my husband.

During my brief conversation with Mr. Hittelman, I calmly asked him if he knew what happened the night my husband was murdered. He replied that he did not know and "he has not read any of the transcripts" yet, he believes "Abu-Mumia deserves a third trial."

He told me that the resolution (by the teachers) only took one minute and he had not personally voted on it. I responded that it may have only taken one minute but the continuing trials, appeals and propaganda have resulted in many years of emotional distress for me and my family. He replied, "I'm sure it has."

He also said this wasn't supposed to get out into the press, asking, How did you find out about this?" I replied that I found out through the newspapers and told him, "You have no idea what victims go through when they lose a loved one to murder." At this point, Hittelman hung up on me!

There was a time when I and many others admired teachers for their honesty and integrity. We believed that they, of all people, would seek to uncover the truth rather than to politicize a tragedy for their own gain. Unfortunately, many organizations across the country — like the one Hittleman leads — have turned the vast majority of the American public against their members.

We can no longer trust many of our teachers because we know they have been indoctrinated with lies and because they allow political ideology to trump their responsibility to tell the truth. Organizations like Hittleman's, which champion racist, politically motivated killers like Mumia Abu-Jamal, have defiled a time-honored profession that is the foundation of everything great about our society.

How dare the California Federation of Teachers support a remorseless hate-filled cop killer, let alone do so in the name of California's teachers.

I think the question WE want to know the answer to is why YOU are so passionate.

After all, YOU (and Why_Me) amongst others are the ones characterising homosexuality in emotive, sensationalist terms.

[Zero Sum 305]

Enter the tangents.

[_Simpson_ 250]

If I knew a Pride parade was going to have dudes showing their hardware, I wouldn't go either.

I have not seen this personally. Hence, I can't generalize one instance of behavior on an an entire demographic because that's what a moron would do.

Please point out to me where I did such a thing. Also its not just one moron doing this, there are plenty. It is a problem with these parades.

The conclusions to be drawn from this are as follows:

You hate gays

You hate Californians

You think Californian is synonymous with gay.

That's not exactly a rational argument, Kip. Sounds like someone grasping desperately at straws.

You failed to answer the question. Why cant I just ask that the police do a better job enforcing the laws? This way my child would have less of a chance being exposed to such a situation.
