WaterMan Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 (edited) Tennessee had to make a law ontop of a law to make sure being gay isn't talked about in schools. http://www.upi.com/Odd_News/2011/04/23/Ten...23851303590600/ Tennessee mulls 'don't say gay' bill Published: April 23, 2011 at 4:30 PM KNOXVILLE, Tenn., April 23 (UPI) -- A Tennessee state Senate committee approved a bill to ban teachers from discussing homosexuality with students who have not yet entered the ninth grade. The measure, dubbed the "don't say gay" bill by sponsor Sen. Stacey Campfield, R-Knoxville, was approved Wednesday by the Senate Education Committee despite an argument from Sen. Jim Tracy, R-Shelbyville, who said current law already prohibits the teaching of any sex education not covered by the state Board of Education's "family life curriculum," the Knoxville News Sentinel reported Friday. However, Campfield contended homosexuality is being discussed in classrooms. Tracy proposed the bill be amended to have the Board of Education study the issue and determine whether homosexuality is being discussed against state regulations. The Tracy amendment passed, along with a second amendment stating language banning the teaching of homosexuality would be added to the "family life curriculum" at the end of the board's study. The revised bill was approved 6-3.

rattsass Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Yeah, you can't swing a dead cat without hiting ghey in this country. Having teachers talk about it would just be a big circle jerk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yo mama Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 I weep at how much misspent effort went to this project, rather than to improving the quality of the education being provided to all students - straight, gay, or ambiguously Canadian.
