It's OK for teacher to call a conservative a Nazi, not ok to be anti-gay

    You mean the one where the CONSERVATIVES are complaining about what a teacher said and want that teacher fired for an arguably accurate description?

    As it has already been said. People don't choose to be gay, while they do choose to be members of a political party. It is okay to critize people for their choices, not for things not in their powers. therefore, comparing the two is not an accurate comparison.

    It's perfectly logical under the pseudo-religion of secular humanist Marxism that infests the Left.

    So they are extremely active (ie...they got 66 in their caucus in one year), they have a massive grass roots movement strategized and focused through Freedomworks.org (One million Facebooks just for the Freedomworks FB, not counting all the indy TEA Party orgs), they changed the face of American politics in 2010 with the biggest swing historically, from a Messiah, Congress and Senate super majority in 2008.

    They have now tasted how sweet an organized voting block is, finally, after witnessing the Libs have organized union voting blocks for decades...and you think they are going away?

    I don't know whether to laugh or cry at your naivety.

    As long as they weren't doing it from school property on school time then I don't see why either one of them should be disciplined.

    Of course, the t-party Nazis won't see it that way...

    the issue has nothing to do with being gay,

    It's about applying freedom of speech in a non-biased manner.

    I agree with the first sentence.

    the 2nd sentence is just gratuitous bull(*)(*)(*)(*)

    Which I gave the reasoning for. It is okay to critize something you choose to do. If you want absolute freedom of speech, then the school has the right to be hypocritical if they want, and stick out their tounge at you while they do it. Either way, you don't get what you want.

    Todd, Todd, Todd. I do so love your posts. They just make me chuckle.

    The liberals are arguing that one form of speech should be protected and the other not and the conservatives are arguing that both forms of speech should be protected and you up and post that the Tea-Party Nazis won't see it that way.

    Tell me, do you ever check what you have typed before hitting the submit button?

    Frogger, Frogger, Frogger, FroggerFroggerFrogger...

    I'm a liberal. So you'd think that, after having read and replied to my post, you would see that your statement "the liberals are arguing that one form of speech should be protected and the other not" is either an example of stupidity, the lack of simple comprehensive reading skills or a deliberate attempt to misinform.

    honors student suspended for telling friend in class that he thinks gay sex is immoral: teacher overhears and does the liberal thought police thing

    teacher of the year in FL suspended for posting his opinion on his Facebook page. It just so happened to be a conservative opinion

    bake salers at UC Berkley may face punitive measures for free speech- it just so happens to differ from liberal opinion


    nah, it's all in our heads. Can you really be so dishonest and believe what you post?

    Todd, Todd, Todd, Todd, Todd, Todd, Todd, Todd, Todd, (we could go on forever with the names)

    I am referring to your last sentence in the quoted piece, not the piece in its entirety. While you, as an individual liberal may have been a voice of sanity, the majority of liberals in this thread are not. They are arguing that one form of free speech is okay but the other not.

    Your statement about the Tea-Party flew in the face of the reality of the thread responses.

    I assure you, I am neither stupid or unable to read for comprehension, having in fact, taught the skill for many years, and I am not attempting to misinform, but to shed the light of clarity on the discussion.

    His statements were not correct, they were rude, and uncalled for.

    What you seem to be missing is that his statements were aimed at ONE person. Not an entire group of people.

    Do I think he should be reprimanded? Yes. There was no reason to get that heated. It unprofessional and sets a horrible example for the youth of that school.

    Whoa slow down. I don't think we had all the info on that case. Based on what little unverified info I had I quite clearly said there was an over reaction. You need to give credit where credit is due.

    Well since you refuse to provide a link we are going to just assume what the teacher posted was a homophobic slur. The Constitution does not prevent you from being fired from your job for being an idiot.

    sorry.

    Well Frogger ol' pal, I'm sure you'll be able to go back and find me an explicit example of how all the libruls are "arguing that one form of speech should be protected and the other not". Thanks in advance bud.

    Unless of course you're a liberal then you can say whatever you want and get away with it
