Christian Right leader: We need to stop the teachers and their anti-bullying gaystapo

[ck4829]

Mission America's Linda Harvey is incensed the National Education Association endorsed anti-bullying initiatives that protect children from bullying based on sexual orientation. According to Harvey, Americans should sue the NEA to prevent the burgeoning “gaystapo” from enacting anti-bullying programs:

NEA’s anti-bullying campaign will include a strand on creating safe work environments to include: 1) support plans within the organization for members bullied, harassed, or exposed to hate language; 2) student discipline plans that stop bullying, harassment, and use of hate language; 3) contract language that secures safe work environments for all our members.

The "hate language" policy is bad enough. Will this result in even more "gay"stapo efforts to silence Christians and conservatives? Or to position students and fellow staff who dare to express traditional moral beliefs as speaking "hate language"?

But.... "Contract language"?? In other words, parents, get ready. Teachers are going to transform the local school into an even more ideological monolith as they negotiate away your rights to not have your child propagandized, in order that they, the teachers, feel "safe" from certain viewpoints. It's the control freak tendency of the tolerant left,once again.

Where are the anti-discrimination class action suits against the NEA when we need them?

1. Linda Harvey is Phyllis Schlafly without the brains.......

Scary thought. :scared:

2. The true translation of Linda's comments-

"We ought to be able to beat as many fa*s as we want!". Disgusting person.

3. My only issue with this recent crusade for anti-bullying is this....

it should not be focused on just bullying kids that are gay but bullying in general. I was bullied as a kid even though I a cute straight white girl. But I tested a high IQ, which kinda made me a know-it-all plus the fact that I rarely go out in the sun (very pale skin). Hell I had kids bully me because I wasn't CHRISTIAN enough. Seriously!

The thing is this - mean kids will seek out those who stand out from others and use them for bullying. And it doesn't matter your sexual orientation, race, sex, etc. etc. etc.

There should be a zero tolerance law when it comes to bullying.

7. +1

You've nailed it.

what might this person say about bullying Christians? I'm sure she'd find it ok to bully other religions and non-religions..

[richmwill]

10. Agreed.

I have a walking disability due to my Cerebral Palsy, so you can imagine the bullying I went through. Bullying is plain wrong, in all of its forms.

14. Bingo

100% agree. No kid should ever be bullied for any reason, though it does make sense to focus on the most vulnerable, which gay kids certainly are.

I was mercilessly bullied as a child until I found friends who would stand up for me. And they did with a vengeance on more than one occasion. I was accelerated two grades in school and was always the smallest and smartest kid in the class and not very socially skilled. Forty years later I found out that I am on the autism spectrum.

4. another Hate Group

5. She's equating bullying with Christian behaviour, as if they are indistinguishable. Nice.

:sarcasm:

6. There is something so wrong with these people.

The hate has risen to a psychotic level. They're on autopilot now just hating away all day every day. Seriously some of them need to be locked away until they calm down.

8. Thanks for the alert, ck4829, K & R

These cockroaches need to be exposed over and over. They do NOT speak for all Christians; like so many hate groups, they have hijacked the name.

9. Long history of this in rightwing churches and media that we ignore to our peril.

11. And being a good RW Xtan leader, Linda would rather enjoy

watching gay students get beaten to a bloody pulp. She would say it is 'right in the eyes of God'.

[Taverner]

12. God I hate the fundies...

I hate them

Not 'dislike' them

Not 'angry' with them

But downright fucking HATE them

Call me sick, wrong, the Anti-Gandhi, whatever...

Some people are fully deserving of hate

inside this moran's empty cranium.
