Boy with lesbian mother abused by school

• Homophobia

More about a story I noted yesterday in Amorous Propensities. A teacher heard a boy correctly refer to his lesbian mother as gay. The poor kid was punished for using obscene language and forced to write "I will never say the word `gay' in school again" repeatedly.

Here's what the asshole school system superintendent had to say:

"I have concluded," he said, "that the discipline was related to ordinary student disturbances, which were hindering the classroom learning process and which were addressed in an appropriate fashion by the teacher and school administrator."

He added, "The student was not belittled or embarrassed and this entire matter was reported based on a lack of accurate information."

Wish I could force him to write "I will not use bureaucratic doubletalk again" a few thousand times.

It's not the childs fault that his mother is gay,and it wasnt your place to punish him for it.He just told what he learned and how he lives.Does this mean that none of the other kids will be allowed to play with him because of his mother being gay.You can well bet that if I've heard about this then everyone knows.This kind of action to where it's made world wide is what make some people do stupid things.Don't you know the kind of effect that this will be on this presious child of GOD.Don't punish the child just because you don't believe how his mother lives.It's not your place to JUDGE unless your GOD.That would be pretty neat God being a superintendent at a school.Wake up your supposed to be an example not a judge. You punished a child of GOD,just because you don't believe the way she does.I'm not gay but I think you over stepped your authority.Think of what GOD thought about what you did to one of his children MEME

How do you feel?

Feel free to share your feelings about Boy with lesbian mother abused by school. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted. This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
Richard
