How the hell does a politician think that the way to prevent gay/lesbian bullying is by adding more social studies about gay/lesbian history????
Bullying is a general problem…It’s a disciplinary issue that can/should be addressed by a disciplinary action…which if the school was doing it’s job and/or parents doing their respective jobs would be addressed.
Putting a bunch of history lessons on gay/lesbian social studies to counter bullying makes as much sense as expanding the social studies to include all other types/categories of people being bullied, including not limited to
1. Nerds/geeks… Well shit, jocks pick on whimpy nerds/geeks all the time. Why not expand the social studies to include the history of nerds/geeks contribution to our society… Afterall, if we all read about Bill Gates, the next time we see a nerd/geek, we’ll be more sensitive…
2. Obese people. why not include social studies to include the contributions that obese people have made to our society. Obese people in school get picked on all the time. Even liberal folks like some people here (not naming names), who champion diversity, always rails against “fat people”….
When does this hypersensitivity “training” ever going to end???
