OT: Gay History in California Public Schools

[bearishgurl]

[quote=briansd1][quote=Shadowfax] In CA especially, there is a unique set of factors that made the state what it is today, and the homosexual population of SF in particular makes for interesting course material.

And if you care about real estate you will want to learn about how gays have contributed to real estate values. San Francisco, West Hollywood, Hillcrest… gays have turned bad neighborhoods into sought after gentrified enclaves.

Gays were very good at identifying value in under rated urban neighborhoods, close to everything. If you had bought a house in Hillcrest back in the early 1980s, you would be worth much more today than you had bought a similarly priced house in Temecula.[/quote]

brian, I hadn’t thought of this (indirect) “contribution” but it’s so true!

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???[/quote]

BTW, I’m all for a mandatory weight management class and teaching kids where food comes from and how to cook it. It might be a good thing to start vegetable gardens on school grounds also.

Obesity is manageable. The problem is that kids think that eating pizza and drinking coke in front of the TV is normal. Not.

Oscar Wilde was gay and fat. He was also persecuted for being gay. Add him to the reading assignments.[/quote]

And thanks again for proving the irony between your claim to being a “liberal, all accepting, all inclusive person” and at the same time your view that “obese” people should be “managed”….(Why should obese people go through a mandatory weight management program? Why shouldn’t other’s just accept obese people?) You know, there are some people who are genetically “obese”….Not any different that some people who were born with a particular orientation…….

Corollary Rule to Life (that I should print on a t-shirt):

Everyone is prejudice in one shape or form or degree…Anyone who says otherwise, is just full of it….
(I’m not suggesting prejudice is a good thing..)[/quote]

If obese people need to go through a weight management course then poor people need to go through a money management and motivational course.

People aren’t ‘born poor’ in the sense that they are genetically predisposed to be that way. It’s obviously a result of (bad) personal choices.

So, why is it that liberals like Brian want to hold the fat accountable but not the poor?

I’m suggesting that every student (thin or fat) should learn about eating well so they can become healthier or stay healthy.

Being big-boned or husky or full-figured is a genetic predisposition.

Getting to the point of obesity is a food consumpion issue.

Weight management is a personal responsibility and health issue. I care about fat people. I don’t want them to become sick and diseased.

BTW, the First Lady is doing a great job teaching by example how to eat better.

I also support financial management education. High school children should learn about credit cards, mortgages, student loans, etc…. I only wish the financial industry lobbyists would support that.
