For those who don't see anything wrong with the kid getting punished for expressing his opinion . . .
If the teacher had been a KKK member, put up a pic of some hooded KKK members, threw positive comments out about the KKK in class and this kid turned around and told his classmate that he disapproved of the KKK because he thought it was wrong and subsequently got punished for saying such, what would your reaction be?
Mine would be exactly the same as it is for the kid expressing his disapproval of homosexuality. It isn't the subject matter that's the controversy here (well, it is on the teacher's end) but the fact that this kid got punished for expressing/voicing his opinion.
I'm having a difficult time with equating gays with the KKK.
Yes, it does sound like the teacher was too gay friendly since being gay friendly is forbidden in school. But it also sounds like the kid was disrespectful of his teacher. IMO, they are both in the wrong.
Oh stop with the bullshit . . . I'm not equating gays with the KKK and you know it.
The kid was punished for expressing his disagreement with the teacher on the topic of homosexuality. I still don't see where the kid was disrespectful I just see where he voiced his differing opinion and got punished for that.
