I don't know how they band got invited to the school in the first place.  Students are now circulating a petition asking the administration not to invite that band or others like it back again.   That particular band wants to come back, though, to further explain their point of view.

 I've been reading their fan tweets. I don't think this "group" has any business anywhere near a government funded institution for the education of minor children. They can take the hate mongering rhetoric to an adult private college campus, IMHO, if they have anything more to say.

How exactly does someone in education ever come to the conclusion that bullying children and public ridicule is an acceptable method of teaching? Me thinks this admin has no business making any decisions concerning the minor children of any of his constituents but his own.

I'm just shocked. I sent it to George Takei's page too. He's a vocal advocate against all bullying, not just the LGBT community. Because I think every child at this school was just bullied and betrayed in the worst possible way by the people that were appointed to protect them.

Oh, other children were bullied as well.  Girls were told they would have "mud on their wedding dresses" if they were not virgins when they got married and then were told they should submit to their husbands when they did get married.  They were all told abortion is wrong and shown graphic pictures of aborted fetuses.

Now, I know many people believe you should not have sex before marriage and that abortion is wrong, and I support their rights to their beliefs.  I just don't think a school assembly is the place to share those believes, particularly in a way that apparently left many children in tears.  Those are moral issues that parents should teach their children, in accordance with their beliefs.

OMFG! If my child came home from school and told me he had to endure this, I would be SO PISSED!!!!!!
(my child isn't gay, but I AM!!)

This is absolutely UNNACCEPTABLE!

The Temerity of some of these homophobes!
I think that we should let them know of the study done that says over 80% of homophobic people were actually secretly homosexual themselves, and afraid to admit it. They bully and ridicule out of jealousy!!!!!!

Oh, I think if I had a child at that school, I would be pulling them out of school tomorrow and homeschooling.  I don't think I would send a child back there.  I cannot believe they thought it was an appropriate presentation for school children.  Especially public school.

 I'm still trying to find out where in the bible it declares all homosexuals to die by 42.

I shared the petition Kelly. thanks for bringing this to my attention.

I'm not familiar with that passage in the Bible myself.  And I have read quite a bit of it.

 It must be a new version of the KJV, consider Tchaikovsky made it to 53.

If you think about it. Jesus NEVER had anything to say about homosexuals. Paul is the one who had the problem with them, and he NEVER even met Jesus.
