High School Teachers Refuse to Fly Gay Flag
The Left's campaign to homosexualize children has hit a small snag in the Bay Area, where five teachers at San Leandro High School have refused to comply with a school district order to display this in their classrooms:
The rebels cited religious issues, but according to district Superintendent Christine Lim, who initiated the policy, "This is not about religion, sex or a belief system. This is about educators making sure our schools are safe for our children, regardless of their sexual orientation."
The sexual orientation of our children? And these screwball degenerates are running schools? But wait, she just said this isn't about sex. The important thing is, they are protecting the children — you're not against that, are you?
Gay art teacher Tom Laughlin oversaw the poster's design by students. He can vouch for the need to propagandize on behalf of tolerance. Once a student called him a "fag."
But this isn't about protecting people from being called names, which is a practice we are unlikely to eradicate from high schools. It's about making it very clear that everyone must get on board with the official ideology. As Bookworm points out, the poster "amounts to a gay flag."
What will happen to the five conscientious objectors? Who knows, but the attitude of Principal Amy Furtado sounds ominous:
Furtado said she is confident that every teacher eventually will comply with the district mandate. She said she intends to work with those teachers who have refused to ensure they comply with the order.
This isn't the first culture war battle fought at San Leandro High. When English teacher Karl Debro was actually disciplined for outraging parents by using his position to inflict pro-homosexuality politics on children, he sued and was awarded over $1,000,000. Imagine how long he would have to teach English to make that kind of money. This should go some ways toward explaining high property taxes, as well as why people who can afford to tend to get their kids out of public schools.

And you can't fly Old Glory there for fear of offending somebody.

If the school hasn't already taken them aside to "assert the school's position," then expect it soon. They'll either suddenly "get with the program," have their pay docked, or be forced to resign.
And should they turn around and sue the school, the court will probably rule the in school's favor due to the teacher's refusal to promote the state's liberal brainwashing.

Mandate? Is that Barney Frank's weekend plans?

Is that actually true? You can't fly the flag but can display this other crap?
