Isn’t the Tennessee State Legislature Noble for Keeping Religious Issues Out of the Classroom?
Question by : Isn’t the Tennessee state legislature noble for keeping religious issues out of the classroom?
As opposed to the CA which established a bill requiring all public school students to learn about gay history, regardless of religious beliefs or sexual orientation, Tennessee is taking a much more proactive approach by banning any such talks in all state public schools out of respect to religious freedoms in the US Constitution and the Wall of Separation Principle (The separation of church and state).
While California compromised our nation’s ideals for the incessantly inferior and gay population which is rightfully looked down upon (for higher drug abuse, irresponsible sexual practices), Tennessee has taken a stand against these potentially damaging behaviors in the spirit of this country and for what’s right.
Isn’t this a noble cause? Thoughts?

As a heterosexual American, I can say that I am proud of Tennessee for discouraging religious extremism in the classroom and cannot understand why other states, such as California, want to limit this freedom by pushing through an agenda in their public schools.
@Dass First of all, I said it was a religious issue. Second, do you honestly think that Christians support homosexuality with open arms? Are you an idiot?

Oh yeah.
“If we never mention the words “gay, lesbian, bisexual, homosexual, or transgendered” in school at all, ever, we can pretend that the people described by these words don’t exist, and we can simply ignore them entirely. Then maybe they’ll all just go away.”
Yeah, that’s a real mature and helpful thing to do (NOT). Kind of like sticking your fingers in your ears and shouting “LA LA LA!!! I CAN’T HEAR YOU! YOU DON’T EXIST!”
IDIOTS.
