| my 2 cents User ID: 1040731 Canada07/14/2011 09:04 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | SACRAMENTO -- California became the nation's first state to require its public schools to teach students about the history and contributions of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people Thursday. Quoting: TheBrokerThe new law, SB48, was signed by Gov. Jerry Brown today and will take effect in January. "History should be honest," Brown said in a statement. [link to www.ktvu.com] So whats the deal here? "Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin and oh, btw, he was gay and liked to dress in womens clothing" Why does this have to even be brought up? Absolutely disgusting. Shame on California. Patriotism is supporting your country always -- and your government when they deserve it.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1432849Alan Turing was as gay as they come. its not a matter of "not liking" its a matter of having it thrown in your face. HISTORY class doesn't need to comment on peoples sexual preference. Sure. Porn makes total sense. You want to go rob a couple houses so we can smoke some porn? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1043775 |

Quoting: TheBrokerHISTORY class doesn't need to comment on peoples sexual preference. I can agree with you to some extent, if its random drum-beating then it probably has no place in the classroom. However, the gay movement IS a part of modern history, just like the women's lib movement. It is recognized as a struggle for equality & in that context probably has a place in a history class. But, as with so many things, its not so much WHAT you do but HOW you do it. |
