Yeah.... I do get pissed, just like everyone else, when I hear about
the removing of the 10 commandments and such... I also have a
working theory that every generation thinks that the next generation
is going to be the ruin of civilization. I tend to think that it is more
cyclical than a steady downward trend.

How far back do you suggest we go to get our "standard" for our "moral fabric?"
History is full of atrocities.

*this* is why all this same sex marriage and procreating is destroying our country's moral fabric.

I think their intention was good. It is often used in a derogatory fashion like queer, fag, etc. Also this month they like to be called gay, but not so long ago it was an insult to call them gay, so who can keep up.
Personally I just call them perverts and be finished with it, but the school should have used a little common sense. That's all that was required. I swear people are getting stupider and stupider by the day.

LAFAYETTE, Louisiana (AP) -- A 7-year-old boy was scolded and forced to write "I will never use the word 'gay' in school again" after he told a classmate about his lesbian mother, the American Civil Liberties Union alleged Monday.
Second-grader Marcus McLaurin was waiting for recess November 11 at Ernest Gaullet Elementary School when a classmate asked about Marcus' mother and father, the ACLU said in a complaint.
Marcus responded he had two mothers because his mother is gay. When the other child asked for explanation, Marcus told him: "Gay is when a girl likes another girl," according to the complaint.
A teacher who heard the remark scolded Marcus, telling him "gay" was a "bad word" and sending him to the principal's office. The following week, Marcus had to come to school early and repeatedly write: "I will never use the word 'gay' in school again."
A phone message left for Lafayette Parish schools superintendent James Easton was not immediately returned.
The ACLU is demanding the case be removed from Marcus' file and that the school apologize to the boy and his mother, Sharon Huff.
"I was concerned when the assistant principal called and told me my son had said a word so bad that he didn't want to repeat it over the phone," Huff said. "But that was nothing compared to the shock I felt when my little boy came home and told me that his teacher had told him his family is a dirty word."
