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

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./color> 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./color> Charles Mims/color> http://www.the-sandbox.org/smaller>/color>/fontfamily>

[TheSandbox] Boy Punished For Speaking of Gay Mom
/smaller>/fontfamily> LAFAYETTE,
Louisiana (AP) --/color> 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."
