Are you fucking serious? “Religion” or “morals” is not a reason to bully a gay kid or any kid really.

We all should know by now that republicans would rather see children die, than risk their seats of power by offending their xenophobic supporters.

So if I disparage a Christian child, that’s alright, correct? Doesn’t this inadvertently protect teachers who want to convey atheist beliefs or beliefs which otherwise challenge the status quo?

This is one of the most ridiculous things I’ve seen in a long time. The republicans that gutted that bill must have been bullies themselves.

Here’s a link to Bill 4162 (2007). The bill now also has language that says requirements don’t “prohibit a statement of a sincerely held religious belief or moral conviction of a school employee, school volunteer, pupil, or a pupil’s parent or guardian.”

Wait until some Iranian kid tries to use religion to justify beating up a white boy because he was part of the great satan. See how well that religious clause goes over then.
