The Left's War On Christians Title: DOE Investigates Instructor Expressing Opposition to Homosexuality (Obama's queer police)
The Department of Education has launched a federal investigation into comments made by an ROTC instructor in an Alabama school district. After ROTC 1st Sgt. Lynn Vanzandt told a class he opposes same-sex relationships, a 15-year old student contacted GLBT Advocacy and Youth Services. The group complained to the school on behalf of the student, according to the Christian Post. In November, the Department of Education involved the federal government in the compliant. It wrote a letter to GLBT Advocacy and Youth Services. The federal agency informed James Robinson, director of GLBT Advocacy and Youth Services, that the department would investigate whether or not students were “subjected to a hostile environment on the basis of sex or harassment based on failing to conform to gender stereotypes.” DOE also said it would the government will determine if the school district “retaliated against the student… by failing to respond and take action reasonably calculated to stop the peer bullying.” In addition to DOE and the homosexual advocacy group, an atheist organization based in Wisconsin, the Freedom From Religion Foundation, has involved itself in the case. The organization emailed the school district’s superintendent and claimed Vanzandt “bullied” students and “preached” his belief that homosexuality is wrong to them. The DOE response follows a report 2009 survey performed by the Gay Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN), a gay activist organization founded by former Obama administration’s Education Department official Kevin Jennings. “Harassment and bullying are serious problems in our schools, and lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) students are the targets of disproportionate shares of these problems,” the letter sent by Education Secretary Arne Duncan stated. The instructor has since apologized to the students for expressing his opinion about same-sex relationships. The Freedom From Religion Foundation responded by stating that an apology isn’t enough. The Department of education is at the forefront of homosexual advocacy in public schools. In 2011, DOE sent a letter to federally funded schools about establishing clubs on campuses, specifically Gay-Straight Alliance clubs for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender students, CNSNews reported on July 8, 2011.

It was never about tolerance, equal rights and 'gettin along.' It has always been about controlling information, indoctrination and silencing opposing views. It started out 20 years or so ago as "leave us alone and we will leave you alone" (close to the definition of tolerance); then it turned to "you must endorse or accept us" ; to now it is "if you don't accept us and our message, we will use the full force of government to silence you and indict you." Who is the bully now? Notice the "friends" of the gay lobby tyrants...government and atheists. What a cozy relationship.

I love how you homophobic Bible thumpers try to twist things to suit your agenda. Fortunately, most see through it today.
#10. To: meguro (#4) love how you homophobic Bible thumpers try to twist things to suit your agenda. Meguro, if you read my other posts on this subject you would know I fully support the original Oregon law. It gave all the legal equivalents to other than traditional marriage people. I support it because it also protects single moms who are trying to make a living and widows. But it was not good enough for your lobby so they had to add a 'marriage' clause to the updated Oregon bill.
#12. To: redleghunter (#10) But it was not good enough for your lobby so they had to add a 'marriage' clause to the updated Oregon bill. "My lobby" eh? LOL! What's wrong with adding a marriage clause? It IS a marriage. Separate but equal? I think not. We did away with Jim Crow laws years ago.
#13. To: meguro (#12) What's wrong with adding a marriage clause? It IS a marriage. Separate but equal? I think not. We did away with Jim Crow laws years ago. You are doing the 'work' of the gay lobby in your statement. How? By using "Jim Crow" as a vehicle of argument to silence an opinion. Using the "hate" and "race" card is not an argument. Marriage is defined as a union of one man with one woman. You can call your unions whatever you want, but it is not marriage as defined for centuries. Your "unions" are different and if you want the same legal priviledges you can legally fight for them. But whatever it turns out to be, it is not marriage. You cannot change an absolute.
#14. To: redleghunter (#13) (Edited) You are doing the 'work' of the gay lobby in your statement. How? By using "Jim Crow" as a vehicle of argument to silence an opinion. Using the "hate" and "race" card is not an argument. I'm not silencing anyone's opinion. You're free to voice it, and you are doing it right here, loud and clear. I'm bringing up Jim Crow, since your "world view" about marriage is inherently discriminatory, just as Jim Crow was. Marriage is defined as a union of one man with one woman. According to your world view? Your religion? What exactly? You can call your unions whatever you want, but it is not marriage as defined for centuries. Whether or not that's true, so what? Things change over time. We do not live in a stagnant, static vacuum. We correct social injustices in our society (such as slavery and denying women the right to vote), and we become better people as a result. Denying gays the right to marry their lovers is another such social injustice in need of correcting. Your "unions" are different and if you want the same legal priviledges you can legally fight for them. We're fighting for marriage, and we're winning. I know it rocks your world view, and I'm sorry about that, but that's how it goes. You're free to live your life repressed, homophobic, and ignorant, but you have no right to drag us into your flawed, myopic world view. But whatever it turns out to be, it is not marriage. You cannot change an absolute. Of course we can, and we are.

That is your argument. Please don't lead me to having to explain the biology here. So please if you want to respond you should address me as Maestro.
#19. To: redleghunter (#17) I have never played a piano, or conducted but I want to be called a Maestro. That is your argument. Please don't lead me to having to explain the biology here. Open your eyes and smell the coffee, Maestro. Gay marriage already exists in certain US states. Don't you right-wingers believe in states rights?
#22. To: meguro (#19) Gay marriage already exists in certain US states. Don't you right-wingers believe in states rights? Then why are the courts trying to force gay marriage on states that don't want it and their citizens have voted aginst it???
#25. To: CZ82 (#22) (Edited) Then why are the courts trying to force gay marriage on states that don't want it and their citizens have voted aginst it??? What if the citizens of your state don't want you to live there, and they vote to have you move. Should you be forced to move? What gives you the right to tell others who they can or cannot marry? If you're referring to Prop 8 in CA, the court ruled that law unconstitutional. Laws that are deemed unconstitutional cannot exist, even if voted on by the people. So endeth today's civics lesson.
#36. To: meguro (#25) What gives you the right to tell others who they can or cannot marry? Your definition of the word "unconstitutional" seems to be different than just about everybody elses definition of the word "unconstitutional".... (This list also seems to be longer than the last time I looked at it just a few years ago). For instance.... Thirty states have a constitutional ban restricting marriage to one man and one woman. Those states are: •Alabama Alaska •Arizona •Arkansas •California (BTW this isn't over yet it's being reviewed and might go back into effect). •Colorado •Florida •Georgia •Kansas •Kentucky •Idaho •Louisiana •Michigan •Mississippi •Missouri •Montana •Nebraska •Nevada •North Carolina •North Dakota •Ohio •Oklahoma •Oregon •South Carolina •South Dakota •Tennessee •Texas •Utah •Virginia •Wisconsin The following states have laws that ban gay marriage and limit marriage to one man and one woman (but it is not in their constitutions): •Arizona •Delaware •Florida •Hawaii •Illinois •Indiana •Iowa •Maine •Maryland •Minnesota •North Carolina •Pennsylvania •Washington •West Virginia •Wyoming BTW the only reason gay marriage is even being considered in the first place is because the Dems want more permanent members of their voting plantation!! (You're being used and you don't even realize it)... So endeth today's "reality" lesson!!
#37. To: CZ82 (#36) BTW the only reason gay marriage is even being considered in the first place is because the Dems want more permanent members of their voting plantation!! (You're being used and you don't even realize it)... While the GOP uses its alleged opposition to it and abortion to keep you on its plantation. The Supreme Court will rule on it next summer. We shall see.
#38. To: meguro (#37) While the GOP uses its alleged opposition to it and abortion to keep you on its plantation. How can I be on "The GOP Plantation" when I don't vote for them in the first place?? I'm not against abortion, it helps keep the Leftard population in check!! Fewer Leftards = Fewer Taxes I have to pay...
#40. To: CZ82 (#38) How can I be on "The GOP Plantation" when I don't vote for them in the first place?? What's funny is that it's us Leftards that keep you right-wing degenerates afloat. Without us, you'd be living in a third world cesspool.
#42. To: meguro (#40) Without us, you'd be living in a third world cesspool. Without you guys life would be pretty good, lower taxes rates, lower poverty rates, lower crime rates, no sociopathic liars and no perversions to speak of!! What's not to like about that?? Why is it you guys think it's your sworn duty to drag everybody "DOWN" to your level?? Oh wait, scratch that, I forgot you guys can't bring yourselves to strive to be "individuals"!!
#43. To: CZ82 (#42) Without you guys life would be pretty good, lower taxes rates, lower poverty rates, lower crime rates, no sociopathic liars and no perversions to speak of!! What's not to like about that?? So leave. You won't be missed.
#49. To: meguro (#43) So leave. You won't be missed. Like you!!
