There was a post that spoke about the number of gays and lesbians in our schools too and that should be of grave concern too since there are so many of them teaching our kids in the classroom. I wonder how many teachers would lose their jobs if we knew everything about their personal lives? To me having a pedophile or gay or lesbian teaching our kids is a issue and we should clean house of all despicable faculty because I know I would not want my son or daughter interacting with any of them in a classroom on a daily schedule. Yes a student can drop a sport if they have a concern about a certain teacher or coach but they can't drop classes if they have that same concern then their only choice would be to leave for another school or drop out and that may not be a option for the family if they can not afford to move or pay for private schools. So let us get rid of all the trash in our schools because there are a lot of homosexuals interacting with the students every day and that is sick for our kids to be exposed to seeing someone that lives that disgusting behavior and lifestyle among them in the classroom.  We are unable to clean out the Board of Education, but we are able to clean out the people that put them there.  Council, consider yourselves on notice.  The line has been drawn in the sand, folks. The people will see to that. All gay and lesbian homosexuals teaching in our schools must go at once.
 
After all the gays and lesbians are fired we are going to need a lot of applicants to fill jobs in Hoover schools since while I think about this there will be teachers fired in almost each subject in every grade in all our schools. I wonder also how many applicants we will have to turn down too due to their personal choice of lifestyle of being homosexual? Maybe we can have it printed on the application that if you are a homosexual you can not apply. That should help the process go quicker.
 
Council, now that you've read this, pick up the phones and do what you know is the right thing.  NOW!

A wise man once said "It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt" .
 
Thanks for removing all doubt about you, tent.  Thanks.
 
And don't worry.  You'll slip.  The fools always do.

Dear Mrs. Frazier:
 
As School Board president, it is your job to protect the best interests of the children and the larger community you serve.
 
The course it appears the school board has chosen to follow, to turn a blind eye to the facts and continue to employ Rush Propst, is harmful to both the children and the larger Hoover community.  Rush Propst has used our school system and the young men of this community to serve his only purpose of self-promotion and self-gratification.
 
The leaders of this community have fallen hook, line, and sinker for the glory that Rush Propst has brought and placed at their feet.  They have prostituted their sons and their wives to attain the glory of which they so desperately wish to be a part.
 
We citizens of Hoover that have not fallen blindly into Propst's lunacy have grown weary of having our schools and our community dragged through the mud and reviled by every other school system in the state and beyond.  
 
This school board is the only voice that has the power to do the right thing for the best interests of all of the children of our community.  Please do not let those children down.
 
We respectfully request that you terminate Rush Propst's employment immediately on grounds that he has caused irreparable damage to both the reputation and the organizational culture of Hoover City Schools.
 
Removing Rush Propst from Hoover City Schools is but the first step in getting back on task in placing the best interests of the children and their families first on the priority list for Hoover City Schools.  His termination is crucial to the success of Hoover City Schools.  
 
Thank you for your consideration.  

"All gay and lesbian homosexuals teaching in our schools must go at once."
 
Amazing.  Your homophobic slip is showing.
Replace the words "gay" and "lesbian" with "Jew" and "African-American" or any other label and the vile nature of your comments would be obvious.  
 
 

Discrimination against a person based on sexual orientation is illegal.  Just like discrimination based on race, gender, national origin or religion.

Care to point them out?

Thanks, FE, I don't recall the posts, but I do see your point.  Definite code words those...

They're poor choices of words, at the least.

They're definitely a poor choice of words and that's all.  While the remark when made in the context of a woman is not racist, the intent is the same.  Sexist and racist terms are generally interchangeable.  And the use of the word "token" when used in reference to a minority, particularly a black person, is inherently racist (and again sexist too).
 
Of course, if you're black or female then it's OK...but only if you are female referring to another female.  Or black referring to...oh, never mind.
 
No offense intended?  Then none is taken.  Peace be with you.  Apology accepted.
 
(By me at least)

By the way, you said that you were offended by that statement at the time, so why would you repeat it?
