just one question, where were all these right wing bigots when it was disclosed Bush's daughter Barbara was gay?
Two Republican Texas lawmakers have filed bills that would cut funding for schools and universities that have policies supporting their LGBT students and staff.Last fall, the Pflugerville School District announced it would be the first in Texas to offer domestic partner benefits to the same-sex partners of its teachers and staff. State Rep. Drew Springer (R) isn’t happy about this, and has filed a bill (HB 1568) to cut 7.5 percent of a district’s healthcare funding if it offers such benefits. In his press release introducing the legislation, Springer didn’t shy away from his intention of punishing Pflugerville for recognizing same-sex relationships:SPRINGER: Our tax-dollars are for educating kids, not for enacting policies that attempt to get the state to recognize homosexual relationships. To think Pflugerville has sued the state for more funding, while at the same time bankrolling a lifestyle most Texans do not agree with is quite disturbing to me.
the schools mandate was education not trying get anyone to recognize, those who aren't bigots recognize it is no more then it's job to educate the children, maybe it's a good idea to hold them back and deny their education atleast until they are out of office or dead and stinkin'.
Meanwhile, Rep. Matt Krause (R), an attorney with the Liberty Counsel, has introduced HB 360, a bill not unlike one that just passed in Virginia that would cut funding for any university that does not allow its religious student groups to discriminate based on race, gender, and sexual orientation. Of course, these are groups that are using campus funding that all students pay into, and thus all students should have equal access. The bill claims that forcing religious groups to accept students who do not abide by their beliefs “violates the organization’s members” First Amendment rights” of free exercise of religion and freedom of association.
it is clear what the real intent is, what about those who are forced to except bigoted, racist students to practice their hate on them, bet they don't teach the constitution or bill of rights. teaching them to hate and discriminate in college is just a continuation of right wing advanced learning that started in tea party summer camps, and NRA gun lovers classes
