Michigan Republicans pass "Pro-Bullying" bill

I don't even know what to say about this. I feel like the 2011 GOP is a bunch of mustache-twisting villains crying "But you MUST pay the rent!"

Are they even trying to pretend to be sane anymore?

 

So if I tell a gay guy that I believe homosexuality is morally wrong, am I bullying? Or am I just stating my beliefs in a country with religious freedom? And that's all this bill says.
This is the passage that all the libs are up in arms about:
“This section does not prohibit a statement of a sincerely held religious belief or moral conviction of a school employee, school volunteer, pupil, or a pupil & parent or guardian.”

 

I think the GOP guys were trying to prevent situations where a pupil, volunteer or staff member can get prosecuted for saying that homosexuality is wrong. I admire them for protecting our freedom of speech and religion.

 

Telling students that homosexuality is morally wrong is not in the job description of ANY teacher, principal or school administrator.

Would you approve a bill that protected teachers from telling black students that they're genetically inferior to white students? I mean, it's all about freedom of speech, right? Can a male principal tell the cheerleading squad what nice asses they have? Don't want to stomp on his Constitutional rights, eh, Eddie?

 

Wrong. The elementary, high school and college I went to all taught biblical principles including the immorality of homosexuality. And those schools continue to teach those things.

 

That's your opinion, and you're entitled to it.

 

"The Puritanical bigotry, is strong in this one."
That's unfortunate and sad, eddie.
Sorry to hear you were subjected to that kind of repulsive indoctrination.
Yikes.

 

People still believe Eddie's not a troll? I bet he has a huge laugh at each and every response to his scripted Conservative opinions.

 

Of course I believe he's a troll.
I'm beginning to suspect he's being paid to troll here.

 

Um, you guys do realize that the overwhelming majority of the world believes homosexuality is wrong, don't you?

Anyways. Back to the OP. Is is bullying to tell someone that homosexuality is wrong?

 

Bullying is using physical intimidation or assault. It's not name calling. And this senate bill does not allow or excuse physical intimidation or assault.

 

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

 

Well, I think it's obvious that you have to protect freedom of speech. Whenever laws are concerned you have to err on the side of Constitutional freedom. An individual should be able to express his religious beliefs without being charged with a crime.

 

Once a person spouts his "beliefs" directly to an individual with the intent of belittling and/or verbally abusing, it ceases to be a constitutional right. It is bullying. You can stand on a street corner and shout whatever crap you believe in and that's fine, you have that right. You come up to me and do the same thing, I have the right to call the cops on you.
