Ahhhh ... nobody is saying you aren't entitled to your opinion on the behavior of others. You are even entitled to teach those judgements to your children.
I can understand why we deny teaching positions to sex offenders, child molesters and other felons, and the mentally unstable.
But get real here. Having a homosexual teacher, or an unwed pregnant heterosexual teacher, isn't going to endanger children in any way, shape, or form.
I agree with you, Buff ... racism is stupid. Having been around when things like "should children of different races swim in the same swimming pools" was the stuff of talk radio, I am inherently suspicious of arguments that depend upon the same logic as those used to defend racism.

Well I'm not even saying this guy is right or wrong -- I'm just saying that if he pays taxes to support public schools, his opinion ought to at least be considered. Maybe he has a point, or maybe he's a wingnut.
And maybe his point is that she's setting a bad example. I know teachers at my school were not allowed to smoke anywhere but in the teacher's lounge for just that reason -- they were told it sets the wrong example for the students.
Whereas being black doesn't set any kind of example -- it's just a trait, like being tall or being smart.
Not that I care one way or the other, because my kids will be going to your house for homeschooling so I don't have to tell them what's wrong with Republicans. At my house they'll learn what's wrong with Democrats and moderates. That way, we'll make sure they're libertarians.
