School Punishes Boy for Opposing Homosexuality


Recommended Posts

An honors student in Fort Worth, TX, was sent to the principal?s office and punished for telling a classmate that he believes homosexuality is wrong.

Holly Pope said she was ?absolutely stunned? when she received a telephone call from an assistant principal at Western Hills High School informing her that her son, Dakota Ary, had been sent to in-school suspension.

?Dakota is a very well-grounded 14-year-old,? she told Fox News Radio noting that her son is an honors student. ?He?s been in church his whole life and he?s been taught to stand up for what he believes.?

And that?s what got him in trouble.

Dakota was in a German class at the high school when the conversation shifted to religion and homosexuality in Germany. At some point during the conversation, he turned to a friend and said that he was a Christian and ?being a homosexual is wrong.?

?It wasn?t directed to anyone except my friend who was sitting behind me,? Dakota told Fox. ?I guess [the teacher] heard me. He started yelling. He told me he was going to write me an infraction and send me to the office.?

Dakota was sentenced to one day in-school suspension ? and two days of full suspension. His mother was flabbergasted, noting that her son had a spotless record, was an honor student, volunteered at his church and played on the school football team. :rolleyes:

Well would this be such a hot issue had the subject not been about gays? I agree that this should not have been discussed in a school setting and the teen should not have been subjected to punishment because he exercised his right to free speech, but I suspect that he knew that a comment such as that would provoke the teacher and or whom ever he was speaking with, and that was the reason for his statement.

He?s been in church his whole life and he?s been taught to stand up for what he believes.

I suggest you read the entire article. The suspension was dropped. Why cr@p like this makes the news is beyond me. Everyone makes a poor judgment call and things are (usually) set straightened out in the end...such as this case. So, why is this even news?

Well to fare it was fox news so it really was not news news! :D

I don't get this. Government wants people to bear more and more babies, and because government wants even more people than women want to deliver they import millions of immigrants. On the other side they spend billions encouraging homosexuality. What's the point? Look at Germany - they have overwhelming levels of homosexuality and that's why Germans have basically no children at all, Turks now make children for them. Is it what the government really wants?

Yeah, and I don't like anyone that lectures me who should I like or not like.

Maybe you'd like a non-Fox source ... that says the same thing:

Jesus **********ing christ, either my sarcasm meter is way off or you're really really ignorant (to put it mildly).

I wish you could understand how stupid that post was but you probably never will. How do you even turn on your computer?

They should have made him kiss another boy. Kidding!

That was a little harsh to punish someone for their opinions and views. The boy is also 14, he doesn't know any better, especially being a Christian, who are taught to believe being gay is wrong.

Times have changed I guess, and religion is the new war.

This is the greatest post I have ever read in my entirety of browsing these forums.

I don't know whether your joking or not but thanks heaps for the laugh either way :laugh:

On the other side they spend billions encouraging homosexuality.

Hollywood does that and profits from it!

As for the government, it fights discrimination on illegal grounds (homophobia is just part of it) and promotes equal opportunities for everyone - they don't promote homosexuality per se.

He should be expelled. What if he leaned over to his friend and said "Being Black is wrong!"?

Expelling someone over an opinion is retarded. Also thats not the best example to use. While its still debated on whether or not someone is born gay is natural or not, being born any color is clearly not a choice.

Krause called the incident ?mind blowing? and said the teacher had frequently brought homosexuality into ninth grade classroom discussions.

?There has been a history with this teacher in the class regarding homosexual topics,? Krause said. ?The teacher had posted a picture of two men kissing on a wall that offended some of the students.?

Krause said the picture was posted on the teacher?s ?world wall.?

?He told the students this is happening all over the world and you need to accept the fact that homosexuality is just part of our culture now,? Krause said.

The school district would not comment on why a teacher was discussing homosexuality in a ninth grade German class.

?In German class there should be no talk of being pro-Gay or homosexual topics,? Krause said.

Dakota?s mother said she believes the teacher should apologize.

?He should never have been punished,? Pope said. ?He didn?t disrupt the class. He wasn?t threatening. He wasn?t hostile. He made a comment to his friend and the teacher overheard it.?

It sounds like the teacher has issues and promotes an agenda which isn't part of the job.

He should be expelled. What if he leaned over to his friend and said "Being Black is wrong!"?

People are born with their skin color, but nobody is born with a particular sexuality. Therefore it would be illogical to say "being black is wrong", while "being gay is wrong" is a perfectly logical statement (and also understandable when you've been brainwashed by your religion for your whole life).

Anyway, why do you feel the need to say "what if he said X"?

What if he said "I hate people who see what I said and say 'what if he said this'"?

What if he said "I hate people who Capitalize words which aren't meant to Be capitalized in mid Sentence"?

Society conditioning children to have no independent thought.

The kid's comment that "homosexuality is wrong" wasn't given to him by society,

it was given to him by religion. Blame religion for the hate-mongering and

conditioning.

    • A different thing with Russia. When you say is it better, depends on things. It is better that we don't have the E.U making rules and laws that have nothing to do with them. Is the trading part better? No, that is really mucked up, but then we knew that was going to happen and we would have make agreements, like we do with other parts of the world. Freedom of movement is certainly better, but could be improved, we still need more control over our borders. do you live in the U.K?
    • So what am I quoting from them? I never listened to what Farage or his cronies said. I wanted the U.K to leave the E.u years before the referendum and it had nothing to do with Farage and his cronies. So what country do you live in? Did we work much better together? We were always at logger heads with the E.U because we disagreed with them so much. Maggie was always on at them. I would have thought the E.U was glad to get rid of us as we stopped the integration or made it a two tier. Now without us they can integrate more. I would not have voted out if it was just a trading block and we can still work together on somethings.

    • Apple reportedly looks to blacklisted Chinese memory chips as RAM prices climb by Karthik Mudaliar Image via Apple Apple is reportedly trying to get a clearance from the Trump administration to buy memory from ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT) to get some relief from soaring DRAM prices. As per a report by the Financial Times, Apple approached the Commerce Department more than a month ago and also spoke to other officials and allies in Washington. For starters, CXMT is a company that's already been placed on the Pentagon's list of Chinese military companies. The Chinese company is the country's top DRAM maker. For Apple, the timing is certainly awkward but not surprising. Tim Cook had recently warned that Apple would have to raise prices because AI companies are buying up large amounts of memory for data centers, and just like that, Apple raised MacBook and iPad prices. Micron also recently revealed that customers have committed billions of dollars to secure memory supply years in advance, which shows us how aggressive securing infrastructure has become. This gives suppliers such as Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron more leverage, while pushing hardware makers to look for alternatives. CXMT is one of those alternatives, but not the simplest one. Apple has spent many years trying to diversify parts of its supply chain away from China, especially for final assembly, while still depending heavily on Chinese manufacturing and suppliers. Even domestic brands from China are moving towards CXMT and YMTC instead of relying on Samsung, Micron, and SK Hynix. For Apple, though, it would invite more scrutiny than local Chinese companies. For now, this is more like a lobbying effort rather than a confirmed supply deal. There's no official statement from either of the parties. What is clearer, though, is the pressure behind such a request. AI demand has certainly made hardware a bottleneck, and companies are trying everything they can to bring things back to normal, even if that means making politically sensitive choices.
