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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.
