US Ed Dept Demanding Principals Censor More

Toe, The writes "Education Department officials are threatening school principals with lawsuits if they fail to monitor and curb students' lunchtime chat and evening Facebook time for expressing ideas and words that are deemed to be harassment of some students. Under the new interpretation of civil rights laws, principals and their schools are legally liable if they fail to curb 'harassment' of students, even if it takes place outside the school, on Facebook or in private conversation. When children are concerned, where is the line between protection and censorship?"

You apparently are unaware that those who practice male homosexual sex are subject to significantly greater health risks than those who practice heterosexual sex. Whether you like it or not, being gay (openly or otherwise) comes with the cost of increased risk of health problems. These increased health risks played a role in society frowning upon homosexual behavior. There is a significant possibility that those health risks had something to do with why most religions have a prohibition of homosexual behavior.
