Why are there so many pseudo-intellectuals out there who think they are above the right/left paradigm? Those who claim they are above it are clingers who WISH they had an ounce of sense.

Annee: Giving you a head start on UNESCO's leadership and agenda:
Wiki: The history of Christianity in the Soviet Union was not limited to repression and secularization. Soviet policy toward religion was based on the ideology of Marxism-Leninism, which made atheism the official doctrine of the Soviet Union. Marxism-Leninism has consistently advocated the control, suppression, and, ultimately, the elimination of other religious beliefs.[1]
What does opinion on homosexuality have to do with the left-right paradigm? You're confusing conservatism and liberalism, which have nothing to do with the left-right paradigm.
Many on the left are conservative, many on the right liberal. You aren't in a position to insult peoples intelligence.
I hate to burst your radical Right wing bubble there, but I think you'll find that a lot of those on the left will entirely disagree with this also.
Why is EVERYTHING in the USA a left/right issue

Some of the rednecks are just going to have to learn there are gay people in this world and they are part of American history. Oh this person did something important but we can't talk about him because he's gay. Now who is squashing free speech?

Despite your post being coated in right-wing extremism, I agree with you that that it is wrong.
I kind of misread your post at first and thought you complaining about gay history, mainly because I've seen people who actually believe acknowledging famous figures who were gay as part of some gay agenda, which is nothing short of idiotic but I digress..Homophobes who rail against the idea teaching people that yes, there are gay people out there who can accomplish great things, just as straight people can. Also, if you truly didn't care about someone's sexual orientation in a history textbook, then you wouldn't be complaining about someone's sexual orientation in a history textbook.

Why do our children need to know that specific person was gay? Who gives a sh#t about the historical figures sexual orientation?

Who knew.
Shall we also give extraneous details about great inventors, scientists, academics, criminals about their preferential sexual habits.

The American Disabilities Act was passed in 1990. Only 21 years ago.
Prior to that anyone could deny access to a disabled person. Restaurants/Movie theaters - - could deny a disabled person simply because it upset the other customers - - it made them feel uncomfortable.
It creeped people out to look at a "crippled" person. I guess their rights were being violated by seeing a "crippled" person.
You know who was the #1 opponent of the ADA? The Christian church. Yep! It wasn't cost effective to accommodate the disabled.

Unless you are actually PERFORMING these acts as a fundamental part of the accomplishment, I fail to see how it is relevant.
