The Educational System isn't going to tolerate Hate Speech. Denigrating children solely on the fact that they are Gay would be Hate Speech.

I didn't realise that the US Constitution had been amended to include 'Hate Speech'.
Not that I disagree, we have 'hate speech' restrictions in Canada, and I do believe they have been beneficial.

The United States Constitution doesn't need to be amended for The United States Supreme Court to put restrictions on The First Amendment. Every ruling they make gives legal precedence, and Hate Speech has a long list of legal precedences.

I'd love to see this hate speech precedent be applied to the hateful rhetoric of atheists and seculars against Christians. That would be interesting.

The Human Tribunals in Canada are a joke. It is a tool used only by leftist interest groups. If you are white, Christian - good luck in getting anything addressed by them.

You posted just to say that?? Says a lot about your character. And yea I posted just to say this.
John Dewey described Humanism as our "common faith." Julian Huxley called it "Religion without Revelation." The first Humanist Manifesto spoke openly of Humanism as a religion. Many other Humanists could be cited who have acknowledged that Humanism is a religion. In fact, claiming that Humanism was "the new religion" was trendy for at least 100 years, perhaps beginning in 1875 with the publication of The Religion of Humanity by Octavius Brooks Frothingham (1822-1895),
But then Christians began to challenge the "establishment of religion" which Secular Humanism in public schools represented. They used the same tactic Atheists had used to challenge prayer and Bible reading under the "Establishment Clause" of the First Amendment. Now the ACLU is involved. Now the question is controversial. Now Secular Humanists have completely reversed their strategy, and claim that Humanism is not at all religious, but is "scientific."
In 1961, the U.S. Supreme Court acknowledged that Secular Humanism was a religion.
But when Christians attempt to get the religion of Secular Humanism out of the government schools, based on the same emotional frame of mind which atheists had when they went to court against God in schools, then pro-secularist courts speak out of the other side of their faces and say that Secular Humanism is NOT a religion "for establishment clause purposes." This is slimy deceitful legalism at its worst.

Im sorry but you make absolutely no sense. I don't know how anything your saying has anything to do with me. You keep assuming that I want double standards of some kind, when you don't even know what I want.
For further reading, see R.J. Rushdoony, The Messianic Character of American Education, chapter 27, "Education as a Religion." He writes,
[T]he state school is a religious institution. As pointed out in Intellectual Schizophrenia, the public school is the established church of today and a substitute institution for the medieval church, dedicated to the same monolithic conception of society. Some years ago, Dewey very candidly discussed "Education as a Religion" (John Dewey, "Education as a Religion," The New Republic, August, 1922, p. 64f.) As Whitehead observed, "The essence of education is that it be religious." (Alfred North Whitehead, The Aims of Education, NY: Mentor Books, 1952, p. 26)
The public or state schools have thus been inescapably religious. Their "common faith" has been described as "made up of elements provided by Rousseau, Jefferson, August Comte, and John Dewey. 'Civil religion' is an apt designation for this faith." (G.H. Williams, Harvard Divinity School Bulletin, 1948-1949, p. 41.)

Oh I see how it relates, just not to me. I'm not for teaching any kind of beliefs in schools, just facts.

Oh yes, I did see your post on that involving the facts of human reproduction. That is science. I do not have a problem with that. I just have a problem with the proposal to do it in kindergarten. And I have already said here what lobby is involved in that process.

Great!
I'm so over the "whiny white Christians" and their persecution complex.
(IMO - - the whiny white Christians tend to be the conservatives losing their "lock grip" control. Again NOT Christian bashing. Its about that
See Annie, I knew you were a Christian basher. I called it in my very first post in this thread.
And who else has a persecution complex and has to force their ideas onto 3rd graders in public school under the guise of stopping bullying....

Sure, if there's proof that such a thing is happening, and that's it's not just something being made up by the religious right to try make their idiotic idea of Christians being persecuted appear plausible.
