So, Andy, the two above statements mean the same thing"?
Sex ed teachers job is to teach sex ed. Whose morals should they teach? Yours, the Catholic Churches, Episcopalians, Muslims--you tell me, you and Ann are so upset about sex ed teachers telling YOU that YOU have the right and obligation to teach your kids morals--whose should they teach.
That's the thing about teaching science, it's based on what we know rather than what we believe. Why do you want sex ed teachers telling YOUR kids what's right and wrong?
I simply won't become hysterical without seeing the whole story, that's all. If they are teaching things that I think are inappropriate then I would object--but I'm not going to go ballistic and join up with a bunch of crazies lead by Ann Coulter in a jihad for which I have yet to see the basis. Give me the facts first, not 2 sentence quotes by somebody.
Are the two statements above equal, do they have the same meaning to you?
Let me rephrase them: Ann refuses to accept morals and Ann thinks that morals should be taught by parents and churches
It looks to me like the two statements are worlds apart. I would appreciate Ann if she STOPPED trying to teach her morals to everyone.
You have not yet provided the complete story on fisting, I am skeptical of the whole thing. I'm sorry but I don't get any Massachusetts newspapers here on the West Coast--got a source for your story besides Ann? If people were sued, that means that there are a heap of court records--especially if the school systems were involved in some way. So far you have not provided any real information.
