Teach Them Hate
I always believed that the role of schools was to inform, to educate about differences and about certain known facts. I never thought it would be to teach Hatred, and yet so many it seems believe that is the exact role of schools today. Take the story out of Brisbane Australia.
Evangelicals and conservative politicians are up in arms after a 13-year old girl received a failing grade for refusing to do an assignment on homosexuality ( full story )
Right there is the first part of this part of this whole problem. Is this an assignment about Gays or something more? The headline naturally lures us in because it says a girl is flunked for not turning in an assignment on homosexuality, and technically yes, but that isn’t what the assignment was truly about. It was about educating the kids on minorities, and how differences make their own contributions. It is about bullying as well.
Students in the grade nine class at a high school south of Brisbane were asked to imagine living as a heterosexual in a mainly gay colony on the moon. The assignment was aimed at teaching students what it is like being in the minority. (story)
It is amazing at how an assignment designed to show differences, to illuminate that only by a twist of fate one could find themselves in a minority, that suddenly it is about upsetting one’s religious morals. So I wonder, if the class assignment was about aboriginals and not gays, would those same parents be as upset as they are now?
This is the problem, if you substitute any other minority such as Black, Latino, Asian, Islamic, would these same parents be so upset. Would that 13 year old girl have refused to hand in her assignment? I mean think back to just over 50 years ago. It was an accepted believe that African Americans were derived from Monkeys and not even part of the human race in many southern States of the United States. Indians were considered heathens too, and so I wonder. How did they ever advance to where such thoughts today would cause a huge debate, would have people calling those people racists, demons, bigots, but if it is about homosexuals, well, they are just good God Fearing Christians standing up for their beliefs.
Give me a break.
Racism is racism, no matter how you cover it up or with what fancy politically correct phraseology. The girl is being taught to hate because some others are different, that is the bottom line. The school system was doing its part in attempting to change that, to end the generation of hate that seems to be boiling over all over the world.
The reason children aren’t learning how to read, write, or add has nothing to do with ths either. This is about kids going on rampages calling others fag, bullying and hating because that is what they are being taught. Each and every time some parent slams people of differences, Gay or other, you show the children that hate is good, that opposing it is evil, and so another generation of hate mongers is born, raised, and set loose on the innocents of the world.
It is this thinking that has led to terrorism and wars all over. This is why the Congo is in dire straights, after all do you really believe that it would be ignored for so long if the majority of people where white?
