The story below talks about a school board's decision to ban ALL extracurricular clubs on the high school campus so that the school could avoid having to deal with a club called PRIDE, which stands for "Peers Rising in Diversity Education." The club had a homosexual agenda.

I believe this school board is run by idiots. Why not just ban the PRIDE club, on the grounds that the nature of the club and the issues discussed were not appropriate?

There is a clear difference between clubs like Students Against Drunk Driving, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, KEY club, etc. The difference is that all these other clubs aren't based on the subject of human sexuality and "tolerance" of one particular form of it.

If the ACLU continues to pursue this issue, wouldn't it open the door for the Joy of Self-Loving Club, designed to teach students tolerance on such issues as masturbation, and to help rid the school of such derogatory slang terms associated with the practice?

Where does this stuff stop? Is there a point at which we in society can say, "Enough tolerance already!"

Seems to me that the concept of tolerance is similar to the concept of infinity...think of the most bizarre lifestyle choice that our society tolerates, add one more degree of depravity, and demand "tolerance."

Why not just let them have their PRIDE club? Sheesh.
I smell a homophobe...


but for some reason it smells like patchouli and the music teacher's jacket. Jaaaman everything ivey.

Yeah really, why not let them have the club? My school had the Gay, Lesbian, BiSexual & Straight Student Association. There was nothing wrong with it, it taught tolerance, and was very popular.

As for the notion of too much tolerance that is the most pathetically disgusting and facist ide to come out of you, on these forums, yet. You should be ashamed of yourself. Jesus taught tolerance.

By the way, I really like the idea of the masturbation club you mentioned, and I am going to suggest it at my old High School(I do volunteer work there), I think it would go over well. Thanks.

Right age group. Look for the hairy palms.

I actually brought the idea up to the student council president today. She's going to hold a vote to see if they should survey for interest. The School President (Principle) thinks it's a phenomonal idea. Thanks Jaaaman.

LOL, I thought you were talking about the masterbation club at first, I was like why tadpole?

I was talking about the Masturbation club. They should have made their decision by the end of the week.

Jesus taught tolerance to a point. After all, he told the woman caught in adultery to "go and sin no more."

And he married a whore

Masturbation is a great gift to humans. The world would be better if everyone participated.

So willing to abridge free speech...what a shame.
