Teen muzzled for stating his religious beliefs...
Found this at www.myfoxdfw.com
FORT WORTH, Texas - A Fort Worth high school student was sent to the principal’s office earlier this week for telling another classmate he believes homosexuality is wrong.
Fourteen-year-old Dakota Ary spent most of the day Tuesday serving an in-school suspension. It was punishment for discussion in his German class at Fort Worth’s Western Hills High School.
“We were talking about religions in Germany. I said, ‘I’m a Christian. I think being a homosexual is wrong,’” he said. “It wasn’t directed to anyone except my friend who was sitting behind me. I guess [the teacher] heard me. He started yelling. He told me he was going to write me an infraction and send me to the office.”
An assistant principal called Ary’s mother at work to let her know he was in trouble.
“At first I was in disbelief. My son is on the honor roll with great grades. I don’t have any problems out of him,” Holly Pope said.
After hearing Ary’s explanation of what happened, the assistant principal reduced the original suspension from two days to one. But Pope was not satisfied with that.
“He was stating an opinion. He has a right to do that. They punished him for it,” she said.
Attorney Matt Krause joined Ary and his mom at a Wednesday morning meeting with the principal. They asked for the blemish to be taken off his record and reassurance there would be no retaliation.
“Students don’t lose their first amendment rights just because they go in the schoolhouse door,” Krause said.
District spokesman Clint Bond said the Fort Worth Independent School District does not comment on specific employee or student-related issues.
“We are following district policy in our review of the circumstances and any resolution will likewise be in accordance with district policy,” Bond said.
If Ary continues taking German he’ll have to learn from the same teacher who punished him. His mom is relying on faith that things will work out.
“I want to believe the school will make the right decision. That’s something the school will need to handle,” she said.

So the kid mentions his religious beliefs and the teacher flips out. According to the local radio station, the suspension was for "bullying". I know that would come as a surprise to many people.
As has been said by quite a few folks lately, you just can't accept the presence of gays in society no matter how you feel about the immorality of their actions. You have to be in full embrace of them and their "lifestyle". Otherwise, you're a bigot.
This isn't over. We can expect a flap & furor from the local homosexual community as they scream about their victimhood.
Please note this is happening in Texas, a supposedly ultra red state.
UPDATE: Evidently there's more to this story, here's an excerpt from a followup article, the boy's lawyer is quoted here;
" Krause called the incident “mind blowing” and said the teacher had frequently brought homosexuality into ninth grade classroom discussions.
“There has been a history with this teacher in the class regarding homosexual topics,” Krause said. “The teacher had posted a picture of two men kissing on a wall that offended some of the students.”
Krause said the picture was posted on the teacher’s “world wall.”
“He told the students this is happening all over the world and you need to accept the fact that homosexuality is just part of our culture now,” Krause said.
The school district would not comment on why a teacher was discussing homosexuality in a ninth grade German class."
Someone has an agenda and is enthusiastically pushing it.

Well,it was kind of for bullying. Except is for the purpose of bullying Christians and Straight people. Soon we will reach a point where refusing to bend over for the next sodomite to come by will be punished by the schools as a form of sexual assault.
IR, the teacher is out of line here. Check my update for more information.
I can tell you from direct personal experience that this sort of thing has been going on for a long, long time in public schools.
Today's public school teachers have been trained and are eager to push diversity on their students, to constantly find ways to incorporate it into the daily classroom, and it is quite common for them to include both subtle and direct comments about homosexual "tolerance" into class lectures and discussions.
On the flip side, there is absolutely no tolerance for anyone expressing (as this young man did) a negative opinion about homosexuality.
It's increasingly obvious that public school "education" is in reality indoctrination.
The Gay Movement is the new Civil Rights of our times. Sexual orientation is today what race was for the 60s. I agree with you Subvet and I am alarmed that Texas is falling to Liberalism. And there's nothing people can do except shake their heads in disbelief and disgust.
Okay, so was the student bullying the teacher? Is there something particularly German about being gay, or something gay about being German? (Reminds me of PRIDE efforts to co-opt the NY St. Patrick's Day parade.) Chalk another victory for homofascism.
@ Subvet--I agree, and it was the student who is being bullied!
@ Random thoughts--The whole reason for the creation of the Catholic Schol system in the US was the public schools were being used to indoctrinate kids into Anti-Catholicism--and now it's happening again.
Random Thoughts, that indoctrination is coming through loud and clear.
Rick, I've no doubt this will be the next issue on which Catholics will be persecuted. It's something we should have paid attention to in the past few decades.
Anthony, it's definetly something that never should have made it into a high school language class. But our entire culture has become fixated on the sexual. I'll soon be posting about my copy of "Dracula" that explores Stoker's sexuality in the foreward. No, I am not kidding.
