So now these Texas asshole prudish morons are trying to spread dirt on the teacher to justify their cowardice and own repressed fundie outlook on life. How did Austin ever survive in such a sea?

No. They are wrong. Simple and clear and nothing can justify it.

By the way, if you're married, in the US you are now officially a member of a minority group. One wonders if legalising gay marriages might reverse this status (if it were even important to do so), but don't let's make this into a controversial thread. Just yet, anyway. :wink:

Yeah, Annie, "reactionary ninnies" pretty much sums it up.

My mom and I heard this story on the radio a couple weeks ago. Our reaction in unison was, "these people are insane!"
It's all been said already, but really. It's so stupid! :swear:

I heard about this old gal up in New England somewhere, and she was a Quaker and she was an exhibitionist or something and she used to like to go to Sunday Meeting at the Puritans' place, and they hung her cause she kept stripping down to her skinnies.

Oh, none here, dang.


Seriously, just last night on the local News here in Boston they were reporting an a school that is seriously considering banning the playing of "Tag" during recess and on school grounds, because kids might get hurt.

Sheesh, it sucks to be a kid these days, no tag, no museums, what's next, banning spitballs? :swear:

I can't think of a better way to make kids ashamed of their bodies and themselves. It doesn't bode well for the future of art in Texas.

It is my sincere hope that this doesn't become a national trend in the USA.

This teacher was wearing "Flip-flops" to work!

I'm shocked.

I'm shocked at how low the school authorities will stoop.
