HS Baskeball Player Punished for Being Gay

I'd make the school republish the entire yearbook and replace every copy.
 
True but if there is any ethical judge around, that would make a properly expensive lesson for the school to learn.
 
God, the USA has a lot of fucked up states.

He's so cute.....hope he has a successful carreer in basketball without all the hate
 
Freedom and equality are misused concepts. Ironic that the US wages wars in countries which do not share those ideals, but they run rampant 'at home'.

Unfortunately, it happens because it is allowed to happen.

Just because it is "expected" doesn't mean it shouldn't be talked about or tolerated. And this kind of thing could happen in many places. Let us not play that card.

We can talk about it all we want. I've learned that it is the hardest thing to change people's minds when it comes to religious bigotry.

Remember the fake prom for the lesbian couple a couple years back? Everyone talked about it. What came of it? Nothing. Look up fake prom for constance if you don't know what I'm talking about.

This pretty much sums it up.

Quoted for Truth!

I'm ashamed of so many things that happen in this country, or because of this country. #-o
 
At least he's not an axe murderer! :##:

Easy for me to say, but if Dalton can hang in there, he will know who his real friends are.

In the words of James Taylor:

"Hey, ain't it good to know that you've got a friend? People can be so cold.
They'll hurt you and desert you. Well, they'll take your soul if you let them,
oh yeah, but don't you let them."

Being at the U of K will help. So will parental support. In any case, eventually he will emerge the winner.

P.S. The school and its principal really suck. They're on the wrong side of history. Also, God-damn her for allowing him to "twist in the wind" and not offer some support. :mad:
 
It sounds damning, but it is a pretty passive method of discrimination and doesn't exactly make sense in light of the investigation. According to this article, Mr. Moldanado was included in no less than FIFTEEN pics in other places in the yearbook.

Although his allegations sound founded about the blind eye to the opposing team's verbal harassment, the description of the process failure here sounds plausible. Yearbook staffs are hardly crack jounalism teams in high schools. A set of reviewers would not be likely to catch omissions so much as errors in naming, spelling, etc.

If you were a judge or jury hearing this allegation in a court of law, you'd have to have a lot more to support such an accusation than your prejudice.

If it did happen as a deliberate act, it's egregious, but that is far from proven just because it is alleged, and doesn't make sense if he is everywhere else in the yearbook, including the group photo on that page.

It is unfortunate that so many are quick to play the bigot card here about an entire state, yet are dead silent when actual gay beatings happen in New York or Pennsylvania, etc. It's as easy as Henry Ford looking for greedy Jewish bankers in the early 20th century, this business of looking for red state throwbacks.

Because of the politically correct atmosphere nowadays, bigots are becoming increasingly clever. When I talk to people about discrimination against gay people, most people tend to think discrimination in the sense of the westboro baptist church with the "god hates fags" signs and all.

The fact of the matter is most people go through every day life not having to experience discrimination, so they really have a hard time understanding what's discrimination and what's not. And the really smart bigots nowadays know how to exploit that. They know that when people look for signs of discrimination, they generally look for active, dummy proof signs, like someone yelling out "hey faggot". The more subtle, more passive forms of discrimination are often overlooked because when looked at individually every action could be explained by coincidence.

To understand what I mean, suppose we have worker A who comes into work late on Monday. He says his grandma died. On Tuesday, he's late again. This time, it was his dog that died. Wednesday, he's late again because his tire blew out. Thursday he's late again because power went out at his house. Friday, he's late because... his wife cut her finger. Following Monday, he's late because he ran out of gas on the way to work. And so on and so forth.

Every single lateness event could be explained by something other than incompetence. We have to look at the totality of the circumstance to connect the dots.

Modern day discrimination is more or less the same way. Most people try to look for obvious signs like someone yelling out "faggot" but in reality what bigots do can be very subtle and passive.

Anyone here remember the fake prom for the lesbian couple and the mentally disabled kids of the school? Every one of the people involved had an explanation (excuse) for what happened. When I brought it up with some people, they tried to play it off as something else by pointing out that no one called her a "dyke". And if you read about the entire incident from beginning to end, starting with Constance wanting to go to the prom with her girlfriend, there was no individual detail that jumped out screaming bigotry. But stepping back and look at the actions of the school officials and the parents, from canceling prom all together to prevent the lesbian couple from attending to setting up a fake prom, the dots do connect.

Going back to the young man in Kentuckishtan, I feel for him. He's just begun his life and I must say he has a lot more guts than I do. I'm more of a coward when it comes to outing myself.

Only time will tell if Kentuckishtan will move to correct this or if they will give an excuse to every detail in this incident.
 
As former teacher education is suppose to teach respect not hate.
