I do not know if the State employees were on their own time or not- and I never said I did. Uh.. use your friggin' brain "doofus"... If they were on their own time and were fired, they would be suing Massachusetts RIGHT NOW!!! Wouldn't you? I know I would be!! Thus, by default of logic, and the fact that one of them urged a judge to prevent the release of that tape recording since it would prejudice her ability to obtain another job, it tells me that she KNEW she had exceeded her authority. What I worry about is state money being assigned to promote a special interest groups private agenda. They claim they voted this money to help "prevent suicide" by young gay teens. But why is a suicide by a young gay teen more important, financially speaking, than the suicide of a young non-gay teen? But I see that you just lied to us all about what you "claimed" you said to your daughter... That must mean that I'm rattling your cage and getting to ya... <VBG> It's clear that MANY school administrators and teachers attended this "conference" in a paid status. That makes it AN OFFICIAL EDUCATION DEPT FUNCTION.. doofus... People were being paid to attend this thing. They were given professional development credits for attending this thing. Maybe some gay advocacy group paid for the room and the power, but taxpayers PAID THEIR TEACHERS TO ATTEND AND PRESENT AT THIS EVENT. That's called a subsidy.... And that makes what you are claiming a LIE... And you a LIAR.. X the Untruthful... X the Unknowledgable.. X the Unforgiven.. <VBG>

I wouldn't, for example, bitch about you having a seminar to expound your views. Great!! So I can get create a group aimed at closing the gap of understanding between religious students and non-religious. We can have clubs where students actively and with school sanction participate in discourses about religion in our daily lives. We can have classes on how the turmoil of living in a godless society impacts young religious teens. And they can share religious books, movies, and assorted literature with other non-religious teens. And that means that you'd support a moment of silence each money for personal prayer? And can I get state funding to prevent young religious teen suicides? Can I have the state sanction the professional development of teachers in making them more sensitive to the needs of religious teens who are feeling ostracized by a ever increasingly hostile secular world? That's what I'm talking about X... Glad to see you're willing to support that..
