All sorts of people are everywhere. My response was to theoretical disparities in state laws regarding gays potentially making some states less attractive for them. My honest answer is that I am unsympathetic. Most of my dialog yesterday made argument against homosexuals working in the public school system. Although I still maintain this position, it is an over simplification of my real concern of providing the best possible role models for our children. This is much bigger than just grinding an axe with the gay community. Many people though possessing the education to do so, are unfit to participate in the education of young people in public schools for numerous reasons. Some of these reasons include; aggressive anti-social behavior, drug addiction, felony convictions, and deviant sexual tendencies. It is the modern tendency to inordinately weigh genetic predisposition and its importance regarding the individuals we are and the individuals we can hope to become. However, the associations we have, the values we develop, the habits we make, and the role models we choose, form the bulk of the foundation for the people we become. Regardless of any genetic inclinations, I refuse to believe any child is doomed to become a wife beater, a sexual deviant, or a drunk. * * *
