		<description>Hey, Tenn is still fighting about the science of evolution being taught!!!   
{Evolution isn&#039;t enough of a miracle???  That always boggles my mind...}

Do we really expect Tenn, &amp; states like it, to be in THIS century about Gay-related topics?

I just feel VERY sorry for all of our Little Brothers &amp; Sisters in that state!!!  
{Just wait: State officials will call the up-swing in teen suicides a &#039;mystery&#039; not too long from now.}

P.S.  YES!!!  PLEASE:  Let&#039;s keep calling the so-called religious right &#039;The American Taliban!!&#039;  
THAT is what they have been behaving like since the abortion clinic bombings and other assaults, so they have already earned it!!!  
And ...it just MIGHT wake a few of those &#039;tighty-righties&#039; up!!!!</description>

		<description>It is too bad that the ACLU has to become involved in this but that is the reason we need them. The school(s) are obvious run by &quot;religious types&quot; that only want what is best for the students (cough cough cough). They really do need to come into the 21th century and that the Scopes trial really did happen. I guess we have some people that ex president Bush would like to endorse.</description>

		<description>Its the same here in Alabama. It makes me VERY angry cause I try to look up GLBT info all the time at school and it says &quot;Blocked&quot; the reason is stated as &quot;Lifestyle&quot;. So, apparently looking up GLBT info is against someones view of the proper lifestyle or something...I live in Lauderdale County AL, along the TN state line..its makes me very angry that I cant look up INFORMATION of GLBT topics.. Thats so NOT right</description>

		<description>I live in the South, namely Alabama. I know first hand how the school system looks the other way when gay people&#039;s rights are being violated. In our Health class, when we studied the chapter on human sexuality, homosexuality was hardly mentioned (less than a paragraph) and the teacher didn&#039;t mention it at all during the lectures. It&#039;s as if they pretend that it doesn&#039;t exist, or wish it didn&#039;t. 

Racial comment are punished, however any derogatory comments about homosexuals or anyone perceived as homosexuals go ignored even when made by teachers or staff. My little brother is in 5th grade and his teacher has called the students fairies on many occasions. How can we teach tolerance when these kids are learning just the opposite from their teachers.

Blocking information about LGBT is just another example of how school systems try to keep children from learning the truth.</description>

		<description>Some of you have a certain pungent and reflexive hatred of anyone and anything with its origins in a state which seceded from the US roughly 160 years ago.  I went to Nashville schools; strangely enough, as conservative as they were, I got a FAR better general education than what I see in Ohio.  Sarrellec, you especially seem to insist on reliving the childhood trauma of living in Arkansas.  I wouldn&#039;t wish that on anyone, but your willful ignorance is stunning.  I guess you and some others assume that ALL of Tennessee is illiterate, spending the live-long day playing banjo while wandering from still to pot patch to Klan rally.  Hmm...guess I missed that.  Must&#039;ve been time to go to the company store and pick up that year&#039;s new shoes.  

Did any of you bother to ask the obvious questions?  First, was the filter state- or possibly Federally-mandated?  Second, who paid for the filters--the state, Federal grants, or the school districts from their own revenues?  Third, who established the parameters for vendor eligibility?  Fourth, who established the filter parameters?  Fifth, does the vendor have a history of aligning itself with a political party?  All of these are easy questions to ask.  But why ask questions and get more information about something, when instead you can sling mud for no other purpose than an ad hominem gotcha?  

As it stands right now, one of the major obstacles to marriage equality in New York State is a representative-cum-reverend from the Bronx, which by itself has almost as many people as the Nashville metro area.  Oh, that&#039;s different--and I guess the pleasantly-homophobic Alfonse D&#039;Amato wasn&#039;t representative of millions of New Yorkers outside of Chelsea.  Bigotry and ignorance are everywhere.  Sometimes, bigotry and ignorance are especially pungent among &quot;victims&quot;--condescending gays in gay colonies, man-hating women, racist blacks.  Some of you should be so gracious as to remove yourselves from that camp.</description>

		<description>Nothing like blowing this whole deal open.  Send a contribution to the ACLU.  And sit back and hopefully watch the grandchildren of the KKK of old get what they deserve.</description>
