“Don’t Say Gay” Bill

“The bill’s Republican sponsor Rep. Joey Hensley explained this week<http://www.tennessean.com/article/20120418/NEWS0201/304170105/-Don-t-Say-Gay-bill-advances-in-the-House> that “I have two children — in the third and fourth-grade — and don’t want them to be exposed to things I don’t agree with … Even though the state board disallows this now, I’m afraid it does happen and sex education is talked about in a way that it is acceptable.”

I don’t want my children exposed to such things either – economics is a banned topic in our household…

“The oppressors do not perceive their monopoly on having more as a privilege
which dehumanizes others and themselves. They cannot see that, in the egoistic
pursuit of having as a possessing class, they suffocate in their own possessions
and no longer are; they merely have” - Paulo Freire.
