Five students suing Anoka-Hennepin schools over gay bullying

• Wow that makees a lot of sense dude. www.web-privacy.au.tc

• Good. Something HAS to be done about this school district, in fact all of the school districts in the new Republican central Minnesota (think Bachman-land) have an epidemic of bullying against LGBT students. So much for "conservative tolerance"! They are showing what they are really about with all of their hateful anti-equal rights fake-Jesus crap. There have been 2 or 3 suicides resulting from this in the last year alone.

• It is not the purpose of the courts to make people 'feel good' about themselves.

• While I think there might be some truth in your statement, that attitude of "The north side is about 30 years behind the rest of the metro as far as being civilized" is never going to get this anywhere.

• I think the point here is that the district has implemented a policy that seems to make it "okay" to bully gay students, in contrast to other students. Kirk more or less supports this by casting homosexuality as a "choice", and these students as fair game for abuse due to that "choice".

• Kirk wrote: "Has anyone ever proven Justin Aaberg absolutely commuted suicide due to this bulling? " Did you miss the part where this is being INVESTIGATED by the DOJ? Maybe that's also why there is a LAWSUIT, Kirk. So that a court can determine if there is sufficient proof. It's ridiculous that you quote the article where it says "the complaint alleges", and then wonder if there is proof. Because, until a court renders a decision, any amount of evidence is mere allegation. Aside from that, it doesn't matter if Aaberg committed suicide due to this bullying. The lawsuit revolves around the allegation that "the district's hands-off policy on sexual orientation has allowed years of bullying for gay students." Hey, that's a quote from the post. You missed that, Kirk. The district is being sued for their POLICY, not for the suicide. The DOJ is investigating the suicides. I learned this from the post, where it says: "The Department of Justice's investigation is looking into the suicides of four students in the district which are blamed on the students' issues with their sexuality, including two cases where bullying may directly have led to suicide." Reading the post can often illuminate these questions that seem to constantly arise in your mind. Do you understand the difference between the DOJ and civil litigation attorneys? Yet another example of Kirk's total lack of reading comprehension. He continually seems to be missing the point, repeatedly and at length. Kirk wrote: "they chose to take on a lifestyle" Idiot. People don't choose to be gay, any more than you chose to be black.

• Posts like this just proves that kirk is a hateful evil vile person.   Good people see children suffering and they want to change the world so its not so bad.   kirk sees children suffering and he gets happy.    you are a terrible person if you don't feel compassion about someone's dead child. 

• Kirk has a point though... IF they were singled out to be picked on.. there not the only ones being picked on.. EVERYONE in scool gets picked on.. If your too small, too fat, too wierd, too smart, too dumb.. anything you can think of... kids are mean.  It just sucks these kids feel they have to end their lives.  Things do get better after High School, they just had no one to tell them that.

• Unlike being a smug, insensitive fuckface... being gay is not a choice.

• Guy - you must be new here.  Kirk's name says it all.  Probably another 10 year old in the basement trying to troll.  

• I don't think it's any big surprise that there's a lot of homophobia in the super redneck northern suburbs in general.  When the students are driving trucks with confederate flags, and many of the staff is from the area, can we really expect much gay-bullying enforcement?  The north side is about 30 years behind the rest of the metro as far as being civilized.  Sorry hometown but its true.

• You're not a very compassionate person, are you?

• Has anyone ever proven Justin Aaberg absolutely commuted suicide due to this bulling?   Or is that just the position the liars (lawyers), have taken because it will make them rich? from above-  "The complaint alleges that district students have been picked-on, verbally assaulted and worse, including claims of "being urinated on, being stabbed in the neck with a pencil, being choked, being pushed into walls, being shoved forcefully into lockers, having objects thrown at them in class, and having books knocked out of their hands." I saw this stuff happen to people who were not gay all the time in school while growing up. Now how could that be? Because the liars (lawyers), want us all to believe, this activity only happened because they chose to take on a lifestyle in which GREATLY increased their chances of getting aids. Was 1/4 of my high school gay? 1/4 of the people in my high school had the EXACT same things happen to them. Hmmm....
