Oklahoma state representative Kevin Calvey (republican…surprise, surprise) praises the state board of education for its move to endorse discrimination against gay and lesbian people<\/a>…<\/span><\/p>\n

State Rep. Kevin Calvey praised the Oklahoma State Board of Education today for repealing their sexual orientation policy.<\/p>\n

After a request from Calvey, the State Board of Education met today to make a rule change that repeals their current sexual orientation policy by modifying it to be in sync with federal and state law.<\/p>\n

"This brings Oklahoma’s educational rules in line with federal and state law and also in line with the values shared by the large majority of Oklahomans," said Calvey, R-Del City.<\/p>\n

Currently, federal and state laws require strong anti-discrimination policies in the areas of gender and race but do not address sexual orientation.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Notice the equivocation there.  They are not taking protection from discrimination away from gay citizens, they are merely bringing their laws into conformance with federal rules…which only happen to not protect gay people from discrimination.  If homosexuality is such a shameful, immoral thing, as these folks so vehemently insist it is, then why do they act like they’re ashamed to admit what they’re doing, when they do it to homosexuals?<\/p>\n

But even more then that…notice this:<\/p>\n

\n

"The board’s old policy would have opened the door for our schools to become battlegrounds where activists for ‘alternative’ lifestyles would try to undermine the moral teachings of parents," said Calvey. "Now, Oklahomans won’t have to worry about that."<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Oklahomans.  Oklahomans.  None of whom, apparently in that barren wasteland that is the mental landscape of Kevin Calvey, are homosexual, because homosexuals sure as hell have something to worry about now.  But no…Oklahomans don’t need to worry about anything that might happen to them.  They’re not Oklahomans, they’re not citizens, they might not even be human beings as he understands the term, and they’re certainly not his neighbors.<\/p>\n
