Once again, Robert Knight has penned a bigoted column for the Washington Times. Knight claims that by sticking up for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender students, the ACLU is “trying to force sexual dystopia on high schools” and that the organization “insist[s] on promoting perversity as diversity.” He also wrote: “In effect, the ACLU is at war with nature and nature's God.”
From Knight's October 8 column:
[T]he ACLU was busy trying to force sexual dystopia on high schools in Mississippi. On Aug. 17, the ACLU and the ACLU of Mississippi sued the Wesson Attendance Center for leaving a picture out of the yearbook of a female student who insisted on dressing in a tuxedo instead of female attire.
The suit alleges that the school violated Ceara Sturgis' rights under federal code Title IX, which prohibits discrimination “based on sex and sex stereotypes,” and the 14th Amendment's guarantee of equal protection.
“It's unfair and unlawful to force students to conform to outdated notions about what boys and girls should look like,” said Christine P. Sun, senior counsel with the ACLU Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Project.
Outdated? Perhaps we could solve the attire problem once and for all if everyone - and I mean everyone, including the football team - wore only burqas. It also would cover up those pesky cross necklaces and other Christian symbols, so it would be a win-win for the ACLU.
Back in March, the ACLU went after Itawamba Agricultural High School in Fulton, Miss., for canceling a prom because a lesbian wanted to show up with a girlfriend. Failing to allow Constance McMillen, 18, to turn the prom into a circus violated all sorts of constitutional rights to annoy your classmates, the ACLU contended, not in so many words. Constance is doing OK, though, nursing her grievances by starring as a victim of America's intolerance at leftist events.
In the ACLU's world, any public reflection of normalcy is regarded as a “sexual stereotype.” In effect, the ACLU is at war with nature and nature's God, who specifically created male and female to be gloriously different and complementary.
Is any school safe from the ACLU's insistence on promoting perversity as diversity? Don't bet on it.
