[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Never realized how homophobic my kid's middle school was until this letter came out.  I actually thought moving to Rockville was a liberal safe area.  It seems most of the parents are supportive in person, but here on this board - a lot of hate.  Maybe it is just the same conservative person?  [/quote]

I commented earlier. My child is gay, as are several other close family members. It is not clear from what was in the letter how serious this was and not is it clear it’s not an “in-joke” among kids who are gay themselves-I assure that type of thing happens. Of course it’s possible that it’s actually hate based and was an actual attempt to foment homophobic hate but that is not evident at all. Furthermore, the principal seems to be treating it as though they were actively recruiting to the club-if you want kids to sometimes think better of bad ideas and delete them you should distinguish in your response to actual events and aborted passing ideas.

you are troll and not from Wood - the LGBTQ community is horrified and scared for their kids.  Not thinking "oh a gay person in the school did this."  That is not this kid or their friends.  So please stop [/quote]

Oh please.  These are middle-schoolers.  They push boundaries and do dumb things.  There’s no indication these kids did anything that actually harmed anyone else.  There is no crime here.  There’s stupidity, certainly, but nothing that rises to the level of criminal act.  [/quote]

Doing dumb things has consequences sometimes.  Starting a homophobic club is one of them[/quote]
