[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Clearly they had a relationship. That's not what I'm referring to. Is there a test question that specifically refers to Romeo and Juliet's sexuality, or about some other aspect of the book?

When people start to behave like you people are above, it's because you clearly get the point, but have no intelligent retort.

My guess is you same people would be in an uproar if there was a book kids were reading where a character even suggested homosexuality wasn't something he/she believed in.

It's all about the agenda, not about rights and freedom.

I was thinking last night that I will be wholly amused when there's shock and surprise, when progressive policies win out.  "They KEPT that teacher that sexually abused children? How could they DO that?".  My response? It's what you voted for - you just weren't savvy enough to understand that.[/quote]

Is it really necessary for a test question to refer to Romeo and Juliet's sexuality? What would that test question be? "Do you think that the relationship between Romeo and Juliet was romantic? Why or why not?" "Do you think that Romeo and Juliet actually consummated their marriage before the opening of Act 3, Scene 5? Why or why not?" Any reasonable person's answer to these questions would be, "Yes, duh."

And no, I'm pretty sure that I did not vote for policies for not firing teachers who are child abusers. "Progressive" does not mean, "It's ok for anybody to do anything, yay!"

And really, homosexuality is not something you believe in or don't believe in, like Santa Claus or the tooth fairy. Gay people actually, really exist, for real. I personally have known many, many gay people in my life. You probably have too.[/quote]

No it isn't. Should there.be a test question that says 'Bill and Tom get married?'[/quote]
