1. The world is heating,
The economy is tanking, food production is going to be a problem for the next year or two or three or four, there are wars all over the damn world, and the woman picks academia and gays as her battle? Where do these people come from?

Oh. Right. Georgia.

19. That's pretty much what I remind people whenever one of these theosexuals rears their ugly head.
With everything burning around us and destruction around every corner, this is what you choose as a pet issue?

4. Has she every audited one of these classes?
I doubt it. I haven't and I can bet they deal with how they affect society on a whole. Such as poverty (as in prostitution) in inner cities.
When it comes to "Queer Theory" that could include a whole range of topics such as religion and discrimination, topics we all should be learning about and understanding.
Instead she uses inflammatory talking points to further rw hatred and bigotry and blame yet another minority for the problems we face regarding the economy.

11. Dramatize your ideas.
12. Throw down a challenge.

So let's take her challenge and let her know what we think of her bigotry and possible misrepresentation of those courses.
Her phone number is posted up thread.

14. Arouse in the other an eager want? That is why the GOP is so upset with Gays! Thanks for the link.
Mostly her hand gestures were unnatural.

5. Figures
It'd be some woman from Cherokee county talking about how college is corrupting our children. Of all the things in the GA budget that could be cut she targets education. God, my state is so ass backwards.

8. Ahhh, that marvelous tradition of combining
a husband & wife's first names and then hanging that around a kid's neck. I'm sorry charlie & alice did this to their intelligence challenged child. She has now matured and is taking her revenge.

9. sick stupid people are obsessed with other's sexuality
and how it effects others...

Here's a fucking clue from someone who is straight. It has no effect on you, nor should it, unless you my dear have a problem with your own sexuality and feel the need to project your insecurities on others who just want to live as they are, and not as you claim is fit for them.

Get help for yourself...!

12. I think maybe she should try loosening those Pearls from around her neck
as they appear to be cutting off circulation to the brain. While watching this video I kept getting the sneaky suspicion that this lady is a bit of a drinker. I could be totally off base of course, but there was something about her demeanor or appearance that makes me wonder.

13. u must read her bio...I remain befuddled as to how someone could
have traveled and been an educator and still believe this nonsense. She does belong to the baptist church, and that overrides a lot of education, but still. This amount of ignorance and bigotry took some work.

17. Sounds like a smear campaign coming from Rep. Byrd. And gays are the target.
I'd like way more information about these courses she wants the state to discontinue.

Seems that she is putting fear and loathing on her adgenda before compassionate understanding.

It's very typical of right-wing zealots to attack any class that gives out legitimate information

on gays. They always want to put a negative spin on information that would be otherwise helpful.

It's in a category with book burning. Taking information away from citizens. Quite scary

as far as this gay guy is concerned.:evilfrown:

18. As am I
I finished my degree in Anthropology last may and am currently working on a Biology degree in Athens at UGA. In all of my social science classes for Anthropology, which covered some psychology, sociology, and some poly sci I never saw or heard of any class related to male prostitution and oral sex. Unless she doesn't understand modern psychology and sociology, I have no idea what the hell she's talking about other than she's trying to scare people.
