Quote"My comment was that if something wasn't done soon, Larry would be taken behind the back shed of the P.E. area and be beaten to death," Brown said. "I said something to the effect of, 'Gay rights? What about the rights of the sixth-, seventh- and eighth-graders who come here and are not ready for this information?'
I haven't really been following this story, mainly because it seemed such a local issue, important as it is.
But I don;t understand this at all.
If 6th, 7th and 8th grade are old enough to beat some kid to death, surely they are old enough to undertstand some basic realities.
Now it seems, on the basis of this testamony, that these teachers were not just prepared to stand back and see a young boy being beaten to death, they were quite prepared to see other young boys throwing theior own lives away with criminal charges, at least of assault. As it happens, those teachers have not only destroyed the life of the dead boy, but the lives of those involved in his murder.
What sort of people are these? That they, teachers, can see several young boys, destroying their lives? Never mind that one boy was homosexual and the others didn't like it.
I have to say, I am utterly astonished, that these teachers could even dare to admit what they have done.
