Ottawa school board to ask students if they are gay - Polidicks

It shouldn't be such an issue to ask them.

[QUOTE=nikomo;25950369]I like how they wrote heterosexual but then the homosexual option is "Queer". Amerikkka[/QUOTE] but...this is...Canada [editline]9th November 2010[/editline] which is technically America, but...that isn't what "Amerikkka" refers to.

12 year olds who laugh at the word "vagina" Yes. . . such a reliable source for information

[QUOTE=PvtCupcakes;25948369] Yeah, lets make anti-gay policies because there are only 10 homosexuals in the school. That makes it okay.[/QUOTE] Cause they just want lawsuits rammed up their asses. Seriously, its a survey to create policies against bullying. Has everyone missed the parallels here?

[QUOTE=Fahrenheit;25949597]Easier said than done.[/QUOTE] Not really, when you know for a fact that the Federal Government is behind you on an issue such as uh...anything, it's A LOT easier to stand up and fight.

[QUOTE=NightmareXx;25945240]this isn't any of their fucking business[/QUOTE] Agreed.

[QUOTE=Wolfmatyr;25950023]That sounds remarkably familiar. Tell me, did you attend high school in BC? And if so, did you attend high school in Vancouver? (Only answer the second part if you answered [B]YES[/B] to the first part or the previous box on the scantron)[/QUOTE] The hilarious thing about this is that I went to school in Nova Scotia and Newfoundland, Proving canadian public schools are equally dumb from coast to coast.

This is more likely to cause harm than good. Imagine if you were a 12 year old (well, I doubt you all need to imagine), and were going through changes and confusing times. You sit down, and look at the questionnaire, and, when it comes to the sexual orientation question , you see the first option for Homosexual is "Queer." That's going to be great for your self confidence, isn't it?

[QUOTE=TailsPrower;25957220]... What? What the fuck kind of school system would put on a questionnaire "are you a faggot?"[/QUOTE] where did he say or imply that they would

If anything Queer is more offensive than gay, lol

[QUOTE=TailsPrower;25957220]... What? What the fuck kind of school system would put on a questionnaire "are you a faggot?"[/QUOTE] In the source the OP posted, it says one of the options is "Queer," which I've only ever heard used as a derogatory term.

[QUOTE=Revanold;25957381]If anything Queer is more offensive than gay, lol[/QUOTE] Yeah I was surprised at the lack of a shitstorm over this.

Wow. Parent's are actually signing a petition sheet top stop the quiz being taken

[QUOTE=Hjortkayre;25958184]In the source the OP posted, it says one of the options is "Queer," which I've only ever heard used as a derogatory term.[/QUOTE]Reread the OP, and yes, I find that extremely offensive.

[QUOTE=NightmareXx;25945240]this isn't any of their fucking business[/QUOTE] This is why the rest of Canada hates quebec.

[QUOTE=Covalent;25945265]Christian teacher walks into a class; "Are any of you students gay?" "Yes!" said one. "YOU'RE GOING TO HELL AND YOU WILL NEVER LEARN... Anyway, on with calculus."[/QUOTE] My mom said that during her health education class, the teacher said masturbation is normal and asked any students that masturbated to raise their hands. She then proceeded to verbally lash anyone who raised their hand, told them they'd go blind and grow fur on their hands, and that they were committing a most vile sin and were bound for Hell.

[QUOTE=Mr. Someguy;25949910]Our school issued a school-wide ban on all bottled drinks after one kid was found with beer in a soda bottle.[/QUOTE] You should stab someone with your schoolwork and see what they ban

[QUOTE=ZekeTwo;25963006]You should stab someone with your schoolwork and see what they ban[/QUOTE] They'll ban cough medicine for no reason.

What the fuck does 'Two-spirited' even mean?

[QUOTE=NightmareXx;25945240]this isn't any of their fucking business[/QUOTE] ugh, sometimes facepunch pisses me off "GAY AND PROUD, IF THEY DONT LIKE IT, THEY CAN PISS OFF!" Its obvious that gays want to be a demographic of their own or else there wouldnt be "gay pride parades", and then when theyre finally granted the recognition of a demographic, they COMPLAIN that "ITS NONE OF THEIR BUSINESS LOL" “Heterosexual,” “Lesbian,” [B]“Queer,”[/B] “Questioning,” However, "Queer" is totally out of line.

[QUOTE=DOG-GY;25945276]Everyone knows their sexuality at grade 7, of course. We stop developing identities after 5th[/QUOTE] Somewhat true I guess. I still find myself questioning myself sometimes.

I don't have a problem with this. It's not like you're being forced to answer truthfully, or answer at all.

Besides, no one said that all of facepunch was gay.

Why does it matter? Not like you wear a huge sign saying "GAY KID" on you everywhere you go, you fill out the questionaire and ta dah, if you don't want it read then don't let others see it.
