Has she seen any jail yet? I won't be surprised if she doesn't, and probably could get an appeal on being thrown out of school, although, she may be treated like a hero in California, should she decide to relocate. It reminds me of what happened to Jerry Penacoli. He was forced out of PA, and is now a superhero in CA.

Actually, seems to be textbook Munchausen Syndrome:
We can probably count the "anti-gay" part as incidental (not essential) in this case because it was probably chosen for maximum impact, attention, and sympathy. She could have just have easily have chosen anti-female or anti-white for her purposes.
Although, then again, the anti-gay message could be self-loathing in nature. That would be an interesting twist, but it's not likely. |
Hmmm... quite interesting. Her behaviour does seem to indicate Munchausen Syndrome.

Until it became politically incorrect being gay was a psychological illness.

Yes, let's not forget that.
When I experienced the same thing (insults, swear words, etc. on my door) I certainly did not fake it myself.
Glad someone said that.

I don't believe any excused any kind of harrassment, but by all means ignore the actual story and the problem in this particular case and feign outrage over an issue that no one even brought up.

Children should also eat broccoli, brush their teeth and be obedient to their parents, but I don't believe anyone in the topic asserted otherwise. 
Generally imparting ABC after-school specialish lessons in these topics is seen as attempts to steer away from the ACTUAl story...

Well, one of the other people did say that they didn't believe the "homosexualist propaganda." That's why I commented.
The person in the actual story of course behaved very wrongly.
But I was just saying is that when it happened to me it wasn't that way at all. It wasn't "homosexualist propaganda"; I'm not a homosexual and didn't even tell people about it as I knew those in charge (who knew about it) wouldn't do anything about it and would have said it was my fault.
And when it really does happen, while the Catholics on here won't say it's right, instead of saying "well, yes, this type of harassment is wrong," you'll see posts about "these people" and their "agenda."

And that is fair.
Harrassment is wrong.
The homosexual agenda is wrong.
Both exist.
Both should be elminated for the good of mankind.
The pair are not mutally exclusive.
