Teacher accused of putting 'hit' out on supposed gay student

A teacher in Clayton County GA is accused by a student of putting a hit out to kill one of his students because he is supposedly gay. He took the 16 yr old male out of the classroom and asked him if he was gay.The word inappropriate doesn't even seem worth using in this instance, but this incident was just the first of many.

According to the student's lawyer, Terrence Madden, Forde then got into a verbal altercation with the student on the very next day, resulting in the teacher threatening that he would hit the boy in his "f-ing mouth".

When the boys mother reported the incident to the principal, nothing was done about it.

Boy refuses to Say Pledge

It's not often a 10 yr old refuses to follow the system and refuse to stand and say the Pledge of allegience in school, but this boy has some balls. He refuses to do it because he says gays and lesbians are discriminated against...and our constitution states "All men are created equal" which he says isn't true. Here is his interview with his father on CNN. He is in a small town in Arkansas and has been harrased by his classmates and called a "gaywad" for his action, but he stands behind his decision.

January plans - 2010

Planning to celebrate my birthday next year...hitting the big 65...in New Orleans with a crew from Lake Edge United Church of Christ. This will be their 2nd trip down to help rebuild after Hurricane Katrina. Its hard to believe that after all this time, people are still trying to rebuild their homes and lives. I have wanted to do something to help ever since it happened and now have the chance. Can't think of a better way to celebrate my birthday. OK, heres the kicker...we ALSO get to participate in the Joan of Arc Mardi Gras kick off parade. We will be costumed as 1500's monks and nuns and sprinkling parade watchers with holy water...and handing out holy water as throws...now how cool is that. I am soooo looking forward to this. The above video was from last years trip...looks like they had a great time!!!

What a fantastic routine!

This is so beautiful, you gotta love it!!!
