Someone who fears what will happen if women and transgendered people gain true equality, if all humans are able to marry someone they love, or any other thing that absolutely needs to happen before this fight is over, should not be babied into thinking their fears are reasonable. No matter how real that fear feels to them, it’s still illogical, irrational, and completely naive. The only thing they stand to lose is their ability to scream about being afraid without being seen as a bigoted fool.

Dancing all night doesn’t mean your true self is a dancer any more than running for your life makes you a runner or getting sunburned makes you a piece of toast.

It’s truly a sad state of affairs. Children that were excelling in their classes and overall careers as of this year are having to relocate or enroll in private schools in order to graduate high school with an accredited degree. Not to mention, what about the average students? How are they to function in society without an accredited high school diploma?
How is that fair to those students? How does that commend the parents of those children for the diligence they have shown towards moulding their children’s attitudes towards their education? How does that honor the commitment of those Clayton County public school teachers that vowed to work hard and toe the line for their students and the sacrifices the surely had to make to achieve the high standards they place on themselves.
Shame on the Clayton County School Board. I hope SACS does not grant them a probationary period and throws the book at them. The State of Georgia overall needs a severe shakedown and the overall political landscape need to be rebuilt from the ground up.
