| View homosexual film, or school faces lawsuit |

| ACLU tells district: Force students to watch 'tolerance training' video. If administrators of Kentucky's Boyd County school district can't find a way to force all students to attend sexual orientation and gender identity "tolerance training," the American Civil Liberties Union is threatening to take them to court — again. Ten months ago, the district settled a lawsuit with the ACLU over the right of a student group, the Gay-Straight Alliance, to meet on campus. The year-long litigation strained relations in the conservative northeast portion of the state. In addition to allowing the group to meet on campus after school, district officials agreed that all students, staff and teachers would be required to receive "tolerance training..." So, I guess the ACLU is demanding that homosexual students be beaten to death, not just ignored. |

| #7 Folks it's called a counter suit againts the district and the ACLU. All you have to do is have more money, lawyers and guns than they do. |

| #3 I certainly agree that homosexuals deserve to be accorded all the civil rights under the Constitution that I am, but I don't have to to be forced to accept the homosexual lifestyle as legitimate. I can't, under the Constitution, be forced to associate with groups I have no desire to associate with. My children should not be forced to attend a film espousing a position I find morally decadent and that is in conflict with my religious beliefs. |

| #1 And the NY Times' readers wonder what is wrong with Kansas (and all the other red states). This only shows that ignorance reigns on the Charles River and Manhattan more so than in Topeka or Birmingham. |
