High School Punishes Student for Saying Homosexuality is Wrong

• Posted on September 22, 2011 at 3:18pm by

  Dakota Ary, an honors student at Western Hills High School in Fort Worth, Texas, was in for a surprise after being sent to the principal’s office and punished for sharing his opinion.
After telling another student that he believes homosexuality is wrong, Dakota was reprimanded and given in-school suspension. The incident purportedly unfolded during a German class at the school. He explains:
 

“We were talking about religions in Germany. I said, ‘I’m a Christian. I think being a homosexual is wrong.
It wasn’t directed to anyone except my friend who was sitting behind me. I guess

[the teacher] heard me. He started yelling. He told me he was going to write me an infraction and send me to the office.” Following the incident his mother, Holly Pope, received a call from an assistant principal at the school informing her of the punishment. In an interview with Fox News Radio, she says was “absolutely stunned“:
 

“Dakota is a very well-grounded 14-year-old. He’s been in church his whole life and he’s been taught to stand up for what he believes.
He was stating an opinion. He has a right to do that. They punished him for it.”

  Dakota Ary After hearing the student’s explanation, the assistant principal reduced the punishment from two days to one, but Dakota and his mother aren’t satisfied, as they believe his free speech has been infringed upon.
While the district isn’t speaking out about the incident, on Wednesday, Dakota, his mother and attorney Matt Krause met with the school’s principal. Pope hopes that the school will remove the disciplinary blemish from the child’s record, while pledging that there won’t be any further retaliation.
In commenting on the incident, Krause said, “Students don’t lose their first amendment rights just because they go in the schoolhouse door.”
Even if the issue is dismissed, Dakota will still be in the same classroom, with the same teacher — a concern that the family will still have to contend with should he opt to continue taking German.

He sounds like a fine young man, may God richly bless him and his family. He did  a brave thing standing up for God and the truth. That teacher and principal should be fired. POWDERMAN.

Sounds like unbalanced fanatics who punished this lad.. 
       http://www.foxnews.com/us/2011/09/22/texas-school-punishes-boy-for-opposing-homosexuality/
 
  Here is the first article of the Bill of Rights;
 
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
   First Amendment – Establishment Clause, Free Exercise Clause; freedom of speech, of the press, and of assembly; right to petition
  "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances" """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
 
   Now, that is pretty clear and any "educator" should understand it.  I think this is the perfect opportunity to prosecute somebody for INFRINGING upon that lad's rights !
   Hopefully, many more cases can come up where such INFRINGING in the name of PC, has been perpetrated.

Perhaps this school district should launch and internal investigation to discover just when, where, why, and how their liberal indoctrination manchine failed this poor misinformed boy.
 
They need to fix this ASAP. They cant risk graduating a class of people who think for themselves.

Its all about promoting homosexuality as a normal lifestyle. It doesn't matter if the lifestyle spreads disease and causes an early death. Our public schools have to promote it as normal and healthy, which is far from the actual truth.

I'm not going to hold my breath waiting for the ACLU to come in and stand up for this kid's 1st Amendment rights.

The Christian is always wrong. Keep repeating that and welcome to the 21st century
Perhaps congress should just go ahead and make Christianity a crime since the 1st ammendment obviously does not apply to them.
It has been said that in the end times they will call evil good and good evil.
