What on earth is wrong with that? Gay people aren’t allowed to have jobs? Their sexual orientation really has nothing to do with the everyday running of a school… I wouldn’t worry about it affecting the students either, it’s not like the school principal is “cool”. They don’t seem to be Catholic schools either from what I get from the article. I had gay teachers in college, trust me, their sexuality never came up and it made absolutely no difference. :cool:
 
The schools are public, not Catholic. Why did you post in the Catholic News forum?
 
The only problem I would have with it is if the “boy/girlfriend” was showing affection in front of students. Of course, I would have difficulty if it was heterosexuals doing this, too. Now, if the school had some other issues, I would consider other options.

Then how did you know they were gay?

In collge you are an adult capable of knowing the difference and its implications.

At school, you are a young impresionable child. The fact the principals are gay gives legitimacy before these young people towards a lifestyle that is both perverted and unacceptable.

I would not tolerate this situation in my children’s school.
 
Also, dontcha think these gay principals will do everything in their power to ensure that no student leaves their school with “homophobic” (read: Christian) attitudes intact?
It would be naive to think otherwise.
 
I agree that homosexuals also need jobs. I wouldn’t want them talking about their sex lives, but I don’t want any principal talking about his or her sex life. I don’t see a problem here at all.

The problem is the example they are setting. It would be the same if they were openly sexually masochistic or sadistic. It is information the students should not have because it cannot help but affect their moral judgements.

One was just extremely an extremely effeminate man, the other was a very butch woman… everyone knew, it’s just one of those things, everyoe was aware although they never brought it up. Somehow I never “caught” gay. 😛 We all fall short in life, some more than others, and luckily you can’t discriminate against someone for what their love life is, since it has no bearing on their ability to perform their job.

Moreso, give your kids a little more credit, if you’ve taught them right from wrong they should have no trouble retaining their moral values and respecting their principal as exactly what he is: a principal. I’ve always managed to do so.

Being “openly gay” doesn’t mean that either of them walks around shouting it fromthe rooftops or trying to convince anyone to adopt their way of life. It only necessarily means that they would not deny it if asked. No one’s sexuality ought to be brought up in the workplace anyway, gay or straight, either would be highly inappropriate. I would find it a bit odd if a job interview included questions about my sexuality, even though I’m straight.

If it shouldn’t be brought up, and they are not shouting it from the rooftops, why do they need a protection clause as a minority status.:confused:
 
Actually just to mention it, my highschool principal was gay also. It never came up or caused any problem. I can’t remember one single time that I even thought about it.
 
Um…did people think gays didnt have to work for a living? They’re so magical… if they dont have jobs in movies, broadway or as hairstylists, they pick their money off of trees… :rolleyes:

The day America decides what career gay people can and cant have is when I will begin voluneering for every gay activist group I can find. I dont condone the practice of homosexuality but God chose to be ambiguous as to how to treat them in society…and I dont buy into Paul’s shun them from society approach…different times and culture. And if anyone brings up Old Testament sayings be prepared to explain why we dont still stone people to death for adultry or a host of other such nonsense in the OT.

And I dont buy into the worry about the gays telling kids about them stuff…thats treating their minds as being perverted and always thinking about sex…last I checked…theres WAYYY more hetero teachers having sex with students…not gays…thats reserved for the church mostly…odds are in todays classrooms there are kids from same sex families. Its a fact of life. Having gay teachers aint gonna make them gay,if anything they wont devlop some weird backwoods southern hate of all them “fags”
 
There are jobs and there are jobs.

There are jobs where you keep your sins to yourself and away from other people’s kids.

Why on earth would you assume their sins would be anywhere near anyone’s kid? Do you talk up your sexuality at work?
 
Also, respect for a person’s right to be involved in and contribute to society and agreeing with their choices can be two different things. We will never all agree on everything, but we need to learn to live civily and with respect for basic human dignity and the right to live one’s life as one sees fit within the constraints of the law.
 
I’m amazed. I would think that on this forum, at least, there might be some people able to see that there could be a problem with giving openly sexually disordered people (with a higher than average rate of sex with minors, too) control over the education of children. :rolleyes:

Because they are “open” about being homosexual sinners. My guess is they are also “proud” about it. So if my kid was in their school, what do you think the chances are that they now have a role model, paid for by my tax dollars, to teach my kids that you can be “proud” of sinning.

Isn’t this common sense? :yup:

No it’s not common sense, since it’s a public school we’re speaking about. If you’re really that afraid of a gay principal then you can send your kids to a Catholic school. Done and done.

You know, there are protestants out there that think us Catholics are all antichrists and as big of sinners as homosexuals. Here is the problem with this “land of the free” “liberty” thing… if you want to protect your right to believe as you wish, then you have to allow others to believe as they wish, or the whole system becomes hypocritical and falls apart.
