LIR: JackDawson. I guess I don't find the "but he can do it" argument effective. They school rule doesn't reject all forms of discrimination, it

outlines specific groups that are protected. Being a jerk isn't a protected class, so you can be discriminated against all day long. Being gay is, so, no, you don't get to do that and accept school funds.

Responses:

You used the key words there "protected class". There are certain classifications of people that are entitled to special protection. Personality - pmb Mar 3, 12:46 5

  - Yes, but it's on the school's premises. The group doesn't have to abide by these things, but if it wants the school's backing it does. -- nm - pmb Mar 3, 12:54 3

    - This is so amazingly straight forward, I have a hard time believing that this is a real case. I mean, I know it is, but my brain gets angry at me - musubi Mar 3, 12:57 1

      - What's funny to me is that more than half of us would probably be naked under the robes -- nm - oblique Mar 3, 12:46

- I would agree with both sides in that case. The group can do that and they should sign the policy -- nm - oblique Mar 3, 12:44 1
  - Yeah, I don't see what the beef is. By not signing the pledge, they are undermining their own comments. -- nm - TFox Mar 3, 12:47
just for clarification, I was not calling you a jerk in the IM -- nm - oblique Mar 3, 12:42
