School poster urging tolerance of gays riles suburban Detroit parents

TROY, Mich. (AP) -- A Troy High School classroom poster with a message that "gay people are everyday people," has ignited protests from some parents at the suburban Detroit school.

One of the parents, Anthony Cruz, 49, said he expects about 80 people to join the protest at the next Troy School Board meeting, on May 17. He said the problem with the poster is that the school is supposed to concentrate on academics and leave other matters for after-school time and activities.

Instead, the classroom poster has a "a captive audience," in students, Cruz told The Daily Tribune of Royal Oak. He has two daughters at the school.

Troy School District spokesman Tim McAvoy said Superintendent Janet H. Jopke has met with some parents over the poster and will continue to talk to them about it. He said the poster promotes safety and tolerance.

3. Yeah, what's wrong with you people.

I wonder how many people know and or have friends that are gay/lesbian and don't know it?

I have much more of a problem with the rock hard ignorance of the people supporting jr bu$h and his whole sale slaughter of of an innocent country for power & profit than I do with a persons sexual orientation.

4. God, I feel sorry for any of the gay children in that community.

They must feel like crap.

Then this idiot used a line from the Dem's handbook: He said the problem with the poster is that the school is supposed to concentrate on academics and leave other matters for after-school time and activities.

Yeah right, that's why they want to teach creationism in school science classes.

5. But when it comes to the 10 Commandments in that captive audience

will he still say: "is that the school is supposed to concentrate on academics and leave other matters for after-school time and activities." ???
