DeMint: Sexually Active Unmarried Women And Gay Teachers Should Be Barred From Classrooms

Holy Jeebus, this freak really wants to return us to the theocratic dark ages.

Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) says that even though "no one" came to his defense in 2004 after he said that gay people and unwed mothers should be banned from teaching, "everyone" quietly told him that he shouldn't back down from his position.

He also implied that not banning gay people and women who have sex before marriage from teaching would be an attack on Christians, and defended his position on banning gay teachers because he holds the same position on women who have sex outside of marriage.

"[When I said those things,] no one came to my defense," he said, the Spartanberg Herald-Journal reported. "But everyone would come to me and whisper that I shouldn't back down. They don't want government purging their rights and their freedom to religion."

I guess that "freedom of religion" to DeMint means "freedom to deny equal rights to women and gays."

How does he propose we determine if unmarried women applying for teaching positions are sexually active?

DeMint was featured prominently in a recent Fresh Air segment on the influence of fundamentalist Christianity in Congress. He is closely aligned with The Family and also "C Street", both fundamentalist organizations of a rather shadowy nature.
Their agenda is essentially turning America back into a Christian nation.... (if it ever was one.)

I assume he will want to ban sexually active single men from teaching, too. Right?

Wait, how would you determine that?

Oh, well, let's just take the lazy way, even if it lets sopme slip through the cracks. Just fire the ones who get pregnant. Sounds fair, doesn't it?

What do you mean it wont deter sexually-active bachelors?

It's called a hymen.

And conservatives have the gall to claim that they want to get government out of peoples' lives.

"everyone quietly told him that he shouldn't back down from his position."

i would too. let everyone know what a whackjob you are.

 

[Regnad Kcin]

Considering the subject matter,

"everyone" quietly told him that he shouldn't back down from his position

conjures an image I've now gotta carry around in my head for a while. Thanks for that!

Something like a 'wide stance'?

 

[Tricky]

No. If there are no more stories like mine, the world will be a poorer place.

That's easy to determine, if their skirt hems are higher than their ankles they are obviously sexually active harlots.

But you don't even need to apply that test, the fact that they are applying to work rather than waiting at home for "Mr Right" to come along obviously means they are wanton women.

OK, everybody pony up and buy this guy a one-way ticket to Tehran.

I think he would be much happier there.

 

[timhau]

You mean Tehran, South Carolina?

Of course not,

Ask the married and unmarried men they had sex with ?

And let's not forget protecting the kids from the gay agenda*. Any single male should be willing to sumbit to regular inspections of the anus for untoward signs. After all if they have nothing to fear they have nothing to hide.

*Item 7a - get boys interested in unmanly sports where they wear lots of padding and grab other boys.
