Scools Board member calls students Faggots

That is some real twisted logic. If, for example, the Holocaust musume invites people from various backgrounds to discuss genocide, and does not invite a representative group of Holocaust deniers, it would not be a diverse group?

Sorry, I'm not gay, I do wish for diversity, and I feel that people who make bigoted moronic comments like those in the opening post should be condemned.

Again, I simply say this is an intriguing topic. The word "diversity" is a PC term that has come to mean "A healthy variety of varying points of view that boil down to the same point of view." If you have still a different point of view, bug off! To use the holocaust or human sacrafice is kind of using an extreme which serves to miss the point. (Like saying, "Everyone has something beautiful and positive to offer." And someone else says, "Oh yeah? Well, what about Hitler?")
 
Anyone who thinks a "gay-straight alliance" is a sex club needs to get laid more often. Sounds like he has "gay alliances" on the brain.

Wasn't he an artist, or at least an art student? Isn't it possible he created a few pretty paintings, even if he didn't produce any masterpieces? :confused:

Well, I'm not going to go into details but there were many positives to Hitler. Of course he was a huge negative in the end, and the positives only applied if you were an ethnic German. If the guy hadn't had some initial positive effects, he would never have gotten as far as he had.

You can recognize this and still hold to some absolutes, like "killing innocents because they happen to belong to a certain ethnic group is wrong."

His paintings were pretty crappy. He probably destroyed more good paintings than he ever produced. Nonetheless, one was recently auctioned for big bucks. You can see them if you Google--I don't much feel like plastering one up here.

Who said anything about human sacrifice? My holocaust example was used because it was an example that any sane person could relate to. The fact that there are some people out there who I may consider sane who would not see the harm in the statements in the opening post is something that I am currently reevaluating. Society and its opinion's evolve. Many things that may have been considered acceptable 50 years ago in America would not be accepted in the mainstream today. That is a good thing. And, I would argue that a significant part of this social evolution was due to the "PC" police, and to people gaining an understanding of the groups that they once disparaged (diversity).

The term "PC" has come to be a catchall cover for bigots and jerks (IMHO). Any labeling of criticism of the statements outlined in the OP as simple PC BS is ridiculous. Accepting diversity does not require someone to sit back and accept being attacked by simpletons.

"These kids are faggots" isn't a point of view, it's a crude and unneccisary way to express a point of view. If he wanted to say "look, sexuality is ultimately about who you have sex with, and I don't think it's appropriate to have a club on campus that focuses on who you have sex with" then that would be fine. But calling it a faggot club is different.

Because jotted notes have long ensured inarguable accounts of what really happened.

Yes there were. He saved money on bullets by lining up babies single file then shooting them 6 bodies thick with a single bullet. Very efficiant artist, he was.

Okay, I get the irony, but Hitler never shot any babies. He had people do that for him, and made a point of keeping away from the ugly stuff. If you really want to try and get inside AH's head, you need to know that.

Anyhow, this is a thread derail so I'll say no more about it here.

And the best response to this problem is to accept every point of view as equally valid? No terms are off limits, no objections can be made?

Reminds me of the idiot teachers in elementary school, that when you went to tell them that one of the kids was sticking other kids with a needle that "nobody likes a tattletale".
