Special Ed. Teacher tries to prevent gay students from attending prom

Quote:

A team of Valley high schoolers and parents rally for a separate prom that bans gays.

NBC 2's Paige Preusse reports how Sullivan High School says there's nothing legally they can do to allow it... several students and parents are taking matters into their own hands.

Several parents, students, and others who believe gays should be banned from the Sullivan High School prom met Sunday at the Sullivan First Christian Church.

"We don't agree with it and it's offensive to us," said Diana Medley.

Their idea is to create their own separate...traditional prom. Students say there are several others from their high school who agree, but are afraid to take a stand.

"If we can get a good prom then we can convince more people to come and follow what they believe," said student Kynon Johnson.

And now they want everyone to know where they stand.

"We want to make the public see that we love the homosexuals, but we don't think it's right nor should it be accepted," said a local student.

But not all in the community think what they're doing is right.

"We shouldn't be condemning people, and that's what judgement is. Christ came to save the people not to condemn them."

Local man Jim Davis says we've all sinned...so why should gays be treated with less respect?

"Love them as a person. You don't have to love what they do, because the gays may not love all the mistakes you make," said Davis.

Diana Medley is a special education teacher in town. She doesn't believe anyone is born gay.

"I believe that it was life circumstances and they chose to be that way; God created everyone equal," said Medley.

"Homosexual students come to me with their problems, and I don't agree with them, but I care about them. It's the same thing with my special needs kids, I think God puts everyone in our lives for a reason," said Madley.

"'So the same goes for gays? Do you think they have a purpose in life?' No I honestly don't. Sorry, but I don't. I don't understand it. A gay person isn't going to come up and make some change unless it's to realize that it was a choice and they're choosing God," said Medley.

Several local pastors support the separate prom movement.

"Christians have always been prepared for a fight. Jesus gave us armor for the front, not the back; we're not running anymore," said Bill Phegley with Carlisle Church.

Others, on the other hand, think they're casting stones... instead of spreading love.

"The feeling of being loved and belonging is universal," said Davis.

This story has been blowing up all over the place and has even made it to sites like Gawker and TIME. What is especially saddening to me is that a teacher is one of the main forces behind this. Fortunately, most of the people in the area are opposed to this movement and have started a real opposition to it, including contacting the school corporation and starting a petition.

(Here's the petition)

I thought we stopped calling handicapped people "special ed." once they were out of school and in a job, like a teacher for example.

As long as they create a separate but equal prom for the homosexual students I don't see a problem.

If I read that correctly, the anti-gay people want their own prom that the gays can't go to, but the normal, school sponsored prom is all inclusive?

If that's the case, let the gay-haters throw their own prom. Let them waste their own time and money on it, and watch when no one shows up at it.

So people choose to be disabled or mentally handicapped? Pick your own genetic mutation on the way in.
Did she choose to be this stupid, or was God just having a funny 5 minutes when it came time to make her?
