Attitude is part of any class's grade. If you are not cooperating with your instructor, in any way, it is reasonable to assume you will get a lower grade.

I don't think it is discriminatory in PE because that is how the class is set-up. I don't like certain kinds of math, but I had to do it.
However, it is discrimination to disallow same sex couples to dance at school functions and the schools should be prosecuted for discrimination for interfering with them. Who the kid's dance with is none of their business. |

I think it's a pretty stupid rule. What harm is done by two dudes dancing together?

They offer dancing for gays in high school. They call it wrestling.

When you went to school, didn't you expect to get a lower grade if you didn't do what the teacher said he/she wanted you to do? There's no discrimination, EVERYONE has to do what they are told. You can't whine you're being discriminated against because you don't want to do what they say, that's bullshit.

Just because that's the way it is doesn't mean it's right does it? I mean that question to be considered from a philosophical viewpoint. For example, if we all rested on our laurels and said, "the way it is is good enough", would we still be living in caves? (metaphorically speaking of course. I recognise the right of those that don't believe in evolution to change that to habitation provided by God)

Would it be discrimination if the teacher made everyone dance with a partner of the same race, or suffer a lower grade?

What do they call it when I wrestle with your [insert loved female relative]?

So you have years of knowledge about schools in the south? I went to school in the 50s. Black kids got the new schools, new books. No one asked us kids about shit. Drop by and spend a few days with me and I'll show you just what you got for you tax money, if you pay any.

There shouldn't be a problem if two guys or two girls want to dance with eachother. You should not force a gay person to dance with someone of the opposite sex just as you shouldn't force a straight person to dance with someone of the same sex. If you are forcing people to do one, you should do the other. If you are not willing to do one, do not expect everyone to do the other as well

Considering I'm paying large sums of mone-- er, considering youre paying large sums of money on my behalf to go to the school, I think I'm completely entitled to demand not to be discriminated against.
