    -_- Teachers will still be allowed to, how are they going to monitor it? Unless they have an extremely bigoted principal who monitors all classes, or teachers who snoop, how will they know if a teacher talks about it. Also if its a bill prohibiting discussion, this means bigots can't discuss it either :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    Sounds like Section 28 from Britain, which lasted 1988 to 2003.

    We're talking Tennessee. The kids will go home and mention it to their parents, who will bitch to the principal, who will fire the teacher. Yay for free speech, honest discussion, and ignorant bigots.
