    The policy is terrible, but death threats are not the solution. Instead they are part of the problem.

    I don't understand? How is a policy banning homophobia or trying to prevent it a bad thing? Or did you instead think it was saying an anti-gay policy?

    "the school district's controversial anti-homophobia policy."

    How can an anti-homophobia policy be controversial? How can any anti-bullying, or something that is trying to make the school a safe place, be controversial? How can the opposing side say "It's alright to bully people if they are gay," even if homosexuality in general is a controversial subject? And especially in canada...

    I want to see this crudely drawn knife with blood on it. I wonder if they used crayons.

    Pretty disturbing stuff. This letter doesn't suggest a really high level of maturity in the writer.

    Yeah, 'cause lunatics going around killing teachers for disagreeing with them, that won't do anything to the children at all...

    Hopefully they can find that asshole before something happens.
