True Story. A religion teacher assigned her class an essay on what makes a good Christian. One student wrote about praying nightly, say no to abortion, banning gay marriage, and donating money. The other student wrote about talking to God and allowing people to enjoy their lives, and supporting gay marriage. The day the teacher was to hand the papers back, she called up the second student and told him she would pray for him when he went to hell. The student asked why would he be going to hell, and why he got an F on his paper. The teacher told him that Catholicism is against gay marriage. The student looked at her for a minute, then said aloud, "I'm gay." The teacher kicked him out of class as if he had said fuck or worshiped Satan. A girl in the back of class who had a boyfriend and was obviously straight got up and left too.

If you would leave the classroom, repost this. It doesn't matter if you're straight, bi, or gay. It doesn't matter if you're catholic or not. Everyone is a human being and deserves happiness.

Speaking of true stories: megaffe told me that a friend of a former teacher of mine had a friend who was travelling in American with her husband and was extremely pregnant. Anyway, she went into labour so of course they hooned off to the hospital, as you do- I believe police are generally fairly sympathetic about this kind of thing. But they were pulled over and the policeman asked the husband for ID. So the husband reaches into his jacket for his wallet, the policeman thinks he's going for a gun, and shoots him dead in front of his pregnant wife.

Um. Believe it or not? ;)

It would be interesting to find out both when and where those stories took place. Mmm?

Wow.

Just... wow.

People scare me sometimes.

...both of those stories smell highly like urban legends to me, to be honest.

I never managed to get kicked out of class despite saying "fuck" regularly, worshipping Satan and being gay. What is this world coming to? Moral decay of society and all that.

Americans do tend to be pretty jumpy. I like the bit in "Bowling for Coulmbine" where the animated bullet talkes you through American history. Rather a different perspective than the one taught in AP US History. Although apparantly you're supposed to tell the cops what you're doing every time you make a move. Like when my mom got pulled over for speeding she was like, "I'll get my resitration. It's in the glove compartment." and "My lisence is in my purse which is on the backseat. I'll get it for you now." She said that's how you're supposed to address cops because if you don't tell them what you're doing, they'll thinkg you're going for a gun or something.

I believe the first one- I see viewpoints like that in some of my classmates at school. (Like Ellie, for example, who's obsessed with LOTR but won't read HP because it's got wizardry in it. She also refused to admit that a deck of Tarot cards existed.) Thankfully, the teachers aren't like that.

It wasn't his ID, it was something for his wife - painkiller perhaps? - and he idn't tell the police what he was doing - as Miramus said, big nono. I think this is true, but as I can't remember which teacher told me, I can;t recall why i think it is true!

hmm, I'm not going to repost it, but I'd leave the room. --"

I don't really believe the second story, but . . .
