Amendment Targets Gay Marriage in Massachusetts

News:

This week, Massachusetts lawmakers will consider a constitutional amendment intended to roll back the state’s law, unique in the country, which allows same-sex couples to wed. The initiative has been championed by Republican governor Mitt Romney, said to considering a presidential bid, and several of the state’s high-ranking Catholic officials. The bishops have rejected criticism of the amendment as discriminatory, saying same-sex couples are suffering from “an exaggerated sense of entitlement” in believing they deserve the same rights as other American citizens. 165 prominent business and civic leaders, including the mayor of Boston, have taken out an ad in Boston papers urging the state legislature to reject the amendment.

Colorado huh??? I was out

Colorado huh??? I was out there beginning a school psychology program at UNC...during which we had some great debates about NCLB and how it effects public schools (such as those poorer districts in Greeley). I ended up not finishing the school psych program (although I'm back in school in a different area now) because you can see where all of the money is going to and where the priorities lie. As a school psychologist, you may be the most underutilized tool in the entire building/district...having to test all day long because you have to "justify" getting kids help - it was so damn ridiculous.

- In such a polar atmosphere, radical conservatism must be countered with radical liberalism. I will no longer bow and ignore ignorance out of courtesy. I'm pissed -
