Legislatures in South Carolina have been battling liberal groups over 2 colleges that forced students to read homosexual-themed books.
State House lawmakers cut funds from two public universities, College of Charleston and USC-Upstate, after the colleges forced all students to read gay-themed books. They later restored the funds, but required the colleges to teach the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, the Federalist Papers and studies in American institutions and ideals.
Gov. Nikki Haley went along with the Constitution requirement on Thursday, saying she did not agree with it but kept it in because lawmakers spent so much time on the bill. She said her office “didn’t want to interject ourselves into that.”
“I don’t believe legislators should micromanage our boards,” she said, according to The Associated Press. “They elect board members, so if they want to beat up on them, go for it… but to go in there and micromanage books being read, I think that’s out of our purview.”
The supposed compromise didn’t satisfy the schools’ defenders.
The National Coalition Against Censorship, ACLU of South Carolina and other groups said in a statement earlier this week that the new bill is a “symbolic penalty” that is just as troubling as the House’s original proposal.
“It represents unwarranted political interference with academic freedom and undermines the integrity of the higher education system in South Carolina,” the groups said.
The College of Charleston did not respond to a request for comment from FoxNews.com, but the school’s president said when the cuts were first proposed that the school has the right to introduce controversial ideas to students.
The fight arose after the schools required some students to read novels with gay themes.
The College of Charleston’s program selects one book a year for the entire campus to read, which this year was Alison Bechdel’s “Fun Home,” a memoir about the author growing up as a lesbian in rural Pennsylvania. USC-Upstate’s program has first-year writing students all read the same book, which this year was “Out Loud: The Best of Rainbow Radio,” a compilation of stories shared on South Carolina’s first radio station for gays and lesbians.
Why is it taking so long to teach real American History?
Force it !!!
Out the Teachers that won’t.
Why can you not just teach the history that made this country what it is……Our students are being dummied down by our government, and for what, so another country can come and take us over because we lack the education to make common sense decisions based on past events……DUH……..
Stupid ass liberals dont want it taught in school because these retards dont want anybody or anything to go against their agenda which makes about as much sense as obama being president. Absolutely none. Youd think after plainly seeing that everyghing they preach is futile in the real world , that they would shut up. But then again they did vote that moron obama in, so theyre obviously not that intelligent anyway.
Anyone who opposes teaching the constitution should be exiled.
WHICH THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN TEACHING ALL ALONG DUH?
I had read they were replacing some classes with the Constitution, Bill of Rights and Federalists Papers – so this is why. Good for them all should do this.
Liking that.
HI good evening! Updated!
Unfortunately … things just got worse!
I keep waking up with heart arrhythmia. Today (16/06/14), and agreed with cardiac arrhythmia, woke up with very sore throat because of the toxic odors that put these criminals overnight. Until when? Until when? Even when things continued this way? Even when these billionaires Companies, and the Government, in their spheres, continued selling my death without anyone, not even the International Authorities do anything? As I have been saying, my life has become a very “valuable”, and many millions mine. I’m sure the Government spineless in their spheres are all millionaires because of all these many heinous crimes being committed against my life since the year 2009. Not for nothing we heard from Listeners criminals, they had given ten (10) million dollars to the Minister, five (5) million dollars to UN Director-Brazil, two (2) million dollars, the one and the other … No wonder they said that the UN had accepted money, and then heard again, which then would have to return one hundred (100) million dollars, why else International Organ had discovered the truth about the bribes. [Will hear it, but two weeks; but it seems they did not return the money, or even that the bribe doubled the values of dirty money, because the crimes are still happening the same way as before, Allais so, but intense, as if they would just take my life , what actually is happening]. If perhaps it did not do, because the UN would be here since the year 2013, and things hitherto only worsened, and the crimes continue vehemently, which indeed are still being practiced?
It is true that these days, I have heard of my Listeners who still have time to help me. This has left me yet, but angry and stressed about the situation. Because, while they argue that the time helping me, others continue taking my life with toxic odors, I continue waking up with heart arrhythmia, and disease continue to progress, and the results of my tests are still rigged, as the result of endoscopy exam, and test results Biopsy they recently fradaram. Moreover, they are putting dangerous products into my food, and even in the water I drink to harm yet, but my health. Beyond that, they continue to threaten to take my life. This time they are saying it will take tomorrow (06/17/2014). But even when I have to experience this situation!
Another thing I would like to know, is that they stole a duplicate of a prescription of mine, Dr. Ramon S. Lake had prescribed me. In the recipe, he had prescribed two boxes of Amitril, which is a relaxation for the nevi, and Omeprasol, which serves to prevent gastric juices.
Maybe they are looking for proof that I am vain escrisofenico to the World, which in fact, I’m not. Because, if it were, they would already have me retired long ago, or perhaps someone has heard that a escrisofenico, which claims that there is a gang that swindled twenty results of HIV tests, but four (4) results Endoscopy examination, two (2) results of examinations of Abdominal Ultrasound, and but a result of examination of biopsy, and that but two (2) years this same gang was putting poisonous snakes in your house, and but three (3) years and means, this same gang was putting toxic odors inside your home to kill you … and there but two years, was trying to fool you with women who are carriers of the HIV virus, and that was receiving sick pay for Social Security but there twenty-three (23) months, and even after moving a process (paragraph 4102-07.2013.4.01.3311) since the year 2013 in the Federal Court turns to sickness in retirement, and even after having a medical report saying that I am currently unable to perform my work activities Permanently, Mr. Judge, Dr. Victor Cretella Silva Passos, that the judgment so that, Social Security, repay the sickness, which was never denied me, and there was no need to transform the sickness in Retirement … And even after all these claims, and all of these situations, it is not already retired? This is very strange, no? Maybe it was, if they had not yet retired because I know that if I retire, I would get the time of the Company, and would afford to go to the United States proves everything I’ve been reporting for a long time, and all truths would obviously discoveries …
They are involved … (Seventh Day Adventist Church), at least 80% …
And the role of … Printed in? I cheer and hope to be the best!
President Barack Obama …, I really need your help!
I dreamed of you last night! Summary dream: Mr. After doubting the complaints I’ve been doing, Mr. President Barack Obama, had taken me to the United States and had discovered all fraud, all examinations and I was finally fighting for his life! Please help me!
Note: All of these heinous crimes have happened and are happening in my life, just because an ex-girlfriend of mine twelve (12) years ago, put the HIV virus in Judges, Prosecutors, Lawyers; and these put in Judges, Promoters, Lawyers, and others I could cite many more … Names. But I have no evidence [as a single person could have evidence against the public authorities, and Magistrates]? The situation is that companies and others committed and remain committed many heinous crimes against my life, and Justice (Judge) and Attorney (Prosecutor) and others do not want me to give cause why they were themselves defrauded the results of my exams .. . Condition …
May God continue to bless all.
A hug,
Alex Sousa Gomes.
