Subject: SA 266:  POLL ON UTAH LESBIAN TEACHER

Aloha awakea kakou.

The following "head's-up" comes to us from newly transplanted Aussie, Dana,
who is residing in Po`ipu . . . .




MSNBC is taking another poll because of a lesbian teacher who got fired in
Utah for being gay. 

http://www.msnbc.com/news/118995.asp

The questions are:

Would you object to your child being taught by a gay teacher? 
[so far 88% no]

and

Would you object if you're child's teacher were gay, but never discussed it
with parents, students or other teachers?

But what does 'no' mean here? Does it mean It's okay as long as the teacher
is gagged, or It's not okay if the teacher is gagged?  Be careful how you
answer this one! You can address 'feedback' to 'opinion' at the site.
