Tom Humphrey reports::

A House subcommittee voted Tuesday - for the second time and on a more formal basis - to kill state Rep. Stacey Campfield's bill to prohibit teaching about homosexuality in Tennessee schools.

Campfield, R-Knoxville, had protested the voice vote authorized by the subcommittee chairman, Rep. Joe Towns, D-Memphis. House rules say that when a sponsor requests a roll call vote, that request must be honored.

So Campfield's real motive was to get Democrats on the record as "promoting homosexuality in schools."


Heh

I know in my school district they were always trying to get us to be gay, it was actually worth a quarter of our grade in Sexual Orientation class...the grading scale was pretty simple.

A) Home Run
B) Third Base
C) Second Base
D) First Place
F) Struck out
