blanket discrimination from deMint surprises

on 94.3 radio this morning, i heard dan moon express... jim deMint's position that it should be illegal (?) for open homosexuals to be teachers in our schools...

now, i most definitely agree that mr. deMint has the right to publicly express his opinion, and i appreciate that he did... since i have actually been considering voting for him...

but, i do NOT agree that homosexuals or heterosexuals or muslims or christians or x-cons, etc. should be legally kept from being hired by a publicly funded government body such as the school system...

a teacher must, first and foremost be a professional... and if he or she is a professional, his or her sexual orientation will never come into the classroom... if it does, then that professional has violated his or her profession and should be reprimanded... if the behavior becomes excessive or continues, only then should he or she be fired...

anything else is blanket discrimination, and should be illegal...
