A short written biography of the woman that appears with the picture uses the word "queer." The objecting parents say it introduces an adult subject—sexuality—they don't think is appropriate for younger students.<br /><br />The school’s principal, BJ Blake, says the display is supposed to expose students to pictures of people of mixed racial and ethnic backgrounds, like many of the students. Blake says she's not teaching kids about sex.<br /><br />“When we talk about the photo, it's going to be only in the area of respect. And if you see that word, that word is never to be used to hurt, that word is never to be used to label, that word is never to be used to discriminate or harm anybody,” Blake said.<br /><br />Some parents have written letters to the school. They say their children ask questions and they don't think a person can use the word “queer” in reference to a transgendered person, without talking about sex. Those parents think they are the ones who should bring that discussion up with their own children when they think their children are old enough to understand.<br />But other parents don't have a problem with the photo. They think personal bias is the problem.<br /><br />Clark Barry, the parent of a first-grader, says parents like him have “concern for the innocence of their children. Are they ready for these discussions yet?

Presenter will also give an introduction and lead a release ritual at the end of the workshop<br />For more information, please call 654-0424 <br /><br />This is a free workshop that has been of great benefit in the past when it was scheduled at various venues.<br /><br />Information on the Conference<br />Beyond Patriarchy 2009 Vision Statement<br />Beyond Patriarchy is a gathering intended to provide information, support, and healing surrounding all forms of oppression through a radical and feminist perspective. Patriarchy is a system of domination which privileges masculinity and enforces strict, exclusive, and unequal gender roles, and which interlocks with racism, homophobia, transphobia, ablism, xenophobia, and all other forms of oppression. Patriarchy affects people of all genders in our interpersonal relationships and everyday lives. As a community, we must work to see beyond dualities, dismantle hierarchies, and engage in multi-issue organizing that creates radical and liberating change for all of us.<br />Beyond Patriarchy 2009 will:<br />(1) explore the roots and legacies of patriarchy;<br />(2) seek solutions to anti-body, anti-woman, anti-color, anti-queer, and anti-nature systems of violence and entitlement that harm all of us;<br />(3) create a space for healing and growth.<br />Towards those ends, Beyond Patriarchy 2009 will serve as open space:<br />a) to build awareness of issues surrounding the many forms of patriarchy;<br />b) to facilitate inspiration for how our growing communities can organize resistance;<br />c) to squash the dominating theory, generating new insight and dialogue within an ever-growing conversation regarding oppression of womyn, of men, and of people who are gender-variant;<br />d) to take an intersectional approach to anti-oppression politics, thereby building solidarity among movements;<br />e) to examine how our daily lives are affected by patriarchy; and<br />f) wherein all beings come together to heal wounds and build community support.Eugene Lovehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02712815984775938789noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4293378931740841864.post-5096864980719759542009-04-29T18:27:00.000-07:002009-04-29T18:32:05.354-07:00STOP BY THE ECC BEFORE GIRLS ALOUD FRIDAY!8 TO 9 P.M.

It will be the most high-profile appearance by a gay superhero in any book published by the legendary DC Comics. </div><br /><div><br />As her alter-ego, Batwoman, Ms Kane wears knee-high red stiletto boots and a figure-hugging black outfit. Two years ago, she made headlines when it emerged that she was the ex-lover of Renee Montoya, a Gotham City police detective. </div><br /><div><br />Although Kane has enjoyed only fleeting appearances in Batman comics since being "outed", writer Greg Rucka – who is in charge of this summer's run of Detective Comics – said Bruce Wayne's apparent death had provided the perfect opportunity to make her the subject of his prestigious series. </div><br /><div><br />"We have been waiting to unlock her. It's long overdue," he said in an interview with the Comic Book Resources website. "Yes, she's a lesbian. She's also a redhead. It is an element of her character. It is not her character. If people are going to have problems with it, that's their issue. That's certainly not mine." </div><br /><div><br />The news represents a significant cultural landmark for the gay rights movement, and follows a concerted effort by DC Comics to introduce more characters from ethnic and sexual minorities. However, Rucka hopes that the new titles, which are due to be released in June, will not be overshadowed by controversy about Kane's sexuality. </div><br /><div><br />"I think there is going to be some media," he said. "I can't control it. You've got to remember, Wonder Woman got a haircut and that became news. So it will be what it is." </div><br /><div><br />"My job is to write the best book I can, about a character that I think is exceptionally cool, that J.H. Williams [his co-writer and artist] thinks is exceptionally cool, that DC Comics thinks is exceptionally cool and worthy of being the lead player in Detective Comics," he added. "Frankly, she should be judged on her merits." </div><br /><div><br />The last episode of Detective Comics ended with Batman's millionaire alter-ego Bruce Wayne being ejected from a speeding aircraft without his famous cape and face-mask. </div><br /><div><br />He is now presumed dead (although it is an unwritten rule of comics that superheroes can always be reincarnated) and Mr Rucka said future editions will revolve around a selection of potential heirs, including Batwoman, Catwoman and Bruce Wayne's purported son, Damien, fighting to succeed him.</div>Eugene Lovehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02712815984775938789noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4293378931740841864.post-17566167853927839292009-04-05T16:22:00.001-07:002009-04-05T16:23:07.175-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dhJZkaaHbZk/Sdk9UuTdSRI/AAAAAAAAALo/sik-tOU13a8/s1600-h/newqueergrey.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 309px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dhJZkaaHbZk/Sdk9UuTdSRI/AAAAAAAAALo/sik-tOU13a8/s400/newqueergrey.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321351860951271698" border="0" /></a>Eugene Lovehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02712815984775938789noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4293378931740841864.post-4068105729783208882009-04-04T00:12:00.001-07:002009-04-04T00:13:34.644-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhflm4ss9s5XhInafR-r49qkTJS5oi930imjBRASF8_1DIfYVp4e-ohTAEp_jyI656ONWDQjadsi_TITr-EuMpZ76cMRpxxq0-_tiWXDUrX7J5bIQDVnNtT-YGRup7mxHDyx3ktKLaXTCM/s1600-h/may1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 309px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhflm4ss9s5XhInafR-r49qkTJS5oi930imjBRASF8_1DIfYVp4e-ohTAEp_jyI656ONWDQjadsi_TITr-EuMpZ76cMRpxxq0-_tiWXDUrX7J5bIQDVnNtT-YGRup7mxHDyx3ktKLaXTCM/s400/may1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320730924271268658" border="0" /></a>Eugene Lovehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02712815984775938789noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4293378931740841864.post-76853244726775906122009-03-23T20:43:00.000-07:002009-03-23T20:47:20.916-07:00This is what President I Would Be?<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_dhJZkaaHbZk/SchXd3PL8JI/AAAAAAAAALY/tzo6aQZtc-k/s1600-h/cdn.applatform.com.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 132px; height: 123px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_dhJZkaaHbZk/SchXd3PL8JI/AAAAAAAAALY/tzo6aQZtc-k/s400/cdn.applatform.com.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316595530666340498" border="0" /></a>I am not going to delve too much deeper into that which is Facebook Quizzes....<br />William McKinley<br />Very ambitious.<br />Always trying to keep up with the times, without spending too much money.
