Application of warnings or bans will be subject to moderator discretion. Feel free to appeal. If changes to the guidelines are necessary, they will be adjusted.


If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a group that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of any other group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you you will be banned on sight.

Provable means able to provide proof to the moderation, and, if necessary, to the community.

Go through them as a class.

Explain what adultery and coveting mean.

Get angry letters from parents.

Reply “you voted for this so now I have to teach it.”

"Adultery is when you have sex with someone you are not married to." *(Bible's definition)

8yr old: "What is sex?"

Teacher: "Ask your parents."

Other 8 year old: "Is that what dad does with the babysitter?"

Teacher: "Ask your mom."

LOL, no.

This is science class we're talking about. Teach it. In full detail.

I would be surprised if Texas doesn't have a very specific law about sex ed in schools and what can be taught at specific grade levels.

Any state that is christofascist enough to require a display of the Ten Commandments in schools is probably also prudish enough to punish teachers for honest discussions of human sexuality.
