Religiously inspired bullying legalized in Michigan

[Patroklos]

That fact is irrelevant to this bill, which in no way allows bullying of any type to continue.

Why wasn't I informed they added Q?

in ten years, who knows how many letters they'll have.

Better watch 'em or they'll steal the whole alphabet.

And why is it considered acceptable for straight people to flaunt their sexuality?

 

[kristopherb]

OOOOoooo.... does this mean I can mock/bully my Muslim/Christian classmates and call their religion ***** and still get away with it because I'm an atheist, Oh wait they will change it so atheists can't abuse it, Welcome to Saudi States of America .

Atheists don't have sincere beliefs, presumably.

That fact is irrelevant to this bill, which in no way allows bullying of any type to continue.

So why is it written to read like this: "Bullying is not okay UNLESS _____" ?

 

[useless]

Bullying is okay if you're religious and hate gays.

We call them whore. Just them reading to our kids is a case of national news.

What do you mean? Yes it does. It allows bullying for religious reasons.

Pretend your a Muslim or a Buddhist. Problem solved!

It says/does no such thing as I already explained at length. I suggest each of you read the thread.

The end result is the same, "Moral reasons" can be religion-based ones as well.

The true gay agenda has been discovered!

@Patroklos I agree with useless in this instance.

Seriously, the wording is a get out clause, homophobic bullies can merely say "Oh but I believe homosexuality is wrong, it's a moral belief, that I got from my religion!" etc.

It's basically allowing homophobia and that's wrong.
