Threats, Coercion, and Bullying at Missouri State
Loading...
Uploaded by TheFIREorg on Jun 9, 2009
This short documentary covers FIREs case at Missouri State University, where social work student Emily Brooker was threatened with expulsion after she refused (as a matter of personal belief) to send a signed letter to the Missouri state legislature in favor of homosexual foster parenting and adoption. This violation resulted not only in a federal lawsuit (which the school settled) but also in an official report that found that a culture of intimidation rife in the schools School of Social Work. For instance, many students and faculty stated a fear of voicing differing opinions from the instructor or colleague, and bullying was used by both students and faculty to characterize specific faculty. The 12-minute documentary features interviews with Brooker, faculty at MSU involved in the case, and Missouri state legislator Jane Cunningham.

@SeanP7195 @SeanP7195 Actually it is becoming more widely acceptable for a single people to adopt. I know cause I have been reading up on it, I am thinking of starting the adoption process once I am done with college and find a stable job.
I even found a website that will help you find somewhere you can adopt as a single parent.

Even if you weren't homophobic, telling people to engage in homosexual behaviour is disgusting for a straight person. Think of how sickening it would be for a gay to have a heterosexual experience. The assignment also ignores the needs of those who are in a committed relationship. Do I really need to paint myself black in order to be "not racist". Forcing people to do sexual acts for an assignment is almost rape.

And since this was about adoption, I must add that I am a single man nearly 40 years old who has no children. Where are the people fighting for me to be able to adopt? I would get laughed at for trying to adopt a child. Would those gays be willing ot fight for my right. They might say yes, but none would show. Being gay is like femism. Their is no end to what they want and will ask for. Give them everything and they want more. Someone has to tell these people no at some point.
