I do however think the teacher might have thought that the child had used the word "gay" in a different (non-homosexual) context. Like, the teachers are gay. Or..My friend is a gay-wad. Or this computer is gay. And maybe that's why she told him not to use that word again. I mean, I tend to use gay in a derogatory manner, (i gave u a few examples above), and it is in fact used as a bad word. Something close to "sucks", but maybe a little worse. After thinking more about it, I think that's what the story really is. The teacher misunderstood the child. And the ACLU misunderstood the teacher.
I think it's an overreaction on the ACLU's part to have the school apologize to his MOTHER.
