In Efforts to End Bullying, Some See Aganda

The news post I read was about how gay and lesbian students are often bullied by kids at their school.But in some efforts to teach children to accept those who are homosexual caused madd wars in some communities. Many parents and religious critics agree that they want their kids to stop being bullied. In one school to try to prevent bullying in the future the teachers are teaching the 1st graders that "human beings can love people of the same gender." Some parents did not want their kids being taught this.


In my opinion I think that unless school officials got the parents permission to teach their kids what they are already being taught they shouldnt teach them that. Some parents dont belive that people of the same gender can love each other. So if people who arent even the children parents teaching the kids this can be a problem. I also think there should be somthing done about harrasment over homosexuality, because some kids cant take the fact that everyday when they wake up there is always gonna be that one person to bully them because they are gay or homo. If somthing doesnt get done about this it can cause alot of tention between people of the U.S. That is somthing we do not need.

There have been studies and imformation given based on the U.S health care medicare drug spending and wrong precriptions for elderly people. Says the reseachers at the " University of Pittsburgh " Graduate school of Public Health. They put as an example, high-risk drugs were prescribed to 44% of medicare patient in Alexandria,La.,compared with only 11% in Bronx,N.Y. Something that is VERY SUSPICIOUS....is that reseachers found out that different regions where medicare patients was were most likely to get prescriptions for harmful and " high-rick" drugs.

That makes me scared for my grandmother. how about if " god forbid" my grandmother gets hit and needs to be prescripted drug! what would happen to her?
