Anytime blackmail is used to force an agenda, equality is not the agenda.

I wouldn't mind the Boys taking Dak.

This is not fighting for anyone's equality. This is a total takeover.

That we live in the USA
despite our problems and different opinions, there in nowhere where freedom is guaranteed.
God bless those serving to protect us.

I'm hoping I did. Look up the definition of the word queer. It fits. Good thing I don't have a daughter. Someone would get very seriously hurt outside a public restroom.

I can only speculate on why they choose not to bake the cake.   Each individual Christian (as well as others), have their own beliefs about a lot of things.   I'm confident that most Christian bakers would have made this cake.   But to these particular folks, it appears that to bake this cake was like a participation in the ceremony, which they consider to be a sin.   To them, they were saving their souls for eternity. 
I'm not asking you to agree with me, or them.    I just wanted you to understand why they did what they did.   It wasn't condoning, or not, the couples lifestyle.  To them, it was much bigger than that.

....and they wonder why they are called queers

So right REB. Everything seems to hinge on gas prices when they sky-rocket, making things more expensive, but when gas prices drop, it has no effect. I brought up th motor oil because I think it is sinful to pay that much for one quart.

I don't blame him. Jim Brown ruined Duane Thomas. Some of you may remember.

I see no one going after any other religions. 
So all the people of all the religions of the world are wrong. Unbelievable.
The people of the left believe that if their son is in a 100 piece marching band and he is the only one out of step that it is the fault of the other 99. Amazing.

What religion does not believe theirs is the right one?

Nope...no one HAS to live by my religion...you don't do you?
Of course if you had your way, Christians would HAVE to participate in activities they don't agree with.
And there is no science in your opinion.

Sir, if you are a white Christian with traditional values, you have no right to be offended.  You can only be the one who offends.  You have been raised with all of the advantages and have done so at the expense of the less fortunate.  Your "privileged" lifestyle has been detrimental to others and prevented them from having a "fair shot" in this world.

Get the brooms ready. Here comes a sweep

I'll be at the game tonight in right field by the bullpen. I'll be the one with the big black beard.

Isn't what Springsteen and others are doing to NC the same thing those folks did that didn't want to bake the cake?

Prepare to be labeled a xenophobe ( and you already are a racist, sexist, and homophobe!!!!!!)  Is this why you cling to your guns and bible?

The student should then get arrested but not a teacher. In the same chapter of Texas law it says that parents can spank a child. It even applies to a person in the place of a parent such as a babysitter or grandparent. That is written into the law exactly like it is for teachers. 
    If a child hits back, there is no such authority under the law. That would be assault.    It is not a hard concept, parents and teachers can use force to discipline, child or students but they cannot retaliate. I have witnessed a parent spank a child and when the child struck the parent back, the child was arrested and convicted in juvenile court.    I understand that people are making statements on what they wish but wishing doesn't always make something legal or illegal. 

I'm doing my part to rid the earth of cow flatulence....I'm eating the cows. Sorry, had to say that line from Ron White. Here come the vegans!
Ok, back to global warming.

Only using your posts to state a point......
Arrests by the police are only accusations. A large percentage of lawful arrests are refused for prosecution by the prosecuting attorney's office (District Attorney, US Attorney, City Attorney). That might be from prosecutorial discretion, lack of evidence, justification of the action under the law. 
For defenses to prosecution to be used, there had to be a technical violation of the law to begin with. For example if a person breaks into your home at night and tries to kill your family and you shoot and kill the intruder, that is Murder under Texas law. Murder says... "A person commits an offense if he intentionally or knowingly causes the death of an individual". That is it. There is not even a section under Chapter 19 Homicide that says you can use self defense. That part of the Penal Code comes in Chapter 9 Justification Excluding Criminal Responsibility. That chapter (and in other parts of the Penal Code) it says that certain otherwise criminal conduct can be justified. An example as with the person breaking into your home, Murder can be justified under 9.32 and 9.42 where it says that deadly force is justified to stop a various assaults, robberies, burglaries, etc. 
So by law, yes you committed Murder and can lawfully be arrested. For  a lawful arrest the police only need probable cause and in this example if you took the life of another person, it is Murder. The DA however would have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you did not have a justification for the killing. The arrest itself if made would not mean that you are guilty and only that a police officer was making a judgment call that probable cause existed.
In the case of a teacher, the came Chapter 9 on Justification says, a teacher can use the force that the teacher believes is necessary to maintain discipline. Did she hit the student? Sure. By law it was Assault or Injury To a Child. Also by the law (just as self defense from a person breaking into your home), there is a law that says such force is criminally justified. It might break school rules, it might seem unnecessary and it might be offensive to some. Those are not criminal laws. 
Were officers legally correct in making such an arrest? Sure, there was probable cause that she hit a person. By law that is all that is needed. An officer does not need to prove a crime happened, if a conviction would likely happen or if the DA would even take charges. The officer only needs to be lawfully concerned with the letter of the law. Merely making such an arrest however does not mean that a crime happened at all or that a prosecution will happen. Like I said above, an arrest is only an accusation by a single officer (unless under a warrant/indictment) and many such arrests are refused by the prosecuting attorneys. 

Maybe she was raised in a bad environment. 

Ran across this and it might help explain (not justify) why the teacher did what she did.  Had this young man been subjected to the pain and humiliation of a piece of wood slapped across his behind when he first started being disruptive, it might have straighten him out.   Suspension?   Lol, that's right in his wheelhouse.   We expect teachers to tolerate rude, and verbally offensive disruptive behavior.  I couldn't!  They must be Saints.
