Stupid assignments like that are why I miss high school. That's the chance for a student to take a bullshit assignment, turn it around and throw it right back in their face. I'd write a paper about how I need special rights and nobody better get in my way since I'm a minority. Then go through the paper and exagerate the hell out of it and completely mock the system.

There's an afterschool special or movie about some high school class that had to draw cards which equaled their "social status". Of course the rich whites happened to draw the lowest status cards and were treated like shit by the students with the higher status. Before you know it, the project gets out of control and the low-status students end up vandalizing some shit and start acting like niggers. It proved that race doesn't affect how one acts.

I agree with Pendit, I would use it as an opportunity. Either for a political statement, like demanding special days to celebrate me. And of course demanding everyone else on the planet change their ways for me, one person. While I refuse to change at all.

Or for some good comedy. Like it was amazing how many ladies shoe stores they had on the moon, but all of the shoes were too big!

LOL! Yes, it would provide a rich vein of funny observations. But trouble is, the teacher would no doubt quietly and discretely bury it, and then take the student aside for "counselling". School teachers are, one and all, puppets of the State. And the State is a puppet of the enemy.

The only solution is a viable, credible, alternative news media. Everything waits upon that.

There's no air on the moon. Or water. Just craters, bumps, and tons of dust. How would these queers survive?

The premise of a moon populated solely by homosexuals is absurd.

Of course it is, but when did reality ever get in the way of the State's agenda? I suppose the students were meant to assume some kind of sealed habitat on the moon. It's not the ridiculous premise of queers on the moon that caused the problem. It was the fact that a normal kid was penalised for refusing to imagine herself in such a situation.

I've just read an article in our local paper about a 14 year old girl who was failed because she refused to do an assignment in which the class was asked to "imagine what it would be like to be a heterosexual on the moon, if the moon was populated by homos. How would she cope? How would she feel, being in the minority, etc.?"

The moon couldn't be populated by homosexuals. This is because it is in fact biologically impossible to sustain a closed homosexual population.

Well, maybe the word the teacher used was "inhabited". I haven't got the paper in front of me right now.

But, you know, if you try to find any sense in a school assignment about social issues today, you'll be wasting your time. The teacher obviously wasn't too concerned about the students shooting holes in the premise of the assignment. No doubt she knows how much she has already succeeded in stupifying her class, and she believed, probably justifiably, that 99.99% of the class wouldn't even have the sense to query the basic scenario.

But one did do so. And the teacher reacted in the way she has been told to react to anyone who thinks for themselves. She punished her.

That was the point of the post.
