Teaching... in all it's beautiful, chaotic and often insane glory

I cannot complete my assignment because of my beliefs?!?

Whatta... Straight from the "WTF files", here's an article about some kid who got a failing grade because he didn't want to do his assignment that dealt with homosexuality. He refused to do the assignment because he doesn't believe in it, it's against his moral and religious values.

Hey, I never believed in Math, but I sure as hell did my homework!

You know what, I get many students who don't jive with homosexuality, but they have to realize that it is part of today's reality and they will face it one day. I would have given a passing grade to the girl if she would have taken the time to explain to me why she didn't want to do it. But to question the reason behind the assignment is to question whether or not we should accept the lifestyle in our society. And to go down that path would be failure all together.
