1. Why are his private comments under scrutiny?
His private comments reflected an all too serious prejudice about a group of people. As a school administrator he is supposed to be accepting of all students. His comments on facebook were very out of line.
2. As a christian, should we bad mouth the gay and lesbian commnunity?
Christians are to be understanding of all people. We are to attempt to bring them to the Lord. Homosexuality, though, is a sin, and we must be careful about allowing people with sinful lifestyles into our lives, as they may cause us and others to stumble in our christian walk.

3. According to the bible, what should be our response? Use Old and New Testament passages.
In Leviticus 18 it is quite prevelant that homosexuality is a sin. Although in corinthians 6 we see that it does not condemn that person for they can find forgiveness in Jesus Christ. Homosexuality is a sinful lifestyle that requires repentance.
4. Why as an educator is this person under more scrutiny
Educators are under more scutiny because thay instruct a wide variety of students. These educators must be at least tolerant of all of their students lifestyle choices. Because the students should not be oppressed simply because they are homosexuals.
