The perversion of homophobia and anti-gay hate at times seems to know no boundaries. Now, out of Georgia comes a story of a high school teacher, Randolph Forde (pictured at left) who allegedly put out a hit to have a gay student killed. The anti-gay poison preached weekly from pulpits and disseminated daily by the professional Christian organization is the real cause behind this type of disgusting mindset. Words DO have meaning and DO have consequences. Be it the National Organization for Marriage, Family Research Council, or some other parasite like "family values" organization that preys on the ignorant (or Apostles Lutheran Church in Chesapeake, Virginia), the message taken as a whole is that gays are evil and deserved whatever befalls them. How these folks look in the mirror and claim to be Christian is mind numbing. Here are some highlights from wsbtv.com:*
Randolph Forde, a 10th-grade teacher at Mundy’s Mill High School in Clayton County, is accused of trying to persuade another student to kill a 16-year-old boy. Forde was charged after, officers said, he held up a piece of paper with the alleged victim’s name on it saying he had a hit on him. The student’s mother said her son came home frightened when he found out.

“He says, ‘Ma, you’re not going to believe this but Mr. Forde offered another student money to kill me,’” said mother Marcia Killebrew. Killebrew told Channel 2 Action News reporter Tom Jones that she was shocked when her 16-year-old son told her his substitute math teacher at Mundy’s Mill High School was trying to hire a hit man to kill him.

Killebrew’s attorney said the incident began when Forde called the student out of the classroom one day. “(Forde) asked him if he was gay,” said attorney Terrance Madden. Madden said the student became angry at the suggestion and the next day the two had a verbal altercation.

Weeks later, police said, Forde got a Mundy’s Mill student off a school bus and told him he had a hit on someone and needed him to take care of it. Officers said the student asked who it was and Forde said he would let him know. “The teacher held a piece of paper up with the victim’s name on it,” said Otis Willis III of the Clayton County Police Department.

Forde was arrested and faces making terroristic threats charges. He could lose his job. Killebrew’s attorney said the student reported Forde’s questions about his sexuality and the altercation at the time they occurred but Forde remained in the classroom. “Something should have been done at that time,” said Madden.

It also sounds like another case where school officials simply closed their eyes to anti-gay bullying by a faculty member.
