I am not suprised by the actions of this 5th grade school teacher, due to the prehistoric state of mind of many ohioans.I am not suprised that the Teacher has not apologized to the child and his parents. The Teacher obviously feels that  he/she did not do anything wrong . Ridiculous.

Ohio University's decision this week to allow men and women to live in the same dorm rooms starting next fall as part of a yearlong experiment drew support and criticism from the Cincinnati area on Thursday.

Student activists have been pushing for "gender-neutral" housing since the start of the school year as a way to help gay and transgender students feel more comfortable living on campus.

Housing officials at the Athens campus had been independently studying the issue since the summer as a way to allow all students - gay, bisexual or straight - to pick their most-compatible roommates.

OU President Roderick J. McDavis approved the test program Tuesday, and campus leaders announced it last night at a Student Senate meeting.

How will this change living experiences in dorms? I’m sure many questions have been raised about this topics such as will students have options on whether they able to live someone of the same sex or opposite. ? Will students be sent their roommates preferences and sex by email before move in day? I think this is a great idea when it comes to individuals that are either LGQBT, but heterosexual and parents are going to cause an uproar. People have to realize this is not 1600's, an individual is an individual and their sexual preference should reflect your judgment of who they are. Parents do not want anyone judging their child if they have disability, one of their eyes is smaller than the other or crossed, so why is it acceptable to judge someone by their sexual preference. People enjoy casting limitations until it become sensitive to their situation. Many may feel that imposing this on college students during their freshmen year is wrong, but this is the world we live in and college is the real world, this change will be an eye-opener. SO EMBRACE IT.
