Good thinking about how such screening would be activated, but I think a bigot like DeMint would have no qualms about asking people about their sexual activities, orientation, etc. or having these things investigated.

This line of thinking more and more makes we think we need to abandon marriage altogether as a public institution. Another post maybe.

Freedom of religion–any religion you want!–as long as it’s conservative, evangelical Christianity.

Your rights–all of them!–as long as you’re not talking about your right not to be discriminated against by your own government.

Besides, if there were a male teacher who had a child out of wedlock, would we even be having this conversation? If he was raising the kid on his own, the same parents would probably be lionizing him for being such a good dad.

Those are actual problems that would require solving. Solving problems is hard and doesn’t guarantee any one will notice or care. But if you can scream “think of the children!” whilst spreading hate…that seems to be a very effective campaign strategy.
