  Case: Everything is Gay
Students in Mr. Jones' class have a habit of calling anything with negative gay. Mr. Jones has requested the students find an alternative word but they continue to use it. How can he convince students to not use this word in negative contexts only?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
At this point I believe disciplinary action should be allowed. In this situation it is used to mean offense and that is not something that should be taken lightly. It's just as bad as cursing or using racial slurs and such. I would probably provide a lesson full of words to use instead of that or bring in a guest speaker to educate the kids on perhaps the LGBT community or teach them how offensive language like that is not welcomed anywhere.

Comments: I agree with this solution. It is important that the students understand the connotation of the word they are using and how it is inappropriate.

Comments: I agree with this but I would make sure that I have given them a warning and talked about it with them first to make sure they understand what they are saying. some students may just hear this word on tv or from a parent and not truly understand or know what it means.

Comments: I agree this is inappropriate enough to inform parents and advise administration. This is not tolerated. and exposure is the best tool for helping students understand, so bringing in an advocate from the LGBT community is a good idea.
