My grandaughter is taking an improv class in highschool and they were told to pair up and improv like they were married. my grandaughter had to be paid with another girl because there were more girls than boys, and their assignment was a three minute improv pretending to be newlyweds on their wedding day.
what has this country come to when a school makes two girls pretend to be lesbians?

... For the record, they could've acted with one as a guy and one as a girl.
I'm not sure if you'd consider that worse or better...

I know it's just a grammatical goof, but, seeing as how the subject content is "married lesbians", this made my laugh my ass off.
I suppose dancing in physical ed is also horrible when you have more girls than boys?
Shall we all just line dance?
Get a life! This should be copied to RR, it fits there.
It's. Just. A. Game.
You idiot.
It's called acting , FFS. You know, Leonardo didn't actually die on the Titanic, and Keanu can't actually dodge bullets by warping time?
It's called 'acting' you idiot, and knowing how most schools are, one was probably acting as the husband. Lemme guess, you're gonna start whining about the school forcing transgenderism on the girls now?
Erm, if it were that big a deal (which it isn't) couldn't one of the girls pretended to be a boy?
It's improv, people do it all the time. In my high school improv league, we occasionally played against single gender schools, what do you think they did?

what has this country come to when a school makes whites pretend to be interracially-married?
Saw a 10-year-old kid today while I was at the bookstore
He was in the performance arts section. You know with all the singing and prancing and dancing and acting etc
What kind of a world do we live in where little boys are allowed near such homosexual influences like performing arts?
Oh god what if he wants to be an actor?
REPENT!
@ Dale: You never know. Fundies aren't so big on the sex education or birth control... =P
true enough, for all we now she's barely in her 40's :-p
acting , i.e. pretending you're something you're not. I bet they did the same stuff in the 1950's and no one whined about lesbianism.
It's. Called. Acting.
I went to an all girls school. If we weren't willing to occasionally take on a masculine role, then there was no point in doing drama.
And regardless of that, why would it matter if she was acting as a lesbian?
Being married and being a homosexual are two different things, you dimwit. The task was to emulate specific social dynamics attributed to marriage, not act out a sex scene. Stop being such a paranoid idiot.
Calm down, they are just schoolgirls
That's not calming me down any, actually. *sweats*
Oh no, they might have to acknowledge there are different kinds of people in the world.
Yes, clearly there being more girls then boys was a vast left wing conspiracy.
Of course, how do you know your grand daughter isn't already a lesbian?
Trust me, I can say confidently your grandaughter is most definitely not a lesbian (she's bi, but that's for another topic!). She does this legs-behind-the-ears thing that gives me balls-deep access to her shaved love hole, and guzzles cum like a champ.
So, Shakespeare must have been one of the numerous Anti-Christies (sp?) throughout history, seeing as how, during his time, all the females in his plays were portrayed by men.
Edit: Dang it! Ozzie snuck in just ahead of me. Funny how we must have thought the same thing at about the same time. Oh well, great minds and all that.
I suppose next week, you'll be just as outraged when your granddaughter's drama teacher asks her to play dead or pretend like she's shooting someone, right?
Hopefully before then, she'll tell you what "acting" means.
What has this country come to? The ratio of girls to boys in a given school/class is not always 1:1 because there may not be the same number of each enrolled in a school or grade (or if the classes are assigned by ability there may be an over-representation of one sex in a given class that cannot be helped), that's what. Fucking stupid.
When I was in kindergarten, my class had play centers that rotated at set time intervals. Every kid had to experience each center every day, and one of those centers was nothing but Barbie dolls. Naked ones, at that, since the children had long since lost the clothes and accessories.
Was this grooming me to like toys made for girls? Was it an attempt to expose me to the naked human body? Not at all.
This quote isn't just fundie - if it hasn't already been put on CTSTDT, then it belongs there, as it assumes that a simple class project has some hidden agenda that is out to target and corrupt young children. It fails to realize that the only motive here is to expand students' improvisational abilities, not to alter their sexual preferences.
When your granddaughter complains about it, maybe I'll listen. I really doubt she even cared.
Besides which, if actors only played characters who were exactly like themselves, IT WOULDN'T BE ACTING
If you can't pretend to be a lesbian, you're never going to make it as an actor anyway. It's a simple matter of skill.
This also reminded me of a similar scene from Azumanga Daioh.
'improv' is not an English word. 'Improve'? 'Improvise'?
Is this a drama school?
Strange, though, how she can spell 'lesbians'.
“what has this country come to when a school makes two girls pretend to be lesbians?”
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
