I think it would be great if this policy was lifted. It would be a good move for America towards equality and acceptance of all types of people.

I have a question. maybe i don't understand exactly but if this "don't ask don't tell" policy is repealed and no longer aloud, what does that mean? Does that mean that gays will be aloud to join and be openly gay? or that they still aren't aloud to join the military but now must be asked if they are gay, and if yes, then aren't able to join the military.

I hope this finally gets repealed. It's unfair and homophobic to not allow gay military personnel to be open about their sexuality and their partners.
And Hayley, I'm pretty sure gay people would still be allowed to join the military (they just wouldn't have to be closeted).

Hayley,
Here's a great link with tons of good info on DADT:

Well at least it's another step towards being constitutional. Remember, "All men are created equal..."

I don't understand what a soldiers sexuality has to do with their ability to fight for our country. I think that their personal life should stay their personal life, and the military should not get involved unless whatever the soldier is doing has a direct negative affect on the military or the country. Sexuality shouldn't have any effect on either.

Hey Andrew,
Couple of things:
1. Your comment is completely irrelevant to the Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy discussion. The blog is not the proper forum to complain about grades, readings, etc.
2. The readings aren't pleasure reading. Please think long and hard about whether or you not you wish you to remain in my class. You ARE NOT REQUIRED to take IB US History. YOU CHOSE to take the class. You only have until Wednesday to drop a class.
If you would like to discuss this further please feel free to email me at mcarlisle@ttsd.k12.or.us

It's about time that DADT gets repealed. If this goes through, I hope that it will help combat some of America's homophobic sentiment.

I really enjoy the depth of conversation that our class has been going into. I enjoy learning about events happening in our country today as well in years past.
