Jack Conkling, Kansas Teacher, Writes On Facebook That Being Gay Is 'The Same As Murder'

Jack Conkling, a Prairie Hills Middle School social studies teacher and Buhler High School assistant women's basketball coach in Buhler, Kan., is under fire after equating being gay to being a murderer on his Facebook profile, the Hutchinson News reports.

In his post, Conkling comments on gay marriage, writing that homosexuality "ranks in God's eyes the same as murder, lying, stealing, or cheating."

According to the paper, several of his students who were also his Facebook friends left comments on the post, something that led the school to eventually take notice.

"I wrote what I wrote for my Facebook friends who understand my heart and my intent," Conkling told the Hutchinson News. "I understand that there were some folks who didn't understand my heart, and while that's sad, it is what it is."

While the school district has no Facebook policy for its teachers, Craig Williams, the middle school's principal, said school officials are "looking into it."

In a news release, Kansas Equality Coalition Executive Director Thomas Witt condemned Conkling's public sentiments, saying it isolates students.

"What would Mr. Conkling say to a student who is getting bullied for being gay or lesbian," Witt said in the statement, according to the blog "Gay Star News."

The full text of Conkling's Facebook rant, courtesy of The Advocate:

"All this talk in the news about gay marriage recently has finally driven me to write. Gay marriage is wrong because homosexuality is wrong. The Bible clearly states it is sin. Now I do not claim it to be a sin any worse than other sins. It ranks in God's eyes the same as murder, lying, stealing, or cheating. His standards are perfect and ALL have sinned and fallen short of His glory. Sin is sin and we all deserve hell. Only those who accept Christ as Lord and daily with the help of the Spirit do their best to turn from sin will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. There aren't multiple ways to get to Heaven. There is one. To many this may seem close minded and antagonistic, but it doesn't make it any less true. Folks I am willing to admit that my depravity is just as great as anyone else's, and without Christ I'd be destined for hell, if not for the undeserved grace of God. I'm not condemning gay marriage because I hate gay people. I am doing it because those who embrace it will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven. And I desire that for no one."

As more are embracing social media as a regular method of communication and information sharing, school districts across the country are grappling with how to keep online interactions among students and teachers constructive.

States from Missouri to New York have adopted social media policies that prohibit or restrict communication between students and teachers on social media sites like Facebook -- regulations that have been met with mixed responses.

Greater online exposure has also heightened scrutiny of educators' personal lives and opinions, which sometimes puts those teachers' employment security at risk.

Viki Knox, a special education teacher in New Jersey, was investigated last fall for posting anti-gay comments on Facebook. She reportedly wrote on the site that homosexuality is "a perverted spirit that has existed from the beginning of creation," and a "sin" that "breeds like cancer."

Last fall, Florida teacher Jerry Buell was reassigned after an anti-gay Facebook post that denounced New York's decision to allow same-sex marriage. Buell wrote that he "almost threw up" when he heard the news.

"If they want to call it a union, go ahead," Buell wrote. "But don't insult a man and woman's marriage by throwing it in the same cesspool as same-sex whatever! God will not be mocked. When did this sin become acceptable???"

And in March, Christine Rubino, a teacher in New York, found herself under fire after posting to Facebook inflammatory comments about her students. A day after a Harlem girl drowned at a New York area beach, Rubino suggested that her students should take a beach trip. "I hate their guts," she wrote, according to the New York Post.

Great, and what if another teacher worships Medusa and wants all to be reconciled with Medusa and know her grace and salvation, so the teacher says on facebook in a spirit of love "All Christian students are as bad as rapists, they need to come away from that religion because they will not enter the Kingdom of Medusa otherwise, and I don't wish that for anyone". Would that be ok with you even though not everyone is a member of the Church of Medusa as long as it was said in a spirit of love for all humankind?

The U.S. is one of the few countries in the world that has no state-sanctioned religion. Instead of being proud of this, Christian dominionists want to fundamentally change this.

There is a reason why our nation's founding documents are the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, NOT the Bible, the Koran or the Ten Commandments.

Do you mean one man and one woman? Because the term is also used for polygamist marriages--both in literature (bible, etc.) and in "real" life...

Please clarify your definition of the term and justify its superiority over other definitions.

Not exactly. We have "freedom of speech", but that doesn't mean that one is free from facing any sort of consequences for the things they say. He may try to pass it off as him "having his heart in the right place", but the basic message is that he thinks homosexuals will all go to hell. Adding students to your Facebook profile and then posting a statement like he did is pure stupidity. What a great message for students to see. Hope known of the ones he added happened to be gay. He should have known better.

Quote from you " but the basic message is that he thinks homosexuals will all go to hell."
Quote from the bible.

24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

Wait, this guy places cheating and murder on the same level? A student who copies an answer off another student's test is just as evil as a person who murders someone?

Do you really believe you're changing hearts and minds, much less someone's sexual orientation by doing so?

Because you can't see love through type doll. I wouldn't even being sharing God's truth if I didn't care. It's all about perspective. You have the wrong perspective that is why you can't see it. I think it rather funny how people go searching through people's profiles to check up on them. Why, because you can't handle the truth in what they are saying. LOL

What the heck are you trying to say? I couldn't get much of anything from it, other than the fact that you're a homophobe.

A teacher who doesn't know the difference between being someone and doing something should not be near a classroom. Whether gay or straight, you'd have to commit murder to be a murderer.

And, this is the kind of people that they have teaching the kids in Kansas? Education belongs in the schools. Religious garbage does not belong in the schools. I would not be surprised if Snake Brownback gave this klutz the teacher of the year award for his contributions to the maintenance of counterfeit Christianity in the public schools. Boy am I glad that I moved out of Kansas 6 years ago. We still have grandchildren in Kansas. It is time to start moving them out of the clutches of the fools that govern there presently. We do not want our grandchildren subjected to radical fascist religious nuts.

You know Jesus actually never said anything about homosexuality being wrong. He also said something to the effect that you should listen to only what Jesus said.

I see so now Jesus wrote the old testament too? I think the you could not be more wrong applies to you - in fact he is correct - CHRIST never said anything about this subject - nada - nizt - nothing
