There is a growing trend of homosexuality in Dominican schools, according to Education Minister Peter St Jean.
The Minister indicated this while announcing at an official function, that he was reassigning one of the ministry’s key officials to investigate “deviance and homosexuality” in schools.
“The task of investigating and identifying the root causes of deviance and the increasing incidents of homosexuality among our student population,” has been assigned to former Secondary School Principal Simeon Joseph, the minister confirmed.
St Jean’s statement referred to a growing level of crime and violence “that seems to have pervaded our schools”.
Joseph has been tasked with making recommendations “including a practical and achievable work plan to the Ministry of Education and Human Resource Development”.
“Mr Simeon Joseph will be the Ministry’s champion on the issue of crime and violence, and if you want to say, inappropriate behaviors among our youth of school age,” St Jean said.
The education minister’s homosexuality concern appears to have taken many off guard – not much has been said officially about that matter prior to St Jean’s statement on Wednesday.
The violence issue is a well documented one however, through media reports on a number of incidents in which students have attacked and injured teachers at a well known secondary school and at other educational institutions.
Saint Jean’s homosexuality concerns were articulated as he addressed a closing ceremony for 67 French teachers who underwent training over a four-year period organised by the Ministry of Education and Human Resource Development, in collaboration with the Universite des Antilles et de la Guyane, and the Dominica State College.
Dominicans are a bunch of effin hypocrites. Those ignorant fools will always remain backwards like labou on talon. I truly thought that this article was false, however, when I scrolled down to the comments and realized how closed and shallow minded the commenters are, I am left speechless. This is a classic form of bullying to the highest level. My question is where is the task force on rape by adults, adultery by adults, incest, molestation, children out of wedlock? Many of you on here would be found GUILTY. Dominica will never progress with you uneducated shallow mindedness. I am sick and tired of this backward attitude. I am blessed with 3 beautiful children, and if one of them turns out to be gay, I pray to Gid that I am not living in Diminica, a country that I loved so much.
So… u r sayin that instead of stopping wrong… we should add another wrong? doesnt make it right but a very Interesting perception you hold.
I’ve seen this day coming over 5 years ago. Fortunately I was and am a good listener in life so people confided many secrets in me. I BELIEVE along with the moral/social/religious break down the in community a major point that I haven’t seen being touch in the Lesbian homosexuality is due to MEN.
Men in Dominica have mistreated they’re women for years, physically abused, raped, tormented and it goes on. I’ve had over 7 female friends who’ve told men they were raped by a family member from uncles, cousins, family friends and EVEN FATHERS.
I have heard countless woman say they’re finish with men and going for love in comfort in women!
If our men step up, take care of ourselves, PROVIDE, GET A GOOD JOB EDUCATE ourselves, we will be more than appealing for females not to consider homosexuality.
help us Lord. Amen, Alas what happening in DA? Yes I
Oh yea….
They should deport all homosexual men to bird island immediately!
They should give all lesbain video camera to film their actions so we can see and learn how to stay away from it. They should also give them lesbian a financial incentive like doubling their salary to cooperate in this educational drive.
Why don’t you start leading the way to bird island DL brother?
hahahahaha boy u guys not e zee
Here are a few possible reasons for the increase in homosexuality in local schools:
1. Students’ unmitigated access to online pornography featuring both heterosexual anal sex and male homosexuality.
2. Parents who are too caught up with their individual agendas and career goals to raise kids by the high standards we were raised only a generation or two earlier.
3. Loss of our Christian values and a growing irrelevance of the Bible in today’s society.
It will take a cultural change, a cataclysmic paradigm shift, of sacrificial proportion to correct these social issues. Lip service is not enough; we need to act quickly in order to save a generation from moral decay. But how can we win this battle when our kids are being raised on a continuous stream of American television and Internet content? Maybe we can’t win…
Peace!
Interesting… I would like to see the report highlighting results of this investigation done. Just a few observations:
1. What does the laws of Dominica say about HOMOSEXUALITY?
2. Are there plans to reform those laws?
3. Is there a committee within the Ministry of Education charged with the responsibility for this report
4. What is the role of the Ministry of Social Services, Ministry of Legal Affairs, and, the Ministry of Health in this?
5. Has Civil society including the religious (Christians and other religious persuasions) been invited to participate in this process?
6. What really is the underlying reason for this investigation?
7. Was a survey done among students? teachers/staff? parents? others? to determine a need for this investigation?
I will wait to see the outcome when the report is published…
Theres a link to this rubbish on yahoo are you serious? What is wrong with these officials? Try working on illiteracy, violence in schools, national pride, discipline but no Lets focus on homosexuality… I give up
government is responsible for all this gay publicity and marriage.i have gay friends who behave normally but you have some creeps who just have to advertise their donkey habit to show people they gay and to provoke!man will always be man and not a woman.woman will always be woman.no living soul can change that.PENIS and VAGINA!go to hell and back you cannot change what is natural.when you want to breed what do you do?stop forcing people to accept what is unacceptable and branding people as gay haters.if you gay stay in your line.do not convince me it is good.if so legalise marijuana!
My dear friend, have you never heard about sex change? These days a man can look more attractive that the finest woman you’ve seen, WITH a vagina.
we all know only a man and woman can make a child.see animals in de jungle and forest males never seek males and same for females.is mankind dat have their bad ways.any time a man or woman have feelings for their same sex their mind cannot be sound even if they go about other things in their daily life normal.these bad acts confusing children of tomorrow.i not supporting no homo man or woman and will always discriminate against them and their acts cause it just not right.i would blast all homo in space past pluto.
actually you are wrong, ~10% of all mammals exhibit homosexuality behavior. Also, researchers at the University of Utah have shown to alter genes in monkeys that turn them gay. Please educate yourself.
Animals also have sexual tendencies to non-living materials. They also do so with living things. I”m sure you’ve seen a dog hump a fowl already or a dog hump a human leg. It’s natural too?
Humans ought to be smart. We are given dominion over these things so how dare we act or get inspired to act like animals?
There is no such thing as Gay. if it was so natural why don’t we see 2 male animals going at it?? lool…oh boy ppl who claim to be gay ….something went wrong somewhere and this behaviour was nurtured along the way. All the people asking others to leave the “gay” alone and “be open minded” and to ‘accept homosexuality” you have been BRAINWASHED BY TELEVISION!! Hollywood….all movie hv a gay person…tv shows hv to hv gay ppl in it. artists and actors coming out saying they gay…humph open up y’alls eyes …nonsense now. I don’t hate the people I hate the act.
People no longger renounce the devil and all his works and pomps. Satan represents all of the good and worthy things about the human condition. Taking Dominica as and example, chritianity is almost dead. Faith in God has been lost. Men have now turn to evil. There is no law and no constitution. Prostitution, Adultery, Murder, theft,drug dealing etc are taken lightly.
My Question is What happens at the end of this investigation when they’ve discovered Dick, Tom , Peter and the many others are in fact gay ? This is ridulous and a waste of time and money. It shows where this country’s priorities are. I need to see funding for a mordern,well equiped hospital. I need to see a state of the art track and field arena built. I need to hear that guns and violent acts are on the decrease. >>> so these people are stating that determining whether or not its citizens are homosexuals is more important than the issues I stated ? SHAME! SHAME! SHAME!
So ummm with crime and drugs going on a rampage in d/a schools they wanna investigate on homosexuality instead? smh best reasoning i see so far (sarcasm)
DNO thanks a mil for omitting my comments. I will move to CNN – LOL.
God bless you DNO
i smell a calypso on this one.
How long does it take to moderate a comment???
I have a question for you DNO: Do you have a gay Agenda? also I think that the ministry of Education should conduct an Inquiry instead of an investigation and instead of one person there should be two or three.
ADMIN: We have been publishing lots of stories about crime. Does that mean we have a crime agenda?
First of all homosexuality is not natural , and no one was born this way , it is a choice that they all make for what ever the reason , social, economic , whatever the reason . but at the same time there is nothing the minister can do even if they were to find out that hundreds of boys a gay , that’s their civil rights and a personal and private decision that they make . what are they going to do expel them , throw them out of school? this is a private matter and should be left to parents to deal with that , take on bulling and violence ,drugs sale on school compound instead . the boys and young men are doing their thing in private and not hurting anyone, i am not saying i like what they are doing, maybe they a just troubled and have lost their way and hard times are causing them to do that . as i say i don’t believe homosexuality is natural and right , but who am i to decided what people do in their life and st. jean and Simone neither. take the beam out of your eyes first guys. take for example the garbage bin , fertilizer , Isidore and the passport(dual citizenship) , all these things are against the law of the land and what happen to the people who broke it ? nothing , so please give me a break. if my son is gay and st jean and company where to find out , i really wonder what would they do ? for me to take them to court for violating his civil rights. i will end by saying the most we can do is to educated our young boys on morality and about god , starting at the home. then again we have so many immorally people in this country , who are we going to get? i hope that all those priest and pastors pray for them .
Homosexuality is not natural and is a choice? Please, share you sources because all other scientific evidence points towards the fact that you ARE born that way.
Rubbish! Get your facts straight. No one is born gay. The only definition attributed to that is when an individual is born with xxy chromosomes(This is an ERROR(abnormality) in the gene pool therefore its not natural). No one who is xx or xy is born gay. It’s a choice based on circumstance that takes place.
Back to my point below…train the children at home.
I agree with a fair bit of what you’ve said, but to share some clarity.
Humans can be born with hormonal imbalances casing a male to act feminine or a female to act masculine they cannot control. It’s those that hide behind girl friends and lies that are an issue.
Charity begins at home!!!
Based on the comments here the government should
1. train all the teachers
2. legalize homosexuality
3. improve school resources
Result: Trained teachers teaching a bunch of happy and gay children in well equipped schools.
Parents would happily allow their maco sons to
wear school skirt and blouse and their malnom daughters to wear school pants.
Hooray!!!!!!!!!
lol hilarious comment. Love it.
Dominicans suffer from double standard syndrome.
If the government were to legalise homosexuality, that would be immoral, and unchristian and worse thing in the world.
But the minister wants to investigate it.
Our people are so confused. Double standard, things are good when convenient, bad when inconvenient. choops
In my opinion and in many European countries gay people, both male and female are recognised as individuals equal to heterosexual people. Many countries have legislation protecting people from persecution and off the cuff commentary based merely on their sexuality. It is my belief that the laws in these countries are based on the principle that gayness is not learned but innate. Be nice people and remember that every one is a human being and deserves respect
Not. It would be an unnatural act firstly then immoral and unchristian.
The natural remedy of man is what comes first because that’s how God created us firstly. Nature, then the laws of what’s right and wrong and the right path of belief in God or follow of Christ.
so true ‘anonymous’ dominicans do prefer murderers and killers to homosexuals
and that principle sounds more like a paedophile than a homosexual… maybes THATS what should be investigated Nationwide
Why post some thing like this statement which is utterly what ever, and you delete me for saying i am happy where i live, cause where i live Ain’t nobody have time to mine my buisness,you deleted that?
why DNO allow this comment. I am offended by this.
I have no problem with this inquiry but there is a more burning issue for the Minister to address and that should be given priority it is BULLYING AT SCHOOLS. Please please please Mr Minister address ASAP.
The problem begins at home, not school. I know a few young men who are homosexuals and who have confirmed that they have tried to come out of it but they have failed. Speaking with a few of them revealed that they were introduced to it by either a neighbor, a relative who started abusing them or it came about through lack of parental supervision in some instances.
Fathers…those so called “sperm donors” who give women babies and turn their backs on them, play your role….
Mother’s who opt not to invest in their children, save providing meals and clothing and a roof over their heads….play your role.
At the end of the day, the child is better equipped to handle the pressures of “becoming”, “doing” things that are not sociable.
THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM IS THE HOME!! THE FOUNDATION!
Know your kids! Spend time with them! engage them in conversation! Steer them in the right direction, so that they are not left to conform to the whims and fancies of today’s society…..
Here are some thoughts from the Living Word:
Proverbs 22:6
Train UP A CHILD in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
Proverbs 22:15
Foolishness is bound in the heart of A child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.
Proverbs 29:15
The rod and reproof give wisdom: but A CHILD left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.
Amen to Wisdom and Discipline, which fosters GREAT children!
Great advice – apart from the “rod of correction”.
Please don’t beat your children. It only enforces violence as a way of behaviour. If you bring up your children right, they will not need beating. If they do wrong, then work out other, non-violent ways of reprimanding them.
you speak like a foolish woman. “Spare the rod and spoil the child” The rod drives foolishness from the child so don’t spare the rod… use it correctly
I DO NOT CONDONE HOMOSEXUALITY AT ALL BUT HOMOSEXUALITY IS AN ACT WHICH SHOULD BE IS DONE BEHIND CLOSE DOORS.
FOR THOSE WHO HAVE CHOSEN THIS WAY OF LIFE …NONE THE LESS WE CANNOT CHOOSE SOME ONES SEXUAL ORIENTATION …WHETHER A TEACHER OR A CHILD IS A HOMOSEXUAL AS LONG AS THE ACT IS NOT TAKING PLACE AT SCHOOL WELL WHY MIND THE PERSON’S PRIVATE BUSINESS?TEACHERS COME TO TEACH AND STUDENT COME TO LEARN WHAT IS BEING TAUGHT ;NOT TO MIND EACH OTHERS SEX LIFE,WHAT IS THIS ALL ABOUT?IF YOUR CHILDREN DO NOT LIKE HIS TEACHER BECAUSE HE OR SHE THINKS THAT HIS TEACHER IS GAY ,KEEP THEM AT YOUR HOME BECAUSE IT IS NOT ONLY THOSE WITH HOMO ATTITUDE ARE HOMOS ,MARRIED MEN AND WOMEN ARE, SINGLE COUPLES ARE ALSO HOMO ,SOME ARE BI ,ARE WE GOING TO MIND EVERY ONES SEXUAL ORIENTATIONS…LOOK FOR YOUR OWN SOUL AND YOUR CHILDREN’S SOUL BUT REMEMBER WE ALL CHOOSE FINALLY.EVERY ONE SHOULD LIVE THE LIFE THAT THEY WANT WHILE EVERY ONE SHOULD RESPECT EACH OTHERS LIFE….
Mr. ——– —- ——- a principal is a homosexual. This thought is tormenting our students. Get rid of him to give our students especially the male students peace of mind.
maybe you or your brother try something by him already, that’s how you know
@ Sad.. If you are a teacher maybe you are one of the lazy ones, so he is mad with your laziness and therefore you are trying to hurt him for that. Get a grip of yourself,and stop being an idiot! an embarrassment to yourself. What happen you are looking for someone or some people to help you in your smear campaign? LAZY!
Don’t be ridiculous!! What does the headmaster being homosexual have to do with the male students. Stop being so ignorant.
My son hates his principal because it is alleged that the principal is a homosexual.
Well Parent, educate your son to acept the things that he cant change,but to love and be a kind person in life, cause we all fall short of the glory,all sins are nasty, JUDGE NOT ….
And my last comment is,i am so very happy to live in a place where nobody minds my Buisness, and acept me for who i am,I AM BLESSED !!!
Minister get rid of the Homosexual principals first. Then we will fix the students. Unless the roots are destroyed the issue will always remain.
Why do the male students of a particular secondary school take offense to their principal caning them?
Intervention is always necessary.
Homosex and crime are just two of items being looked at among other taboos in ‘our’ society.
Lest we adopt someone else’s society and habbits, we might as well just give up ours and go by their books; defeating the purpose of being independent and autonomous. It’s ‘our’ country!
So why did you not stay with your Fix phone,instead of a Blackberry, you want to have a developed country but not developed habits, and you ain’t no Saint in your society, all sin is sin,is there what you call a clean sin??
The Principal of a School…………..!!!!
so wat??? garbage collector in it, big man in position in it…it’s a common thing!
Minster, give our students the proper leaders and they will not engaged in such awful behaviour. The phrase ‘monkey see monkey do’ is so true in that situation.
@ Suggestion – I respectfully disagree with your comments; if what you are implying is true, how is it that if one child in a family is “gay,” the rest of the siblings are not? Additionally, in a set of twins if one of them is gay, the other half is usually not, so your theory does not hold true.
Principals are supposed to be role models to our students.
DNO stop deleting the comments that really bring out the truth of this topic. The comments that you are allowing are not the essence reflection of the people’s thoughts and emotions.These are soft comments that are protecting the people who are engaging the students in this matter?
Most part of pre shools and primary schools are boys or girls schools. It is in the yungest part of human live that a sexual preference can occur. Later, jung boys have more ” pressure” to come in a “common” sexual way.Young girls are more numerous to continue their friendly relationship and convert them in sexual lesbian behaviour without or having few social regard, but commonly turn to bi sexuality. Anyway if school have something to do in that matter,it is to teach in apropriate age (just after the nature make children man or woman able to procreate) what is sex and how to use it in view to avoid unwanted pregnancy, sexual deseases and Hiv.
Never school and professors can be a fence against natural pulsion of young peopole when parents and church dismiss. Investigate about homosexuality is a nonsense. A lot of things about behaviour of childrens and student have much more priority
Go and check the homosexual’s grades….I bet they higher than the rest. But is them you want to ‘deal’ with?? Ha!! Dominica…yal certainly have your priorities right!
Let’s go….start finding the batty boys in school…..and stone them in roseau….stone them all till they bleed….that yal want? Bible thumpers? I know yal agree with me…let’s go and preach your love for God but no one else. Continue to judge others…..Stone them I say…
Pink Pen you are such an if your child is homosexual would u want that same thing to happen too u? Such a hole.
you are talking ignorant talk. First of all if you were to research and find out why someone is gay or lesbian,you would have some sort of sympathy for them. It is something that happens even in the mothers womb and some of them have no control. Others could be because they are introduced to it. Have we even considered the effect of all the contraceptives that women take that can create a hormone imbalance? Instead of crucifying them be compassionate and kind. they were created in God’s image and likeness.
Hi Tina sometimes is what we do ,we see, when you as a young girl take your given youth to every police man<men, and your time has worn out what is there for you lesbianism, not sympathy, but again no children to follow in your foot steps. We all are given god,s gift of leaving man with woman, woman with man, not the otherway around, and please none of those flimsy excuses. Get your self a man,You will not look so ashamed on Government street when you walk.
trust u too take dat 1 wi simee dat is ur field
Really???
And how would you know?
It is time that these schools concentrate on making sure that the kids can read and write proficiently rather than worrying about their sexual orientation.
Lol homosexuality is a choice. Im a young homosexual. You think its easy? YOU THINK… I wouldnt prefer not getting looked down as i walk down the streets with my lover. Thou shall not judge. Remember that!. There is no reassurance that your new born baby may be straight. That your sister only likes boys. OR That either one of your parents havent been in a homosexual relationship. Dominicans are ignorant and foolish. And I can say that because i am a true Dominica. I do judge. Do Hate. So i know. But i can say! that a Dominican man prefer to sit down with a killer rather than a homosexual man. Now thats stupid
Hey, my respect to you…Im not homosexual but I completely support you as human being. You have your right to choose what and who you like more. You are right homosexuality is not deviation or crime..its your choice and part of your freedom. Don’t mind what dominican society might think: the society is primitive, people’s understanding about freedom and rights are rudimentary and the society is not in position to make any judgement in this regard. So just be happy:)
put God before your own selfish wants!!! what is right is right. it will NEVER be smiled upon.
very interesting….PARENTS TAKE CHARGE AND INTEREST IN YOUR CHILDREN…OTHER PEOPLE CANNOT DO IT FOR YOU….STEP UP!!!!!!!!!
Why not investigate child molestation that have been rampant in Dominica for decades, destroying our young children.
We all know that this has existed since the beginning of time. If you want to file charges against someone for sexual misconduct with a child, so do. Parents have to try to keep their children safe. Unfortunately a lot of the child abuse takes place in the home from family related members. The schools have enough on their plate to try to teach the kids the basics. Many of the children go through the school system and still can’t read and can only spell their name and write numbers.
Poor people and their bible……. god said this and god said that. Ignoring all the good points and being selective in what you practise….. Black nations will remain poor and dumb because people are just to backward to understand simple sentences.
We cannot solve that issue unless we give the students proper role models. Remove all the homosexuals from the schools. PERIOD!
The prinicpal of a certain school is gay and because of his sexual preference the male students do not want him to cane them. The government know about that yet, they have this child molester among the students. Don’t children have rights? Do we as adults really care about them? What kinds of demon mentors are we giving our youth? Some may say that this is the man’s life so he should live it as he pleased. Agreed! But he should have a job where he is working with and among adults like himself and not kids who are looking for role models.
You called him a molester, if you have proof of that why don’t you get the police involved. Just because a teacher is gay does not mean that he is a molester
@ EH EH – Do you have proof that the principal has molested the children in his charge? I hope you know that this is slander and defamation of character. Are you also aware that heterosexuals are more inclined to molest a child than a gay person? Are you a Catholic? if so, I find that you are a hypocrite. No one molests more children than Catholic Priests and this is a fact.
Check the principals first. At a certain school in Roseau whenever the male students wish to insult other male students they tell them about buggery. They insult each other in that manner to show their dislike for their homosexual principal. They cannot tell it to him so they are telling it to each other.
You can trust homosexual behaviors have been in Dominica schools long time. I went school in the 90’s and there were many homosexual behaviors amongst school kids including boys. Please stop the hypocrisy. There’s nothing wrong with being homosexual. There’s something wrong with being a hypocritical, judgemental, deceptive, thieving, cheating and down right dirty low down Dominican! Thanks!
By the way were you one of those individual and how are you doing now
ACtually I still have homosexual thoughts because I’m human. I female and so what nothing wrong with thinking about another woman. I’ve never been in a homosexual relationship. I can tell you in the heterosexual relationships I’ve been in with those whimpy and bastard DA felaz that waste my time I could have jolly well find a good woman. You all are filled with BS and nothing going on in the lower region. It’s well non that Dominican men aren’t only lower than crap but are also severely incompetent in providing simple intimacy to their women. I’m doing great now in a healthy dating relationship with a euro man and you can trust that if I decided to be with a woman I won’t waste my time with ay man. Life is too short to sit there and worry about what people think of you. You all not god!
Robin something is indeed wrong with homosexuality its a condemned lifestyle by God himself
God never walked on this earth and tell me it’s condemn. As soon as he does I will join in the condemnation. Man wrote the bible not god. Show me one book in the bible that states: written by GOD in it. One passage not written or intercepted by some crazy prophet! I bet if you go down the street right now and a jehovahs witness say his a prophet of god and that the earth was about to be destroyed you’d start giggling like he crazy. So then should I believe anything a bunch of men tell me as supposed prophets of god?
@ Lord have mercy – God has condemed a lot of the things we do and we continue to do them, so what’s different amout our sins, vs the sins of a homosexual?
These imbeciles keep making claims, which they cannot validate via reference to a survey carried out by some reputable source. As the Joint Chief of Staff I advise everyone to rubbish the “claims” that the young men in our country are now showing greater homosexual tendencies than before. This high level of fu*#ry will not be tolerated!
-___-‘
simeon is the best man for that job .i think he can deal with that
Stewps !!! Why Peter St. Jean doh go and investigate de boggery himself ….. Stewps !!!
I like do get feeling for woman but have never been with one. Am i a lesbian?
S-DOT alu putting to do that?! PAPAMET!!!
hahahaa s dot..lol i know a fello grammar school person when i see it
Whoooosh! Mouth open….
Ummmm that not making no sense. Cuz what happens when he finds out who’s having gay sex? They gonna jail all the gay kids? Come on son. For dem to be focusing on serious issues to move Dominica forward we have clowns publishing articles about growing homos in high schools?? What is the plan??? Lol they gonna beat the gay out of them? Stupes
Leave Simeon Joseph alone.
He can take the heat. I just wonder why he’d take this job.
seriously? seriously?! they acting as if these children WILLINGLY want to be gay.
Students are fighting each other….and TEACHERS…and School children dealing and smoking weed….We insist on chasing the homosexuals, whom perhaps are some of the more disturbed students unable to come to terms with their identities while struggling with being a teenager? Crime and Violence, hell yea…go after it. But homosexauls? Are they really the biggest threat? Mr Minister get a grip…..and a life, while u’re at it!
So DNO, you gays had to take off all my comments. we know that members of DNO support the gay community and are in fact open gays.
Now delete it again.
Lets face the facts. School children DO have sex. Whether adults want to believe it or not. To be honest. Who cares, if parents don’t want to know where there children are and who they are with that is the parents decision. It shouldn’t matter if some youths are homosexual… the sexual orientation of very few school children should not be a national issue.
bi sexual ladies “LESBIANS” is the best ting to touch the earth, but u see dat Man and poopoo ting dere……….awa wii
LUL. Agreed
I anticipate this to generate over 500 responses, counting mine. But this is just beating a dead horse.
I bet my last dollar that those here who are ready to kill if you say homo/lesbi is wrong will faint if their child/ren come to them and say ma/pa I am gay. Some people, like Obama, just want to be politically correct in an attempt to please others when truly in their hearts they believe differently.
While we are to love all people, we don’t have to love their lifestyles –
This has to be a joke right.
A big joke to be exact.
i wish i could like that comment ten times
Our school children are into buggery and this is not important. It is not a pressing issue such as teacher training.
Who they are buggering or by whom they are buggered is not important. For what they are buggering is not important either.
The high possibility of molestation of our boys is unimportant too.
Wow wow wow.
…until we find out that our 12 year old sons under our own roofs are well into it…
..that HIV is in our homes among our sons and daughters is not important.
…that our 14 year olds might be sniffing cocaine and being buggered to get that coke…
… that our 15 year olds have syphilis and gonorrhea in their backsides and we are unaware…
…ha, ha, ha… not my child…so you think eh???
Continue with the foolish politics…
Continue to float around in our own little world…. best of luck
What are we going to do when we find out our 15-year-old girls are making bum for blackberry phone from Digicel? What are we going to do when our heterosexual daughter comes home pregnant at 16? What are we going to do when our husband brings HPV home to us and gives us cervical cancer? You get my drift right.
thank you rose.positive comment.this is more important than many may think.and its good to find out the answers to your questions
Nothing she said is positive. Its all appealing and appauling negatives. Still true however.
As a medical professional in training, allow me to correct u on teh syphillis and gonorrhea issue. It stays in the bloodstream and not in the backside. But I must say, your comments are very well presented. We MuSt be concerned for our kids.
So it’s straight out of school homosexuals that are robbing and raping people around D’a or perhaps it’s these same homosexual school children that that are shooting, stabbing, murdering and running drugs throughout the nation that this minister feels so fire-up to want to lead a special campaign against it!!
I think I would want my taxes and the nations resources to be directed to more worthy and needing issues.
If you ask me, Mr. Minister, you look like someone with some dark secondary school secrets. Stop being so guilty about any past feelings spend peoples money properly. Concentrate on getting these ‘homosexuals’ a proper education and job prospects and let them and their parents/family deal with their sexuality.
I’ll keep this simple. If we had more fathers being fathers to their sons in Dominica, teaching them right from wrong, especially where sexual morality is concerned, i don’t think we’d be having this problem. I’m not blaming any woman for being a mother to her son, but a woman cannot teach a boy to be a man and teach him certain things that a man should know.
To add insult to injury, they got this guy in the photo representing the ministry on this matter. All i can do is shake my head at these things.
mr joseph reaction in the pic says “meeee?really meeeee?
LMFAO dat I checking dere qui boy, and check his smile hehehe
Maybe you know it all, look at yourself and your family
PUSHING? OMG HOW CAN A HUMAN BEING BE SO NASTY? THAT IN NOT HUMAN
This is pure rubbish! Of all things, you gonna appoint Simeon Joseph to investigate homosexuality in schools?? Isn’t there more constructive things that he could be assigned too??
what is wrong with him may I ask
I beg d people of Dominica to never let no govern ment to force us to loose our pride,dignity,our country,,dats why certain tings don’t happen in Dominica cuz we are god people,,we cannot go down day nasty road.iam labour to d bone but bogar weave to stand against it as a nation,,I hope he knw is d prayer of da people dat hav him there..an anytime homo in our sceen,,I hav to turn an pray against it..
I will continue to say that homosexual conducts are provoked through the desire of the flesh–a sinful habit; it is the seed and fruit of the human senses processed and produced by the carnal mind of man Yes indeed! The activity starts in the mind, whether it is good or bad.
The carnal mind of human beings is an enemy of God, it cannot accept God’s laws, unless this mind goes into it renewal process by the faith of its possessor
There is no remedy for the outgrowing of homosexually and the other sins which human beings commit, if those who claim to be servants of God will not stand firm in faith and to preach the message of healing to mankind–pertaining to the sinful nature, of the flesh–not just homosexuality.
Yes! By the stripes of Jesus Christ we are healed–this healing happens to our imperfect flesh and bones; when we are healed from a sinful nature only then can we enter Life in the Spirit–where we will learn and practice the perfect attitude and conducts which give our God delight.
It does not matter how much we call ourselves “God fearing people” if we are not determined to surrender our lives to God by dying to the commands of the flesh, we are still human beings walking the path to eternal perish. For God is Spirit in Love and Holiness–Jesus tells us that the flesh profits nothing!
In other words Life in the Spirit–there no sin, no sin at all. Brothers and sisters no sin can take you into Life in the Spirit to be in the presence of God Almighty–our creator.
Jesus is waiting for each and every one of us to call to Him for the healing we must have. The man with leprosy said to Him: Lord if you are willing you can make me clean. Jesus said to the man: I am willing be cleansed! And so the man was healed from his sickness.
Everyone has homosexual thoughts. Go do some research. Those who seem to have the biggest issue with homosexual behavior are the ones who are fighting what’s natural to them. wink
Be renewed in the spirit of your mind so that you may know that which is good and acceptable in God’s sight
@lord have mercy I’m totally renewed. I’m not god. God put me on this earth to love everyone and be open. Before I was born he knew who I’d become. He should have never tell peeps to love your neighbor as yourself. That’s what I’m doing until my neighbor step in my backyard and make a mess then I see nothing wrong with loving my neighbor.
Dominica cannot go forward with this backward mentality. People’s sexuality is their business. We need job creation, a modern hospital and lower the crime rate? Children need protection from pedophiles and incestuous parents. These issues are far more detrimental to the country than one’s sexual orientation.
I understand but we are talking about school children here. First and foremost sex should not be their business even worse homo-sex-uality!! Got it? Get it!!?
I don’t think it has to do with “sexual orientation” why is it that it’s “backward” mentality….??? What happens is these children’s own family members molest them…YES IT HAPPENS WITH BOYS….then they go on to do it to someone else…I’ve heard of cases like this…this is BAD!! sexual orientation my foot! I don’t mind being open minded..but some of us want to allow too much to come in tan…humph anyway you have your opinion and I have mine
I hope the minister did not mean what I think he means. “Deviance and homosexuality” are being investigated in our schools. Really?. The minister needs to regain his focus. To believe such rubbish is one concept. To actually write and publish it on DNO is a pure foolishness of the highest degree.
Hello, I’m a tescher and it’s happening at our schools on the island.. It’s hard to believe but it’s true…
You’re a “tescher”? Hardly, since you can’t even spell that word correctly.
Children live what they learn.Break the habbit of
these HOMO outcast NOW.
Genius, how do you explain children of heterosexual couples being gay or a child growing up in a God-fearing household resorting to drug use or a life of violence?
I find D/A have to much of that atm.
We are really allowing these people to destroy Dominica by doing nothing when they PRETEND to try to save it.
SATAN ESCAPE AND HIS EVERY WHERE SO MOTHER AND FATHER CHECK YOUR CHILDREN AND REMEMBER SATAN DESIPLES HAVE MONEY POWER SO IF YOU LOVE YOUR CHILDREN PROTECT THEM FROM THESE TYPE OF PEOPLE THEY ARE THE SAME LIKE THE DUG DEALERS
What DNO fast man i just ask for a chatroom they put that wi ok now put some games like mario and sonic
ADMIN: DNO’s chatroom has been existing from the inception. You were just not looking.
lol admin brutal
hahahahha hahhahahha hahahaha! Yeah I take a real kixs on DNO response boy…. make my night. Some people just nutty!
Peter st. Jean and them got light, this is the only thing I can come up with. These people are tired of taking Dominicans for a ride
I see no increase in HOMO……. activity. Including increase in homo……. and violence is just a means to attempt to get the community to accept gays. I would like to see the evidence that supports what the minister is saying.
Dominicans will not accept GAY rights.
Stop try
It is not accepted by Jews, Christians or Muslims who all come from the same prophets.
Show me a religion that accepts that is practiced in Dominica
Our prime mister is having talks with priest an pastors secretly bout legalizing homo in Dominica,,he and a certain priest in the north get a problem wen d priest was against it ,,d plan is too just legalize it silently so wen peopl find out he will just say we hav to move on it do already
Good point
IF the PM really want to remain in office for the next 10 years ; tell him to try to legalize homosexuallity and see how fast he coming out from that position of pm dere. He’s going to get one hard fall he’ll regret making such a decision. We don’t want no pm to come and put no curse on our blessed nation…. He will definitely have to go.
Homosexuality in schools in Dominica is nothing new, I am over 50 and have experience of other girls constantly trying to molest me in school when I was much younger, and I left home at the age of 16, In 1980 while home on vacation I asked some of those now mature ladies about their behavior in school at such a young age, the same answer kept coming, Growing up I was constantly being abused sexually, and as a child protection officer, believe me! child abuse plays a big part in this behavior.
Of-course there are those who are born this way like it or not, and there is nothing we can do about it.
They need to be careful how they handle this situation by not stigmatizing those who engage in homosexuality. this might lead to more children being abused by both males & females.
Some forms of Judaism and Christianity do accept and support Gay Rights. Reform Jewish synagogues marry same-sex couples as do many Christian churches http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blessing_of_same-sex_unions_in_Christian_churches#Churches_favorable_to_same-sex_marriage.
I believe all of our prophets taught that we should love our neighbor.
I can’t believe all of these people embracing this lifestyle like it is normal. The creator created male and female and they are to procreate. What do you think is going to happen in the future if this ungodly lifestyle continues? Babies will not be born because two males or females cannot bring forth children. If we have to study our ancestral history as a people, we will realize that this kind of lifestyle did stat with us. We have adopted this lifestyle and think it is normal but it really is not.
It seems like we have lost all sense of reasoning along with our divine and spiritual consciousness as a people and we are accepting all ungodly lifestyles which keep us at the bottom as a race of people. We were once a great and mighty people but we have allowed the European’s way of life to control our minds and therefore it is hard to be what we once were.
I really don’t care what your responses are towards my comment
The issue is not about embracing the homsexual lifestyle. It’s about funding a program that does not make sense. Can you honestly say that someone else’s sex life is of importance to you? Live your life and let others live theirs in freedom. As long as they don’t infringe upon your rights, you should not have a problem. At the end of the day, we have to answer to the Creator for our actions so worry about your own salvation.
So now, we blame homosexuality on Europeans. Please get your head out of the sand and remove the hate in your heart quickly. Do you also blame Europeans for all the babies that are born out of wedlock by black men who do not support them? Get a grip!
It is normal to be gay! It’s not like you’re some upstanding citizen are you? Please you dominicans and your higher than though attitude acting all pompous and indignant when your backyards dirtier than your neighbour. God does the judging and that bible was edited and distorted by man (male). The male human spiece who has spend thousands of years creating wars, raping women and children, breaking up families and destroying the earth. People have the right to be happy once they are above the age limit and make the choice freely . Let people be. Go get a broom and start cleaning your yard!
BTW, grandbay have one jay dirty streets to clean start there and don’t forget all those drug dealers all you have ruining young people in your community. ‘European way of life is to control our minds” — hahahha you’re funny given the fact africa had no bibles in those dark ages I wonder how you get this notion of God. From the same white people you talking about. Let’s clean up grandbay!!!
Why would someone who is put in charge of an Education system making such a statement like this. I do not think the Hon Minister Peter St Jean understands his role as Minister of Education, this is very troubling it also shows incompetence on his part in dealing with school violence. This statement to me seems to be based on anecdotal evidence.
r yoou gay
Intelligent people ask better questions that is why they get better answers.
How about no evidence! This is unscientific. The role of the Education Minister is to foster an exceptional learning environment with quality human, physical and technical resources to serve the needs of our future generation.
This rubbish that he wrote is pure stupidity.
absolutely great question. He should be representing all students but instead he chose to single out just the gay ones. When will Dominicans evolve and let people.
I don’t see with you, he is minister of education and homosexuality is getting into schools, he has a right to talk about it. You want to come and talk about it?
And stupid people use general statements to ask for facts, from probabilities that wont exist. Think before you react.
The title of this story is Ole Gay Hunting. Chapter One: We are looking for Gays, not violence.
Violence is everywhere, anywhere. If u want it to stop, wipe out life. Violence and Peace are 2 sides of a coin. Man is stupid. In the peace of the Order he will look for the 1 seed of chaos.
Bellephegor has his hands deep in D/a.
Investigating the root?? Homosexuality?? ASSigned?
Is this article a hoax?
Monitor whoever you are, you must be a genius. I like that cause you so right.
Lol! that’s all I can say to this
Who the hell is advising St. Jean? Or is this his own idea? Its crazy.
You are lumping naturally school boys, BORN THAT WAY with people who attack with knives and slash and maim fellow students and teachers?
Its long time they have homosexual students in our schools and they usually are the best behaved and most studious achievers. They help teacher and they take part in all the creative things that are going on at school and church. They grow up to be among the great contributors to our society.
And St.Jean lumps these guys with knife weilding criminals!!!
What is happening now is just that in this homophobic society they had to keep themselves under cover. Now the boys (and girls) have internet and TV and their BBs and they realise that you can be gay and a good citizen. Gay and proud. And so they coming out.
And the bigger joke is St. Jean made this address in front of Martinique educators where homosexuality is not a criminal offence and French teachers are taught to accept homosexual students as they are. What will the tell their educational officials back home?
St. Jean. I once supported you. But this is a mess.
So are you saying that homosexual students should have homosexual sex ont he school compound? I don’t think the govt is concerned witht he sexual orientation of students but is concerned with the act of having sex on the school compound, whether homosexual or heterosexual….
Ching Chong, your comment doesn’t make any sense at all,
i believe that this was the wrong forum and wrong wording

Hey DNO need a chatroom let’s investigate that instead.
AY AY NASTINESS AT ALL LEVELS.
ONLY thing i agree with the muslems is that erase the homo sickness before it gets worse oh and remember is not man alone that taking it in the exit lol a lot of woman that commenting on DNO taking it there too LOL allu know y’all self’s.
I don’t get it….is he saying the homosexuals are the cause of crime and violence in the schools? Now that is uneducated….
bujai look jugume aint i right …….? My country have a lot of pappy show hom,o sexuality!!! awa boi who agree nuh??
a lot of people that say he should not worry about the ”HOMO” virus that is growing now in the schools are GAY or BI so they dont find it as a problem but in truth it is a big problem. allu saying allu counttry is a god fearing nation so wht ignore this problem, where did you ever hear that god promotes this so for Dominica to remain a godly place it should stop the problem before it gets worse.
You too hypocrite. Do you also want Dominica to follow these verses from the bible? If not, why not? The anti-gay verses are in the same Old Testament. No eating shellfish, no wearing clothes spun from two fabrics, etc.
“A man whose testicles are crushed or whose penis is cut off may never join the assembly of the Lord.”
“These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat.
10 And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you.”
“You shall not breed together two kinds of your cattle; you shall not sow your field with two kinds of seed, nor wear a garment upon you of two kinds of material mixed together.”
“You shall not make any cuts in your body for the dead nor make any tattoo marks on yourselves: I am the Lord.”
I know u happy
You are a total idiot, why should he worry, do you think that anyone can prevent others from being gay?? Its everywhere in the world, even in parts of the world and religions that we’d never expect it to be. Let people be, as long as they don’t impose their believes on me/you. People you people should worry about whats happening in DA like the drugs and killings. Do you really think that most of the people who are affected with the virus in DA are gay? Wake up. And guess what, am not Gay,nor am I Bi its just not our business. God will deal with each of us according to our actions.
some teachers in on that too so check them up to not only the students.If Dominica is a god fearing nation then we cannot allow this to be happening that isnt good for the future of the country. If the young generation taking that as a trend then this is a big problem. as some people say its their business but they dont got kids who do that thats why they give those low points… Idont agree with that, its wrong so it should not be allowed to spread like it is doing right now.
Ah Admin,
All I said is that ‘a picture tell a thousand words.’
And you censure my post for that?
To the Gays in D.A. Be who you are,express your self,be happy, you got one life to live, and to the critics, look at your self in the mirror and ask your self if you are perfect?, and i will answer that, NONE. so that investigation is throughing money away.Investigate Middle age mareid men thats runing around with teenagers.
STOP PRESS!!!!!!!!HOLD ON A MINUTE HERE……..I SAW THIS PIECE ON MARPIN NEWS LAST NIGHT AND THE MINISTER DID MENTION HOMOSEXUALITY AND CRIME AT THE SCHOOLS
AND HE ENDED BY SAYING THAT MR. JOSEPH IS THE MINISTRY’S POINT MAN ON THE ISSUE OF CRIME
I WONDERED THEN AND STILL DO NOW, HOW WILL ONE MAN BE ABLE TO TACKLE SUCH AN ISSUE
ALSO, WHEN ASKED TO COMMENT ON THE STATEMENT OF THE MINISTER, MR. JOSEPH (ACCORDING TO NAZARINE GORDON) SAID HE WOULD NOT COMMENT ON THE MINISTER’S STATEMENT.
LASTLY I AM CURIOUS ABOUT THE LINK BETWEEN THE MINISTERS STATEMENT AND THE CEREMONY AT WHICH IT WAS MADE WHERE CERTIFICATES WERE PRESENTED TO 67 TEACHERS WHO COMPLETED A COURSE IN FRENCH.
The Minister need to concentrate on one or the other, and not link the tow, personally I think crime in our schools should be more of a priority.
We do not want out school becoming like America and English schools.
It seems like Dominicans want to pattern everything on the US but Dominicans must stay true to Dominica and keep it origonal.
If the people of DA want to engage in these things, it is of Mr Stjean’s view furthermore the Minister to make that observation and comment on it even as a citizen of the Commonwealth.
.
This simply makes no sense to me at all. So what does he plan to do when he finds out the number of homos in the schools. Are they planning to build a school for homos only? What is the purpose of the investigation?
But why not put up St Jean picture not he that is Minister of Education noh? mind me wi!
American tv they watching.Our youth are being mislead! Coupled with plenty hardbacks in society taking advantage by giving them things they enchasse for.
DNO,
Wasn’t it the minister who made the statements?? Isn’t Mr.Joseph the person placed to investigate the matter?? So why is it Mr.Joseph’s photo that’s on there and not the minister?? The angle of this story is about the minister’s statement, so put his photo on there. The Story did not start off saying Joseph to head investigation etc??
Post my comment do not delete it.
all the crimes thats going on in dominica you have nothing better to do tan investigate that bull,my question for you minister is what are you going to do after the investigation, throw them out, jail them i mean really? go look for work to do,if you dont know what to do let me give you a few ideas, make sure all children i given equal learning rights, that kids needs are met, make sure that they have equipment necessary to receive a proper education, and help make sure certain public schools are in appropriate environment so that children can learn well, talking non sense shoo
My question is. During their investigation if by any chance they know of any students thats gay in the school what are they gonna do about it? Expell them from school? Hope they no what they are really doing. There are better things than that which needs to be addressed.I cam totally agree with the violence in school.this is going out of hands but the homosexual thing its taking it to far.
I am shocked and stunned!!!
I think its a complete waste of resources.
There seems to be a bigger picture of sexual conduct in schools, be it gay or straight. The schools need to ensure that these types of acts don’t take place on the school premises, mainly because these children are under the age of consent. But it seems that as more of more of the younger population are “coming out” its only now they want to sensationalize the issue and brand it a gay one.
Interestingly no one was put in charge of minimizing crime in school, or training and preparing school children for the adult world of employment (as scarce as it may be). But because its “GAY” well lets rally the troops why dont we.
Ahhh Boy Mr. St. Jean. Is this going to be your pinnacle moment in this election term?
Homosexuality is a choice, there is nothing we can do about it!
But there is something we can do about all the rape and lack of jobs in the country,lets focus on that please!
Ann,, Homosexuality is not a choice, educate your self.
Tch… They need to un-choice their ways, revoke that evil “right” they lay claim to. As to jobs…well, those wont come. Diminishing resources on the planet, means lack of money = Less jobs.
No humane options for rapist. Just torture them, while asking ridiculous questions about nothing, all for the sake of keeping the torture going.
Mr. St. Jean , it is their right to choose. You are breeding homophobic society
MR ST JEAN DID YOU EVEN THINK ABOUT THIS BEFORE APPOINTING AN INDIVIDUAL TO LEAD THIS INVESTIGATION?
I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO KNOW THE QUALIFICATIONS THAT ARE NEEDED BY AN INDIVIDUAL IN ORDER TO EFFECTIVELY LEAD SUCH AN INVESTIGATION. OR IS IT THAT BEING A FORMER PRINCIPAL IS SUFFICIENT.
BRAVO COCO…NOUS FINI BAT
Fellow citizens we are in 2012, matthew 24-29 says that there will be three days of darkness, during which we as citizens of the world have to prepare for, Many sinners will perish, Dec 21st is mentioned as the proposed date, sinners will perish,homosexuals are on the list, cause it is an abomination to God, being born homo is a curse pray to be healed.
For all those who have internet access just type in “3 DAYS OF DARKNESS” see what comes up.
I am a God fearing person but i have this weakness
Have never been with a girl, but does get intense feeling to suck a woman. I am deeply attracted to woman, whenever i see a girl i does look at her shape,bottom,breast and face.If she have a short skirt,worst again!
I have a boyfriend for seven yrs now, i never disclosed that with him.I was never involved with a woman but i have more feelings for them.Sometime i picture the sexy ones naked and wish i could suck their …….
Am i a lesbian? What makes someone a lebian?
I think i should consult bella
Well if you in it THEN you can better address it!!! Oh lawd!!!
Dear Hon. St. Jean,
When is the report due? How much money has been allocated for this project? Is Mr. Joseph the only member contracted to carry out the investigation?
Now it seems to me that there are a myriad of more burning issues that warrant the attention of the Ministry of Education and HRD: 70% of our secondary teachers are untrained while at the Primary level the figure is a whopping 63%. I can clearly overstand the concern with violence in our schools but this issue (non-issue?) of homosexsuality in schools is nothing more than a misnomer. There are soooo maaaany other matters that could be addressed with this money in these hard economic times.
Please let us deal with the REAL issues. How about deciding that by the school year 2014 there will no longer be UNTRAINED teachers in ANY of our schools and that a sustainable developmental path for teachers which clearly defines mechanisms for upward mobility is instituted and salaries reflect the comensurate tasks with which teachers are challenged on a daily basis?
I wish you well.
stupes. no issue is a real issue if you don’t consider it an issue according to your list of issues.
Our societies are suffering from moral decay, yet we fail to agree that attention should be paid to such issues. How can violence in our schools be a non issue? And how can you be so narrow minded to think that proper staffing or whatever it is that you consider the only ‘issues’ to be the only matters that need to be looked into? Untrained teachers is only ONE of the problems among another 500 that exist.
to hell with who untrained…to me an increase of homosexuality in schools r worst that untrained teachers cuz i surely dont know what u mean by “untrained”….name one country dat has all their schools filled with trained teachers…stupes seems like u not seeing the seriousness of this homosexual behavior….no wonder dominica so under populated…too much faggin in the place….bout homosexuality increase in schools is a non issue…
Did I read this correctly? The Minister is “to investigate “deviance and homosexuality” in schools”???? Does the Minister not have more productive work to do with regards the education of our youth? Mais Bondieu…St.Jean is this really the MOST pressing problem facing the young people of Dominica never mind the best use of DA taxpayers’ money??!!
Diversionary tactics my friend to draw attention away from what really matters! Wonder, who is really behind this. Don’t be surprised that soon they will claim it is an “evolutionary” development, the work of the devil and someone/some organisation will be appointed that can provide a cure for this deviant behaviour, for a contracted fee, of course.
PS. Funny, lesbianism was not mentioned.
Lesbianism is the same thing as gay
U did not read properly! according to the newsfeed, it states the minister is assigning former principal to do the investigation
homosexuality is a big big big problem the youths r facing n its the elders dat teaching them such nasty behavior…..yes take di dam tax money n spend it on that cuz i really dont want my 5 year old son exposed to such behavior in school…sorry seems like u all in dat homo thing thats y u all dont see it as an issue
Hey D/ca Finissshhhh
Dominica is a real pappy show..
hahahahaha what is the minister going to investigate? if somebody likes sausages and beans all day long its their business, not the minister business…
Brother St.Jean more computers and teachers in the schools is a better use of time and resources. Hate the sin but not the sinner. Moreover, isn’t this the job of the school principals? This is pure politics and catering to the powerful church voting block………which St.Jean knows a thing or two about.
the people in high places stay away from dno where the people talk, they stay away from the talk shows. they dont drive when the traffic is high and they dont go to the places we go to.
they dont eat where we eat, they dont shop where we shop
they dont know about our problems and they dont care to find out. if they could just listen to our cares then they could do much better at addressing our problems. they dont find out what really is the problem of the day. they just do what the hell they want.
all i know, from inside source, they not listening. so even me, what i am doing here now is useless,
they just dont care
@yakill me si!!!… May just draw to your attention that what you are doing here is not in the least “useless”. I read it; and most likely the Minister Secretary did…so that when she prepares his speech the next time and ask him to read it before she does final typing for him to present to the public as if he know what he talking about he would have an idea as to what the public thinks. She bash the radio stations, and DNO about public opinions but any Minister or public figure that comes and says that they know anything about anything and did not get most of it from the media they are not worth their juice. Trust me. I am a UK minister secretary and the only way they a kept abreast of current affairs …people like me do the research while they are at some meeting or other. They hear something they not sure about and send me a BB or use the ipad and so on…Keep being positive and if DNO is the way to voice your opinion go for it. You’ll be surprised who reads it
Hmm. Interesting point there. Hahahaha. Maggots being led by Maggots. What a farce.
who will guard the guard?
All crime/ unrighteousness is demonically inspired – homosexuality is demon driven. For those of you who are not spiritual will not understand and think its normal but there is a demon responsible for all act of evil. Many homosexuals have testified of their deliverance from demons of homosexuality/ Lesbianism. Once the door is opened, they move in. Even prior to birth so all that scientific explanation is just a hypothesis.
How dare you call yourself by the true name of Dominica. If you represent Dominica, what with all that New Age BS you just wrote, you’re making the island seem like it’s full of mystics with no idea what they’re talking about. Jah!
But seriously, chill out, waitukubuli. Find a demon, bring it to a laboratory to be tested and examined, and THEN write a comment like this. And while you’re at it, prove to me, via a testable scientific theory, why the current scientific theories are “just hypotheses.” (Although you clearly do not know what a hypothesis is, so look up the word, too.)
What you do with your bottom is your business, but homosexuality/lesbianism is just as sinful as fornication, adultery, rape, murder, lying etc. I allow people to express their opinions without getting angry- your anger above clearly indicates that my comment hit home.
Only Christ can deliver you from this lifestyle. He still loves you but the lifestyle is what He died to deliver you from because the “wages of sin is death” – spiritual death as opposed to eternal life. Whether you believe or not does not eradicate this truth.
spoken like a true demon! smh…ofcourse demons exist u idiot…..take it to the lab to test? chupz
Also, I suppose you think that when God ordered the murder of thousands upon thousands in the bible, that God was “demonically inspired.” Or are those murders in the Old Testament not “crime/unrighteousness?”
LOL – did I hit a nerve?
@waitukubull-original – The Bible states none is Perfect, (no human being) only Jesus Our Lord and Saviour. You seem to be the only righteous person on this sinful earth
With that in mind, I guess nothing that you do is deomonically inspired/driven. 
Give me a break.
Repentance is a complete turning away from evil deeds – whether lying, stealing, fornication, adultery, gluttony, homosexuality/lesbianism, etc. It is not staying in it and being comfortable and still expect to go to heaven when one dies.
About being righteous, it is written “I am the righteousness of God in Christ”. Only through the LORD Jesus Christ is one righteous, not of oneself.
When one receives the LORD Jesus Christ that one receives the Holy Spirit of God who leads us into all truth and into doing God’s righteousness. What the world deems right is wrong by God.
WE ARE ALL SAVED BY GRACE, THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS.
I suppose Mr. St. Jean’s grin reflects the intelligence level of his money-wasting “investigation.” What an embarrassment. There are real problems in d/a–pregnant teenagers, youths on the street, violence (which is mentioned but gets less attention in the article than homosexuality), students not interested in school…stupes….Why can’t this man set his priorities straight?
you have the wrong person…but I agree lol
Shame you used Ellen G. White for this comment.
She sure would consider high levels of homosexuality in our schools a major issue. Especially now in these latter days.
Not that I condone homosexuality (because i don’t), but I feel that statutory rape should be more of a prime focus as it is so much more widespread.
**A NEW SPY FOR HOMOSEXUALS & LESBIANS**
WOW!!!
Are we planning to spy on them in the BUSHES OR AT THEIR OWN HOMES…. As long as this students are not having sex in public…..
What exactly will we be investigating?? IS THAT THE NEW ROAD WE WANT TO GO DOWN?
Why don’t we investigate a new plan for jobs in this country that should be the TOP priority!
;;wehh papa
Fada is do they doing it in the school already. You never see the light?
This is ONE FUNNY story!
Homosexuality is not a new thing in Dominica its been there for years just that now they are “comming out”
WAW!!!! So we can’t find money/resources to find out if and why men are raping more children in DA, we can’t find money for more and better hospital facilities, but we have money to see why more kids are gay? What is the long term goal? Are we looking at a plan to facilitate a person that is gay? Did the gay people ask for help? What is the purpose of this exercise?
good questions. this is just politics. they know scans hate gays. so the masses will like the idea. its politicks to keep the uninformed electorate on their side..
nonsense!
And also how does Mr. Joseph qualify for this assignment, I guess he is educational psychologist?
Maybe because whe he was principal at the both schools that he was, the students listened and respected him and his ideas. Things did not happen as they are now.
Too much time and money we have in DA. Are we still complaining about the number of beds at PMH? How about Possie and the other villages? Are their hospital facilities up to date? Why are we spending money on none sense while needed improvements are neglected? Leave the gay people alone. If they not committing crimes and bothering other people, leave them alone. Don’t spend any extra money to get in their business.
Will there be an inquiry and money spent to find out if and why more men are raping kids in DA? That is important..are we tackling that?
Folks the diabolic homosexual agenda is on a desperate psychological campaign to brainwash the susceptible, mind-warped and confused in society into accepting homosexuality. The practice of this absolute abomination and filth is the direct result of people’s own choosing. Hence the agenda is targeting today’s youth with the sole goal of taking control of tomorrow’s future leaders thereby getting them to support and spread the perversion of homosexuality.
Homosexuality is nothing more than downright nastiness!!
u are uninformed and you are the one who has been brain washed!
leave the gays alone. they don’t hurt society. if anything, they teach us how to love and embrass what is different.
you don’t have to belief its right. you just have to be fair. they must be allowed to exist and be who they are or think they are. however we want to phrase it.
@lol – It would be interesting to find out if you would continue your clever manipulation of the ideology of fairness and rights if one day pedophiles and persons who want to go behind animals start using the same arguments as the homosexuals – eg they feel they were born that way; people should stop discriminating against them; it is their right to practice what they want – in an attempt to justify their perverted acts.
As I asked in another posting, where is the line going to be drawn against all these high grade levels of filth if one such as homosexuality is accepted?
How is homosexuality nasty huh. Please tell me why two people that love each other-whether different sex or same sex. You have no right to talk about something you do not know about. She please stop you’re nonsensical talking. Because gays are everywhere you are just too blind to see that. Thats all I have to say
@Jazz – Go read a book. You wouldn’t know what is bold face nastiness even if a bucket load of it was thrown in your face.
You say homosexuals are everywhere…Umm what’s your point? The devil and his demons are all over the world also. Therefore should we also serve the devil and his empire and carry out his wishes?
so wats wrong in that? homo’s all over the place in schools,work places, homes1 its everywhere so wats da big dealllllll?????????? get over it1 REALLYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
There are a lot more other things in dominica that should be investigated. this is a waste of government resources. How about jobs for our children when they leave college?
If you’re investigating gay activity and saying that it is inappropriate in school, heterosexual activity should also be looked at. A lot of boys and girls having sex at school and getting pregnant. So, stop being biased and discriminatory.
This is best comment I have read so far. Plus the need to provide programs for prevention of pregnacy and also help when they have a child at a young age. All the Government doing is wasting money.That will never stop Homosexual
Acts of heterosexual activities that see young girls becoming pregnant in high schooln is about 1000% higher than acts of homosexuality, yet homosexuality is what the minister of education decided to focus on. Never mind all the old hardback men messing with young school-age girls for top-up. Never mind pregancy in high school will likley mean the end of a girl’s education.
I am so fed up of people in positions of authority who lose their way and direct their attention to the wrong issues.
Mr. Minister, this is not about your personal likes or dislikes, this is about addressing the most important issues affecting our people.
yep. even the ministers interfering with the young ones so how do u think they going to address the problem? by diverting attention of course.
i need direction but my government needs a truck load of it
oh my!we need to put boosts on he ground to tackle that wrong!We need to fast and pray
ANONYMOUS,, Are you a SAINT? please go fast and pray for your self. SAVE YOU !!!
OH I will do that FACEUP!people like you that really need to pray because you are the ones that encouraging sin!Homosexuality is SIN!IT IS WRONG!
STEALING IS WRONG,RAPE IS WRONG AND SO IS HOMOSEXUALITY!
i know i am not a SAINT,same as you.All have sin and come short of the glory of God but I am not going to encourage homosexuality!that is pure nastiness and worst of all it is SIN!sO I see my child stealing I just have to accept!u insane!
did you notice who is guarding the cheese?
lol.. the rat?
LOL
What are you insinuating? Remember, when you point one finger at someone, take a look at the numbers that are pointed towards you.
ooh how i love this comment
Mr. Minister
What are we doing? Mr. Joseph was selected to do that investigation and advise. Are we serious in this place.
What is wrong with Mr. Joseph doing the job?
What is right with Mr. Joseph doing the job?
stupessssssssssssssssss
A lot is wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Investigate what? Homosexuality is not a crime, it’s a lifestyle. No one condones these acts, but allocating funds to investigate homosexuality is simply unnecessary. There are more pressing issues to focus on, such as the conditions under which teachers teach in our Schools.
agree. the minister himself needs some homo education. Waist of money. there is a drug issue in the schools. was that mentioned?
there is no difference now with homes than before. its just that they are brave theses days and don’t care who knows. in pass generations if was a silent relationship.
to investigate homosexuality in schools? you guys are jokers.
what about abuse in schools? teenage pregnancy?
Homosexuality is not a choice!
You’re right. Homosexuality is not a crime at all. But it is a lifestyle which cannot be chosen but comes naturally.
You all are a going to accept the number 666 on your foreheads and in the palm of your hands just as you are accepting homosexuality now.
Correction: Homosexual acts are indeed a crime under the laws of the Commonwealth of Dominica.
yes it is. It is called buggery
I am sure there were other persons named to head the committee. What is going on in our sweet Dominica. How are people selected to head committees, bodie oh! People just getting position because they beg for it or they think they expert on everything. Lord save our country.
Homosexuality at secondary schools is nothing new, the only difference is that it appears that more students are “coming out.” Secondly, Barack Obama is looked upon as a role model for many males of African descent thus his endorsement of same sex marriage, gay people feel they have some hope.
The Muslims expects the world to get increasingly worse because the prophet Muhammad peace be upon him said it would be so terrible that people would be even having sex on the street. The man with some level of fear of Allah will only be able to say to him, “Please get a bedroom to do this.”
In conclusion, no matter how ‘religious’ we are there is nothing we can do anymore. Allah calls me firstly to save myself and my family from hell fire. I leave these affairs to Allah, all we can do is to convey the message of Islam, it’s up to people.
Why dont you take your Muslim BS somewhere else!
President Obama made the coment based on the Constitution Of the United States not the bible. He is the President of the people, not just Christians.
Religion has a strange way of robbing people of their mind to think.Do you really think that the message you have just conveyed based on your religious teachings is a solution to the crisis,what a shallow message. I will leave you with this. The man who does not do his own thinking is a slave, and is a traitor to himself and to his fellow-men.
U wanna know the root problem of this ? When a mom or dad tells a girl she can’t talk to a boy, what do u expect huh??? On the other side, if a mom does tell a girl she cant talk to a boy, she gonna do it anyways, they just dont know!!
Please my mother was old school and told me not to play or talk to boys and I still not gay. I attended CHS with hundreds of girls, bathed in river and sea all summer long with my friends, and I still not gay sakway toneh. Is the hormones in the GMO foods that have them or what? We always had gay and lesbians aka Marco & malnom in Dominica, but what is with this new wave of everybody gay, bi,confused, lesbo. Give me a damn break this is just a further erosion of values on society. If you are what you are, you need no defense or explanation. I am black and that is obivious, why gays need to much attention?It’s because they know it’s unnatural and by planting the idea in younger and younger people’s head they will make this filthy lifestyle more main stream and harass other people who are not in support of it. I am sick and fed up of this gay agenda steadily being imposed on people.
The best person for this illustrious position indeed!!!
and why is that so?
The bible says that as it was in the days of Lot so shall be in the last days. People we are in the last days, which means that any time from now the second coming of Christ can happen. (Are you ready to meet Jesus when he comes? Are you sure you are going to heaven when you die). That portion of scripture has come to pass. Now in Lot’s time the homos were so desperate they were even breaking down Lot’s door to get to the angels that God sent to deliver whosoever was righteous in Sodom at that time. Lot even offered them his daughters. Dominicans there is a depth to this abomination, the surface is to laugh at their jokes, mingle with them, but further down that depth, they want you to accept their display of affection in public, accept their marriage to each other and their little ‘adopted children” family. Later when everything gets out of control, they abuse, dismember, destroy, rape, torture and kill their victims and that’s when Dominicans you have reach the depth of this abomination. The end result like Sodom is fire. People you cannot enter heaven with a sinful soul, you cannot enter the place where God dwells with sin in your life, you must first repent and accept Jesus Christ as your lord and personnal saviour so that he can clean you up spiritually while you have life not when you dead, it will be too late.
?
Mr. Minister was this discuss with your Education Team before a decision was taken I think you would have been better advised.
Ohhh boy
well look it.
thats all i can say, cause we need to bring back the values that we had int his country, gone are the days when the elders toke the time to speak to the young one and also i much say gone are the time when the young one listened as well. now our youth are more into what they see on TV, and lets face it television these days more than before glorify homosexuality.
I do pray that this is not a continued trend.
Can’t fight against prophesy, accept it for what it is. No amount of praying can help or solve anything. People simply have to look after themselves and their families now.
Well, there goes the neighborhood!
Dear Mr.St.Jean: dont you think that you should be investigation why so many children graduate and cant find a job or why there are so many guns and knives/weapons are making it into our schools, instead of investigation why people rather be with the same sex? I would like to see the result of this investigaton? They are gay they are gay leave it alone. Huh i wonder when your investigation is complete you will have a magic pill to cure them..LMAO
lol
R u insane? If they are gay leave that alone….it appears you are
But on a real what they going to do if they gay? Give them anti gay formula? Not nothing them man going and do they just know that would be hot topic so they looking for attention. You think you can make somebody stop feeling something? LOL stop liking girls nuh or boys whatever the case may be.
You think i am insane for asking about the things they may have control over like violence in schools? No i am not gay unlike you i am a realist
I wonder the same thing. Maybe they’ll have a praise and worship session and lay hand on them to rid them of their urges. lol (aye Dominique)
As long as they don’t use a snake in the service, we good to go.
i hear about violence in the high schools but never really heard much talk about homosexual conduct in the schools. it seems to be on a rise. everyday we push God.
wiser than,, where have you been hybernating? wake up bro, you must take LIAT at least for once !!!
Homosexuality inreasing in schools, yes,SO WHATS THE BIG DEAL ???? its in schools all over the world, get over it !!!
So very true. And for those who disliked your comment its only because they don’t want to admit the truth
If everything that is antisocial happens all other places we should just let it happen here? Is that what u r suggesting should happen here. Let us then get rid of all laws and limitations then we will see where it ends
Anonymous1 go big up your mind, and hope you dont leave DA and go live with ANTISOCIAL PEOPLE ELSE WHERE Because you will GO NUTS…
abomination dats wat it is, stop following de world and keep Dominica FREE of that CURSE! thank you!
ABOMINATION, that curse you talking about will be with you and after you.So find your life.NO STRESS..
Simeon Joseph?????? RREEEAAALLLLYYYY???? Of all ppl in the government service. Things really inside out upside down in that country man?
Yes We! We really upside down. Did the Minister think before he speak or select to head committee. What is dat.
wjhat do you guys mean? speak up!
lol
Weh Weh Weh PAPA our Country fini bat!!!!!!
And what is wrong with him, could you or a member of your family have done a better job?
Yeah, this is an excellent use of state resources…NOT!!!! Awa wii…school violence, yes, needs to be investigated and addressed. The PS’ has no facts to substantiate his remarks about homosexuality…it’s like those wild claims Mitt Romney tends to make against the President…they are obfuscations if not outright lies designed to gin up support from the crazies at the fringe.
I couldn’t agree with you more!!! The dominican government does not have its priorities straight. They need to stop focusing on social issues and need to focus on the economy.
good
