“as I was saying, my brother is a teacher. He has a stressful, tough job. We should not add to his job the worry that if a child comes to him and says, ``Frank, Mr. Inslee, I may kill myself today because I am concerned about my sexual orientation,'' for this Congress to tell my brother to tell that child to go out in the hall and, ``Get ye from the school yard,'' is not what I want this Congress to do. I frankly do not think that is the intent of the drafter of this amendment. But that is what the language says. And I speak for my father who was a biology teacher, and if someone raised his hand and said, ``Mr. Inslee, is there a genetic component to sexual orientation,'' for him to have to worry about some bureaucrat disagreeing with him to lose school funding, that is wrong. I urge you to support the Unsoeld amendment.”
