Im planning a Kiss-In at my school, tips?

I think the whole "you cant spread love beacause its against our bullshit policy/Public Display of Affection" trip is BULLSHIT.

If they wanna preach bullshit about safety, peace, and a productive society, than you need love. Its fucking educational to have exprierience with love in its many manifestations.

How should we plan this kiss in?

 

You probably shouldn't. Public school have those rules because walking down the hallway watching 2 people liplock is a distraction. Don't misunderstand me. Public schools have a lot of idiot policies that I disagree with. Zero Tolerance for fighting is one situation. There are a lot of bigger problems with the school system you could protest other than PDA, a policy that really isn't a violation fo one's rights.

 

But its contradictrary in morale, not to mention ridiculous. you are right about liplocking being distracting, but simple hugs have happened for years. Everyone enjoys hugs, they arent distracting, yet they spread the love. Its bullshit.

 

Do you mean you're not allowed to hug in your school??

 

yes. Or hold hands. any "Public Display of Affection"

 

I think using facebook would be an effective way of spreading the word. Whenever I hear about events going on at my university it's usually through facebook. Great organizing tool.

 

I think it's shitty that just holding hands is frowned upon in schools now. Think of the message that's sending, the emotional conditioning that's at work there. Whether intentional or not, this kind of policy will have untold effects on the collective consciousness of this country.

They are trying to break us apart. Fight back hard, and keep love in your hearts, not hatred. Resist animosity towards the powers, just love unconditionally, and they will be hard pressed to hurt you much. Especially if everyone is involved. Truly peaceful protests, where the participants are peaceful not only physically but also spiritually (not a trace of anger in their souls), are very tough to break up.

But once the protestors turn violent, even if it's only in the form of negative thoughts, the magic is lost and anything can happen.

 

Share the warmth, I totally agree with you.

And I know that your almost double my age, But I think you are SO HOT! Idk if your straight, but you could get so many guys and girls! WOW!

 

Well, were doing it today! Wish us luck!

 

Good Luck!
I'm chocked that you're not even aloud to kiss or hug in your public schools.
Such conservative bullshit-policy (and all other ways conservatism try to discipline free people) deserve civil disobedience.
Show them some love!

 

Good luck, and thank you for the compliments! : )

 

I'm not an american, so ill you please explain what PDA is?

I think it's dangerous not to make a civil disobedient happening come true, just because the basic structural problems are the real problem, if that's what you mean.
I'm sorry if I misunderstand you. I'll take all on me then - english is not my primary language.

Unless I misunderstand you, you're saying that it's better to strike the system at the structural level - but where is the structural level? At the political level? But where can you place the political level?

The political level is the structural level, and it's an illusion that the "political level" is a "level" that can be placed anywhere. It's a discourse. Everyone who tell you that what's political can be levelled are people who've accepted authority as a legal way of govern free human beings.

Questions and answers together define what's right or wrong, in its eternal dialectical dynamics.

If you ask a question that the system can't answer without fooling itself, you're a step closer to freedom.

...And to the subject...

"There might be more serious subjects than the right to kiss & hug". But here in Europe we know how fascism begin. "Preventing kisses & hugs are nothing compared to starving ppl in the 3rd world".
NO - but that's how all fascist regimes start their tyranny. Not to fight against conservative assholes who prevent young people from kiss & hug is like to give them a greencard to oppress the rest of the world & keep the poor in poverty.

To fight against the structural level is to fight against the absurdities that you see in your daily life - cuz that's excactly where the 'structural level' plays in.

With all my love & respect,

My school doesn't really care about such things. They have the policy but don't do anything at all about it. You really not allowed to hug at your school? what nonsense!!!


What exactly is a kiiss in though?

 

I'm guessing a kiss-in is a bunch of people getting together to kiss... kinda like a sit-in, teach-in, be-in, die-in, etc. is just a buncha people getting together to do their chosen verb, lol.

 

sounds nice

 

Love that idea man, how did it go?
a year or two ago my school banned any signs of "differently sexual" affections
we had a lesbain couple in school who were not allowed to
hug
kiss
hold hands
display affection in any way a straight couple could and did.

because get this:
"it may confuse or anger other students"

so...
becuase the homophobic element of the school may get angry they were not allowed to show their love

Freedom


what next? " no n*ggers or jews allowed on campus becuase it may confuse or anger the neo-nazi element?"

im not gay/bi/ or even "differently sexual"

but if i want to kiss another man in public i will.

 

It's a conspiracy to take away freedom. They take away the little things, like freedom of expression, and telling us the words 'Merry Christmas' are politically incorrect. We're told it's trivial to fight for the little things, but letting them take away the small things empowers them to take away the big things. Already something as trivial as the 'Merry Christmas' is a direct violation of our constitutional rights. So I say if you feel your rights are being compromised, fight back no matter how minscule you're told your cause is. It doesn't matter. Taking away any form of freedom is a big deal, and we shouldn't just shut up and take it. This is why people died for this country. So we could open our mouths and protect ourselves.
Kids are treated as rightless citizens. The rules they make in schools cross so many lines, but they get away with it in the name of 'the greater good'. It's all about control. Kids are taught not to rock the boat, to submit to authority. It's difficult to have a voice when no when allows you to speak.
Rock the fucking boat, I'm all for your kiss-in. Good luck!

 

I agree Therese. Humanity allows itself to be imprisoned, brick by brick.

One of the worst things about the world today is how cold and critical we've become of each other as artists. It's seen as weird and foolish to protest the government but everyone is ready to jump on and attack anyone trying to make any kind of artistic statement.

We're so busy fighting each other and being so jealous of the fortune and fame other individuals earn that we forget who the real enemy is, those who stand in the way of freedom.

 

FYI, you pretty much just made my life. And your school sucks. Obviously, they're just trying to find some reason to justify their homophobia. It'd be hilarious to organize a gay kiss-in to protest. haha.


I also think Therese Aline makes a good point about these kinds of policies - It's easy to ignore the small issues, when there are wars and different things going on, but "letting them take away the small things empowers them to take away the big things."
