Two parents who objected to a Massachusetts high school's homosexual-awareness day were expelled from the campus after a mother began videotaping a session.
Brian Camenker, an activist who has a son at Newton North High School in Newtonville, Mass., and Kim Cariani, mother of two students, said four police officers and the school principal warned they would be charged with trespassing if they didn't leave the campus Wednesday.

Yes, I was just going to say, is this a public school. I'd dare them to try to get me out of that school if my child was taking part in that stuff. Good ole Mass. Home of jfkerry! (small letters for a small man)
It is rather ironic that schools can't say "Merry Christmas" or sing a "Christmas Song" because somebody may be offended - but will offend boatloads of people for the "right" issues...
Shine a lot of light on this crap so people can see what it really is!

Videotaping and widespread dissemination hurts their cause. Tape all the school plays and sporting events to your heart's desire though.
And also students who knew something.
Another Massachusetts Democrat at Work for you and me!
"District policy prohibits taping or photographing students without parental permission."
So, at school plays, parents must be pretty handy with the zoom.
Good thing it's a "PUBLIC" school.
Look at the list of "clubs" at this school - do any actual studies occur at this school?

Indeed. My boring hetero life with my beautiful wife and 2 wonderful children must give them fits.
Is that a complete list? I didn't notice a Christian Club. I suppose there are no Christians in Newton, MA schools.
Homosexuals are 1% of the population. With the publicity they get you would think THEY are the 99% of the population. Pretty pathetic.
Forcing EVERYONE in school to be "aware" of them on their "own Day" is ridiculous. Homosexuals are abnormal enough; they don't need the public outing of an "Awareness Day."
I wonder whose brain stormfart this was.
All the numbers you need to freep this modern day Sodom can be found at http://www.newtonpublicschools.com/Documents/Schools/2002-2003/ProfileNNHS.pdf
I am SHOCKED!
