SCHOOL LIFE THREATENING TO GAYS? HATE CRIME HOAX!
Homosexual Activists Create a Crisis for Political Gain
SAFE ZONES It is high time the moral framework of our society squarely confronts the deceptive propaganda that is being spread throughout our community regarding school safety for gay teens.
The implication that an epidemic of crime is being perpetrated against people because of their sexual "orientation" is simply a ploy to gain sympathy and political momentum for the gay right movement.
The facts are that there is NO epidemic of crime going on or a need for so-called school "safe zones" for fanatical organizations such as (PFFLG) Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbian and Gays, to be concerned about. CERTAINLY NOT AN ISSUE FOR SCHOOL TEACHERS TO BE INVOLVED WITH AT THE EXPENSE OF TAXPAYER MONEY! Factious statements by anonymous students and fabricated statistics by bias gay organizations such as GLSEN are ridiculous, lack creditability, and substantiate undocumented irresponsible reporting on behalf of the news media.
Any crime committed in the State of Wisconsin, which is recorded under the category of an aggravated assault, is documented by the State of Wisconsin Department of Justice Assistance. A brief definition of such a crime would be to intend to do bodily harm with a weapon, knife, broken bottle, or cutting material, fire-arm, club, brick or hand, feet, fist etc. if broken bones or stitches occur.
During 1997 and 1998, a total of 14,734 of these offenses were recorded in Wisconsin of which only 1 was listed against a person because of his/her sexual orientation at school. Does this sound like an epidemic? In fact, the Department does not even list a category for aggravated assaults against homosexuals at school because experience has not substantiated the need for such a listing. This fact alone proves the point.
There has never been a homicide recorded in Wisconsin because of a person’s sexual orientation. So who is being threatened? Vincent Schiraloli, Director of the Washington D.C. based Justice Policy Institute has stated that "Students have a far greater risk of being killed by lightening than murdered at school. Does this sound like an epidemic?
Hate Crime Hoax:
The FBI began collecting data on the commission of hate crimes in 1990, and over the last eight years, hate crimes against homosexuals increased in only one year – 1997. Out of more than 18,000 homicides that year, only three were committed based on the victim’s sexual orientation, a number representing less than .0002 percent of the total murders. If one inch represents one homicide, it would take five football fields to represent the 18,000 murders committed in the U.S. in 1997. Only three inches of the total length would represent the number of homosexual homicides based on the victim’s sexual orientation.
Statistics show that most offenses that are listed as "hate crimes" were for low-level offenses such as speech or verbal name calling (someone’s feelings being hurt) what generally would be referred to as "teasing?" Children"teasing" other children for various reasons(not threatening their lives) have always been part of "growing up" in a free society. Censorship of thought and speech belongs in Nazi Germany not the United States.
Reasonable treatment at school for students who refer to themselves as gay is no less important than for heterosexual students. But in a free society it isn’t more important, either. These are children, not mindless robots to be manipulated, deprived of feelings, emotion, thought and free speech. Why is "kidding" someone "you’re so gay," any different than to comment on someone being fat, skinny, tall, short, having a big nose, pimples, freckles, stuttering, a sissy, Catholic, Jewish, Polish, poor or a holly-roller? Where are the "safe zones" for these students?
How do Wisconsin students feel about school violence?
A study in the spring of 1999 in 46 public Wisconsin high schools was administered to 1,336 students by the Wisconsin Youth Risk Behavior Survey (WYRBS) under the direction of the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction. The survey shows that students are more vulnerable to commit suicide, have drugs offered to them, smoking, or not having proper health care, than they are to being harmed (for any reason) at school. For students in grades 9-12, 96% stated they usually or always felt safe from physical harm at school. The same percentages exist for going to or coming from school. This percentage is consistent through all four grades. Only 4% said they felt threatened (not necessarily in school) at some time, because (someone thought) they were gay, lesbian, or bisexual. More students are concerned about being over or underweight, lack of family love and support, or whether teachers care and encourage them, than they are about safety in school.
Most people don’t want homosexual rhetoric discussed in school. A recent Gallup poll surveyed 1,028 people regarding the topics that "should be required" in high school. Only 6% of the respondents said "homosexuality as an alternative lifestyle" should be required teaching in school.
There is certainly no evidence that homosexual teens are disproportionately victimized by violence in Dane County public schools or any other area for that matter. Saying it’s so doesn’t make it so, regardless of gay propaganda groups. All we have to substantiate that such disproportionate victimization occurs is the fabricated claim’s of anonymous students and gay organizations who have a particular axe to grind, a grant to spend, and a burning desire to pollute the minds of our youth.
Any attempt to normalize a lifestyle that throughout history has been considered immoral and not caution young people regarding related health risks is unconscionable.
It is a proven fact that promiscuous sexual activity, which many times accompanies the homosexual lifestyle, poses a far greater risk to ones health than cigarette smoking. School officials and other responsible people who are in a position to influence unknowledgeable young students concerning health risks associated with this lifestyle, and are not doing so, will before long find themselves in the same vulnerable position the tobacco companies have experienced. Legal action may proceed down the "gay referral network" to all individuals that can and will be held responsible!
Legal organizations in the U.S. are currently collecting date with the specific intention of financially assisting AIDS patients recover damages for the economic, physical and emotional damage they have experienced as a result of deliberate irresponsible advice. Buyer beware!
Have You Heard of the Murder of Jesse Dirkhising?
The news media has been "promoting" the Matthew Shepard murder trial in Wyoming for some time. This is the case in which two young men were convicted for the murder of a homosexual man. Cries by the gay community for hate crime legislation have intensified as a result of this trial. But, have you heard of a boy by the name of Jesse Dirkhising? I would guess not!
Warning—the following story is not suitable for children.
In a similar case to that of Matthew Shepard, (that is being covered up by the national media and ignored by President Clinton) Arkansas authorities are seeking the death penalty for two homosexual men charged with the "sadomasochistic" raping and torturing of a 13-year old heterosexual boy. When a homosexual is accused of murder the story usually gets unreported.
Davis Don Carpenter, 38, and Joshua Macave Brown, 22, each are charged with one count of capital murder and six counts of rape stemming from the September 26 death of 13-year old Jesse Dirkhising. The accused were ordered held without bond. Prosecutors told CNSNews.com they will seek the death penalty. The boy was found close to death at the apartment of the two men, who police described as homosexual lovers. Facsimiles of affidavits are available at website www.americansfortruth.org.
According to the affidavit, Brown told police that on the morning of September 26, he snuck up on the boy, tied his hands behind his back, placed his pair of undershorts in the teen’s mouth and secured the briefs with a bandanna and duct tape. He said he blindfolded the youth, bound him to a bed and repeatedly sodomized him while Carpenter watched. Investigators said they found notes from Carpenter to Brown, instructing him on how to bind and sedate a child. A preliminary autopsy showed that the boy died from positional asphyxiation. Police say the boy was sodomized with several objects.
THINK ABOUT IT!

Okay, I say they get their "safe zones" but in return become fair game anywhere else. Anything outside the "safe zone" is a freebie. Deal?
I will be away most of the day and will not be able to respond to post until later. I thought this was quite informative and posted for your information.

A professor across the hall from my office at NYU has one of those safe zone stickers.
It certifies that [fill in the blank] has "information, sensitivity, and understanding of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender concerns," and that she has taken a course in these matters to achieve this certification.
Her office is, therefore, a "Safe Zone." But the hallway, I suppose, is a danger zone.
Does incitement to suicide count as threatining another's life?
...reading file
It makes several claims. For example:
- Out of more than 18,000 homicides that year, only three were committed based on the victim's sexual orientation, a number representing less than .0002 percent of the total murders.
- Statistics show that most offenses that are listed as "hate crimes" were for low-level offenses such as speech or verbal name calling (someone's feelings being hurt) what generally would be referred to as "teasing?"
The article would certainly be more credible if these claims were backed by proof.
Jesse Dirkhising was killed in September, 1999. When was this article written? Apparently between Sep and Dec, 1999.
>Okay, I say they get their "safe zones" but in return become fair game anywhere else. Anything outside the "safe zone" is a freebie. Deal?<
I agree totally. I guess the kids at recess can't play 'smear the queer' anymore, huh?

READ THIS ONE!!
Homosexual Agenda Ping.
Excellent overview of "hate crimes", so-called "safe schools", various myths being presented by homosexual activists, and some useful facts/figures.
Keep it, save it, copy it, email it out.
Let me and DirtyHarryY2K know if anyone wants on/off this pinglist.
The sad thing is more kids get beat-up for being fat or class nerds. Should we give every so-called social outcast a "safe-zone?"
This is why I believe schools are doing much more harm to children than help. Liberals have created this artificial utopia within the walls of academia...that protect kids from every adversity in life. Instead of dealing with these realities, they are sheltered and pampered, never having to face these problems...ala crisis counselors, safe-zones, etc.
In return, we get a bunch of young adults who enter the work place unprepared for the reality of the real world. I firmly believe that this will result in greater work-place violence and conflict simply because these children have been pampered throughout their lives and won't have the ability to deal with adversity.

Heck I was a flamin' heterosexual and it was still dangerous for me.
I think, in fact, that it's threatening (or at least has been) to conservative leaning teens who put socializing and impressing their peers behind academic achievement and good moral principles in their list of priorities.
