A school district in Maine is apologizing after middle school students learned about homosexual foreplay during what was supposed to be a “Diversity Day” presentation.
“I don’t want my child taught heterosexual foreplay, let alone homosexual foreplay,” outraged parent Kristy Howard told Fox News.
The principal of Gorham Middle School sent a letter to parents apologizing for the graphic nature of the presentation by PRYSM, Proud Rainbow Youth of Southern Maine.
“They went beyond the scope of our intentions and discussed topics that we do not deem appropriate for our middle school,” Robert Riley wrote in a letter obtained by The American Journal. “We do not intend to expose them to ideas that are not within the scope of our teaching about responsible citizenship as it is embedded in our code of conduct.”
The incident occurred two weeks before the state voted to approve gay marriage – and involved a classroom of 25 eighth graders.
Howard’s 13-year-old son was one of those who came home shocked by the presentation’s graphic nature.
“They were talking about sex and if you didn’t have a condom – saran wrap could be used in place of a dental dam,” Howard told Fox News. “It was all new to me.”
Howard said the PRYSM presenters also cursed and questioned whether the children had been taught about safe homosexual sex.
James Hagen, chairman of the school committee, told The American Journal that teachers felt uncomfortable about the presentation and reported it to the principal.
“Teachers were in such shock,” he told the newspaper. “Everyone just froze.”
Principal Riley defended the way the teacher’s handled the situation – noting that the conversation about gay foreplay happened near the end of the presentation.

Sounds like the same exact lecture/”demonstration” I received as a mandatory part of college freshman orientation back in the late 1980s.
13 is way to young for this, the five years between that and 18 make a HUGE difference in terms of how to deal with nonsense like this. The group I went through “indoctrination” with recovered from the shock almost immediately and then came pretty close to giving the “instructor” an aneurism with our questions about Saran brand vs generic, whether Reynolds Wrap (OUCH!) or plastic sandwich baggies could be used if Saran Wrap wasn’t readily available when the urge hit.
It took the “instructor” several questions along those lines to realize that we were just scr*wing (figuratively, definitely NOT literally) with him and he ended up having a big tantrum over how we weren’t taking a matter of life and death seriously. The question that put him over the edge involved using Fruit Roll-Ups as a possibly more beneficial (better tasking, some nutritional value, less wasteful, etc) alternative.
So I ended up learning that ridicule is an incredibly potent weapon before I ever knew who Saul Alinsky was.
I have looked at education courses, and homeschooling parents could become teachers. So long as they don't use their class time in college to argue politics with closed-minded professors, there is no barrier to decent people becoming teachers. There are many conservative teachers already; just not enough. We can change that if we try instead of giving up.
If it were a Conservative who somehow had snuck in an anti-abortion class, there would be unceasing cries for that teacher to resign or be fired.
When something like this happens, a half-hearted apology is accepted by those who object. THAT is why they win and we lose. We are still at soapbox and ballot box stages; they are at cartridge box stage.
Who took the call and the meeting from PRYSM in the first bloody place?
More and more I see that homosexuals really are given over to depraved minds. It’s not just about sexual perversion - it’s much more.
Now maybe the voters in Montrose county Colorado can understand why proposition 3 A was voted down, this is the kind of smutt they call education that tax payers are paying for.
And DO NOT TAKE GOVERNMENT “EDUCATION” MONEY!
He that pays the piper calls the tune, and that’s especially true for any government entitlement program.
In Sweden they teach kids to avoid terms “he” or “she” from the age of 4 in daycare centers. Instead, kids are taught to use a unisex “hen” used by homosexuals. Kids are taught gay sex and marriage via fairy tales about male giraffes who adopted a gator egg to raise a child.
One in 5 children is raised by single parent, 60% of children are born to unmarried women in Sweden. About a half are born to illegal immigrants.
In 2004 a pastor Ake Green was sentenced as a hate criminal for citing a bible there homosexualism descrfibed as a sin.
45% dead aren’t burried by their relatives in Sweden, they are leaving bodies to a government for disposal.
That is how it starts a socialist paradise.
As a conservative public school teacher I thank you.
This statement is false. One of my coworkers has home-schooled all four of his children, and he has been promoted to Assistant Principal at one of the local high schools and is being fast tracked to Principal.
Amen. Government schools can do no other than glorify government just as Christian schools teach Jesus and Muslim schools teach Islam. And know that they are getting progressively worse.
Looks as if the PC monster got out of control. What do these "educators" expect from an outsourced presentation by a group with "Proud Rainbow" in their name?
Bless you.
You may have missed the key words. Teach as a conservative once in the classroom. Parrot back what the socialists want to hear prior to that point, so that you can reach the classroom and help children whose parents are liberal or even uninvolved to learn moral values.
And unless this was the first school where this gang made a presentation (doubtful), then the group has a track record. The objecting parents should investigate what the gay group has done previously (as the school administrators should have for certain). The school administrators act as if they had no reason to expect this, and that can possibly be disproven.
There have been stories like this before.
Montrose is a marginally Republican part of Colorado, went Romney in the voting. I think they understand.
Like the endless stream of “school reform”-ers, you’re seeing and addressing only symptoms. Your motivation is admirable, but you’re mistaken when you think the system can be salvaged by getting good people in the classrooms.
Don’t take this the wrong way, but that’s like saying, “Communism could be a good system if we could just get enough good people in charge.”
The compulsory school system was not designed to benefit children, but to make them into good little human resources - among other goals. It’s corrupt from the foundation. An infusion of good people would not fix it, but merely legitimize it.
