Saw the Tolerance.org website.......no doubt about it, they're putting their best foot forward. Not a word about the camel's unsightly derriere -- chickenhawking, skinning chicken, etc., etc.

Feel our pain. Protect us. Help us against the Blue Meanies. I mean, this is cartoon politics. And people were upset about Joe Camel?

Yeah, it's amazing what GLSEN, et al gets away with in the public schools. What started as a college-level event has filtered down into the elemenatry schools, now that GLSEN has taken over the "Day of Silence" event.

GLSEN claims that this is a student-led event. In elementary and middle schools? BS. GLSEN leads and organizes this event and Jennings knows it.

Oh, and the "saftey in the schools issue?" It's a ruse by GLSEN and other homosexual organizations. It all started with bogus statistics on "gay" youth suicide:

One-Third of All Youth Suicides Involve Gay Youth; Therefore, School Systems Need to Promote "Understanding" of Gay Lifestyles to Protect and Enhance the Self-Esteem of Gay Youth

Gibson's Skewed Research

Problem #1: Small Percentage of Suicides Found Gay

Problem #2: Gibson Cites Gay Studies With Unrepresentative Samples

An excerpt from "New Study Indicates Gays and Lesbians Prone To Psychological Symptoms and Substance Abuse -- But School Harassment Rates Not Higher for Gay Males"

"The findings of a study just published in the British Journal of Psychiatry (December 2003) suggest higher incidences of illegal drug usage, alcoholism, psychological problems, and violence in the gay community than in the general population...

But bullying at school, the study noted, was reported no more often by gay men than by heterosexual men. Reports that gay men and lesbians are disproportionately vulnerable to school harassment "are often taken at face value," the researchers noted, with researchers failing to draw a comparison to heterosexual students, who--at least in this study--were found to suffer similar high rates of school bullying and harassment..."
