I know states laws vary. Here we had an opt out (still do legally) law for parents. But GLSEN just doesn't obey the law. They find ways around it. It's too difficult to see that parents get the material, kids may not give it to their parents, they get lost in the mail, etc etc etc.

We are trying to pass "mandatory )pt In" in the legislature. This means a parent would have to opt in via a permission slip, or the child cannot attend. This would be much more effective, and harder for GLSEN to get around. The ACLU is pushing this on the schools, even filing lawsuits if schools don't enforce GLSEN's teaching to ALL students.

As with a lot of our problem, we need to stop the ACLU!
