Attorney Claims Lesbian Teachers Using Schools to Push Homosexual Lifestyle

(AgapePress) - A California school district may be taken to court after a group of high school teachers began blatantly promoting homosexuality in their classrooms.

Recently a group of lesbian teachers in the Scotts Valley Unified School District (Santa Cruz County) started hanging pro-homosexual posters in their classrooms, discussing homosexuality in their classrooms, and providing referrals to homosexual and bisexual organizations to students questioning their sexuality. Numerous parents have complained to school officials, who said they would investigate matters. However, no administrative correction has been initiated in response to the complaints.

Brad Dacus, president of the Pacific Justice Institute, says the teachers are engaged in a campaign of homosexual indoctrination, and are using anti-harassment laws as a soapbox for state-sponsored endorsement of their lifestyle. And they seem to be getting the support to do so, not only from the district, but from the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and area homosexual organizations as well.

"We know it's a very liberal community," Dacus notes, "a very hostile, intolerant community for the rights of parents, and intolerant towards those people of faith who do not openly accept and embrace homosexuality and other forms of deviant lifestyles." Although he says PJI is not really expecting the Santa Cruz County school officials to implement changes, he says his legal group is "hoping they'll take it under serious consideration."

The PJI attorney feels the school district is being hypocritical since, even as the teachers are engaging in their pro-homosexual conduct under the guise of tolerance, posters celebrating traditional families are not allowed. However, he points out that complaints from outraged parents have had virtually no effect on the school administrators.

The officials have even ignored requests from district parents that the pro-homosexual posters be taken out of the classrooms and pinned instead on public bulletin boards where a student would have the option of reading or ignoring them, or that they be placed alongside posters showing competing viewpoints.

A Hostile Environment for Pro-Family Values A number of the dissenting parents have argued that the students are a captive audience being forced to confront high-pressure influence from militantly pro-homosexual teachers who stand in a position of authority over them, as well as from aggressive homosexual students. According to PJI's sources, a student who is not interested in joining a "diversity club" at school is sometimes subjected to obscene gestures and other forms of harassment from homosexual peers.

According to Dacus, what is happening in some of the district schools is that pro-homosexual teachers are being allowed to create a hostile environment for students who hold faith-based or traditional values that regard homosexuality as immoral. "Pro-homosexual indoctrination, unfortunately, has become not the exception but almost the rule for most California schools as well as for other schools in liberal parts of this country," he says.

But while homosexual groups and the ACLU reportedly claim this type of tolerance and diversity education is needed for schools to comply with anti-harassment laws, the head of PJI says this is misleading. He contends that U.S. lawmakers never meant to enable teachers or school officials to use the anti-harassment legislation as a tool for promoting homosexuality through the public education system.

Nevertheless, Dacus asserts, it is happening and cannot be ignored. "Parents need to wake up," he says, "and they need to realize that public education can actually be a very harmful, very damaging thing for their children if they're not careful." However, the attorney reminds pro-family citizens that anti-harassment laws were not written exclusively for homosexuals but to apply equally to all Americans, including those who hold traditional values.

PJI sent an attorney to address the trustees of the Scotts Valley School Board at a meeting held last Monday, which focused exclusively on the poster controversy. At the heart of the discussion was a complaint filed more than two years ago by a district parent regarding the display of the pro-homosexual posters in district classrooms. The Santa Cruz Sentinel reports that more than 400 people attended the February 7 school board meeting, which went on until almost 11 p.m.

The Scotts Valley School Board took no action, but board president Sue Roth and Superintendent Stephen Fiss planned to meet again to discuss the issue further. Roth was quoted in the Sentinel as saying she is not sure anything needs to be done, but she would hope the parent who filed the initial complaint will not pursue a lawsuit.

"student(s)not interested in joining a "diversity club"are subject to obscene gestures and other harrasment"?I'll bet all h@ll would break loose if heterosexual students were harrasing homosexual students who belonged to one of these "diversity groups".

"Isn't that likened to the proverbial "Fox guarding the Henhouse"?"

I suppose...but I had male gym teachers too, so it was six of one and a half dozen of the other. My school district was an excellent one though, and all of them took their responsibilities as teachers very seriously.

We had a lesbian softball teacher come to our high school and the girls made fun of her so much that she left.

You have a seperate softball teacher at your high school? Our phys ed teacher told me that where he did his student teaching they had 13 phys ed classes.

I wonder why the students, or the parents or guardians, can't file a sexual harassment suit, or at least say they find the displays "offensive," and demand that they be removed from the classrooms.

They'd probably be better off with this one:

US Constitution Article I, Section 10 -
No state shall enter into any treaty, alliance, or confederation; grant letters of marque and reprisal; coin money; emit bills of credit; make anything but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debts; pass any bill of attainder, ex post facto law, or law impairing the obligation of contracts, or grant any title of nobility.

(If you think caring for & raising your children isn't a legal contract, try NOT taking care of them!)

Most of our coaches were teachers, but this woman was not.

Ally to Queer Youth, Awardee


Ralph Porras is currently serving his second year as the principal of Santa Cruz High School. He is commended by the students for his continued support and advocacy for the Rainbow Alliance, the gay/straight alliance on campus. During his first year as principal, he went out of his way to accommodate and support the Rainbow Alliance's Peer Education Program and last year's Coming Out Day and Day of Silence. He has earned the trust of the Queer youth at Santa Cruz High particularly for his advocacy for Queer rights when an incident occurred last year in which 3 adults demanded that the Rainbow Flag be removed from the flag pole on the Day of Silence. Ralph staunchly refused such a removal of the Rainbow Flag because it would impede on the rights of the Queer students. That evening he stood before the Santa Cruz City School Board with 2 youth leaders to describe what a success the school's Day of Silence had been. This school year Ralph was valuable in efforts to train the staff in a Safe Schools training conducted by the ACLU of Northern California. The students at Santa Cruz High are fortunate to have an advocate for Queer rights like Ralph as their principal.

Can't be. Greta said just the other night that the schools were full of middle-aged female pedophiles, preying on 13 year old boys.

Sheesh.
