Forgot the barf alert, Calpernia. Thanks for posting this. Question: Why on earth does any school district let these people in to do these trashy surveys? Schools should have no part of this.
No wonder thinking parents are disgusted. I could care less if these people are gay, bisexual, or even into beastiality, it used to be a private matter with no place in the school. Hasn't anyone figured out that school is not a place where everyone feels good about themselves, but a place to learn? As someone who has taught before, I can tell you no learning is going on in many schools, with the exception of learning how to deal drugs, put the make on anyone handy, make babies out of wedlock, shop lift, etc. I'm quite sure most of the ones I dealt with are now in the pen and other unsavory places. The real problem is that many of these children feel TOO GOOD ABOUT THEMSELVES!!! They're brash, cocky, in-your-face, and very much delinquent. What they really want to learn is the above mentioned, and whatever floats their boat is not only A-OK, but to be celebrated---and boy do they celebrate. What ever happened to teaching children the skills needed to make a living?
If my kids were in the public school systems, I would be pitching a fit that they handed over any data to GLSEN.
To answer your question as to why schools go along with it, you can thank the ACLU, they take districts to court who do not comply, and a lot of schools are unwilling to take it that far.
Still a lot of folks, even here on FR refuse to accept that this is really going on, or the harm being done to society and our children. GLDSEN people are NOT teachers, or any other profession that should give them access to children. They and their agenda are strictly political, and they have no business in schools. Margaret Spellings need to put a stop to this!
Who you have sex with, and how, are private matters, behaviors, NOT GENETICS! and certainly not due minority status. Were to accept the "born that way" agenda, and give these people minority status, we would have to also include those who fancy themselves attracted to animals, those that partake in torture and whips and chains, those who fancy themselves born as vampires, for that matter!!!
