An Ohio pro-family activist warns that the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is disseminating information in an effort that is creating confrontational pro-homosexual student activists. A website for the organization's Lesbian and Gay Rights Project offers students a "Know Your Rights" card and refers to laws that purportedly protect homosexual behavior.
But Linda Harvey, head of the conservative group Mission America, contends that the information the ACLU's homosexual rights advocates are providing through the site is somewhat distorted. "They say, for instance, that you have a federal constitutional right to express your sexual orientation," she notes. "I don't think that exists, unless I'm misinformed. I don't see that anywhere in our Constitution."
Harvey feels the ACLU is putting such information in the hands of students with a deliberate purpose. "What they're doing is ... creating a situation where students are going to be confrontational, and most school boards and schools in this country are not prepared to deal with this," she asserts.
The pro-family spokeswoman believes the ACLU, in its effort to educate homosexual students of these so-called "rights," is setting up a situation in which the civil liberties organization can sue a school on behalf of a student who does not get what he or she wants at school. Meanwhile, she points out, as another part of its Lesbian and Gay Rights Project, the ACLU is encouraging homosexual students to establish "Gay Straight Alliance" (GSA) clubs, wear homosexual-themed t-shirts, and promote "gay pride" on campus.
However, Harvey says schools can prevent the formation of such clubs if the schools do not have a non-discrimination policy that includes the term "sexual orientation." Also, she notes that schools have another option, "if they have an abstinence-based sex education policy; they can deny these clubs."
In that case, the Ohio family advocate points out, some investigation and documentation would be necessary for schools to make their case against the formation of student GSAs. "What [school officials] will have to do," she explains, "is go back and research clubs in the past and find the fact that clubs really do deal with sexual matters. They say that they don't, but they do. That would be another adequate defense."
Harvey says since the ACLU has a myriad of resources for homosexual students yet offers none for Christian students, the group is clearly demonstrating that its commitment to diversity is phony.
I don't know why the ACLU even bothers to use American in its name. There is nothing American about them, in fact they are working to destroy America.
Homosexual agenda ping.
no kidding
at some point in the very near future - there MUST be a face to face showdown to settle this issue once and for all.
I do not believe the aclu kind will prevail.
LMAO!
Say goodbye to moral absolutes, which actually, is exactly what has been happening in schools since the '60's.
HOMESCHOOL OR PRIVATE SCHOOL!
DO NOT BELIEVE SHRINKS!
DO NOT BELIEVE CHURCHES THAT BELONG TO THE NCC OR WCC AND IF YOU ATTEND, DO *NOT* CONTRIBUTE!
The ACLU was outed years ago to be a communist front organization during the cold war...their agenda has always been to dismantle American culture, ethics, and morals from within.
This should be considered some kind of sexual harassment
Their founder WAS an avowed Communist, no secret.
"confrontational pro-homosexual student activists"
Wouldn't liberal, pro-communist, atheistic, greenie, pro-homosexual student activists with reparations guilt" be more accurate?
If you want on/off the ping list let me and little jeremiah know.
The way these groups like the ACLU, Code Pink(o), A.N.S.W.E.R., ect...are, and the way the MSM glorifies them, it's as if they are trying to portray that it's almost "fashionable" to be communitst.
There is article floating about today about a bill coming up in the House to defund the ACLU - I tried to keep tract of it to ping it out to my M.A. list. You know, how they file gazillions of lawsuits and take taxpayer money whether they win or the victims just give up, generally having to part with money as well as surrender to the ACLU's evil demands.
Why the hell does the ACLU recieve a penny of our money to begin with, conservative groups certainly don't.
The UN is also out, and some of its corrupt leaders jailed.
Schools, now free of the pressure on them, again allow voluntary prayer and Bible studies, and re-institute discipline. Schools once again become manageable. True abstinence -based education is introduced. These changes are welcome by teachers and students alike.
Now that Homo teachings and advocacy groups are gone, Church attendance once again becomes a priority in most peoples lives.
And Child molesters, rapists, terrorists, pedophiles, etc, are given a fair trial, and if GUILTY, are QUICKLY dispatched.
(There is more of the fantasy, more of an essay, but you all get my point.)
Us writers tend to have big dreams. THIS is one, I pray will come true, and that I live to see it, SOON!!!!!!!
The American Family Association is waging war with the corporate big wigs and advertisement firms.
Progress is slow but steady. Keep the faith and Fight The Good Fight!
Yeah, and they drink blood, kill small animals, practice necrophagia, worship the moon, have secret meetings with the ghost Lenin, plot the asassinations of government leaders, secretly add hypnotics to school childrens' lunches, beat their grandmothers; and that's only a few of the subversive things they engage in every day. The absurdities relentlessly attributed to the ACLU here only lend crediibilty to the wisdom of ignoring the nonsensical, barking idiocy of the anti-intellectualism of those who disagree with the organization.
