The Governor's School of North Carolina describes itself as "program for intellectually gifted high school students, integrating academic disciplines, the arts, and unique courses." But one North Carolina couple is suffering some after effects of their son's involvement in the program. Jim and Beverly Burrows say after their son attended a Governor's School seminar called "The New Gay Teenager," he began telling them he was unsure of his "sexual orientation."
The parents believe the seminar was intentionally scheduled as the last optional one before classes ended in order to leave a strong, lasting impression on the students and bypass any parental notification about the seminar.
Jim Burrows says he noticed a big difference in his otherwise normal son upon his return from the school.
"He [said he] was thinking now that he perhaps was gay -- and of course I was floored by this [pronouncement] and was, like, 'where did this come from?' This kind of came out of left field," the dad says. After questioning his son for an extended period, Burrows says he discovered the source. "I found out that this was as a result of this seminar."
According to Burrows, his son was instructed by two openly homosexual staff members of the Governor's School to question his sexuality as well as Bible passages that condemn homosexuality. And the students were also encouraged by instructors to start a Gay Straight Alliance club at their schools, he says.
The North Carolina dad explains that his son's subsequent struggle with homosexuality has turned his family upside down. "As far as our family is concerned, the damage has already been done," he laments. "There's no way that we can go back and undo what has been done."
Still, Mr. Burrows feels he needs to warn other parents of the homosexual indoctrination his son encountered at the Governor's School. "[I]f I can keep one other family from having to go through this, then all this trouble has been worthwhile," he says.

You're as full of opinions as an eggshell is of egg:
"I've heard that it's also spreading more heterosexually here. Promiscuity."
But your opinions are singularly fact free. If you cared to do a teeny tiny bit of reading, you'd find that the majority of AIDS cases at least in the US and Europse are homosexual activity based. And Africa is a whole 'nother kettle of fish, since many people are labled "AIDS" even without testing. Additionally, there is a lot of practice of anal sodomy there, which promotes the spread of AIDS and other blood born viruses, whether such sodomy is same sex or opposite sex.
For you to opine that AIDS is spreading "more" heterosexually is pure nonsense.
I forgot that non-keyword searches timeout after a short time. Sigh. Well, folks can still run a search on fistgate and read up...
Uh, no... I see you enjoy twisting people's words.
And, why did he go to this optional seminar in the first place? Being optional, seems he could have skipped it and gone home early if he wanted to. Seems he was curious enough to attend.
Read the whole thread, and links, and then get back to the discussion. You need to catch up.
He's not aware of the homosexual "agenda" which pervades in certain school districts.
I guess I assume that because I've been reading about the homosexual agenda on FR (and elsewhere) for years, that everyone else is up to speed as well. I find it hard to imagine how anyone could not know what's going on.
I'm not very tolerant tonight...
Then I don't have a clue what you are saying because I thought the main theme of your posts #351, #325, #321 and #318 was exactly that the gay agenda was using "coercive" tactics (you used that word several times).
I give up.
So you're saying that there is a widespread pattern of homosexual activists in high schools "coercing" teenagers to go to meetings where they are subject to "attempted molestation"? >>>>
YES!
Not as you laid it out here:
"So you're saying that there is a widespread pattern of homosexual activists in high schools "coercing" teenagers to go to meetings where they are subject to "attempted molestation"?"
It's more subtle.
And, why did he go to this optional seminar in the first place? Being optional, seems he could have skipped it and gone home early if he wanted to. Seems he was curious enough to attend.
That's what I've been saying for 2 days now, so they're accusing me of "helping to promote the homosexual agenda", among other things.
Be forewarned.
No Amelia; It was not. This was a SECRET seminar, deliberately left off the agenda.
Yes. As a matter of fact, the organizer of this secret seminar is being investigated for molesting a 17 year old student at her regular job, AS WE SPEAK.
Bottom line? It is illegal for adults to expose minors to sexually explicit material.
amelia; Not trying to start arguing with you all over again but its interesting to note that the seminar was not scheduled prior to the start of the school, and there was no other competing seminar to attend that day. Along with some other interesting things.
scripter; just thought you might like to read the article and ping it to whomever you want.
Is there a way to ping everyone that has contributed to a thread ?
The above article was recently posted on FR here: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/1578140/posts. I see you're already on that thread.
There's no easy way to ping everybody other than a manual copy and paste... The Homosexual Agenda ping list has already been pinged to the above article so that should help.
Whoops. I meant to remove you from the above post but hit post too soon.
