Students Singled Out Before Peers for Belief that Homosexuality is Wrong
By Allie Martin
April 19, 2002(AgapePress) - A school district in California is facing a federal lawsuit after representatives from Planned Parenthood were brought in to address a health class without parental notice. [Emphasis supplied.]
School administrators at Arcata High School invited guest speakers from Planned Parenthood to address the freshman class. The topic to be covered was sexual education -- but more specifically, "homophobia" and homosexuality.
Brad Dacus of the Pacific Justice Institute says what took place during the class amounted to religious-based harassment.
"Planned Parenthood put all the kids in a circle and then they would ask them questions. If they answered the questions correctly, the children got to leave the circle and watch and look and stare at the quote-unquote ‘intolerant’ kids inside the circle," Dacus says.
"Inside the circle, the final question asked of the children was, ‘Do you have religious beliefs that ... homosexuality is a sin and therefore wrong?’ There was [sic] three girls who were left in the middle of the circle feeling very demeaned, very put down."
Dacus says such exercises are all too common in California schools. "These kinds of programs are becoming the norm, not the exception," he says. "They’re becoming much more the rule, and that is why it’s so important to protect our children from this kind of stigmatizing trauma that’s taking place against Christian kids with Christian family backgrounds."
Dacus says the exercise violated both state and federal law when it was performed without prior written parental consent. The parents of at least one Christian student are considering legal action against the school district.

Sad little story. Heads will roll if that goes on with my little brother or sister or my future kiddies.
In a study in France, 129 convicted male homosexuals (average age 34 years) said they had had sexual contact with a total of 11,007 boys (an average of 85 different boys per man). (O'Carroll, T. Pedophilia: The Radical Case. Boston: Alyson, 1982.)

Alfred Kinsey's data may be unreliable in many respects, since he was himself a driven homosexual propagandist, but even he, in 1948, reported that 4% of "non-criminal" white male homosexuals and 7% of "non-criminal" white lesbians reported that their first homosexual experience had been with a "teacher or other caretaker." No heterosexuals were recorded as having had a teacher as their first sex partner. (Gebhard, P.H. & Johnson, A.B. The Kinsey Data. New York: Saunders, 1979)
I wonder what the rate among metrosexuals will wind up being? But that's the point, isn't it?
A 1979 survey by two homosexual researchers, titled The Gay Report, claimed that 73% of adult male homosexuals reported having had sex with teenaged or younger boys. A 1965 survey of British "older teens" 15 to 19 showed that 35% of the boys and 9% of the girls had been approached by homosexual adults for sex.
We are not making this stuff up.
Homosexual men are incredibly prone to molest, and they have also historically been evaluated by mental-health professionals as strongly disinclined to respect social conventions, such as the age-inappropriateness of sexual activity for youth. You can not let them into the schools in positions of trust, as GLSEN is doing.
There is going to be a huge scandal, and its stink is going to splatter all over anyone in education who was anywhere near these gay-on-teen teach-ins.
Very nasty.
More youth are experimenting with homosexuality these days because they are being encouraged to do so by the various ways in which the homosexual agenda is being pushed. It can't be a surprise to any thinking individual that if a lifestyle is promoted, more people will choose that lifestyle. Is it in society's best interest, or a child's best interest, to increase the number of homosexuals?
Like the father who objected to his sons goodie bag from multicultural week that included "meet my 2 mommies" or some such nonsense. He stated his displeasure and was slapped with a restraining order (or similar) for the school grounds.
The best interest of neither. The only interest being served is that of the homosexuals. They want more numbers so than can more readily be accepted as normal. But it will never happen. Normal is easy to decipher. ROUND PEG IN ROUND HOLE make babies. Sword fighting, doesnt. Cant allow this crap to continue.
That whole David Parker situation was ridiculous. Unfortunately, it can probably happen anywhere and is yet another reason why we homeschool.
I just got engaged but homeschooling is a possiblility after I have my babies because I've seen what happens in public schools.
"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 the parents, the son then broke into a melody of show tunes, which included selections from Caberet, Oklahoma, along with some of the greatest hits of Ethel Merman.
I have trouble believing that a normal heterosexual teenaged boy could be convinced during one seminar - or even during 6 weeks - that he was attracted to males instead of females if females had always been the subject of his fantasies.
In fact I still have trouble believing that a normal heterosexual teen male would have any interest in attending a seminar about gay teens.
I also thought the parents should have, or at least could have, known the seminar would be offered, which we now find was not the case. It does seem that some of the other offerings might have raised warning flags with them, however.
It does conveniently -- very conveniently -- shift whatever guilt they may feel for having a gay kid to the school. The seminar turned him gay!
Uh, well, yeah, okay...
I wondered if perhaps that was part of the reason the father was so angry...you know the stereotypical thing about distant fathers being a cause of their sons turning out homosexual?
Distant fathers? I thought it was mothers with odd notions regarding boundries...
It's a typical story. This is the way it ends: kid goes to college and doesn't return home more than once or twice a year. After school he moves to the big city and bores friends with his tale of woe for the next ten years.
Go back and re-read the article. It does NOT say the kid is gay, it says he came back QUESTIONING his sexuality. If you don't think this seminar is the cause of his uncertainty, you're living in an alternate reality.
The article does not say the boy is gay, it said he came back "questioning" his sexuality, which he never did before. Big difference.
Maybe you have sons who were "normal heterosexual teenaged boys", but maybe this kid was a very shy, pimply-faced introvert who has never had a girlfriend. Does that mean he must be gay or does it mean he might just be quite impressionable?
So you're telling me that you did not have one male friend or school acquaintance that was a little shy, introverted - maybe needed a little nudging to break out of his shell - that was nonetheless heterosexual?
News flash, fella - not every male person that doesn't think and act like you did as a teen is gay...
It's well past time for these people to do something about GLSEN.
