If James Baldwin had been at the School Reform Commission meeting Wednesday, he might have taken the next plane back to Europe. If Bayard Rustin had witnessed the meeting, he might have wept. African-American speakers used the monthly SRC business meeting as a forum to crudely denounce the school district's designation of October as Gay and Lesbian History month. The incensed protestors shouted slurs at students and speakers, yelled for segregated schools that would exclude lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender children from the rest of the school population, and denounced Gay and Lesbian History month as a white oriented racist agenda. --- snip ---- Robert Gray, of the African American Freedom & Reconstruction League, launched perhaps the strongest attack. "We not only have the right but also a responsibility to set our own standards," his letter to the board read. "No white person can tell us what our standards are, the 'radical' or the 'right winged.

People have a right to hold different views on the morality of homosexuality. The schools should not be teaching propaganda promoting it.
Great! I like it.
How does anyone prove that they're gay?

We're all gays today.
And if Aaron Copland had been present, he might have tried to bugger half the men in the room, while playing Appalachian Spring on the accordian.
The last time I visited center city Philly, there were people from a radical black "church" handing out leaflets claiming that the CIA was secretly implanting black people with microchips. Racial politics is a big draw in a city that's becoming a decaying, corrupt shooting gallery.

Fanny seems to want us to think this is no big deal and to not worry about it.
In other words, she's asking us to shrug our shoulders.

It's a major issue for many homeschoolers on FR, though not for all homeschoolers. (I live in a blue state, and approximately half of the homeschoolers here are left-leaning Democrats).
