Milwaukee to Open Nation's First Homosexual Middle School

By Kathleen Gilbert

MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin, January 8, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Milwaukee's Alliance School, one of the few officially "gay-friendly"  high schools in the country, has been given clearance to extend their pro-homosexual curriculum to sixth, seventh, and eighth graders.

The proposal went through easily last month, with the city's board of education unanimously approving it by default, as it was not pulled for further discussion or a vote.  Tina Owen, Lead Teacher of Alliance, said they would be accepting applications from middle-school-age children for the 2009-10 school year immediately.

Marty Lexmond, the director of school innovation for Milwaukee Public Schools, told U.S. News and World Report that such an institution was needed to help adolescents, who are now increasingly publicly identifying their sexual orientation as early as middle school.

Laurie Higgins of the Illinois Family Institute was dismayed that the motion went through with no discernable opposition.

"I'm stunned that the religious leaders, the Christian pastors in Milwaukee, did not rise up in righteous indignation against this school," lamented Higgins. "That is what I find perhaps equally [as] troubling, if not more so."

"I think it's unconscionable to be affirming this in public schools," said Higgins. "This is not an issue for public schools. And kids at 11- and 12- and 13- and 14-[years of age] are confused on many issues - sexuality [being] one of them."
 
Regina Griggs, executive director of the group Parents and Friends of Ex-Gays and Gays (PFOX), agreed.

"To affirm an 11-year-old? Please," said Griggs. "They haven't even gone through puberty, but they know that they want to have sex with other men and women? I'm sorry, but it's ridiculous."

The original Alliance high school opened four years ago, also with little opposition. Other similar plans across the country, however, have not had it as easy as the Milwaukee school.

In Chicago, plans for a "gay-friendly" high school were recently delayed due to concerns from both sides of the debate, as some feared that the plans amounted to segregating homosexuals.  And when Manhattan's Harvey Milk High School opened in 2003, named for an openly homosexual politician of the 1970s, students met with protesters outside the school's doors.

Middle School? Aanyone in Middle School shouldn’t be aware about sex.

[weegee]

The Sex Positive crowd believe they should already be experimenting, er “exploring”.

[scfischer7]

Why on earth on liberals so absolutely obsessed with their “sexuality” and the “freedom” of such..??

[444Flyer]

Thanks for that information and link. I had never heard the term before. It’s a further assault on the Judeo-Christian standards of our nation.

The children of this experimentalism will one day destroy their abusers or lay waste to their own progeny.

I understand the sentiment, no one wants this to last generations. But to think that the victims of the one generation will turn on their oppressors is not borne out by history.

What happens is that the victims stay victims or become oppressors, in one way or another. The dynamic is learned, it repeats.

Very few can break out of the cycle -- unaided. But of those few, even those helped out of the cycle -- they always carry a burden, a damage. Speaking specifically to the homosexuality, to the sexual abuse. We, the sane, can help those few who want to break the cycle, and build up other parts of their lives, but the damage once done is done. Only G-d can help them past it, if that is possible.

We can help the recovered become fully functioning as adults and parents, but once damaged they must always be watched for the damage seeks a hold outside. With help and care they can raise good children, and grow to old age.

It is we the sane who must hold the oppressors accountable, and isolate them. I would use a stronger term than "isolate" but it would be misinterpreted. Yet we must erase their effect -- their curriculum, their recruiting material, their camps and dens. It is poison. By erase I mean remove the material from the easy public way. Sanitation.

Let it be treated like a biohazard. For it is.

[HoosierHawk]

And the topic of "sex-negativity," (a weird term, I confess), is highly diputed.

[annalex]

segregating homosexuals

Hm, here's a thought.

[Pinkbell]

Oh good, now we can have public schools for those who identify as Christians.... Never mind.

[LibertyRocks]

Do you happen to have a source for that statement? I am also assuming that you are talking about the American Pediatrics Association? I honestly find this very hard to believe that they would suggest that Child Molestation, or Child Rape is beneficial in any way, shape, or form.
