A school district in Maine is apologizing after middle school students learned about homosexual foreplay during what was supposed to be a “Diversity Day” presentation.
“I don’t want my child taught heterosexual foreplay, let alone homosexual foreplay,” outraged parent Kristy Howard told Fox News.
The principal of Gorham Middle School sent a letter to parents apologizing for the graphic nature of the presentation by PRYSM, Proud Rainbow Youth of Southern Maine.
“They went beyond the scope of our intentions and discussed topics that we do not deem appropriate for our middle school,” Robert Riley wrote in a letter obtained by The American Journal. “We do not intend to expose them to ideas that are not within the scope of our teaching about responsible citizenship as it is embedded in our code of conduct.”
The incident occurred two weeks before the state voted to approve gay marriage – and involved a classroom of 25 eighth graders.
Howard’s 13-year-old son was one of those who came home shocked by the presentation’s graphic nature.
“They were talking about sex and if you didn’t have a condom – saran wrap could be used in place of a dental dam,” Howard told Fox News. “It was all new to me.”
Howard said the PRYSM presenters also cursed and questioned whether the children had been taught about safe homosexual sex.
James Hagen, chairman of the school committee, told The American Journal that teachers felt uncomfortable about the presentation and reported it to the principal.
“Teachers were in such shock,” he told the newspaper. “Everyone just froze.”
Principal Riley defended the way the teacher’s handled the situation – noting that the conversation about gay foreplay happened near the end of the presentation.

“This particular day didn’t have anything to do with sex. It had everything to do with tolerance and kindness and trying to eradicate from our building the idea that it’s okay to be mean to each other,” he said.
Oh really? "Tolerance" is a buzzword to get in the door. It's to make people afraid to object to a homosexual lifestyle on moral grounds for fear of being of being ostracized as an intolerant bigot. It's not enough that people are tolerant. They want to and do, as this article illustrates, indoctrinate children into not only accepting, but be open to experimenting with this lifestyle choice; people must redefine marriage; children must be allowed to be adopted by homosexual couples, even if that means shutting down adoption agencies like Catholic Charities.
Have a look at the Facebook comments below the article. Thankfully, there are a lot of people outraged. The libs, however, have appeared as they always do in defense of this.
Moral Absolutes and Homeschool ping!
Call an exterminator.
This is happening more and more as “sex ed” across the country, often they start presentations with “Don’t tell your parents”.
Maine is the same state that also created same sex bathrooms
This is sick! Everyone involved with this “Diversity Day” should be immediately fired.
My, how unexpected! Who could have guessed that a gay activist group that wants to 'educate' children would go beyond the intended scope of their presentation? Who could have guessed that teachers and administrators would either have no idea what to do when a presentation so far out of their field went awry - or that some would intentionally allow it to continue? Clearly this could not have been foreseen - neither in this Maine middle school nor in the dozens of schools where the same thing has happened previously.
Is it a magic letter that restores their innocence?
When the speaker started going down that road of homosexual foreplay - someone should have shut it down right there and not it allowed to continue. This tolerance and diversity crap - its ruining the morals of this nation.
The “public school”, including the “charter school”, is BY FAR, the largest, most expensive, most subversive, and most destructive entitlement program in the country.
The “public school” is better understood as the “government school collective”.
It is silly to imagine that you can fix the public schools, because the very concept itself is collectivist.
Any child that comes out of the government school collective with their moral compass and common sense intact does so in spite of the government school indoctrination, not because of it.
If you want to win the culture war, have lots of children (see my tagline) and homeschool them or form your own school cooperative with your church or synagogue and like-minded friends and relatives.
Nobody loves your children more than you do.
Nobody can teach your children better than you can.
Nobody knows your children better than you do.
Your children would love nothing better than to be taught by you, if you start doing so before they are corrupted by the government school collective.
It is hypocritical for you to submit your children to an authority with whom you fundamentally disagree. And your children will know it.
If you have children, make whatever sacrifices you must to get them out of the public schools.
DO NOT FEED THE BEAST!
Especially not with your own children.
And DO NOT TAKE GOVERNMENT “EDUCATION” MONEY!
He that pays the piper calls the tune, and that’s especially true for any government entitlement program.
I have spoken in several schools and at graduations, and each of those schools had a cut off switch for speakers, with someone assigned to that switch, so they could shut off the microphone. I assume this school had the same option but never considered the possibility that an outside group of gay activists might stray from appropriate topics. It’s not even hard to cut them off - just throw a switch or unplug a power cord.
There are laws against corrupting the morals of a minor and subjecting a minor to sexual predation.
The administrators who arranged this “Diversity Day”, as well as the perverts who gave the demonstration, should be arrested.
Enough is enough.
I disagree. If 80% or 90% of kids will be in the public schools, writing off those kids is a dangerous choice that can lead to a generation voting for the next Obama. Many teachers are conservative, and if more conservatives would go into the schools and share traditional values with the kids, those children would have a better chance in life too. Homeschooling conservatives who do not yet have children or whose children are grown could do this without putting their own children in the public schools. Our own kids are not enough to save America as a free country.
‘Gay” is not about skin color. It is not about whether an individual is male or female nor does it have anything to do with whether that individual is a carpenter, farmer, military member or president.
It’s about psychosomatic compulsions, itchings and urgings experienced by certain males and females. When stupidly enabled by foolish, naive citizens, these itchings and urgings drain into sodomy, incest, rape, pedophilia, pederasty, bestiality, necrophilia, sexual sadism and other individual and social pathologies.
A majority of morally deformed, spiritually apathetic Maine citizens believe ‘gay equality is a morally good thing. A sign of ‘progress.’ Riding the emotional wave of feel-good foolishness they have now voted in favor of ‘gay’ marriage.
All along their children have been paying the price for this dangerous foolishness but with passage of ‘gay’ marriage the price has risen.

What a huge LIE. The liberal principal knew EXACTLY what the intentions were and was working off the idiom that it’s better to ask for forgiveness later. He needs to be fired and the parents need to demand that it happens.
It is war, people. War against all that is decent and Godly.
There can be no end to hostilities until one side is vanquished. The deviants should be feared because we know where they are headed—they want the total power of the state to go after innocent children. Foolish men and women have been coopted to join in their “Civil rights” misadventure.
We need a Josiah (2 Kings 23) who will break down the houses of the sodomites, smash their idols and kill their priests.
It is all part of the Communist plan to destroy America. States need to get rid of their government run schools immediately. All this “diversity” crap is part of their plan. It may already be too late!
Parents who plan to or have homeschooled their kids would not be welcome in the public schools. Heck, they’d never be allowed to graduate from college with a teaching degree.
Control of the public schools began with seizing control of the university education departments. (Take a look at the courses offered by your local college of education.)
Maine voted for Obama.
Obama stands for Homosexual sex.
WTF are they mad about?
Democrats making more slaves. Big surprise.
