For heaven sakes, madg, learn to read more thoroughly.
"The entire purpose of that isolated grant is (was) for some schools to assist other schools."
Under the "Prioities" section of the DOE/GLSEN grant is a list of requirements that "each grant recipient will" perform. One of those requirements is to "conduct a workshop on the GSA Mentoring Program at one regional conference of the Department of Education and the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network (GLSEN).
"None of that money was given to GLSEN, it went directly to the schools."
The grant specifically provides taxpayer funding for this required workshop. GLSEN does not have to fund the workshop, the state funds it through the grant. GLSEN was a paid consultant to the Mass DOE. GLSEN was paid with taxpayer money to develop homosexual oriented programs, such as the one that funds the creation of GSA's in public schools. GLSEN, as a paid consultant, gets the DOE to fund grants that will be used, in part, to conduct workshops at the DOE/GLSEN conference. GLSEN gets a free ride on this one - at taxpayer expense.
