The problem is that the liberals and the perverts claim they are not promoting homosexuality, they are merely "educating" the students about accepting those who are homosexual. But no matter what they claim, they are simply trolling for more impressionable youngsters with the intention of swaying them over to the dark side.

Given the perpetual direction of the socialist/abominable democRATS of Kalifornia across a myriad of issues: homosexuality, guns, immigration, etc. and "the big one" to occur any time; why would anyone with half a brain stay there??

"He explained and displayed the materials he has collected under court order that were being used for LAUSD's "Models of Pride 2" diversity training. Believe me when I tell you that this material is grossly inappropriate to be used in our schools under the guise of "safety" or "diversity" training or anything else. In my view, the material is pornographic and obscene."


No surprises there - and it's not just CA...

From For The Children, Inc:

Listen to Mass. Depts of Education and Health instruct children on the mechanics of homosexuality.

"On March 25, 2000 the Massachusetts Departments of Education and Health teamed up with the national gay and lesbian group GLSEN (Gay, Lesbian, Straight Education Network) and conducted a conference for school children and educators. The conference was held under the guise of tolerance and safe schools. However, as the Parent's Rights Coalition discovered, this conference was about teaching children the unsafe mechanics of homosexuality. Following the conference, organizers denied claims of misconduct made by the Parent's Rights Coalition. Organizers were forced to concede the truth after the Parent's Rights Coalition made public an audio recording from the conference, which substantiated their claims..."


GLSEN Encourages Teens In Anal SEX "Don't give up."

"...If this presents a realistic look into the life of a child struggling with same sex desires then these children are seduced/molested at an alarmingly high rate and engage in dangerous/abusive sexual activity at a very young age. What's worse is that the adults who purport to care most about them (the editor of this book for example) present this sexual abuse as if they were tender "coming of age" stories. As if the children struggling with same sex desires are showing how healthy they are by engaging in sex with adults and by having sexual encounters regularly beginning at a very young age.

And, the message is clear, if "straight" kids don't want to be closed-minded, if they want to be "open" and "free" they'll mimic the homosexual sexual behavior and promiscuity related in these books.

In several stories intense sexual activity as a child is presented as normal and healthy, even child/adult sex is presented without question. Five and six year old's who regularly engaged in sex are described as children "who were willing" to explore their sexuality "to it's fullest extent." Many stories fondly recount a youthful sexual encounter with a much older man or woman. Sexual promiscuity and engaging in sex as a child/teenager is presented as "sexual freedom".

Heterosexual or "questioning" youth are encouraged to try same sex intercourse because, the Kinseyin theory is repeated over and over, "Everyone's really gay or bisexual." and "You won't know if you like it until you try it."..."

(You'll find the book mentioned on GLSEN's recommended reading list - Young, Gay and Proud! - here and other GLSEN recommended reading lists here).


How GLSEN Encourages Student Experimentation With Homosexuality - GLSEN Manual

"GLSEN's manual "Tackling Gay Issues In School" outlines classroom lessons and staff development activities. Amazingly, many of these lessons assume that students even in middle school could be "fluid" in their sexual feelings and behavior.

So, why does GLSEN claim publicly that kids aren't influenced by pro-homosexual school activities and material?..."


"Recommended Reading for Teenagers? A Closer Look at P-FLAG"

"The well-known and respected national organization "Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays" (P-FLAG) serves as a support group for parents seeking guidance for their homosexual children. P-FLAG is recommended as a resource group by the U.S. Department of Education and U.S. Department of Justice in its upcoming manual, "Preventing Youth Hate Crime." Many schools, community agencies, and even nationally syndicated newspaper columnists refer families to it. P-FLAG has affiliates in all 50 states, with about 70,000 families among its membership.

A look at some of P-FLAG's literature and recommended books, however, reveals an approach to child guidance which is consistently both sexually and socially radical. First-person stories aimed at teens tell in pornographic detail of the delight of a young girl's sexual seduction by her lesbian teacher; of gay relationships between teenage boys and much older men; and of the precise how-to's of masturbation. Teenagers are specifically encouraged to use only their feelings as a guide to sexual behavior; to be their own judge of what is right and wrong; and to "have fun" experimenting. If a sexual behavior feels good, the logic says, it will tell them "who they are." Teenagers are encouraged to see religious traditionalists as mean-spirited and hypocritical, while at the same time, to see gay consciousness as "sacred." Were similar books recommended by parenting groups for "straight" teenagers, they would be considered violations of community standards of decency..."

(PFLAG's recommended reading list can be found here).


The Invasion of American Education

"They say the way California goes today, the nation will go tomorrow. Well, right now homosexual activists are enjoying victory after victory in the California schools. They are behind a whole series of bills that actively encourage students to appreciate homosexuals and even embrace their lifestyle...

Gay lobbyist Eric Astacaan, from the California Alliance for Pride & Equality, argues that these bills are just aimed at protecting gay students. He says many have faced "being followed in the restrooms and being taunted and being pushed around, shoved around, to the point some of these students were so afraid to go to school because of being physically assaulted."

Backers of these bills say they just want to make sure that homosexual students can feel safe and not discriminated against in the California schools. But opponents warn this is much more about actively promoting homosexuality.

For instance, the book Young, Gay and Proud is recommended reading in the Los Angeles school district. It starts out, "There are lots of ways for gay men to have enjoyable sex." Then it goes on in graphic detail to describe those sexual practices.

In a family setting, we can only hint at how graphic the book’s descriptions really are, but it lays out how to have each kind of sex with yourself or a gay partner. Here's another quote: "In sex there are no rules. One of the great things about being a gay person is that we're not held back by a lot of the limits and fears of heterosexual society."

Another recommended book features fond memories from 16-year-old Amy who was seduced by a teacher. The book quotes her as saying, "I have been a lesbian since I was twelve. I had known my dance teacher for three years before she brought me out." Amy then graphically describes the sex.

The Los Angeles school district recommends students go get books like these at a West Hollywood porn shop. There, the kids will find free magazines containing ads soliciting sex.

But some of these same magazines, like Lesbian News, may already be on display right in their own schools. At one middle school, the assistant principal herself put the magazines out at the specific request of the principal. Therein the kids would find invitations to homosexual pool parties, erotic clubs and gay date lines, as well as ads for sexual paraphernalia and homosexual sex movies..."

First AIDS Education, Then "Safe Schools," Then Gay Advocacy


"Links to Pornographic Websites

PTRS discovered, and brought to the District's attention, direct links from the GLSEN Internet homepage to extremely pornographic sites--one of which is maintained by the company for which Chelle Mileur (of the PRIDE Foundation book grant) is an executive. The District did take steps to block access to the pornographic sites on school computers, but refused to criticize GLSEN for placing the links on its site in the first place.

Previously, PTRS had notified the District that many of the books on the PRIDE booklist were published by Alyson Publications, a major publisher of homosexual pornography. The District ignored our concern. Some of the Alyson publications, including "One Teenager in Ten," had already been placed in the schools. These books encourage teens to, among other things, go to gay bars and have sex with adults to see if they like it. Alyson recently published "Becoming Visible," a how-to on introducing the homosexual agenda into the public schools.

The District's position regarding parents' concerns about gay-affirming information in schools--outside the context of sexuality instruction--is that it is not required to get parental approval for curriculum, and parents have no right to opt out of instruction with which they disagree. Notwithstanding, the District has asked school principals and teachers to work with parents "to the fullest extent practicable" consistent with the school's "ability to educate all children."

In practice, this has meant that parents are on their own to negotiate with individual teachers and principals, and are without legal or procedural options when a teacher or principal refuses to cooperate with them..."


It's Elementary: Gay and Lesbian Issues in the Classroom

"...It's Elementary is alarming because the reactions of people in the video--adults, youth, and especially the children--indicate that the foundation for acceptance of homosexuality as a legitimate, healthy alternative to heterosexuality has already been successfully laid down in our country. In fact, within an unknown but growing number of American schools and classrooms, both public and private, affirmation of a sexually deviant minority has been advanced to a much greater degree than most citizens realize.

After I shared this film with the parents of a gay young adult, the couple labeled this a "bait and switch" vehicle. It's Elementary, they observed, seemed to be asking for respect for homosexual people; in reality, it was preaching respect for the homosexual condition. They believed the producers were using a subtle process of effectively and deceptively re-educating children, especially young children, incrementally to the point of accepting behavior that would ordinarily be seen as outside the norm....

This "sanitized presentation" of homosexuality, as the reviewing parents described it, obviously was intended to make it hard for the kids watching the film to discern facts from propaganda. They cited one boy's statement, describing the effect this lesson on homosexuality had had on him: "It's kind of like vegetables: you don't know [you'll like homosexuality] until you try."

"What's the big whoop?" asked another child flippantly in response to tales of some parental concerns. Some children were even outspokenly critical of their own parents' negative attitudes about homosexuality..."


From Tolerance to Affirmation: One School's Experience with a Gay-Affirmative Program

"...From its quiet beginnings as a non-sanctioned gathering concerned with "safety," the group has now become a fully sanctioned, gay-pride organization..."

Some Things You May Not Know About Homosexuality - published by the Minnesota Family Council


" 7. Gay Activists’ Inroads Into the School System

With little resistance from school boards and administrations, gay activist groups such as GLSEN (Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network), GLAAD (Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation), Human Rights Campaign, and PFLAG (Parents, Families, and Friends of Lesbians and Gays), among others, are working to establish an environment in schools, through gay-oriented peer mediation, counseling, and the creation of student led organizations such as GSA (Gay-Straight Alliance), that encourages individuals of confused sexuality to "come out of the closet" and individuals of a heterosexual orientation to embrace and celebrate this "diversity." "Educators need to be supportive of homosexuality, even if we have no students who are out of the closet," comments one educator. 28 What have been the fruits of these concerted, systematic efforts to use the public school system as a vehicle for inundating students with a deluge of propaganda and “sensitivity training” programs?:

· The Out for Equity/Out for Good manual used by the Minneapolis and Saint Paul School systems as a part of their Safe Schools program insists that current curriculum must be reassessed because of its tacit bias. The manual suggests that teachers “need to incorporate GLBT (gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered) issues throughout the curriculum… Teachers can address the impact of sexual identity on works by GLBT people already included in our curriculum, such as the novels of Virginia Woolf, the music of Tchaikovsky, or the poetry of Walt Whitman. Finally, teachers can undo the “hidden heterosexism” of the curriculum such as the exclusive use of opposite-sex couples in math word problems and foreign language exercises.” 29

· The manual refers educators to something called “Riddle’s Scale of Homophobia: Attitudes Toward Differences.” The ratings on this scale, in order from most homophobic to least, are “Repulsion, Pity, Tolerance, Acceptance, Support, Admiration, Appreciation, and Nurturance.” Acceptance, which the scale says “makes accommodation for another’s differences,” is insufficient. All educators have a minimal responsibility to be at the Support level that “works to safeguard the rights of those who are different.”

· Among the manual’s guidelines for GLBT Youth Counselors is the instruction to “take political action in the larger society to confront sexism, homophobia, and heterosexism. Advocate for legislative and social reform.”At Silverlake High School in Kingston, MA, the ninth grade textbook teaches that "sexuality is a matter of trial and error and personal choice," and "Testing your ability to function sexually and give pleasure to another person may be less threatening in the early teens with people of your own sex.” Also, "You may come to the conclusion that growing up means rejecting the values of your parents." 30

· In Framingham, students were asked: "Is it possible that heterosexuality is a phase you will grow out of?" "Are you heterosexual because you fear the same sex?" "If you've never slept with anyone of the same sex, how do you do know you wouldn't prefer it?" "Is it possible you need a good gay experience?" The principal gave this taciturn reply, "This was not advocacy--just thoughtful and constructive lessons in tolerance." 31

· David La Fontaine, the administrator of the MA Governor’s Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth, has commented that in confidential homosexuality counseling courses, they take a child they feel is confused about his sexuality and without his parents' knowledge and consent, they bring him to a homosexual counselor to help him talk through this. In addition, he defends this practice because parents' values need to be improved upon. 32"

(Gay) School Days

"What would schools look like if they were run by homosexual activists? In California, parents are learning the answer.

PARENTAL ADVISORY: Portions of this article may be inappropriate for young readers.

"...All the second- through fifth-graders at Pleasant Valley School had been called to an assembly, where they learned slogans like "I'm gay and it's OK," reinforced by various skits-like one in which Rapunzel cut her hair and ran away with her girlfriend. The show made an impact. "Daddy, am I a lesbian?" one third-grade girl asked. "I like girls better than boys." The group behind the assembly bore an innocent-sounding name, Cootie Shots. But it turned out to be an offshoot of Fringe Benefits, a theater group that gets public funds for "tolerance of diversity" performances in high schools and middle schools throughout the Los Angeles Unified School District. Now the group is targeting much younger kids, because-in the words of a longtime Fringe Benefits booster, Steven Hicks of the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) of Los Angeles-"It is imperative to begin addressing these issues in the elementary schools as early as possible."..."


Psychiatrist "Reassures" Parents About Lesbian Experimentation

"...The article describes a parent-faculty meeting at The Spence School, a private enclave overlooking Central Park, where several eighth-grade girls had declared themselves "bisexual." The school called in a Harvard-educated psychiatrist, Dr. Justin Richardson--himself a gay man--to reassure the parents that lesbian experimentation is common, and that it was too soon to know if they would be lesbians or heterosexuals.

At the all-girl Brearly School two weeks earlier, Dr. Richardson told a parent group to advise their daughters as young as nine years old that they, too, may have sex with other girls in the future. "It is a good idea," he said, "to mention that people have sex with members of the same sex sometimes, and that when they grow up they may have friends that do that--and that it may be something that they themselves do."

"A small but growing number of students," the Times article reported, "have come out at these schools, or at least say that bisexuality is stylish." Parents are concerned, and Dr. Richardson--"pedigreed, carefully-spoken, determinedly nonthreatening--has become the schools' gay issues consultant of choice" because he is "sane and clear," according to the Spence headmaster..."

'Gay' group sponsors breast-removal workshop


"The nation's largest homosexual lobby group is sponsoring a conference this weekend for "female-to-male" "transgenders" that will include sessions on "chest surgery" for young women who want to have their breasts removed in their quest to become "transmen."...

Mills said most of the girls attending last year's "chest surgery" workshops at True Spirit were in their 20s, but some attending the conference were teen-agers. At one point, Mills said she heard a discussion on how teens could bypass their parents' authority to obtain masculinizing hormones.

At this year's conference, organizers will be checking IDs for underage youth, who will be forbidden from attending the more sexualized workshops. However, the True Spirit website states, "The following topics will not have age restrictions: Surgical, safer sex, dating/intimacy, health, personal safety." In other words, minors could still attend sessions devoted to sexual issues and self-mutilation..."

Lawmakers 'sanction' use of district-approved 'porn'

Assemblyman decries 'lewd and lascivious' training materials promoting homosexuality

"Instructions on homosexual sodomy and a glorified account of lesbian pedophilia are among the instructional materials approved by the Los Angeles Unified School District for use in "diversity" and "safety" programs being presented to elementary through high school students.

The sexually explicit materials promoting homosexuality were highlighted late last week at a California State Assembly committee hearing. Assemblyman Dennis Mountjoy, R-Monrovia, provided excerpts in support of his legislative bill AB 1326, which is aimed at prohibiting the promotion of homosexuality in public education. The measure was summarily defeated without discussion.

"The material is being put forward under the guise of tolerance and diversity, but it's inappropriate. It's lewd and lascivious ... and is darn embarrassing. Here I sit in my office reading my porn. It made me turn red, and I don't easily turn red," Mountjoy told WorldNetDaily. Mountjoy concludes the committee's vote against his bill sanctions continued use of the material in public schools..."


Schools sued over pro-homosexual skits

Parents' orders to opt-out kids from 'Cootie Shots' overlooked

"The Pacific Justice Institute recently filed a lawsuit, on behalf of parents, against the Novato Unified School District in Novato, Calif., for authorizing pro-homosexual assemblies without any prior notice or parental consent...

News of the lawsuit comes on the heels of California Assemblyman Dennis Mountjoy's failed attempt to prohibit the promotion of homosexuality in public schools, which he sees as infringing on the rights of parents. Mountjoy especially takes issue with the "lewd and lascivious" materials used in schools to promote homosexuality. As WorldNetDaily reported last month, instructions on homosexual sodomy and a glorified account of lesbian pedophilia are among the instructional materials approved by the Los Angeles Unified School District for use in a "diversity" curriculum being presented to elementary through high school students. The materials were referenced by Mountjoy before the state Assembly education committee..."

FRIDAY, FEBRUAARY 15, 2002

In awarding custody of three teen-agers to their father over their gay mother, the chief justice of the Alabama Supreme Court on Friday wrote that homosexuality is "an inherent evil" and shouldn't be tolerated. The nine-judge panel ruled unanimously in favor of a Birmingham man and against his ex-wife, who now lives with her gay partner in southern California...... Chief Justice Roy Moore wrote that the mother's relationship made her an unfit parent and that homosexuality is "abhorrent, immoral, detestable, a crime against nature, and a violation of the laws of nature."

Truth and Justice still prevail.
Keep fighting the good fight.

High School Sophomore Attends Sadistic Sex Party Linked to Homosexual Task Force ‘Creating Change’ Conference

"On Friday night, a high school sophomore attended a sadomasochistic sex party at the Hyatt Regency Hotel here that was advertised by a speaker at the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force’s "Creating Change" conference, according to another panelist at the event.

As a speaker at a workshop titled "Your Eyes Say Yes But the Law Says No," Andrew Park, executive director of the Philadelphia-based Center for Lesbian and Gay Civil Rights, said, "There are 14- and 15-year-olds at this conference. There was somebody at the reception yesterday who was a tenth-grader." This reporter attended the "Your Eyes Say Yes" session.

The "reception" to which Park referred was actually a "BDSM" (Bondage & Discipline, Sadism & Masochism) sadistic sex party held Friday night and advertised earlier that day by a speaker at another workshop, entitled "Sex and Politics," at Creating Change. The homosexual grassroots conference, held every year by the Task Force, drew over 2,000 homosexual activists to this Midwestern city...

SM "play" refers to sadistic acts carried out among "players," which includes beating, whipping, and the intentional humiliation of one person by another. (I did not attend the SM party that evening.) Sadomasochism activists contend their activities — which include "slave-master" relationships — are not abusive because they are "safe, sane, and consensual..."

The Task Force has strengthened its ties to the emerging sadomasochism lobby, allowing several sessions to be led by members of NCSF, which lobbies police agencies not to make arrests at violence-laden SM "parties"..."
