Title: "raising hopes"? What kind of hopes?

< homosexual conspiracy rant >

This is nothing more than a recruiting effort by the evil soddomites to enlist our children! The gays want everyone to be gay. If we don't make sure we spend much time hating the gays and being bigots, they'll take over the world and molest all the children. They've already made all the moose gay, and I'm tired of seeing gay cheese. Arrest the soddomites and lock them up for good!

Want persecution and ridicule? Strongly advocate abstinance in our schools...

[remington541]

Any hopes raised with this style of moral climate will only mean more confusion for our young people. Its all propaganda spoon fed to our vulnerable teens by so called main stream liberals.

[Jonx6]

I strongly advocate abstinance from public schools.

In other words: "Fag Hags" form clubs to get together with their homosexual friends. We should not be surprised, as a certain type of woman seems to be attracted to Gay men.

Gay-straight clubs spread through high schools

I’m going to guess, I could be wrong, that it’s OK in these school systems to have clubs based perversion but disallow clubs based on religion. Am I right?

[Don Myers]

Well, the gays are becoming more accepted due to the efforts of the NEA. And they are trying to recruit more kids.

[mikeb704]

Massachusetts, where more than half the high schools have GSAs, is the only state to help finance them.

In the land of Barney Fwank and the Honorable Studds, why is this not surprising?

Home schooling bump.

Somebody gag me with a K-Bar, this is just pathetic. Wow, I must be old fashioned, I thought kids went to school to learn. Boy was I wrong, schools are now for indoctrination, not education.

[crazykatz]

Usually the fag hags are so homely or ultra-fat that no straight guys even look at them anyway....alas, their only chance to have "guys" around...at least those "guys"(gays) like to shop for wonderrrrrrrrrful things!!

[Mr. Bird]

The whole idea is preposterous. Let me bottom-line it: If a student were to go to the school's administration and say he wanted to form a club for him and his friends to discuss who they wanted to have sex with, he'd be drummed out of the office.

But that's exactly what a "Gay-Straight" club is based on, right? We've been told that homosexuals are like everyone else, they just have a different "preference". So, the "diversity" that we are "celebrating" should be the equivalent of a little roundtable discussion among "leg men" and "breast men", right?

For the Gay-Straight Alliance at Stratford High School, progress can be measured in the hallways: These days, only some of its posters get torn down. -------- They must be using a stronger adhesive.

``We were having a lot of problems,'' Burgess said. ``Not one day passed that I wasn't being called a fag.'' ---- Well, take a lesson from it. Stay in that closet, and lock the door.

The GSA's adviser, English teacher Michael Fiorello, is heartened by the high-spirited camaraderie that has developed among the students. ``When I was in high school, if you wanted to experience anything gay, it was going to be dark and dangerous,'' he said. ---- A shining example of public school leadership. I wonder if he finds time to actually teach anything, or if his duties as homo cheerleader keep him too busy.

Other critics say GSAs serve as recruitment centers, drawing students into homosexuality who are still wrestling with their sexual identity.
``You get lonely, mixed-up kids, not getting along with their parents, not doing well in school, and someone tells them, 'It's not your fault,''' said conservative activist Phyllis Schlafly. ``It's simply a recruitment device.'' ------- At last, someone speaks the truth.

You would be right in the case of Plymouth Canton Schools in Michigan. No (zero) religious connotations, not too many American Flags in evidence, but our high schools got a Gay-Straight Alliance. We have teachers out of the closet who want to become counselors so they can help junior high school age boys define their sexuality. We got soccer mommies and union officials who condone this kind of behavior. We got kids who can't read traffic signs and obey them. Everything is beautiful in the peoples republic of PC schools.

This is nothing more than a recruiting effort.....

And, apparently they're succeeding - big time.

Every educrat is a pedophile.

No exceptions.

Two excellent web sites that will help students when they are faced with homosexual indoctrination:

Choice 4 Truth (http://www.choice4truth.com/)

They have two sections - one for parents and one for students/teens. Here's the link for student section:

http://www.choice4truth.com/index-teens.html

There is some really good material under the "Take the Student Pledge" section that kids can use to respond with when they are faced with queer propaganda.

Truthatschool.org (http://www.truthatschool.org/)

This site also has sections for parents and students, but is primarily a web site for students (with lots of good information).

I believe that to effectively fight the homosexual activists in the schools, we need to involve students who will take a stand against them. In order to refute the claims of the homosexual activists, these students will need information and we need to make sure they have it. Please pass this information on.

I'm going to raise my kid to make fun of the gay-straight club kids.
