Hi Ed, I listened to the meeting on the radio. It appears the measure passed 6-3. I'm pretty dissappointed, mostly for my neighbors in Broward who will be really upset by this. I didn't have the heart to call my buddy at work yet. He's already shelling out big dinero for private school and was hoping to sen his two other children to public school.

After this vote, GLSEN will be in the schools tomorrow morning. That's a fact.

They'll be up in Boca next.

This is not finished yet, though. We'll have to consider our next action now. There are a lot of outraged people down here who need to be focused onto solving this problem.

I was at the meeting. GLSEN didn’t mention anything about sodomizing your children. Perhaps it’s all part of their sophisticated plan to deceive you and destroy America. If so, they are a lot more clever than they look.

I saw a group of people who probably had the s&!t kicked out of them every day in high school because they looked or acted queer. They are trying to stop it from happening to other kids. Good for them. It utterly amazes me that a group of adults would de facto support the bullying of children.

No. GLSEN will be added to a list of sponsored programs for teachers who want information on the subject. And there was an amendment added stressing the Board’s ability to remove the group from that list. I read some of the link posted on this thread, and they painted the group in a rather unfavorable light. Perhaps people should go to the actual site and read what they have to say for themselves. I saw nothing about encouraging students to engage in underage sex and nothing encouraging anyone to adopt a dangerous lifestyle.

After examining the half truths and quotes out of context presented on this thread, then letting the group speak for itself, it’s pretty clear that smear tactics were used. I’m glad the Board saw through them, and I’m glad GLSEN won the day.
