The continued mistake all the ilk of glsen make is very simple:
If this is about bullying, then it should be made to directly stop the bully's behavior.
There is no need to identify specific sexual conduct.

You use the existing common sense rules that exist and common sense adult behvior.
"No, you don't hit people in school for any reason."
Off campus, that is a police matter.
As a parent I would want to know if the teacher of my child has anything to do with these materials.
NO ten year old should be considering ANY sexual behavior.

The only success glsen will do is to make the existing bullys
hurt children in a more sensitive way.

Q:Is there not some form of school guidelines about what
sexual conduct is accepable in school? A: No sex in school.
They should put something in writing.

So whose up for re-election?
Is trenchy still alive?

all the ilk of glsen

They’re not ilk; they’re people, just like you.

If this is about bullying, then it should be made to directly stop the bully's behavior.

That hasn’t seemed to work. In fact there is evidence that suggests the specific targeting of perceived homosexual students is widespread in our school systems and either ignored or (in some cases) subtlety encouraged by teachers. That’s wrong and if GLSEN can help without costing the taxpayers any money, I’m all for it.

There is no need to identify specific sexual conduct.

I agree. There is no need to discuss sex acts. There is however a need to teach respect.

You use the existing common sense rules that exist and common sense adult behvior.

That’s been tried many times, and hasn’t seemed to work.

NO ten year old should be considering ANY sexual behavior.

Once again, I agree. If anyone undermines parental rights in this regards, they need to leave the school system.

The only success glsen will do is to make the existing bullys hurt children in a more sensitive way.

Maybe, maybe not. We won’t know until we try – and as I mentioned before, it’s free.

A: No sex in school. They should put something in writing.

They did. They put in an amendment to the resolution emphasizing the power of the school board to remove GLSEN at any time.

So whose up for re-election? Is trenchy still alive?

I’m not sure. I don’t know enough about the people who make up my local government as I should. I’m working to change this.
