(AgapePress) - A nationally known advocate of traditional family values says while school boards across the country claim they want "tolerance" for homosexuals, the real agenda is something quite different.
The Broward County, Florida, school board has voted to permit a homosexual "tolerance" group to train teachers in what it calls "fighting harassment." The board is endorsing an agreement with the Gay Lesbian Straight Education Network, which will provide the training.
Janet Folger of the Center for Reclaiming America says programs like this have nothing to do with tolerance or diversity. She says according to GLSENs director, it is about bringing the radical homosexual agenda into schools, to indoctrinate children at a young, impressionable age.
"The school board says its about harassment, its about tolerance. Well, what does GLSEN say?" she asks. "The executive director, Kevin Jennings, says that it is about promoting homosexuality. Thats what he said is his mission. Let me read you his quote. He said, Promoting homosexuality -- we can make it happen. That is our mission from this day forward. "
Folger describes the prospects as "frightening." "We had people that went into the GLSEN meetings. And make no mistake, this is not about tolerance in meeting with teachers -- it's about getting to the children," she says. "In fact, it was in that GLSEN meeting, locally held, that they said, 'We need this agreement to get to the children.' "
Folger also has profanity-laced comments from Jennings on tape, where his attitude toward Christianity is clearly stated. "This is what he thinks," Folger says. "He said, I dont care what they think. Drop dead."
Folger says increasingly, school boards across the country are acting as willing accomplices to the radical homosexual agenda.
