However, without political pressure, school administrators and teachers would probably treat each discrimination case independently and use disciplinary action, if necessary. That's exactly what happened when anti-Semitism and discrimination against blacks were widespread.

Look at all them "school administrators and teachers"!

BTW, the summary of the very next article in the journal states: "In this study, 202 consumers of sexual orientation conversion interventions were interviewed to answer these questions. The results indicated that a majority failed to change sexual orientation, and many reported that they associated harm with conversion interventions. A minority reported feeling helped, although not necessarily with their original goal of changing sexual orientation."

Frankly, I doubt it's the "brainwashing" by itself that's being objected to -- it's the direction such "brainwashing" goes.

This “study” was a volunteer study and has no value in determining the real success and failure rate. Should we advertise on Exodus and NARTH for volunteers to see if it has the same success rate? You should really do your homework before you proffer such foolishness.

Brainwashing is a myth in spy novels. Change doesn’t happen unless there’s a desire to make it happen. Funny how you see a desire to change as “brainwashing”, it’s like you don’t want someone with a behavioral disorder get well. You’re a pathetic person.
