Which is why homosexual organizations like GLSEN need to be removed from the public schools.

Hatch Amendment Letter - Parental Consent Form for use in the Public Schools
"You can forget trying to persuade the masses that homosexuality is a good thing. But if only you can get them to think that it is just another thing, with a shrug of their shoulders, then your battle for legal and social rights is virtually won." So wrote Marshall K. Kirk and Erastes Pill in Guide magazine, November 1987.
All too often, that battle, promulgated by homosexual activists, is being waged and won in area schools, according to veteran educator Dick Carpenter, Focus on the Family’s education policy analyst.
Carpenter told the crowd at a recent "Love Won Out" conference in Charlotte that schools across America are being flooded with literature, videos, and testimonials advocating the pro-homosexual perspective in public education... He said the pro-homosexual agenda has so invaded curricula that teachers are often forced to teach things with which they disagree or know to be false. And often, if they resist, they are labeled as "hate-mongers" or "homophobes." Using information from The Overhauling of Straight America, Carpenter revealed the tactics of homosexual activists who, he said, had gone to great lengths to spread inaccurate data in an attempt to portray homosexuals as victims and help give protectors a just cause.
He said homosexual organizations such as GLSEN (Gay Lesbian Straight Education Network) get a stronghold on school systems by volunteering to educate school officials about the need to pass non-discrimination policies in schools, to train teachers to prevent "anti-gay" name calling and to serve as community resources on sexual-orientation issues.
Once inside the door, activists proclaim myths about homosexuality as fact, encourage homosexual teachers to come out of the closet, and start as many Gay Straight Alliances as possible. These GSAs, billed as student clubs that help kids discuss sexuality issues, are in fact just another avenue for homosexual propaganda, Carpenter said.
He said activists also work to change district policies, sometimes in the name of “safe schools,” to offer specific protection to homosexuals, making it possible for the schools to quell all opposition to the lifestyle.
So what can parents do to keep their children from homosexual influences in school? Plenty, Carpenter said, beginning with talking with your child to make sure he gets information about sexuality from you and does not have to rely on his peers.
In addition, he suggested that parents get involved with what is happening at the school through volunteerism, talking with school leaders, etc., and that they take time to review curriculum or resources being used in class..."
