From Homorality@aol.com Tolerance in schools a homosexual ploy,
conservatives say.
By Robert Stacy McCain, THE WASHINGTON TIMES
Programs to teach tolerance in public schools are actually being used to
promote and encourage homosexuality, conservative activists said in a
Capitol Hill briefing yesterday.
"Homosexual activists have hijacked our schools," California activist Karen
Holgate said at the seminar sponsored by Concerned Women for America (CWA),
a Washington-based Christian conservative group. "If we don't take a stand,
we're going to lose this battle."
By adding the terms "gender" and "sexual orientation" to
anti-discrimination laws, Mrs. Holgate said, California legislators have
enabled that state's public schools to promote the acceptance of
homosexuality "as normal, positive and healthy."
That agenda now begins in elementary grades, where a theater group performs
pro-homosexual skits, including one about a boy who wears a skirt and talks
about being a "queen" in California schools for children as young as second
grade.
Public schools across the country are adopting similar programs, said
Robert H. Knight, director of CWA's Culture and Family Institute.
"Homosexual activists are using the idea of 'safe schools' and
'anti-bullying' campaigns to bring their pro-homosexual message into the
schools," Mr. Knight told a standing-room-only crowd at the Rayburn House
Office Building.
Sex education programs have been "continually redesigned to introduce
children to sex at younger and younger ages," Mr. Knight said. "They are now
entering the final step of the campaign, which is to openly promote
acceptance of homosexuality even among the youngest children."
Mr. Knight cited the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN),
with a $3.5 million annual budget and more than 1,200 members whose mission,
he said, "is to promote homosexuality in the schools under any guise that
works."
He said the largest teachers' union, the National Education Association,
has adopted many of the pro-homosexual positions advocated by GLSEN.
On its Web site (www.glsen.org), GLSEN declares that "homophobia and sexism
undermine a healthy school climate," and states its aim of educating
"teachers, students and the public at large about the damaging effects these
forces have on youth and adults alike." The New York-based group recently
launched a campaign against
"institutionalized heterosexism" in schools.
In a teaching manual called "Tackling Gay Issues in School," GLSEN supplies
teachers with model lesson plans that condemn religious beliefs against
homosexuality as "homophobia" and that label such beliefs "false."
One lesson plan in the GLSEN manual says middle-schoolers "should have the
freedom to explore our sexual orientation and find our own unique expression
of lesbian, bisexual, gay, straight, or any combination of these."
At a GLSEN conference in Boston in March, one seminar titled "Gender in the
Early Childhood Classroom" discussed strategies to "set the tone for
nontraditional gender role play" for pre-schoolers, while a panel of
elementary school teachers talked about using "teachable moments as a means
of addressing LGBT [lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender] issues and gender
identity in the classroom."
GLSEN did not respond to repeated requests for comment from The Washington
Times.
GLSEN describes as "disturbing" the claims of religious groups that
homosexuals can change their behavior. An evangelist who spoke at
yesterday's seminar challenged the GLSEN position.
"No one is born homosexual," said Stephen Bennett, a Connecticut man who
spent 10 years as an active homosexual but is now married and father to two
children. "We should not be encouraging kids to embrace a homosexual
agenda," Mr. Bennett said. "It's a very unloving thing GLSEN and these other
homosexual groups are doing."
