Schools Approve Porn Edu.
2002 WorldNetDaily.com.
Instructions on homosexual sodomy and a glorified account of lesbian
pedophilia are among the instructional materials approved by the Los Angeles
Unified School District for use in "diversity" and "safety" programs being
presented to elementary through high school students.
The sexually explicit materials promoting homosexuality were highlighted
late last week at a California State Assembly committee hearing. Assemblyman
Dennis Mountjoy, R-Monrovia, provided excerpts in support of his legislative
bill AB 1326, which is aimed at prohibiting the promotion of homosexuality
in public education. The measure was summarily defeated without discussion.
"The material is being put forward under the guise of tolerance and
diversity, but it's inappropriate. It's lewd and lascivious ... and is darn
embarrassing. Here I sit in my office reading my porn. It made me turn red,
and I don't easily turn red," Mountjoy told WorldNetDaily. Mountjoy
concludes the committee's vote against his bill sanctions continued use of
the material in public schools.
Among the materials is a "Models of Pride II" reading list consisting of
"a few of the many titles that can help you deal with issues, and help
parents understand and accept their gay and lesbian children."
"Young, Gay & Proud," "One Teenager In 10: Writings by Gay & Lesbian Youth"
and "Homophobia as Child Abuse" are three of the 27 recommended titles.
"I challenge every parent and school board member to review these books and
decide if they are appropriate for our children," said Mountjoy, "If you
have trouble finding them, contact the LAUSD. They can give you the names of
the 'adult' bookstores they recommend."
In one excerpt from "Young, Gay, & Proud," the author writes: "There are a
lots of ways for gay men to have enjoyable sex. ... It's up to you to find
out what you like and how you like to do it. ... Jerking off is a fun, safe
and healthy way for guys to enjoy our bodies and fantasies." The author goes
on to provide explicit details of how "gay men can make love." A note of
encouragement follows profanity-laced tips on performing anal sex: "You may
have to practice a bit before it starts feeling really good."
In "One Teenager in Ten: Writings by Gay & Lesbian Youth," 16-year-old Amy
relates the blow-by-blow details of her sexual encounter at the age of 12
with her dance teacher, aged 23. The encounter reportedly happened at a
hotel after the teacher "asked [her] to give a special dance presentation in
another city" over the weekend. Amy praises her teacher for bringing her
"out" and for the relationship that continued for three years following that
encounter. The "very conservative Baptist" later explains that her "parents
do not know or suspect" and states, "I think finding out that people think
homosexuality is bad made me more firm in my desire to stay a lesbian
regardless of what would happen to me."
A two-page magazine article displayed at Hollywood High School under the
caption, "The Gay Rapper," and obtained by WorldNetDaily is too profane and
obscene to be quoted.
"Oral copulation is a criminal offense. They're condoning breaking the
law," Mountjoy stressed. Under California penal code section 286, sodomy
with another person who is under 18 is punishable by imprisonment for a
year, and sodomy with another person under 16 is a felony.
"It's more than amazing - it's completely shocking, and every parent and
grandparent should be outraged," said Randy Thomasson, executive director of
Campaign for California Families, one of three organizations that registered
support for Mountjoy's bill. "When asked whether to protect kids from being
brainwashed to accept homosexuality and consider gay sex practices, [the
Assembly Education Committee members] say, 'no, we want homosexuality
included in what every child should know.'"
Repeated calls to the communications office for LAUSD for comment on the
materials have not been returned.
Thirty-nine groups opposed Mountjoy's bill, including the American Civil
Liberties Union, the Anti-Defamation League, California Federation of
Teachers, Planned Parenthood, the Sacramento and San Diego chapters of the
Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network and nine other
homosexual-advocacy organizations.
The California Alliance for Pride and Equality argues, "This bill may be
unconstitutional, as it is so vague and over broad that it infringes upon
the First Amendment right of students, teachers, and administrators alike.
Gay/straight student alliance clubs will be barred from forming in violation
of the First Amendment and federal Equal Access (20 U.S.C section 4071-4074)
that establish the requirement of equal treatment for all non-curriculum
related clubs."
Downs v. Los Angeles Unified School District.
The instructional materials promoting homosexuality came to light under
court order in a federal lawsuit. In 1998, Special Education teacher Robert
Downs raised objection to a hallway bulletin board posted by staff members
each year at Doris S. Leichman High School filled with items promoting
homosexuality in honor of district-designated "Gay and Lesbian Awareness
Month."
"The display board consisted of clippings about homosexual partner benefits
and depicting victories of homosexual rights [advocates]. ... There was a
picture of two homosexual men together calling them a family and one with
children as family. ... It was one-sided," Downs told WorldNetDaily. When he
complained to the principal, the teacher of 22 years was allowed to post
opposing material on a bulletin board. But after the principal received
staff complaints that his material was "disrespectful," "offensive,"
"upsetting," "objectionable" and "derogatory," he was ordered to take it
down and threatened with disciplinary action.
"They could just complain and I was ordered to remove mine ... and I would
complain about theirs and nothing would ever happen," said Downs. "The
principal said if I didn't like it, I could walk with my head down. I'm not
going to walk with my head down." Instead, Downs sued, claiming his
constitutionally protected free-speech rights were being violated.
The district took the position that the bulletin boards were not
free-speech zones but contained approved curriculum material. That argument
prompted a court order for the district to produce everything posted on
bulletin boards on schools throughout the district in observance of "Gay and
Lesbian Awareness Month." Four boxes of material collected from 50 of the
approximately 650 schools in the district were produced.
"There were ads for porn movies and where kids can go to see them and ads
for sex boutiques," describes Downs. "When we saw the filth, the free-speech
issue was no longer important. Getting the filth out of the public schools
[became] the focus." The "filth," however, was precluded from Downs' court
case but has been allowed in a sequel suit filed on behalf of a LAUSD
student. That case is pending in the 9th Circuit Court.
LAUSD's legal department referred WorldNetDaily to its outside counsel for
comment on the lawsuits. Calls to the law firm have not been returned.
The school district prevailed in Downs' suit with a summary judgment in its
favor in district court, affirmed by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in
September 2000. Judge Stephen Trott wrote the appellate court's opinion that
"We do not face an example of the government opening up a forum for either
unlimited or limited public discussion. Instead, we face an example of the
government opening up its own mouth: LAUSD, by issuing Memorandum No. 111,
and Leichman High, by setting up the Gay and Lesbian Awareness bulletin
boards. The bulletin boards served as an expressive vehicle for the school
board's policy of 'Educating for Diversity.'"
Promoting 'diversity' and 'safety'.
The California Student Safety and Violence Prevention Act of 2000 required
the State Board of Education to revise state curriculum to "include human
relations education, with the aim of fostering an appreciation of the
diversity of California's population and discouraging the development of
discriminatory attitudes and practices. ... Acknowledge lesbian, gay,
bisexual, and transgender historical figures, events, concepts, and issues
in the revisions of content standards and curriculum frameworks, when
appropriate. Identify and expand the available lesbian, gay, bisexual, and
transgender resources for school library materials. ... Propose legislative
or budget language to fund research of promising programs preventing
discrimination, harassment and violence based on actual or perceived sexual
orientation and gender identity."
The board cites studies indicating lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender
youth to be at greater risk for being victimized and more likely to
experience anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, to abuse substances and
contemplate or attempt suicide. According to the California Alliance for
Pride and Equality , "Students who describe themselves as lesbian or gay are
five times more likely to miss school because of felling [sic] unsafe.
Twenty-eight percent are forced to drop-out."
The 2000 statutes required schools to prevent any "hate-motivated
incident," which is defined as "an act or attempted act which constitutes an
expression of hostility against a person or property or institution because
of the victim's real or perceived race, religion, disability, gender,
nationality or sexual orientation. This may include using bigoted insults,
taunts, or slurs, distributing or posting hate-group literature or posters,
defacing, removing, or destroying posted materials or announcements, posting
or circulating demeaning jokes or leaflets."
The 2000 statutes picked up where the 1999 Carl Washington School Safety
and Violence Prevention Act left off, tapping into $100 million allocated by
the legislature for "preventing and responding to acts of hate violence."
In addition to being bound by state statutes to promote homosexuality in
its "diversity" and "safety" programs, schools face the threat of lawsuits
by advocacy groups such as the Gay Lesbian and Straight Education Network if
they fail to address "student-on-student abuse based on sexual orientation."
On its website , GLSEN applauds a "landmark settlement" received by a
Pennsylvania 'gay' teen.
Said Executive Director Kevin Jennings, "The court's decision to award
19-year-old Timothy Dahle with a settlement of $312,000 to compensate for
the pervasive anti-gay abuse he faced in the Titusville Area School District
is breathtaking." Jennings further concludes, "There are clear lessons to be
learned by school administrators and staff ... that teachers and staff take
a risk - a risk that can have dire fiscal implications on their districts -
when this kind of maltreatment goes unchecked."
There is evidence "diversity" programs that promote homosexuality are
effective. A Hamilton College Gay Issues poll released in August finds
two-thirds of high school graduates favor legal recognition of homosexual
marriages, 71 percent believe sexual relations between same-sex adults
should be legal, and 71 percent of graduates would allow 'gay' men to serve
as Scout leaders.
