Red Flags to Watch For: Tactics Being Used
to Promote Homosexuality at School
...and Silence Objections 		[ Print ]

Ready to do a little research? Here’s how to find out how much groundwork has been laid in your school system to facilitate acceptance of homosexuality-and, more frighteningly, to silence students, teachers, parents or voters who object.

Find out how many of the following activities and policies are being implemented in your school system:

1. A non-discrimination policy on “sexual orientation” for teachers and students.
It’s usually part of a bigger policy saying, “We do not discriminate based on race, religion, etc.” This policy will be used to label anything the activists don’t like-including too much emphasis on traditional families and heterosexuality-as “discrimination.”

2. An “anti-harassment,” “safe schools” or "anti-bullying" program that singles out sexual orientation.
These programs claim to protect students, but why protect the behaviors of homosexuality, bisexuality and cross-dressing? Conduct codes already exist for actual bullying and real harm to any student. The hidden agenda here is to associate all objections to homosexuality with “hate” and “violence,” thus intimidating those who disagree. The result is that many parents, teachers and students don't speak out about the risks of homosexuality.

3. A homosexual club for students.
Students are trained to be activists who will pressure school boards, be very "out" and visible to other students, and become the darlings of their sympathizers in the media. Club meetings feature "X" rated topics and dwell on rejection of traditional values, particularly religious beliefs that don’t accept homosexuality. “Straight” supporters also attend and may be encouraged to explore alternate sexuality. Students with same sex attractions will be cheered on by club members if they begin this behavior.

4. Diversity or tolerance lessons to stop “homophobia.”
Such lessons equate acceptance of homosexuality with religious/racial tolerance. Many such programs are now in middle and elementary schools. In reality, they portray traditional values ( and thus, parents and communities holding them) as “hateful.” Note: federal and state money sometimes supports these lessons! The “Safe and Drug Free Schools” section of federal education law, and some state education agencies as well, distribute funds to schools for developing and teaching so-called “tolerance” or "anti-bias" lessons. Some lessons classify objections to homosexuality as “bigotry” just like racial prejudice. Many of these programs are blatantly anti-Christian, and oppose traditional values. 

5. Pro-homosexual literature in libraries, and in language and social studies classes.
The number of homosexual-themed novels and storybooks has exploded in response to the demand created in schools; it would be impossible to list all the books being used. Most are “coming out” stories, or tales about children with homosexual parents. Middle and high school books are often very sexually explicit.

6. Special events: days of “diversity,”“pride” days, and a "day of silence."
Organized by a handful of students and teachers, the whole school is intimidated into going along. The goal is to portray homosexuality as a civil right. These school events will soon move down into the elementary school level.

7. Diversity and “sensitivity” training for teachers.
This is done behind the scenes to make teachers support the agenda. Usually, no exceptions are available for teachers who have personal beliefs that differ.

8. AIDS speakers, “safe sex” health education classes.
This was the first avenue into the schools. Validity of alternate “families” and homosexual practices are often basic assumptions of today's health ed, and graphic instruction in condom use is typical as a method for AIDS "prevention." Actually, such lessons encourage promiscuous sex among teens, including experimentation with homosexuality.

9. Hiring a staff “support” person for homosexual students, or training all guidance counselors to affirm homosexuality
These adults mislead kids and encourage them to enter the homosexual lifestyle. Often such adults become internal activists for the homosexual cause, and may even keep track of “hate speech” incidents. There are even schools who refer students to the most radical of outside adult 'gay' groups like PFLAG for so-called "support."

10. Openly homosexual teachers and staff.
These teachers then become role models, in-house activists, and possible confidants for students who want to start homosexual behavior. Student molestation becomes a real risk.

11. Liaison with community homosexual youth groups.

Ostensibly to “support” youth with same sex attractions, these groups welcome even 12 or 13 year olds, and parental notification is not required. Students socialize on site with older practicing homosexuals. Many schools now refer students to these groups, and if your school has a homosexual club, the members will probably have a close relationship with this outside group, which is not accountable to parents or a school board.

12. “Safe” zones throughout the school.
Usually symbolized by an inverted pink triangle, these are classes or counselors’ offices “safe” to discuss homosexuality, where no disapproval will be given. Sadly, it’s those who facilitate this unsafe lifestyle, not those who disapprove, who present a safety risk.

13. Pro-homosexual counseling.
Counselors refer students to community groups without parental knowledge. The ACLU and other groups warn schools not to advocate heterosexuality as the norm in counseling students with same sex desires, nor to discuss the fact that many people have overcome homosexual feelings! Schools who tell students the whole truth are may face suits by these radical organizations.

Can you believe that we actually have schools that won’t tell children heterosexuality is healthier than homosexuality? Yet how much money is going into these same schools for AIDS education? Is there something nonsensical about this picture?
