Pro-Gay Booklet in Every School? Stop the Madness!
Personally, I can't believe what I'm hearing. What has happened to the people in our school systems? I pray parents will rise up and make their voices heard! And most of all, I pray Christians will fall to their knees and ask God to intervene in this madness.
Schools are being told that messages about leaving homosexuality are harmful!
All 16,000 public school superintendents in the U.S. will be receiving a copy of Just the Facts about Sexual Orientation and Youth, a 24-page booklet that concludes homosexuality is a "normal expression of human sexuality."
“What’s so scary and dogmatic about this report is that it communicates that religious-based viewpoints are harmful, and even dangerous," said Candi Cushman, education analyst for Focus on the Family Action.
The pamphlet is endorsed by more than a dozen professional mental health and counseling organizations, education associations and one liberal religious group. The theme: Schools are only allowed to provide one message about homosexuality — that it's normal and should be embraced.
Alan Chambers, president of Exodus International, said he knows that’s not true.
“Allowing people to choose what is best for their lives is respectful, it’s tolerant, it’s everything that the other side uses as their mantra, but really fails to respect and live up to," he said.
The publication ends with a warning: "Schools should be careful to avoid discussions of transformational ministry in their curriculum.”
Brian Raum, senior legal counsel for the Alliance Defense Fund, called that a thinly veiled threat.
“What they’re trying to do is create a fear factor here," he said. “There’s nothing in the Constitution that would prohibit a teacher from presenting to a student all of the programs that are available, without endorsing or promoting any particular one.”

It is so hard to imagine how far the gay agenda has come simply because it isn't "politically correct"for people to really say what we think about it all. It is time for parents to rise up and not tolerate this blatant attack within the school systems of this country. It is also doubly important for parents to teach their children the truth about these issues so that no matter what they might hear elsewhere, they are well insulated against the lies that seem to spread like wildfire.
God calls homosexuality a sin and we need to agree with His truth. That doesn't mean we hate the sinner, just the sin. Sin is forgivable and as always God has made a way out of the lies and deception. HE is the WAY!
That isn't likely to be taught in the schools either, so it will be important for parents to do the real teaching.
Thanks for shedding light on this dark subject.
Blessings,
Joy
Once again, Joy, it comes back to the parents, doesn't it? I say parents better get LESS busy and pay more attention to what the teachers and counselors are doing with their kids!
