Many years ago in this echo, and also in the CIVIL_LIB echo, a discussion came
up about homosexuals and their `agenda'.


When I raised objections to the homosexual crowd's push to legitimize what is
in truth nothing more than a sexual deviation, I was cursed, reviled, accused
of `homophobia', yadida yadida.


I pointed out that it wouldn't be long before homosexuality would be pushed
into our schools. I was called a liar, an extremist, and a lot of other
things.


Well.......Otto seems to be the only one of that crowd left in here, with the
possible exception of `Whiney Wayne' Chirnside.


So....read it and weep:

Village Academic Curriculum: 'Tolerance' Forced on Kids
The Alameda, California, public school board voted last week, 3-2, in favor of
a "Safe Schools" curriculum that will introduce pupils in the first through
fifth grades to homosexual -- or what they prefer to call lesbian, gay,
bisexual and transsexual (LGBT) -- content. The real kicker to the story is
that because the board's legal counsel does not consider the controversial
curriculum to be health or sex education, parents do not have the option of
withdrawing their children from the courses.


The curriculum includes books like "And Tango Makes Three" for
second graders,
where two male penguins raise their young. The "Who's in a
Family" discussion
guide asks teachers to help first graders identify different "types" of
family:


"If a student responds that one family in the book is made up of a mother, a
father, and two children and a cat, you may acknowledge that some families
look like this, but ask students for other examples of what a family can look
like," the guide states.


Trish Spencer, a school board member who voted against the curriculum, pointed
out that surveys conducted within the school district showed that students
were at more risk for bullying for religious preference and race than for
their sexual orientation. "We know that there are children that are already
being bullied for their religious beliefs. ... I couldn't see any effort on
behalf of the district to teach empathy and being an ally to those students."
