JANESVILLE, Wis. – A school district in southern Wisconsin has publicly apologized for a highly controversial film promoted to students that endorses same-sex marriage while disparaging those who disagree.
Last month, students at Craig High School were shown the short video Kids React to Gay Marriage. Controversial statements in the film include calling those who do not approve of same-sex marriage “outrageous” and “insane.”
The video was selected by the school’s Gay/Straight Alliance and approved by both the club’s advisers and Craig High Principal Dr. Alison Bjoin to be shown as part of the Day of Silence observance on April 11. The Day of Silence is an effort to call attention to harassment and discrimination supposedly faced by LGBT high school students.
Several families with children at the school felt that the video didn’t have anything to do with bullying and brought the matter to the attention of the public.
“I felt it was very misleading and I felt it was propaganda,” said Jo Yungerman, the grandmother of a Craig High freshman.
Tom Yungerman said that his son left the room when the video began playing.
“He was basically horrified by it,” Youngerman stated, who said he teaches his sons about biblical marriage.

Oh, an apology; but the damage has been done. Next year they will just be more quiet about showing it.
Teachers stink.
apology?
people should be fired and jailed for crap like that
I saw that on YouTube a while ago.
I always loved the “kids react to” series, but that video made me ill. I never watched another one since, it made me so furious.
The jerks that made it were engaging in rank exploitation of children to push an agenda.
a series?
are you sure its from the same people?
“Once I viewed the video, I felt like it was biased to one side,” said Dr. Karen Schulte, superintendent”. What people don’t want to acknowledge is, that as far as the government and their minions is concerned there are not two sides - there is no argument - the science is settled and anyone who opposes it is a homophobe. When the church I used to belong to accepted gay ministers I asked the person who was to announce it at church that people who believed differently would have the chance to speak - he was high up in the Synod and refused - the decision had been made and it was beyond argument - it was now the truth. I was so proud of those in the congregation who were true believers - they had their say anyway but not just one of them as I proposed but all of them. It’s funny but their schemes that are devised to shut us up very often stir us to righteous anger and action.

Sick!
Get all children out of public schools NOW!
Public schools are a cause of child endangerment and child abuse.
educating children ceased to be the function of public schools a long time ago.
they are indoctrination centers to promote the evil of the God-and-America-Haters.
Wisconsin school district APOLOGIZES for imposing homosexual film on school children
FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.
We’re sorry we were caught.
Teachers.....leave them kids alone!
I bet they apologize next time, and the time after that...

Another Reason to Homeschool
ARTH
Yep.
The usual content are just kids reacting to funny YouTube videos. They even have ones with teens and seniors.
Grooming and recruiting.
Reason 1,000,000 to homeschool.
Christian parents who knowingly send their children to such schools aren’t Christian. Jesus’ warning against offending the faith of a child
...that such a person deserves the death penalty...certainly applies to parents, teachers, ministers, and anyone else in a position of authority over a child.
Wow! So you're the judge huh? You do realize that some people have no choice don't you?
