Check out Scripter's profile page and check the Categorical Archives. I'm sure there's something there either about that particular scenario (I remember it well) or other incidents related to schools.

I didn't see what state you're from, but here in CA it has been mandatory since 2001 to teach pro-homosexual classes in schools, K-12. Some do it more extensively than others, but it is the law. Some schools have special weeks, special pro-"gay" teachers and presenters; and they are encouraged to add it to the general cirrculum. Kids are supposed to be able to be "opted out", but teachers often purposely don't send the forms, or send them in a timely manner; or the forms are sent with bunches of papers that the parents never see.

And even if a kid is "opted out" of some special class, all the others kids have been tainted by pro-"gay" propaganda, and anyway it filters in to the regular subjects, as it is meant to.

Then there are the GLSEN "Gay Straight Alliance Clubs" that are popping up all over the place.

OK, will do.

The People's Republic of Washington. And right now, I'd be glad to have a RINO as at least one of my US Senators!

pro-homosexual classes

I'm really uncertain what a "pro-homosexual class" is. Do they really try to solicit kids to experiment with homosexual behavior, or do they just teach kids not to gay bash? I despise hearing the word "gay" used as an insult to a person or an idea among school age kids, and anything that makes that word as unacceptable as a racial epithet is probably a desirable thing.

Back when I was in high school in the early '70s, we could pretend that there were no gay people in my school, but by the time the 30th class reunion hits, if not sooner, you realize that you were just in the dark.

I went to a fairly "progressive" school in a suburban area, which drew from the nicer neighborhoods in my city. My stepdaughter just graduated from a small town high school out in the logging country (graduating class was a bit more than 100) and she knew a couple of classmates who were gay. We've come a long way for acceptance to change that much in thirty years, although I guess some folks here would say that we shouldn't have.

Then there are the GLSEN "Gay Straight Alliance Clubs" that are popping up all over the place.

Again, I think this is an expression of some of our young people not wanting to buy into the prejudice of older generations, and to reduce the marginalization that some of their homosexual classmates experience. I suspect that this marginalization is what drives some of them to get totally outrageous, sort of like the gay pride parade pics we see here at FR.
