And of course, no apologies will be forthcoming when some of these naive readers wind up HIV positive or with syphilis

This is liberal brainwashing and liberal koolaid at its worst. Teach your children the Bible before you take them to the library.

“There were tons of books about gangs and drugs and teen pregnancy and there were no LGBT books,” says Brent, now 15 and heading into his sophomore year of senior high. “I asked the librarian about it and she was like, ‘This is middle school. I can only have appropriate books here.’“

I'll bet you EVERY CENT I have that there were no books on the founders, the constitution or heaven forbid a bible. This is exactly why the Dept of Ed must be defunded and people must be given school choice. I wish I was able to homeschool my kids when they were growing up, government schools are just indoctrination camps.

So many questions come to my mind. Too many to ask, but a few:

1. Since we don’t know what causes homosexuality or other sexual identity issues, do we know for sure that all these gay/transgender/whatever teens stay that way as adults? Or could they be going through a phase? There’s anecdotal evidence, esp. with teen girls, that they go through phases. Teens go through phases with other behaviors and interests.

2. Should we be encouraging sexual behavior of the homosexual kind among underage teens, who are under the age of sexual consent?

3. Should schools get involved at all with sexual themed literature, whether heterosexual or homosexual? We’re talking school libraries having these materials, right?

4. How explicit are we talking? Do these characters say they are gay in passing, or do the novels have explicit descriptions of activities and body parts and all that?

5. Do parents have any say in any of this?

I’ve always thought that too. How can you have a “gay” child in elementary school, if he/she hasn’t gone through puberty yet? If they haven’t gone through puberty yet, there is no “sexual orientation” or “sexual behavior” in the first place with such a child.

Does this sort of thing have any place in schools? When these kids reach adulthood, if they feel such a strong pull towards homosexuality, isn’t that the time for them to express themselves, if they feel that strongly about this?

The acceptance and humor about homosexuals must be a whistling past the grave yard thing.

when dealing with the very young people, with all their insecuries and wanting to fit in, what better time to propagandize them with the homo’s trash. This is harming God’s precious children and there is a price to pay.

Agreed. This is culture of death indoctrination.

Post WWII western liberalism is about to implode. No culture can thrive or even survive such corrupt policies.

I don’t know. I knew a couple of little boys that were SOOOO Effeminate that it seemed obvious that they were going to be gay and years later, they were.

perhaps when they were young they should have gotten a little shot of testosterone.
