SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- Administrators at a Utah middle school outed a gay teenage boy to his parents because they feared he would be bullied, but the move has outraged civil rights groups that claim the student's privacy was violated.

Alpine School District took the unusual step after the 14-year-old boy, whose name has not been released, created an advertisement about himself and his sexual orientation during a class project.

That will tell you more about how they really feel about being gay than any sanctimonious civil rights posturing they use to smokescreen it.

That's what I was thinking.

But we have been told often by serious people that being gay is perfectly normal. So, this should not be an issue to anyone. But since it is a very big issue, then what does this say about being gay?

My kid has no “right to privacy” until he’s 18 and moves out.

This is outrageous. What if it turns out that the unfortunate student is merely conflicted and not actually gay? His life could be ruined. It’s an outrageous thing to do to someone that young.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

I recently heard of a situation here in CNY where some boy outed himself and took his boyfriend to the prom and was the hero for it all. They even had the media there and everything. He died before he hit 30.

So if being gay is so PC, why the outrage if someone else *outs* them?

What hypocrites.

This whole story is so wrong on so many levels.

Nobody outed him. He advertized himself.

Was he really so stupid to think that his parents wouldn't find out?

Parents are the central enemy of the school pervs. They lose a lot of well groomed and broken children to the protection of their parents. All child abusers tell their marks not to tell their parents.

They make it so the kid thinks the parents will turn on them; not beleive them, hate them, reject them for having served the adult(s) involved. They make the kid feel guilty and fearful so his only “friends” who understand the secret of “who he is” sexually and still “love” him, are the pervs. They have the psychological manipulation of boys down to a science. It’s really twisted.

Now it seems they also have control over all the adults at the school because this principal should not be appologizing for doing the responsible and loving thing for the targeted kid.

Alpine, Utah, is a suburb of Provo. When it comes to choosing a wholesome and family values oriented community, this town is the end of the road. There is no where else to go.

Yet...It was only a few years ago that a poster about one’s sexuality would have been unthinkable in any school of any kind. And...This is happening in Alpine, Utah? In the very lap of the BYU Cougars?

Please, parents don't hold up the fig leaf of an argument that this is not happening **your** child's socialist school. Fathers, be responsible! Get your children out!

Parents...remove your children from the government's socialist schools. Do it **today**! NOTHING ( yes, I am shouting) is more important than your child. Do what ever it takes.
