An Oprah-inspired program in public schools described by critics as an intrusive, emotionally manipulative effort with the laudable goal of ending bullying, cliques, gossip and other such behaviors, has been presented to a million students in 400 cities in 47 states.
Challenge Day, the subject of the 2010 MTV series, “If You Really Knew Me,” promises to provide schools and communities with “experiential programs that demonstrate the possibility of love and connection through the celebration of diversity, truth, and full expression.”
But critics contend Challenge Day, an independent, nonprofit program, can do more harm than good and pose a danger to emotionally fragile students, lacking privacy safeguards normally expected in counseling programs.
Schools pay $3,200, plus travel expenses, to bring Challenge Day to their students.

What we need is separation of secular religion and state.
The whole purpose of this, make kids accept faggotry. Nothing more, nothing less.
““If You Really Knew Me,””
we sort do really KNOW you OKRA...and we don’t like your attitude...
“diversity” = fewer white/European people, less Christian culture.
The homofication of education is simply one of the spearpoints in the war on Christian culture.
all about making those little kids think homosexuality is normal, we should understand bullies like in Ferguson, and we have to treat terrorists nice ,and they will leave us alone.
“Group-think” and “sheep” is what they want to turn all kids into. It makes them easier to rule and control.
The secularists think they can create better people and a better world—all without God. Man’s nature, however, is essentially unchanged, and nothing less than Christ is going to bring peace to this world. All the secularists are doing is setting the stage for the Anti-Christ, and they’ll gladly fall down to worship him when the time comes. He’ll tell them exactly what they want to hear, and they’ll suck it up.
“OKRA”
make sure you’re spell check is on. It’s spelled ORCA! lol
Change, change, change. Constant change, always change, more change. That sounds like chaos to me. Lawlessness. The opposite of morality, logic and reasoning.
and then theres...OAFRAH....which is another popular spelling
I prefer asshat or oxygen thief.
Perhaps a small point but I think an important one.
The network involved here is MTV, not MeTV.
MeTV (Memorable Entertainment Television) is a pretty good choice for classic Westerns, Comedies and Noir Series like Naked City, Peter Gunn, The Fugitive, Route 66 etc.
In fact, MeTV is just about the only channel I watch out of all the DirecTV choices in the Chicago area. MeTV has exactly the kind of programming you'll never find on MTV or Orca networks.
No slight to MeTV was intended. Just kind of a snark at mtv of today where narcissism rules supreme. When it first kicked off and all there was (for the most part) were music videos. Now there aren’t many of those but plenty of mind numbing idiots making fools of themselves. And thinking it’s cute.
These idiots banish all semblance of real religion from public education, then wonder why the kids are so violent and evil to one another. So they try to solve the problem by bringing in the likes of Mr. Van Driessen (Beavis and Butthead’s teacher) to preach the gospel of political correctness. The kids, in response, start building mail-order tanks.
Laudable goal of ending bullying, cliques, gossip?
How about ending needing to use the bathroom while you are at it?
Those are part of human nature.
When you hear someone say something like “experiential programs that demonstrate the possibility of love and connection through the celebration of diversity, truth, and full expression”......you know right way that person is full of cr*p.
I stopped reading at “Oprah inspired program”.
.
Can hardly blame you. I almost quit right there too but figured it might be something I, or any FReeper, might need to be informed about. It gets worse as it goes. Controlling human nature or trying to may lead to bad conclusions.
