"It is no longer enough to have the right to be gay--it is now required!"

I think that's the post of the day, or the thread, or, well, it's a great point...

Mr. Jennings (of GLSEN) has covered his eyes and ears in an attempt to block the truth that thousands have left the homosexual lifestyle.


Kevin Jennings, the founder of GLSEN, is a homosexual activist whose mission is to fill the eyes and ears of the precious children in our public schools with homosexual propaganda. Make no mistake, Jennings knows exactly what he's doing.

I encourage anyone who wants to know more about Kevin Jennings and GLSEN to read through the information and articles linked below.

GLSEN needs to be booted out of the public schools.

An excerpt from "Targeting Children - Part two: How the homosexual movement uses public schools as instruments of change"

( http://www.afa.net/homosexual_agenda/childrenb.asp )

"GLSEN activist and New York kindergarten teacher Jaki Williams said starting in kindergarten is a must, since children at that age are still developing their ideas about the world around them. Even at that age, she said, “the saturation process needs to begin.”

Williams, in fact, is a model teacher when it comes to this “saturation” process. She regularly initiates conversations with her children by reading to them such controversial books as Heather Has Two Mommies, Daddy’s Roommate, and One Dad, Two Dads, Browns Dads, Blue Dads. She also hosts a viewing of the video Both of My Moms’ Names Are Judy: Children of Lesbians and Gays Speak Out, produced by a San Francisco pro-homosexual advocacy group.

According to one writer for The Lambda Report, who infiltrated a 1997 GLSEN workshop, one former teacher admitted that changing the mind of a child required more than a one-time effort. She said she had to expose her children to a constant stream of homosexual words and images, because "It’s really a conditioning process."


Example Offered of Real Homosexual Agenda in America's Schools

( http://www.FreeRepublic.com/focus/news/675813/posts )

"The school board says it’s about harassment, it’s about tolerance. Well, what does GLSEN say?" she asks. "The executive director, Kevin Jennings, says that it is about promoting homosexuality. That’s what he said is his mission. Let me read you his quote. He said, ‘Promoting homosexuality -- we can make it happen. That is our mission from this day forward.’ "

Folger describes the prospects as "frightening." "We had people that went into the GLSEN meetings. And make no mistake, this is not about tolerance in meeting with teachers -- it's about getting to the children," she says. "In fact, it was in that GLSEN meeting, locally held, that they said, 'We need this agreement to get to the children.' "

- Homosexual Agenda PING -

Those attempting to actually HELP homosexuals end their destructive and unhealthy lifestyles are labelled as "bigots", "haters", and "homophobes".

The homosexual enablers, the ones actually hurting them, are heralded as heros and allies.

Bad = Good, Good = Bad. Where have I read that before...?

Lovely to see that the NEA, those that are responsible for educating the future of this country, are partnered up with such bastions of morality and ethical clarity.

(If you want on or off this ping list, please FReepmail me.)

Un-freaking-believable


Indeed! From the article:

Opposition to the message of the Ex-Gay Educators Caucus is led by Kevin Jennings, a former private school teacher in Massachusetts and founder of the Gay Lesbian Straight Education Network. Mr. Jennings is a partner with the NEA in promoting acceptance of homosexuality through curriculum materials in the nation's schools as early as kindergarten and elementary grades. He was given the NEA's human rights "creative leadership" award at this year's convention.

"Ex-gay messages have no place in our nation's public schools," Mr. Jennings said in a publication of the Gay Lesbian Straight Education Network. "A line has been drawn. There is no 'other side' when you're talking about lesbian, gay and bisexual students."


Now consider this excerpt from "CFI Panel Exposes GLSEN’s Cross-Dressing Agenda - Medical Doctor Says Young Male AIDS Cases Linked to Abuse

"... FROM ABUSE VICTIM TO ‘GAY’ STUDENT

LaBarbera also relayed an account by GLSEN Executive Director Kevin Jennings in which he counseled one of his former students, a sophomore boy named Brewster who had been victimized by a homosexual pedophile. According to his account in his book One Teacher in Ten: Gay and Lesbian Educators Tell Their Stories, Jennings, then an openly homosexual teacher at the private Concord Academy in Massachusetts, met with the troubled Brewster, who nervously revealed “a story about his involvement with an older man he had met in Boston.” Jennings wrote that after the talk, Brewster “left my office with a smile on his face that I would see every time I saw him on campus.”

Jennings said proudly that he had helped the boy realize “that it’s OK to be gay.” Several years later, he saw Brewster at a homosexual restaurant in Boston. “He was now twenty-two, taking time off from college, and living with his boyfriend,” Jennings wrote.

LaBarbera said the story illustrates the problem of open homosexual activists working in schools and using their authority and trust as role models to promote false, unhealthy sexual identities to impressionable students. He said that in reality, young Brewster was not “gay,” as Jennings had claimed, but the confused victim of a homosexual predator..."

So they want to doom thousands of kids to the "gay" life.


Ding, ding, ding!!! Absolutely correct answer!

I encourage everyone to get a copy of the book The Death of Right and Wrong: Exposing the Left's Assault on Our Culture and Values by Tammy Bruce, and read Chapter Four: First the Culture, Then the Children: The Agenda of the Radical Gay Elite and Chapter Seven: Destruction of the Innocents: The Left Targets Children. You won't believe it!

From Chapter Four:

"The radicals in control of the gay establishment want children in their world of moral decay, lack of self-restraint, and moral relativism. Why? How better to truly belong to the majority (when you're really on the fringe) than by taking possession of the next generation? By targeting children, you can start indoctrinating the next generation with the false construct that gay people deserve special treatment and special laws." (Pg.88)

"I believe this grab for children by the sexually confused adults of the Gay Elite repesents the most serious problem facing our culture today." (Pg.94)

"Between GLSEN, the Happy Penis, Phil, and now Kami, I'd say the Gay Elite have your children as a captive audience. Whether you like it or not, they have appointed themselves your children's moral tutor." (pg.119)


Compare what Tammy Bruce has written with the following articles:

Targeting Children - How the gay movement intends to capture the next generation

Targeting Children - Part two: How the homosexual movement uses public schools as instruments of change

Targeting Children - Part three: Activists encouraging experimentation

Targeting Children - Part four: Access to children: homosexuality and molestation

Based on my read of this article, it seems the Gay Agenda is violently opposed to the ex-gay message. Give them credit, they recognize the lynch-pin in their argument and how it might be pulled out. Their unwillingness to even discuss the issue shows how crucial it is to them to keep the knowledge that gays can go straight away from their indoctrination centers.

Based on my read of this article, it would also be fair to say that a key talking point of the gay agenda is that the ex-gay movement is just a political power ploy. This statement could be used to identify an agitator. Anyone else would at least be willing to listen.

Shalom.

Do you suppose at the NEA convention they discuss such boring things as reading, writing, and math?

Why would educators have any interest in that boring stuff when they can talk about sex?

Shalom.

An excerpt from "Focus Changed at Fistgate This Year; Less Raw Sex"

"Shafer began her session by saying, "There are always going to be people - parents, administrators, students, colleagues, and maybe even your friends - who think that you shouldn't include GLBT issues in the classroom, that they don't belong in a younger grade classroom. But I think that they do, and I am assuming that you are here because you also think so." She then asked participants to write down reasons why they think GLBT issues should be shared in the K-5 classroom...

One teacher intern at the Devotion School in Brookline gave this rationale: "It's important to help children become agents of change."

Shafer recalled that several years ago, while she was still "in the closet," GLSEN executive director Kevin Jennings paid a visit to her school and: "It was at that point that I was able to begin coming out."

She expressed concern that teachers in the younger-grades in the Commonwealth are being pressured to abandon values-related and social skill-building activities in their classrooms in favor of academic activities, such as learning to write an expository essay. "That's the message I'm getting, and I think a lot of teachers are getting that, and that's kind of scary to me, and I don't think it's an easy time to be a progressive teacher in Massachusetts right now..."

Shalom.

Shalom to you as well,

It is strange, but there are some educators who think that by discussing sex they are "reaching out" to students. Actually, they are showing students that they can be as immature as teen-agers. Kids in school need basics from their teachers, not sex-therapy. And besides, this is a way to find out whom among the student body is ready for sex with a teacher. All very much part of the NEA, but not good for education.

"You might as well set up a Ku Klux Klan booth right next to you."

DRAMA QUEENS.

Look at the words used in this thing. If EX homosexuals can not speak to the truth about this issue, then who can? I think what it really is is that liberals are so threatened by anyone who can speak from experience and show a change in their lives ie ex-homosexuals, ex-liberals, ex-teachers(John Gatto), etc. They hate that their are REAL examples out there of people who have turned from their questionable values.
