In middle school, it's hard to be different. It's even harder if a student identifies as LGBTQ.

This week, a couple of teachers at Central Park School for Children in Durham, North Carolina, decided to enlist the help of some local drag queens to celebrate the unique differences between the school's students.

Taylor Schmidt, an eighth-grade teacher at the school, and his colleague, Schara Brooks, saw the impact bullying and other negative behavior was having on students in their school who identify as LGBTQ. They said students were even leaving the school because of some of their experiences. In December, the pair pitched a schoolwide event to help students understand what it means to be different.

"Our drive was to remove barriers to success, belonging and the ability to thrive for all students," Schmidt said. "It called for a hard look at the roots of these behaviors and intentional actions to liberate not just the bullied from oppressive acts, but the bully from the oppressive root causes of their actions."

Funny. Because drag queens pretend to be someone else.

These people are trying to indoctrinate insanity. What is next, promoting school shootings?

When my girls were in 7th and 8th grade in the 1990s in Schaumburg IL schools, an LBGTQ group put on an assembly. A couple points were:

If you are nervous or uncomfortable around people of the opposite sex then you are probably gay.

You should try a few gay and a few hetero experiences before you decide if you are gay, straight or both.

We in the LBGTQ group are available to practice with you if you don’t have a fellow student to practice with.

They don’t want kids to be themselves. They want kids to be just like them. Disgusting!

How many of them are registered sex offenders? Or perhaps it's easier to determine how many *aren't* registered sex offenders.

[sparklite2]

Registered sex offender?

“Get your hands off me! Help, help!”
“Shhhh. Cool it, baby. You’re gonna like this.”
“You’re just a rapist! Help!”
“It’s okay, baby. I’m registered with the state.”
“Really?”
“I got papers.”
“Well, okay.”

It's been said, but I'll say it again:

Quer sex indocrination is bad enough.

What would have been prosecuted, in saner times, as "Corruption of a Minor."

THIS goes beyond indoctrination: it's sexual initiation. THIS would have been prosecuted, in saner times, as "Corruption of a Minor."
