DEERFIELD, IL, March 7, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Deerfield High School, in Deerfield, Illinois, is offering the books "Angels in America: A Gay Fantasia on National Themes" (Part One & Two) - laced with graphic sexual content, including gay sex, pervasive expletives, religious denigration and mockery - in English classes this spring.
The books contain graphic descriptions of sodomy heretofore only heard of in hardcore homosexual pornography. With numerous uses of the 'f' word and vulgar sexual references to Mother Teresa, the Mother of Jesus, and God.
"After almost 15 years of school advocacy and reviewing many objectionable books and curricula, I have never seen anything this vulgar and harmful to students," says Lora Sue Hauser, Executive Director of North Shore Student Advocacy. "Parents, taxpayers and concerned citizens must force themselves to read these excerpts, as horrific as they are, so you know what kids are being exposed to. The school justifies this egregious choice because of its themes of hope. Evidently, all great literature with themes of hope have already been exhausted so teachers need to start offering pornography. We say - enough."
North Shore Student Advocacy (NSSA), an organization to help parents and students when they run into problems in public schools, was made aware of these books last fall when a parent complained. The books were part of required reading until NSSA filed a formal complaint with the school, asking the books to be reviewed by committee.
The committee decided to remove the books from required reading, but continued to offer them in the classroom as an optional title. "Optional Title," according to the principal, means that the student may select the books to study with peers and be guided by the adult, male teacher. A parental permission slip will be required, but without full disclosure of the sexually explicit content. This conclusion is unacceptable to the complaining parent and to NSSA. They are asking that this pornographic book be removed from curriculum completely.
The State's Attorney's office of Lake County, Illinois, deemed the books "obscene" according to Illinois obscenity laws, violating the "distributing harmful materials to minors" statute. However, state and federal obscenity laws exempt schools and libraries under "affirmative defense," giving the school and teachers involved near immunity.

Just revise them to read mohammed instead of Jesus.Then see if it is still “literature”.
I’m sure the school official who authorized the use of this material during class time would want to have his or her name made known to as many voters as possible in Deerfield, Illinois.
And the taxpayers are enablers for this recruitment of children to the damnable homosexual life style by providing the funding. Wake up, sheeple! Satan is devouring your children by exposing them to these evil teachers in government schools.
As I recall, the official motto of Deerfield Illinois is: “To Live, To Work, To Shop” I’m not making this up.

This excretion disparages Mother Teresa, the Blessed Virgin and God Himself.
My opinion: it has to do with very powerful feelings of self-hatred they experience.
Man, the worst we read was The Scarlet Letter.
Out of curiosity I tuned in, briefly, to the HBO miniseries called Angels in America. Within 10 minutes there was a scene where an Angel was coming down from the heavens to ‘mate’ with a gay guy. That was it for me. Half the people in this country don’t care how destructive the Gay Agenda is. Our half knows but doesn’t have the appropriate power (such as in the public school system) to do anything about it. Sad state of affairs.
Homosexual activists do not want just tolerance they want to remake the world in their dangerous world view. They want to use sexual imagery and fetishism to warp the minds of young people early so they will have a life long ambiguity where gender and sexuality is concerned. They want to change the sexual morals of our time and in many places they have. They were the first to introduce the ideas of anal and excrement fetishes and low forms of pseudo sexual behavior which is highly facilitatory to the spread of pathogens. There is a culture war going on.
If you care about your children then you need to pay attention what kind of stuff is being offered in public schools and if you really do wish to teach your children about homosexuality and its dangers then dig deeper for your own benefit. It will not be a pleasant journey but it most certainly will inoculate you against the minimization of the dangers of the politics of this horrid behavior. There is a not so hidden history that the left wishes to glaze over with sitcom comedies like Will and Grace. There is a history of the efforts of gay activists to reduce the age of consent(to legalize pederasty), to in filtrate the classroom, to infect society with a phony version of civil rights which has as its goal to make it impossible to criticize or stop them.
The best thing you can do if your school district is putting this kind of stuff in front of your children. Call the police, don’t talk about the school or to the school, talk about an adult giving sexually explicit material to minors to the authorities and press charges. It doesn’t matter if you win. Intimidation is the tactic that gay activists use and I recommend using it against them. I’d even bait some of these teachers into stepping over the line. The left can not resist an impressionable young mind anymore than a sexual predator can resist an underage easy mark in a chatroom. Conservatives need to have their own kind of activism. Don’t let the conversation stay polite and stay focused on protecting the children from adults in the public school system who are overly interested in the sex lives of kids.
