Parents protest gay ‘agenda’ in schools

MONTPELIER, Vt. — A group of Vermont parents met at the State Capitol in Montpelier Oct. 31 to protest what they see as promotion of the homosexual agenda in schools by state and local educators, according to CNSNews.com.

Tuesday’s protest was sparked in part by an incident at a local school where a student said he was exposed to “homosexual harassment” in the classroom.

In a study of genealogy, a teacher said that homosexuality was inherited, putting forward a controversial thesis that has never been proven. When the student questioned the teacher, the teacher asked the student if he was “homophobic” or “had problems with his sexuality,” the student said in an affidavit. The teacher is a facilitator with the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network.

CNSNews.com reported that family groups also are protesting the distribution of graphic brochures by Outright Vermont, a tax-funded organization that targets “gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and questioning youth.”

Of particular concern to parents is a pamphlet by Outright Vermont entitled, “Safer Sex Can Be Fun,” in which children are encouraged to: “Become a condom expert.”
