Re: Gay California teachers 'come out' in classroom

The post that started this thread was appropriate for this kind of forum.  I
don't want anyone, gay, straight or celebate discussing their personal
sexuality in the class room.  That shows a significant lack of judgement.  

The joke below also shows a lack of judgement.   People get AIDS from
tainted blood products, cheating spouses, sharing needles and straight
unprotected sex as well as gay sex.  I know of no one in the medical
profession that would be as insensitive as the joke below describes.  Even
if someone has made poor choices in their life, it is not the place of
health care professionals to judge, nor is it yours.  There is a rather
important book that reads in part "Judge not lest ye be judged".

 Please refrain from that form of potty humor on this list serve.  There are
others where it is welcome.

>>      A California public school district is allowing homosexual
>>school employees to "come out" in front of children in school
>>without obtaining parents' permission.
>>      A unanimous resolution allows teachers at the Hayward
>>Unified School District to talk openly about homosexuality or to
>>discuss their homosexual lifestyles with students during class.
>>The district's school board says such action is required under
>>the California Student Safety and Violence Prevention Act
>>of 2000.
>>      Teachers also are allowed to include homosexual figures or
>>role models in class and to read books with homosexual
>>characters such as "Heather Has Two Mommies."
>>      The case in Hayward is part of a growing national trend in
>>how school districts deal with homosexuality.
>>      Scott Lively, president of the Pro-Family Law Center in
>>Citrus Heights, Calif., said yesterday that his organization has
>>received calls from concerned parents in Massachusetts,
>>Vermont, Missouri and other towns in California during the past
>>several months.
>>      "It's a national campaign that is being pushed by homosexual
>>activists, and that campaign is to homosexualize the
>>public-school environment," Mr. Lively said. "One of the goals is
>>to create a voting majority within the high school students who
>>would be in favor of gay perspectives. These are activists who
>>got in positions of authority and use it to advance a selfish social
>>agenda, and, frankly, that's evil."
>>      School district officials said yesterday that the resolution is
>>about training students and teachers about tolerance and how to
>>provide a safe learning environment for homosexual students and
>>teachers. It's not about teaching students about homosexuality,
>>said Kim Hammond, the school district's chief administrative
>>officer.
>>      "We're not saying, 'Let's teach the students about
>>homosexuality,'" Ms. Hammond said. "What we're saying is,
>>'How do we accept individuals who are different from
>>ourselves?' Our school board is committed to maintaining a safe
>>learning environment for all of our students."
