 HOMOSEXUAL AGENDA  August 2000; Volume 24 Issue 07 Governors asked to investigate ‘gay' agenda in public schools
"When parents find out what is being taught to their children in school about homosexuality, they will be outraged," said Tim Wildmon, AFA vice president. "We think it is time for the executives of each state to respond to the concerns of parents before controversy erupts." Wildmon mentioned the recent explosive events in Massachusetts, where that state's Department of Education commissioner David Driscoll was forced to apologize publicly after three homosexual activists held an explicit "how to" session on homosexual sex acts with students as young as 14. AFA also expressed its deep concerns about the June 10 release of a new pro-homosexual video and curriculum expressly intended for children in elementary school. Film producers Debra Chasnoff and Helen Cohen will release That's a Family!, a propaganda piece aimed at convincing children that same-sex relationships--and the "families" they create--are the equivalent of a married mother and father. The video is the first of a three-part series entitled Respect for All. "I suspect even the title of this series is deceptive. It's not respect for ‘all,' it's respect only for the pro-homosexual view," Wildmon said. "Based on the producers' past work, parents will be very upset to discover that their own religious and moral views are being challenged at school, behind their backs and without their consent." Chasnoff and Cohen walked the same road with their first video, It's Elementary: Talking About Gay Issues in School. That controversial work instructed teachers on how to slip pro-homosexual messages into everyday school lessons. Those who view homosexuality as unnatural or immoral were portrayed as ignorant, bigoted and hateful. AFA sent a packet to the state leaders highlighting their specific concerns on curricula such as That's a Family! Included in the packet is a copy of AFA's Suffer the Children: Answering the Homosexual Agenda in Public Schools. That video was a direct response to It's Elementary. Three articles documenting the homosexual agenda regarding children and the public school system were also included. © Copyright 2000 • American Family Association, all rights reserved. |

AFA is asking the governors of all 50 states as well as the heads of their respective education departments to investigate whether their schools are being used by homosexual activists to indoctrinate children without parental knowledge.
