"The PTA does not have the same opinions as the adminstrators in the school district," the e-mail said. "And for them to cancel this meeting is an outrage.
.... This is almost too silly to write a response to. I recall it is the PTA.. not the PA. You can have your own meetings and sponsor them yourself, and in such meetings you can do and say whatever you want. If you want to have a panel about something... don't deny a differing view such as Larabee to come present as well. (time constraints... hah) Indoctrination does not bode well with an open education system.
Problems in society are never solved by sweeping them under the rug and silencing dissenting viewpoints. Was it the time or place for the PTSA to discuss this issue, probably not, but measures must be made to curtail in what I feel can only be described as "evil" efforts by the gay community to gain intellectual superiority over groups who would like to extend an olive branch. Anyone who suggest the possibility of change in the lives of these good people is mocked, laughed at and insulted. This not ought be so.
Gay sex is terribly harmful and destructive to a person's body and soul. To say otherwise is callous to our children and simply irrational. Suppressing all the facts about how deadly serious gay activity is, is heartless to the extreme. And most of all, suppressing the message of hope that same sex attraction CAN be successfully abandoned is perhaps the most heartless message of all, and has led to countless cases of depression and suicide among our SSA-struggling youth.
Stem the tide - tell our children the TRUTH about gay sex.
I don't advocate making sexual activity among consenting adults illegal. I do believe that parents and schools have a right to teach that homosexual behavior is a wrong and immoral. To say otherwise is to restrict the first amendment rights of good American�s everywhere. The trust is, that those who won't accept anyone having a differing opinion, they are the truly intolerant ones.
Two powerful forces are colliding: freedom, and insinuation. Nasty fight.
I am pulling for freedom.
