Concern Women of America to audit schools for homosexuality
This has to be a fricking joke - but it's not

Conservative women's group launches grassroots effort targeting schools that accept homosexuality

The largest conservative Christian organization targeted at women has quietly introduced a grassroots "risk audit" program aimed at rolling back gay, lesbian and HIV programs in American schools, RAW STORY has found.

Concerned Women for America, a $10 million-a-year nonprofit and lobbying group, announced their "risk audit plan" in late April. The plan seeks to engage parents in a broad national effort to target schools which "promote" gay and lesbian activity by embracing non-discrimination policies and safe-sex curricula or harbor "objectionable" gay and lesbian novels aimed at children.

"Every school district in America has an absolute responsibility to protect children while they are at school," the group writes in their 24-page audit plan. "There is no legitimate rationale for giving or implying endorsement of homosexual, bisexual or gender-variant behaviors among children of any age."

"It is not a viewpoint,"
they write, "but a high-risk and often lethal behavior."

3. About responsibility to protect children while they are at school
...I damned well expect that while my grandchildren are at school someone will protect them from bigoted raving lunatics like the "concerned womem of America".

14. That's comforting to hear that a DU'er feels that way.
There have been many "progressives" at DU who feel that it's a parent's choice when to introduce that scary and confusing topic of what it means to be gay.

My attitude has been if you treat gay people as equals, then where's the problem when it comes to assimilation?

6. Maybe these tight-ass jerks would take on SEX HARASSMENT
because that's where the real problem is, bully boys teaching little girls from kindergarten on that boys are predators and girls are prey. That is the kind of abuse extended to little boys who aren't macho swaggerers, on the mere suspicion they are gay.

Homosexuality? That's a BIG NOTHING compared to the damage that is done to half the human race by some members of the other half.

7. Let me get this straight.
(Don't excuse the pun, it was intentional.)

"Every school district in America has an absolute responsibility to" promote homophobia?

You see, I honestly don't understand this. These loonies are openly bigoted, yet pretend otherwise? WTF? It's like Fred Phelps. Who the fuck finances that asshole. My brain won't go to these places. This bunch is obviously funded by RNC Inc., but their mission is too bizarre for my brain.

9. I'd be more concerned about protecting my kids (if I had any) from...
uptight, bigoted conservative groups like the AFA or "Concerned" Women for America. Ugh, people like this make me want to move out of the country.

11. That's a great idea!
Of course, they'll have to allow us to observe their sexual habits for the next month or so, just to be sure that they aren't hiding any deviant practices themselves. I'm sure they won't mind.

17. What about that Neil Horsely?
Extreme anti-abortion right winger that boasted of having sex with farm animals.

A boy's gotta do what a boy's gotta do.

16. And the push of right wing extremism continues unabated.
Soon it will be a tidal wave - impossible to stop. Public school is doomed in poor, rural areas. This will just expedite the process.

makes the entire school gay.

20. Is that the same concept as launching a stoner at a school at 420mph...
makes the entire school high?
