I just can’t believe what I’m reading these days…the kinds of perverted things going on in our public schools in the name of tolerance. Now girls are being told at a NY middle school to act like lesbians and ask other girls for kisses as part of an anti-bullying campaign. Seriously. It’s just unbelievable that they would be subjected to this kind of treatment.
If I had a kid there I’d pull them out so fast the school wouldn’t even remember them:
CBN NEWS – Parents of children attending a Red Hook, New York middle school are outraged after a recent anti-bullying presentation at Linden Avenue Middle School.
The workshop was for 13 and 14-year-old girls and focused on homosexuality and gender identity. They were also taught words such as “pansexual” and “genderqueer.”
Parents say their daughters were told to ask one another for a kiss and they say two girls were told to stand in front of the class and pretend they were lesbians on a date.
Parent, Mandy Coon, spoke with reporters saying quote, “she told me, ‘Mom we all get teased and picked on enough, now I’m going to be called a lesbian because I had to ask another girl if I could kiss her.'”
Coon says parents were given no warning about the presentation and there was no opportunity to opt-out. Both the school principal and the district superintendent are defending the workshops, and are advising that they will schedule more.
“The school is overstepping its bounds in not notifying parents first and giving us the choice,” another parent remarked. “I thought it was very inappropriate. That kind of instruction is best left up to the parents.”
“I was absolutely furious – really furious,” an anonymous parent told reporter Todd Starnes. “These are just kids. I’m dumbfounded that they found this class was appropriate.”
Superintendent Paul Finch told The Poughkeepsie Journal that the presentation was “focused on improving culture, relationships, communication and self-perceptions.”
“We may require more notification to parents in the future,” Finch went on to say.
He added that the sessions are required under the state Dignity for All Students Act, which prohibits harassment and bullying in the classroom.
Principal Katie Zahedi and guidance counselors at the middle school worked with Bard students to organize the workshops.
