Homophobes Freaking Out in Tennessee


What would homophobes do if they didn't have gay people to persecute? And how come they have so very much free time for their little persecution games?

In the department of fear of high school students being exposed to gays and lesbians, or [gasp] actually being gay and lesbian, the following is an email alert from the Tennessee chapter of the Family Policy Network. These guys really need to get a life.

Dear Friend:

Family Policy Network (FPN) is beginning a 6-month campaign to push for a new state-based approach to protecting children from homosexual activists in public schools. Please read this alert and utilize the Action Item near the end of this message to express your opinion to state lawmakers. If you would like to get involved in this effort or want more information, call me at 615-866-5242, extension 2.

-- Ron Shank, FPN of Tennessee

ACTION ALERT -
Restricting Homosexual Activists in Schools:
Despite various efforts to ban activist groups like the "Gay, Lesbian, Straight Education Network" (GLSEN) from promoting "tolerance" of homosexuality to children in public schools, success stories in doing so are few and far between. A new law in Georgia, however, might be the answer to part of the problem.

This year, public schools in the Peach State must alert parents to the nature of all non-academic clubs and allow them to "opt-out" their children from any meetings they deem offensive. This new law accomplishes two very important objectives.

First, this law will obviously give parents the choice to protect their children from the influence of homosexual activist organizations like GLSEN.

Second, this law will alert parents who would otherwise believe their schools are somehow exempt from pro-homosexual activism.
