I'm going to look for more info on that, because the words required and any sound like BS.

I really don't fully understand HOW this can happen--don't they have a choice as to WHICH non-profit literature is handout out ?? --with their report cards even, ffs!!

The religious right are always talking about bringing the gay *lifestyle* into the school system, but, then, this is allowed?



Thanks for looking more into it, Semantics.

I completely agree that this is hate literature.

What a destructive message to send to students! To those who are bigoted, it will just reinforce their notions that there is something wrong that needs to be cured with their fellow queer classmates.

For those queer students, well, we all know the stats on depression, bullying and rates of suicide.

I'm just beside myself with anger at this story.
