Effort to hide homosexual indoctrination uncovered in IL school

Concerned Women for America is blasting an Illinois high school for urging students not to tell their parents about its mandatory homosexual indoctrination program.
Deerfield High School in Chicago has a class called "Freshman Advisory," in which ninth-graders are required to attend a panel discussion led by the Gay-Straight Alliance Network. The panel features homosexual upperclassmen telling students about their sexual experiences.

This year, students were required to sign a confidentiality agreement saying they would not tell anyone about the discussions, including their parents. Matt Barber, policy director for cultural issues at Concerned Women for America (CWA), says school officials showed complete disregard for the rights of parents and students who believe homosexuality is immoral.

"This is just another example of activists within our public government schools -- homosexual activists -- circumventing parental authority, parents rights, in order to indoctrinate impressionable young children. They know the propaganda all too well," Barber asserts. "You get hold of the minds of these young people, and you spoon feed them your dogma and indoctrinate them," he says; "then you control the future, and you help to further the homosexual agenda."

Deerfield Superintendent Dr. George Fornero says the district "made a mistake" by requiring the students to sign the confidentiality agreement.
However, Barber feels the damage has already been done. He calls the district's actions "a shocking and brazen governmental abuse of parental rights," which is also detrimental to the children.

"They're exposing these kids to information and encouraging them, essentially, to participate in a lifestyle that places them at extremely high risk for disease," the CWA spokesman asserts. "And the fact that they have circumvented parental authority and essentially instructed these kids to lie to their parents tells you just how sinister this homosexual agenda is," he adds.

A group of parents recently took out an ad in the local Deerfield Review newspaper condemning Deerfield High School's "Freshman Advisory" and demanding answers about the homosexual indoctrination program.

While I don't take anything seriously that comes from such Christian Nationalist groups as Concerned Women For America, I'd say that if this really is happening that it's another reason for Christians to pull their kids out of these government indoctrination centers and educate them at home.

Chancellor,
It does report that some concerned parents took out an ad in the local paper on the issue, so I took it as fact.

You are right. We need to get our kids out of there, but like "Dear Ann" said, "You'd have parents beating down the doors if they closed because they are too busy to take care of their own children."

We have blended families, one parent families, etc. It's hard on the children and hard on the parents. Many could sacrifice money, as we did, to educate your children.

Welcome to the New World Order!
It ain't just in "Socialist" Canada, but it is every where.

I am afraid "In God We Trust" and "Having The Ten Commandments" in Congress is going to stop it.

Yep, the Devil has an agenda and he is working hard to fulfill it.
