In addition to being legally inaccurate, pro-gay advocacy groups’ one-sided messages also are irresponsible, and even dangerous, from a psychological perspective.
We know from social science research, that children are still developing both physically and emotionally during the middle and high school years. So a significant percentage of kids experience sexual confusion during this crucial time period.
Clearly, schools shouldn’t be opening their doors to messages that push vulnerable children into prematurely embracing a sexual identity based on the demands of special interest groups.
And the truth is—as taxpaying parents and community citizens—you have more of a stake in what happens in your schools than these outside advocacy groups.
Your concerns, and your voice, deserve equal respect.
First, educate yourself by reviewing the “What Parents Need to Know” section (see box in upper right hand corner). Then “Take Action” by giving your school officials information that counters the unbalanced information they’re currently getting from groups like GLSEN—the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network.
