[Vision2020] And you all say that we have a political agenda?!

[keely emerinemix]

This is as suspicious as I could imagine from a group like Concerned Women 
for America, and I will not believe it unless I see the contract straight 
from school personnel.

CWA has a history of right-wing reactionism along the lines of Phyllis' 
Schlafly's Eagle Forum and Operation Rescue, and was, if I understand 
correctly, formed partially because Schlafly, a Roman Catholic, wasn't 
"evangelical enough" for these Protestant women and their menfolk.

Bev LaHaye, CWA's co-founder, is the lovely wife of Tim LaHaye of "Left  
Behind" fame, by the way, which only adds more to the many reasons I would 
reject almost anything coming from them.

Seems suspicious to me.  I think I'll consider this release suspect until I 
see some response from the school personnel.  Does anyone have that?

   District gags 14-year-olds after 'gay' indoctrination: 'Confidentiality' 
promise requires students 'not to tell their parents'

   It is important to understand the distinction between endorsed speech in 
schools and allowed speech in schools. When something is mandatory and the 
kids must attend, then it is endorsed speech. This is not a matter of 
freedom of speech; rather, it is pushing an agenda. As I’ve said before, 
homosexuals have made the public schools their recruiting grounds for years.
   Citizen Link broke this.
   Parents of freshmen at Chicago's Deerfield High School say students are 
required to attend lectures on gay sexuality, and then sign a contract 
forbidding them to talk about it afterward.
   Ellen Waltz's son and his friends told her about the lectures -- 
delivered by other students -- and the contract.
   "[They said,] 'We had to sit there and listen to them tell us about their 
feelings and what it's like to be gay,' " Waltz said. "They make them sign a 
contract stating that they won't say anything that's in the room."
   Lora Sue Hauser, a school-issues adviser for North Shore Student 
Advocacy, said a group of boys told her school officials threatened those 
who were reluctant to sign the contract.
   "[They were told] 'You will sign this or you will go to the dean,' " 
Hauser said.

   More details from World Net Daily:

   Officials at Deerfield High School in Deerfield, Ill., have ordered their 
14-year-old freshman class into a "gay" indoctrination seminar, after having 
them sign a confidentiality agreement promising not to tell their parents.
   "This is unbelievable," said Matt Barber, policy director for cultural 
issues for Concerned Women for America. "It's not enough that students at 
Deerfield High are being exposed to improper and offensive material relative 
to unhealthy and high-risk homosexual behavior, but they've essentially been 
told by teachers to lie to their parents about it."
   In what CWA called a "shocking and brazen act of government abuse of 
parental rights," the school's officials required the 14-year-olds to attend 
a "Gay Straight Alliance Network" panel discussion led by "gay" and 
"lesbian" upperclassmen during a "freshman advisory" class which 
"secretively featured inappropriate discussions of a sexual nature in 
promotion of high-risk homosexual behaviors."
   "This goes to the heart of the homosexual agenda," Barber said. "The 
professional propagandists in the 'gay-rights' lobby know the method all too 
well. If you can maintain control of undeveloped and impressionable youth 
and spoon-feed them misinformation, lies and half-truths about dangerous, 
disordered and extremely risky behaviors, then you can control the future 
and ensure that those behaviors are not only fully accepted, but 
celebrated."
   He said not only is forcing students to be exposed to the pro-homosexual 
propaganda bad enough, but then school officials further required that 
students sign the "confidentiality agreement" through which they promised 
not to tell anyone - including their own parents - about the seminar.
   Barber said that also aligns with the goals of the disinformation 
campaign being run by those in the pro-homosexual camp. "That's what 
homosexual activists from GSA are attempting to do, and that's what DHS is 
clearly up to as well."
