The 'Recruiting' of Children into Accepting Homosexuality: How Homosexuality in Schools Furthers an Agenda

the words of the authors (Timothy J. Dailey, Ph. D., Don Schmierer, and Peter Sprigg) of this Family Research Council paper are well-chosen... any parent, myself included, would shudder at the thought of his or her child being unknowingly "recruited" into anything... but the inference, if you take the time to read the entire piece, is that, whether or not you approve or disapprove of homosexuality, there should be no requirement or expectation that homosexuals be treated with tolerance and respect... they tackle that issue obliquely ...
[Being] inclusive of all kinds of families ... is presented as protecting the self-esteem of students whose adult caretakers have non-traditional lifestyles. (Of course, similar respect should be granted to children whose parents are alcoholics, drug dealers, or criminals--but such respect does not imply that it's necessary to be affirming of the choices made by the adults in their lives.)

but what if it's the KID who's making the choice...? hate the sin and not the sinner...? doesn't sound like it...

it's not until the last paragraph that they make clear what they mean by "recruitment..."

But in at least one sense, pro-homosexual activists in our schools do indeed "recruit children." What they seek to do is "recruit children"--100 percent of our children, "gay" or straight--as soldiers in their war against truth, common sense, and traditional moral values. That's one recruitment drive that has no place on the campuses of America's public schools.

"war against truth, common sense, and traditional moral values..." like i have any interest in waging war against truth... ~rolls eyes~
