From the July 2000 Idaho Observer:

Massachusetts model state for national gay/lesbian agenda

by Ingri Cassel

After discovering in 1999 that an aggressive pro-homosexuality agenda was being supported by the Massachusetts Department of Education, Brian Cammacher, a concerned parent, discovered that the problem is more sinister than most people could ever imagine: Students aged 12-14 were being bussed from several counties in the state to attend events that can only be described as homosexuality workshops complete with graphic descriptions on how to engage in deviant sexual behavior.

Last year Cammacher, who lives in a Boston suburb, witnessed for himself a traveling exhibit entitled “Multicultural Families: Helping Fight Racism” that was touring the public schools. He went to see the exhibit himself since his son's class had been spending quite a bit of time with it.

The exhibit portrayed pictures of bi-racial couples along with homosexual couples. He noted statements written by children who said that were trying to cure their parents of “racist” and “homophobic” sentiments.

Later that year he examined his 11-year-old daughter's health class workbook in which the stated goal of the course was that “the children should appreciate and take pride in their sexual orientation.”

When he complained to the school, his concerns were dismissed. He was accused of not understanding and being intolerant. He was told that, “its not about sex; it's about civil rights and tolerance.”

It was also noted that all area public schools participated in “Gay Appreciation Days” - a week in which children were further indoctrinated with the concept that the gay lifestyle is normal. A pamphlet that was distributed during this week states, “If you've never slept with someone of the same sex, how do you know you wouldn't prefer it?”

In an article entitled, “Homosexual Agenda in Massachusett's Schools” by Massachusetts Constitutional Party committeeman Scott T. Whiteman, Massachusetts is described as being the model state for promoting the homosexual agenda in the nation's public schools.

According to Whiteman, it all started in 1992 when Massachusetts Governor William Weld created by executive order the “Governor's Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth” under the guise of preventing gay youth suicide. The commission was comprised of 16 homosexual activists. Whiteman reported that one commission member, David LaFontaine, had organized an event to throw condoms at newly ordained priests at Holy Cross Cathedral in Boston and that another commission member had been convicted of breaking into a dynamite factory.

From 1993 to 1996, this commission began writing manuals on “Making Schools Safer for Gay and Lesbian Youth”, including the mandatory hiring of gay teachers, required seminars for teachers to learn homosexual affirmation, and the formation of curriculum for the study of gay and lesbian issues. The Massachusetts state budget has been appropriating money to the commission through the Department of Health and the Department of Education. The money appropriated to the Commission reached a record $1.5 million in 1998. Massuchusettes is currently the most “gay friendly” state in the country with 180 Gay/Straight Alliances (GSAs) in both public and private schools. Throughout the country there are over 700 GSA clubs in schools coordinated by national homosexual activist groups and implemented by state departments of public health and education.

Adolescents bussed to gay and lesbian sex expo

On March 25, 2000, Whiteman attended an event sponsored by the Gay, Lesbian, Straight Education Network and Project 10, both of whom receive funding from the Department of Education's $1.5 million appropriation. Numerous gay-friendly teachers and administrators received “professional developmental credits” for attending the event. Building more GSAs and expanding homosexual teaching into the lower grades in Massachusetts were some of the goals.

In one workshop run by two Department of Education employees and one Department of Health employee, a group of 30 children were given graphic instructions in how to participate in homosexual sex. The workshop was presented in a “fun” way to get children to open up and talk about homosexual sex as well as to give them tips on “how to do it better.” In one session entitled, “Struggles & Triumphs of Including Homosexuality in a Middle School Curriculum,” a special education teacher told how she turned the Holocaust portion of her curriculum into a “gay affirming” section. She shared a video produced by her students in which a seventh grade girl is narrating. The girl on the video tells us that the ancient Greeks “encouraged homosexuals; in fact, it was considered normal for an adolescent boy to have an older, wiser man as his lover.”

In this way our youth are conditioned into believing that it is okay for an older man to approach them for sexual gratification.

Most of the literature distributed at the conference was aimed at children and contained incredibly disturbing material which encouraged young children to become actively involved in homosexual activities. Planned Parenthood reportedly provided condoms to any child who wanted them.

A pocket sized “sex kit” was distributed at the Sidney Borum Health Center booth. It contained two condoms, two antiseptic moist towelettes, and six bandages. According to the teenage volunteer manning the table, the bandages were for “when the sex got really rough.”

Children as young as 12 and 13 attended this conference, even being bussed from other counties so that they could attend the event. Parents who protested were accused of being intolerant and homophobic. Parents were not told what their children were learning and were purposely kept in the dark with regard to the subject matter of this conference. Parents who found out and protested report that they were ignored and ridiculed. As of this writing, Mass. Department of Education officials maintain publicly that these classes are about tolerance, civil rights and even human rights; but not about sex.

If it's not about sex then what is it when public employees who visit GSAs teach our children how to participate in lewd and deplorable acts of sodomy and lesbian sex?
