Attorney Claims Homosexual Students Often Incite Reactions on Campus

(AgapePress) - A Christian attorney says homosexual groups are teaching student activists in public schools to use provocative behavior to goad other students into acting hostilely toward them.
Five years of litigation recently came to a close when six homosexual students represented by the American Civil Liberties Union won a $1.1 million settlement against the Morgan Hill Unified School District [PDF] in California. The students claim they were bullied and harassed because of their sexual orientation. As a result of the settlement, the entire school district is now required to implement a "sensitivity training" program designed to shield homosexuals from bullying.
Scott Lively, president of the California-based Pro-Family Law Center, believes this is the latest in a series of settlements resulting from a deliberate strategy by the homosexual political movement.
"Their goal is to transform American public schools into centers of pro-gay activity and training," he says. "They want the schools to advance the gay agenda through 'sensitivity training,' 'diversity' days, [and by] including homosexuality in curricula, etcetera."
Lively says student activists who flaunt their homosexual behavior in front of students considered to be "rednecks or jocks" often succeed in forcing their school to adopt an anti-bullying policy that embraces a pro-homosexual perspective, because if the school does not take action they are likely to be sued. The attorney says schools do not need a special anti-harassment policy for homosexuals only.
"Instead of following the 'civil rights model' of dividing people according to color or race or whatever and then giving them protection based on their membership in the group, [schools' should give them protection based on the fact that they're an individual human being worthy of respect," he says.
Lively advises parents who do not want their children to be indoctrinated with a pro-homosexual point of view to put their children in a Christian school or home school them.
