Parents Booted from Campus for Taping Pro-Homosexual Events

(AgapePress) - Two parents outraged over a homosexual awareness day at a Massachusetts high school were kicked off the campus after a mom began videotaping the event.

Newton North High School in Newtonville recently held a "Transgender, Bisexual, Gay and Lesbian Awareness Day." Students at the school were allowed to ditch classes and attend assemblies and workshops with titles such as "Out at the Old Ballgame" and "Color Me Queer." Presentations also included frank discussions advocating sodomy.

Parent Brian Camenker, who kept his son home that day, says the presentations by homosexual activists were bizarre and morally offensive.

"One [speaker] in particular talked about how [he considered] his older brother ... a role model [and how] his older brother came out as a gay boy -- and so he did that too," Camenker says. "And then he went on to talk about how he fell in love with his sister's husband."

Camenker and another parent were ordered to leave the campus and were threatened with arrest (for trespassing) after the other parent began videotaping the school assembly. He says they were told they had one minute to leave.

"It makes you feel like you're in Nazi Germany ... or a communist country because, you know, these people are bound and determined to indoctrinate people's kids in homosexuality, whether parents like it or not," he says. "And the idea that a parent could be threatened with arrest [is] absolutely outrageous. Believe me, this hasn't ended yet."

Camenker says he plans to complain loudly to the school committee and other parents.
