News Release: Obama Pushes Homosexual Agenda in Schools

April 20, 2012   //   0 Comments

Today President Obama took another step down the path of pushing the normalization of homosexuality on our nation’s school children — endorsement of the homosexual-affirming bills Student Non-Discrimination Act (SNDA) — S 555 and the Safe Schools Improvement Act (SSIA) — S 506. The American Family Association of Pennsylvania (AFA of PA), a child advocacy and traditional values group, recognizes the danger these endorsements pose to students. The AFA of PA believes all students should be provided a safe learning environment. That includes not encouraging them to engage in homosexual activity and telling students about the dangers inherent in that lifestyle choice.

However, the ACLU even recognizes that the silence cannot be legally maintained during instructional time.

What will the Board do about Athletic Director Tim Curley who is on administrative leave? 2.)

In their search for a new president, will the board heed warnings such as those that were registered with them in 1995 as they were on the verge of hiring Graham Spanier?
