I read the confidentiality agreement - it seems to be more about respect for your fellow students, and provides a blueprint for a better classroom learning environment. This agreement is signed by all students in a freshman life management type class - but I see no correlation that the agreement has anything specifically to do with homosexuality, but respect for you fellow students.
In this class, sexuality just happens to be one of the topics of discussion (heterosexuality, homosexuality, the broad spectrum). The book used in the class probably has a game card activity after every chapter/section, so to find one outlining common sexual terminology isn't surprising.
This same high school also had a prominent gay youth speaker visit, who has also written fictional books featuring characters who are growing up gay. He's a motivational speaker - it's not like he went into an assymbly trying to convert children. This assymbly was clearly about helping clear common misconception about gay people; it, without a doubt, gave support to the teens in the audience that are gay, but are not out of the closet.
They then go on to charge that Alex is somehow telling kids how to go to gay bars, with the title on the page being "GAY BARS FROM ALEX SANCHEZ WEB SITE" , even though they admit that the "?Student Resources? link on his website leads to the GLBT National Health Center where students can find listings of many local gay bars and clubs.......". So he has a link to another organizations website, and they are holding him responsible for the content that is not even on his website?!?!
They then take excerpts from a play from 2001 where students used expletives and talked about Jesus. They're High School students for Christ sake - I don't know how that really correlates to the topic of homosexual indoctrination...in fact...I don't see how any of this does. I feel like this whole scenario is being presented by the Society for the Argumentatively Inept. :roll:
