Deviants
"Gay Students Being Left Behind Study Shows ," by Doreen Brandt, 365Gay.com, Washington Bureau, http://www.365gay.com/newscon05/01/010605schools.htm, 6 January 2005 (from Democratic Underground).
Sometimes, a post should be written specifically to irritate Rob.
Good news
(Washington) A national study of schools shows that 95 percent have little or no gay, lesbian or bisexual resources in their counseling services and only one percent have transgender resource.
Better news
The results, released Thursday, show schools are not responding to the needs of gay students.
Best news
Seventy percent of the school had no training for educators/staff on how to stop GLBT bullying and 92 percent had no programs to train students how to stop GLBT bullying.
Nearly two thirds of the schools did not include gay, lesbian or bisexual students in their harassment/non-discrimination policies, and 84 percent had little or no resources for parents about GLBT issues.
"Natural" human behavior covers a wide range of activities. Certainly more than are appropriate for polite conversation. But not every "natural" act is naturally tolerated, or naturally normal. If homosexualists argue that their behavior is natural, then so is the deviation and stigmatization that behavior implies.

!!?
So you're applauding that they have no resources to counsel victims of anti-homosexual harrasment?

No, just applauding that schools will not be pushing ideological agendas.
