(Just read this article and ask yourself why progressives have to go after our children by teaching their (these) values to our children. If they don't want to teach Christian values in our schools, why would they find this acceptable?)

Gay Curriculum Aimed at Middle School Students Posted by Catherine Snow
Under the pretext of developing “safe school” curriculum, a textbook publishing company is releasing middle school curriculum to address the needs of gay-, lesbian-, and transgender-identified students.
In response to the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network’s (GLSEN) national school climate survey, which indicated that just 6 percent of school libraries contained gay-related resources, Mason Crest Publishing will introduce this fall a 15-book series called, “The Gallup’s Modern Guide to Gay, Lesbian & Transgender Life.”
The curriculum purports to address significant topics, including social and political stigmas, bullying, family structures, etc.
“For us, it’s a crucial age where you can develop the thinking and the awareness and the open-mindedness to students,” says Louis Cohen, principal and creative director for Mason Crest Publishing.
The values students acquire outside of school are purposefully challenged by this book series.
“Maybe their peers or their parents or their social networks,” says Louis Cohen, “aren’t going to really spell things out for them in a way that lets them, you know, take a good opinion of something and they’re very impressionable.”
Candi Cushman, CitizenLink’s education analyst, said this educational trend is one-sided, irresponsible and potentially damaging – in terms of their spiritual, psychological, emotional and physical health.
“We’re seeing more and more advocacy publishers targeting kids – at younger and younger ages – with materials that promote homosexuality,” said Cushman. “Children may then be pushed into prematurely embracing a sexual identity they may not be ready to handle.”
Cushman said that social science data has shown that a significant percentage of children, starting at age 12, and that uncertainty may not solidify until age the age of 17 or 18.
“Clearly, the middle and high school years are a crucial and vulnerable time for children who are developing in many ways,” said Cushman. “Schools certainly shouldn’t be opening their doors to messages that push children into prematurely embracing a sexual identity based on the demands of outside advocacy groups.”

No ‘decent’ person… gay or straight, liberal or conservative, religious or not believes or can justify that teaching sexual behaviors with graphic illustration in public schools is acceptable; especially to elementary, junior high students or to ever curious high school kids; and certainly not without parents’ permission. We should be teaching our children general morals and decency in school… not promoting sexual activity or experimentation!

It appears that progressives are attempting to not only increase awareness but also bring those students who may be on the fence about homosexuality 'out of the closet' by 'stepping out' and embracing their thoughts and feelings. Ultimately their goal is to mainstream their views to it will be odd to challenge them.
