I attended the BOE meeting tonight, and was one of the last speakers near midnight before the public hearing was continued until next Monday night, May 18, at 6:30 PM, at Will C. Wood Middle School’s Multipurpose Room.

Those who submitted speaker slips tonight but did not speak will have first crack at speaking (this time for only TWO minutes, not three) Monday night. Their names will be called in the order that speaker slips were submitted tonight, and approximate time slots and names will be posted on AUSD’s Web site later this week.

I was saddened by the misinformation evident in many opponent’s comments tonight, as evidenced by READ’s comment above: the LGBT-specific curriculum supplement is to be added to existing curricula on other forms of harassment and discrimination based on gender, race, religion, nationality, etc. Adding the CSC lesson 9 to these existing lessons will simply give LGBT parents and students equal visibility to members of these other “protected classes.”

Sure, as you say, teaching that “Families have all sorts of configurations, incorporating grandparents and cousins, step-siblings and stepfathers, same gender couples.” However, the curriculm is not about all these family configurations…it is about same sex marriages. The first couple lessons are about ALL families. Great! Love it! But after 1st grade (if you actually read what is going to be taught instead of just writing your party’s line) the lessons are only about teaching that homosexual marriage is good.

I am not homophobic, I just think all groups shoudl be treated equally…and there are plenty of groups that dont have special curriculm…divorced families, single parent families, mixed race families…everyone is exposed to teasing.

I feel like this curriculm is the gay community’s attempt to ensure that same sex marriage will be legalized by future generations (duhh right?)…and they are taking their political fight into our schools and burdening our teachers and our school boards with the work of their political agenda.

Let adults decide what is right and wrong, dont put it on the elementary school kids!

If you are really worried about suicide rates, this proposal should make you furious!

It does nothing for Middle and High School, nothing for the majority of harassment which by the way does NOT deal with these LGBT issues.

The proposal which has been supported by a series of un-truths fed to the public by AUSD does not even meet the guidelines of the new anti-harassment laws.
