Safe Supportive Schools Defined

We have been told all along that the homosexual/transgender community simply wants “safe” schools for all children. It appears, however, that the tune has changed to “safe and supportive” schools.

A recent Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA) newsletter states that an upcoming “Expression Not Suppression” conference in Fresno will be presented for youth activists dedicated to “defeating homophobia and transphobia and creating safe and supportive schools for everyone.”

Safe is one thing. Supportive is another.

All of us want safety on school campus. That is why CRI advocates for discipline issues on campus to be dealt with swiftly and directly.

When the term “supportive” is used, this means that religious students will be forced to embrace sexual lifestyles that go against what they believe the Bible teaches. This is a suppression of personal beliefs and convictions. It is the opposite of tolerance-it is the forcing of one view upon another, allowing no room to disagree or dialogue.
