Christian conservative Linda Harvey on
Tuesday accused school anti-bullying programs of “selling gay
behavior.”
Harvey, the founder of the Columbus,
Ohio-based Mission America and a frequent contributor to the
conservative website WND.com, told her radio listeners to watch out
for the group GLSEN, which works to create a safe space at schools
for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender teens.
Harvey criticized the group's upcoming
Ally Week,
taking place this year on October 21-25, describing it as part of a
“re-education” plan to “pressure” students.
“It's not appropriate for schools to
allow this since, once again, it's a back door way to get people to
give approval to known high-risk, immoral, troubling behavior,”
Harvey
stated. She went on to urge schools to cancel Ally Week since “no
responsible organization or school should be selling gay behavior to
kids in the first place.”
