Christian conservative Linda Harvey has
accused LGBT rights groups and “vicious homosexual bloggers” of
bullying Christian students.
Harvey, the founder of the Columbus,
Ohio-based Mission America and a frequent contributor to the
conservative website WND.com, lamented in a BarbWire op-ed the school
adoption of bullying prevention programs from the “gay-stapo.”
“Activists both inside and outside
America’s schools are pushing kids toward homosexuality and gender
change while demonizing conservative values that would steer them
elsewhere,” Harvey
wrote. “The teacher’s unions are on board, and the gay-stapo
hopes no concerned parent or astute student recognizes that hand
grenades are being thrown into the school environment. Critics of
current religious freedom bills might want to take a look at the
behavior of activists at the schoolhouse before they dismiss those
measures as 'unnecessary.'”
“Using disruptive, anti-child
advocacy, the Human Rights Campaign (promoters of the grade school
gender confusion program, 'Welcoming Schools') and GLSEN (sponsor of
the victim-posturing 'Day of Silence,' held in April in public
schools) are busy corrupting children with misinformation and
hyperbole about bullying, all laced with explicit 'gay' sexual
messages.”
“The real tragedy is that these
groups in reality exploit vulnerable and fragile kids, all the while
espousing great compassion and, disingenuously, 'tolerance' as a
motive. And let’s just be frank: there’s one type of bully in
the current climate almost never held accountable: the verbally
combative homosexual, lesbian or cross-dresser who taunts and insults
others. In the adult world, this is personified by vicious
homosexual bloggers who spread lies, distortions, and have called me
and others vulgarities I’d never attribute to my worst enemy, but
to them, it’s their daily bread. How these people have gotten any
traction is beyond unbelievable. They’d never last two weeks in
the corporate environment.”
“Then there are students who fall
into this category. I know of several situations where life was made
a living hell for peers by troubled 'gay' adolescents whose
destructive actions went unpunished.”
“But if anyone thinks these
desperately discontented people will stop their assault at
Christians, think again. First, they came for the Christians and the
children…,” Harvey concluded.
