Alabama's Anti-Bullying Law Could Further Gay Agenda

 

Alabama schools are now required to write stricter anti-bullying policies, thanks to language in a bill that opens the door to the gay agenda.

The new law is problematic because it puts the focus on the motivations and "characteristics" of victims, rather than on the wrong actions of the bullies.

Betty Peters, a member of the Alabama education board, said the bill would allow gay activists to work their language and curriculum into schools.

"We need to punish all bullies," she said, "regardless of their motivation."

Peters said gay activists are encouraging like-minded individuals to sign up for local committees that will be responsible for writing similar policies.  She encouraged parents who oppose the gay agenda to do the same.

"They should let their local boards know that they want all children to be protected," she said.

Parents should watch out for attempts to mandate special protections for "gender identity" and "sexual orientation"— which can pave the way for pro-gay curriculum and mandatory "diversity" training.
