The Washington, D.C., Board of Education will vote next month on “Healthy Learning Standards” that would encourage condom use and teach eighth-graders that they “may begin to feel romantically and/or sexually attracted to people of a different gender and/or to people of the same gender.”
Calling such lessons “healthy learning” is misleading, said Candi Cushman, education analyst for Focus on the Family Action.
Randy Thomas, executive vice president of Exodus International, agrees.
“Parents need to be aware of the fact that in many school districts across the nation, the promotion of homosexuality is coming in stealthily under titles like ‘health learning standards’ or ‘family life education,'" Thomas said. The new "standards" appear to push a one-sided perspective of homosexuality.
“They only present homosexuality as something positive," he said, "whereas, as a former homosexual, I know what its like, and it’s not all positive, it’s not all perfect."
