Focus on Family says anti-bullying efforts in schools push gay agenda - The Denver Post

As kids head back to school, conservative Christian media ministry Focus on the Family perceives a bully on the playground: national gay-advocacy groups.

School officials allow these outside groups to introduce policies, curriculum and library books under the guise of diversity, safety or bullying-prevention initiatives, said Focus on the Family education expert Candi Cushman.

"We feel more and more that activists are being deceptive in using anti-bullying rhetoric to introduce their viewpoints, while the viewpoint of Christian students and parents are increasingly belittled," Cushman said.

Public schools increasingly convey that homosexuality is normal and should be accepted, Cushman said, while opposing viewpoints by conservative Christians are portrayed as bigotry.



Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

opposing viewpoints by conservative Christians are portrayed as bigotry.

that would be because they are. Does she suggest that bullying be allowed, encouraged even ? I hope it won't be her child that commits suicide out of lonely desolation from having nowhere to turn. Or does she imagine her family is morally immune ? I think she should talk to a few catholic priests about moral immunity.

I take this as a hopeful sign Fundies are slowly beginning to realize they have lost the debate.
