An elementary school teacher packed a powerful punch in a two-minute testimony last month against a proposed law that would require teachers to affirm homosexual, lesbian, and transgender students. Her testimony occurred during a July 10 California  Senate Education Committee  hearing regarding  AB 493 , a measure known as “Teachers: lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning pupil resources and training.” Speaking before the panel of liberal California politicians, Rachel Olsen – a 20-year veteran of the school system – referred to the training she had recently received from a program run by a contractor,  Queerly Elementary.    “I was told to use preferred pronouns to address students, to stop referring to students by their biological genders as boys and girls, and to teach sexual orientation and various gender identities,” said Olsen.   The purpose of the training being given is to “seek to coerce teachers and students to accept and express i

They are proposing to expel the exhibitors of the NEA Ex-Gay Educators’ Caucus.  All in the name of tolerance and diversity, of course. Here’s the resolution, published this morning in the convention agenda: "Be it moved that the NEA implement its own rules and regulations on ‘Becoming an Exhibitor’ to NEA caucuses AND IMMEDIATELY REMOVE THE EXHIBIT ENTITLED ‘NEA EX-GAY EDUCATORS’ from the exhibit hall on the grounds that this exhibit violates existing NEA exhibitor standards. These standards state that Exhibitors may not distribute materials that are offensive, distracting, or discriminatory." Leaving homosexuality is “discriminatory?” Only among those af
