High school gives award to ‘genderqueer and pansexual’ for his ‘personal bravery’

Image
Another high school graduation has been marred by politically correct fecklessness. This time it wasn’t a controversy over a student’s speech that marred the event but instead an award that tainted what should have been a joyous family affair. This year, Deerfield High School on Chicago’s affluent North Shore awarded one of its highest honors, the John F. Kennedy Medal of Honor award, to a student who very publicly “identifies” as  “genderqueer and pansexual.” As  reported  by the  Chicago Tribune , “Earning the John F. Kennedy Medal of Honor this year was Sorrel Rosin . Principal Kathryn Anderson  said the award is given to a person who demonstrates courage in the pursuit of excellence.” Former principal Audris Griffith  described the JFK Medal of Honor as “an award the high school gives out to students exemplifying personal bravery and responsible action.” What did Rosin do to deserve this award? Apparently, he received this award for ident...

Stereotype of ‘bullied, at-risk’ homosexual youth queried

Image
An education researcher has queried the stereotype of the “ bullied ” or “at-risk” homosexual youth, suggesting it is a construction of scientific literature that may be counter-productive. University of New England academic Tiffany Jones appears to have broken ranks from many colleagues in the field by ­highlighting the deficiencies of some advocacy-driven research studies, particularly those presenting gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, intersex and queer ( GLBTIQ ) youth as victims of ­homophobic bullying. It is an extraordinary admission given Professor Jones’s role as a collaborator on a high-profile research project , the 2010 Writing Themselves In 3 study, which has propagated this view and formed the basis for education policy across the country, including the Safe Schools gender and sexual diversity program. In a paper published in the  Journal of Sex Education , Professor Jones argues that the “bullied GLBTIQ student” is a recent emergence constructed by re...

Radical legislation aims to mainstream homosexuality, transgenderism in New York

Image
Pro-abortion and LGBT activists are pushing New York City's Department of Education to incorporate gender ideology and LGBT issues into curricula for K-12 students. The proposed legislation also requires regular accountability from the City's Education Department regarding school compliance with the state on certain sex education programs for middle and high school students. "It's time we discuss sex education in an affirming way that includes all the identities that our students may identify with and continue to review and expand on the curriculum as the times change," said transgender/bisexual-identified man Bryan Ellicott, a former NYC public school student and current LGBTQ activist, in a   report   from   The Brooklyn Reader . "I want our New York City school children to be more knowledgeable and the ability to make better choices than I was, more able to possibly live in their own skin more comfortably." New York City Council member L...

Demonic deception "A life I know is right"?

Image
Below is an article of a young man growing in his knowledge of sexuality but influenced by culture, sin, and the GBLT mantra. This can only lead to great sadness as this is deception fostered upon the young and naive. Pure deception: "Living a life I know is right"  "I wish I could be more open about it' When Ben * told the principal at his independent high school that he was gay, the principal said he could stay at the school provided he was not public about his sexuality.  ''It's sort of similar to don't ask, don't tell - don't bring it up, don't come out to the entire school.'' Ben's life, by his own admission, is ''sheltered''. His lives and goes to school in Sydney's western suburbs and comes from a religious family. Some of his peers have ''rejected'' him because they felt gay people were ''weird and wrong''. Homophobic gibes in the playground are ubiquitous,...

‘Transgender’ teen girl wins access to boy’s high school bathroom

Image
NEWCASTLE, Ontario ,  – A girl who identifies herself as a boy has been given permission to use the boy’s bathroom at her Ontario public high school . Sixteen-year-old ‘James’ Spencer decided to change schools after she began dressing and acting like a boy. Officials at Clarke High School in Durham Region were at first reluctant to let the biological girl into the boy’s room, asking James to use a private washroom that required a key from the main office.  But James started a school-wide petition that eventually swayed the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board to let her have her way. “We decided it would be most appropriate ... and that’s the direction we’ve taken,”  said  Martin Twiss, the board’s superintendent of education to The Star. The School’s dress code policy  states  that students are to dress “neatly, in good taste, and in a manner which is appropriate for the school, workplace or an out-of-school activity.” Pro-family lead...

Swedish high school student fails bio class for saying homosexuality ‘abnormal’

Image
English: Sweden. Stockholm County. Nynäshamn (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) LONDON , July 27, 2012  — A Swedish high-school student recently failed a biology class for saying that homosexuality is abnormal, according to Swedish national news-site , svt.se. The site  reports  that a grade 8 student at Nynäshamn Highschool in Stockholm County , Sweden , expressed the opinion that homosexuality was “onormalt” — literally “abnormal” — and, as a result, received a failing grade. When the student questioned the grade, the teacher reportedly replied that it was because of the student’s opinions. The goal of the school’s curriculum, the teacher said, was that students show respect for different sexual orientations , and the student’s views did not correspond with that goal. Any expert in biology would clearly understand the design and function of biological sexual organs, that match and perform a biological function. For the penis to be inserted in the male anus (the o...

Ontario high school selects ‘transgender’ man as prom queen

Image
TRENTON, Ontario, July 5, 2012 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) - At their graduation prom on June 22, attendees at  Trenton High School  voted an 18-year-old man who now lives as a woman to be this year’s prom queen . Connor Ferguson, who said he was “really surprised” at being made prom queen, told  the Trentonian , “I’ve lived as I am for four years now, so I believe the ‘shock value’ is gone and most people just accept me for me.” He had high praise for his school which he said is very tolerant of homosexual and transgendered students, attributing this to the anti-bullying campaign the school holds annually. “It took some time for quite a few people, but the school and staff definitely helped with that, and my group of friends was endlessly supportive. I think people accept you a lot more when you stick up for yourself and have enough confidence to be yourself,” Ferguson said. Asked what he would advise people who he described as “trans-phobic,” Connor said, “I would wan...

Biola University & homosexual students coming from public schools

Image
Biola University (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) This latest news about the existence of the " Biola Queer Underground " should set alarm bells ringing. Faculty and administration of Christian colleges all over the country are learning that LGBT students exist on campus, and it is getting increasingly difficult to ignore these students or expect them to stay silent and invisible. The students of BQU are not demanding that Biola University change its policy against same-sex sexual intimacy. They are asking to be open about their identities without fear of repercussions.  They want to attend a Christian college but ignore scripture and its mandate. Last year One Wheaton , a group of LGBT Wheaton students and graduates, expressed similar concerns about Wheaton College , about the fear and hiding and hurt they've experienced as students there. This year GCN ( Gay Christian Network ) executive director Justin Lee has been travelling and speaking at Christian college...

Image
FORT WORTH, Texas , October 11, 2011 - The Texas school where a teen was punished for saying homosexuality was wrong has apologized and stated the boy “has the right to express an opinion in a manner consistent with law and policy.” The Fort Worth Independent School District has issued a letter fully vindicating high school freshman Dakota Ary, who was given in-school suspension for telling another student that he believes homosexuality is wrong because of his Christian faith .

The district’s letter will be placed in Dakota’s permanent file to further clear his record. The controversy surrounded an incident that happened when Dakota was in Kristopher Franks ’ German language class at Western Hills High School and the topic of homosexuality arose.
