The "next logical step" has been taken by the social change agents. This pamphlet was distributed to 7th graders (12 and 13 year old kids) in junior high schools in the Brookline, Mass. school district. It was authorized by the Mass. Dept. of Public Health, which was listed in the acknowledgements. WARNING: EXTREMELY GRAPHIC AND EXPLICIT. Do not look at this if you are squeamish about or easily upset by this sort of thing. Don't say I didn't warn you. http://www.article8.org/docs/news_events/glsen_043005/black_book/black_book_inside.htm
the school says they didnt distrubute it, and the people who make the pamphlet say it is not intended for kids. the suprintendent of schools says he has been assured the claim is false. my guess is this is all lies and scare tactics from the anti gay marriage activist group. but i bet you want it to be true. also it was a high school, not a middle school. and it wasnt while school was in session. the gay fags had rented the place for an event. the homos claim they had no intent for the pamplet to go to anyone under 18. furthermore, the only the reason they say it was being "distributed" was because a parent picked it up from a table. nobody gave it to her. no kid had it. very dishonest the way this story is being presented by the christian groups.
lie count: 1. calling a high school a middle school. 2. saying the pamphlet was "distributed", when it was actually just sitting on a table. 3. implying it was presented to kids during school, when the event was actually not during school and the school was rented out to the gay group for some sort of gay ass event (on a saturday). unless you are sending your kids to gay conferences, they will not be finding one of the copies of the pamphlet. 4. the pamphlet was not "authorized" by the dept of public health. the gay group had the dept listed in their people to thank on ther booklet. certainly it was not authorized for distribution to middle school kids, nor was it. 5. when you say "junior high schools", the word schools is plural, but this happened one time, and zero times at a middle school. so dishonest. learn to read multiple sources and real news when an issue is politically charged.
I am appalled that this sort of thing is included in hospital incubators. NO WAY should newborns be told they're homos before they decide they are. Period.
The fact that something like this was ever put into print is damaging enough. Martin, can you provide proof that the claims from the above link are false? Trust me, I pray you can.
of course i can. check the date the thing happened. april 30. it was a saturday, check your caledar. read the story in the boston papers. there was a conference on some sort of gay issues on a saturday. at the conference a woman picked up the pamphlet on a table. that's all that happened. even the linked article says it was " Brookline High" jetstorm must have made up the middle school part. thats how urban legends work. people that tell the story add little details that they like or conveniently misremember. "Brookline Superintendent William H. Lupini said GLSEN rented the high school for the event." "Sally Turner, a retired Carlisle mother, said she picked up the booklet at a table at Brookline High School set up by Fenway Community Health" http://news.bostonherald.com/localRegional/view.bg?articleid=83610 the news says nothing about any kids having the thing distributed to them, and i would assume most students arent at school on a saturday, unless they are morons and voluntarily attend a saturday gay conference. schools rent out their facilities to various groups, like scout groups or elections of the vfw or whatever. what happens at those events is not the same as the school that you send your kids to. but these christian groups are bullsh!tting you, trying to scare you into thinking a middle school is indoctrinating kids. what happened was some dumb faggot brought some of these things and left them on a table and some woman picked them up. at first the gays denied that, but since then they admit some jerkass brought less than 10 of them and left them on a table. this religious group sent representatives to the conference to check it out, and it was one of them who picked up the thing and got angry, so says the newspaper: http://www.boston.com/news/educatio...05/19/explicit_pamphlets_displayed_at_school/ "Brian Camenker, Article 8 Alliance's executive director, said he had encouraged members to attend the conference as observers, and one member brought the pamphlet to his attention. Sally Turner, 73, of Carlisle, an Article 8 Alliance supporter who attended the conference, said she picked up literature from each of the tables" article 8 is a anti-gay marriage group. look at their site that jetstorm linked. no normal parents would ever care, because why would they send their kids to a gay thing? this gay group had rented the school. it was not a school board thing. it wasnt the school system giving out gay crap to middle school kids while they are trying to learn like jetstorm dishonestly implied. one high school, on a saturday, when school is out, during a conference the gays had rented the place for. not: lie. the gay group was not very reliable either, first denying it entirely, then realizing some dude actually did leave the thing out. thats why you dont just read one side of the story and believe that. dont get me wrong i think gays are disgusting (well male ones at least) and their political activist groups are retarded. i would never let my kid go to this stupid fag fest. i am only pointing out that people love to lie, and even jetstorm is more than happy to spread misinformation if it suits his politics. i actually enjoyed reading the pamphlet. it was funny.
Maybe it's completely factual, martin. Maybe they DO go to school on a Saturday and thus are middle school aged, yet actually in high school. And the renting of the gym was only a front for their seedy "Indoctrinate the Children in Homodom" movement. Ever think about that? Huh? Yea, exactly!
Gosh, I take a few days off for an extended Memorial Day bash, and I come back to martin calling me a liar. Where to begin? How about with a Boston Globe article on the subject: Explicit pamphlets displayed at school Health center regrets mistake By Joanna Weiss, Globe Staff | May 19, 2005 "A community health organization apologized yesterday for bringing a sexually explicit pamphlet for young gay men to a recent conference at Brookline High School on gay and lesbian issues that was attended by high school and middle school students. ADVERTISEMENT Fenway Community Health officials yesterday said they left about 10 copies of the ''Little Black Book" on an informational table they rented at a conference sponsored by the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network of Boston. The annual event, held on April 30 at Brookline High School, was aimed at high school students, educators, counselors, administrators, and parents. The ''Little Black Book," produced by the AIDS Action Committee of Massachusetts, is targeted at 18-and-older gay men, according to the committee. The book uses vivid descriptions and colloquial terms to describe the ways HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases can be prevented and spread. A Fenway Community Health employee brought the pamphlets along with other materials and put them on the table by mistake, said Chris Viveiros, a spokesman for Fenway Community Health. ''Fenway Community Health regrets accidentally making available a small number of copies of the Little Black Book, an HIV-prevention publication for gay and bisexual men over the age of 18, at an event where young people were present," said Dr. Stephen Boswell, Fenway Community Health's president and CEO. Sean Haley, executive director of the education network, which sponsored the conference, added: ''We have very clear policies that sexually explicit material of any kind will not be made available at the conference. Had I seen the book, I would have asked them to put it away." Personal note: Yeah, right. At the start of the event, Haley said, network officials scanned each of the 10 tables it had rented, for $35 apiece, to outside groups. He said nobody saw the pamphlet at the time. ''We're just going to have to be more rigorous in our review of materials," he said. Haley said that about 500 people attended the conference, roughly half of them students. He said only ''a handful" were younger than high-school aged." More about it here: http://rovianconspiracy.blogspot.com/2005/05/little-black-book.html I first heard about it here: http://littlegreenfootballs.com/weblog It came up OT in a totally unrelated discussion about the rumored-to-be-dead king of Saudi Arabia. That is where I first saw some anecdotal evidence on a discussion board that it had been distributed to middle-school kids. And then it morphed into an event at a middle school, when it was indeed at a high school. I didn't come up with that, but I picked it up and ran with it without confirmation, which was a mistake. My bad, I'm sorry. Turns out though, middle-school aged kids, along with a lot of high school kids, were at this event, and it got some parents rightfully upset. Something of this nature should not be allowed anywhere near children under 18 or any school. Period. GLSEN, which, FYI, oversees the national chapter of Gay-Straight Alliance clubs in national high schools and junior high schools, has now gone into CYA mode. I don't buy their excuses for a second. They are all about cooperating with sympathetic teachers and counselors to get their agenda into the sex-education curriculum in public schools, as noted here: http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=17490 There was a time when parents could trust their children's teachers and school officials to take care of their kids and shield them from some of the seedier aspects of life until such time as it was appropriate. I guess that time is rapidly coming to an end. Now, martin, you're partially right: I just posted what I had heard in previous discussions, without doing research (I'm not a pro journalist, this is ONLY an Internet message board after all). This was at a high school, on a Saturday. But there were middle-school aged kids at this event, and GLSEN and this health center got caught, basically, doing what the law calls contributing to the delinquency of minors, ie. exposing underaged kids to something they had no business seeing. There is meat to this story. Do I wish it were true? Heck no. I wish things like this didn't exist, and that public high schools never, ever had any sort of events relating to homosexuality taking place on their campuses. But, unfortunately, we don't live in that sort of world. And I feel compelled to point that out to people who don't realize this sort of thing is going on. Oh, and I don't appreciate being called a liar. Yeah, you got a little fact-check on me. We all make mistakes. I would have said "Touche' martin!" and would've given you props, but no, you had to be mean about it. So no props for you.
