Do not allow the THOUGHT POLICE or Political Correctness destroy your family!

ALL RESPONSIBLE CITIZENS 
 MUST TAKE ACTION TODAY! 
If not for ourselves, do it for
the children of tomorrow.

You can make a difference.....spread the word, censorship must be eliminated.

Make a list of book resources from the resource page of this website, and then order these books at your local library.  You should also ask everyone who has an interest in this subject to do the same.  Libraries must secure the books the public is interested in reading.   This simple activity will make a big difference.

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN TAKING AN ACTIVE ROLE, CONTINUE READING.

  1.  Visit your public libraries, school libraries and local book stores (or their web sites), then search for SAME SEX ATTRACTION to determine the censorship exists.   It would be a good idea to then document the censorship by either by printing the results to paper or a computer file as evidence.  *
  2. View the mission statement or policies of the library or book store regarding censorship, document these results as well.
  3. Contact the library officials to make them aware of the censorship.    Provide them with the list of books from the resource page.  In the case of book stores, talk to the manager and make them aware of the problem.  NOTE:  It has been noted that the book COMING OUT STRAIGHT by Richard Cohen was not in the “gay” and lesbian section, rather in self help.  If you notice books in the wrong category, let the manager know so he can get permission from corporate headquarters to relocate the book.
  4.  Insist all the web sites listed be added to any other web site resource on the subject of homosexuality at all libraries.
  5. Insist that at least 25% of the books in the library contain information that would be useful for persons not happy with the gay lifestyle or confused about the origins of their Same Sex Attraction.  NOTE: Take care to note this information is for people with unwanted Same Sex Attraction and is in no way meant to criticize those who are perfectly happy being “gay” or lesbian.
  6. If the library refuses to make this information available, contact the local government or school board in charge of the library.  Once they need are informed of the censorship and the library's refusal to include additional information, appropriate action should follow.  NOTE: There is a possibility that people may be dismissed for failing to follow an established mission statement.  This would not be any different from what anyone else would encounter for failing to do the job they were  hired to do.
  7. Inform your schools, churches, synagogues and friends about the censorship.  Start petitions, contact the media, do an e-mail campaign or whatever means necessary to get the world out.   This is critical since every day, people are funneled into believing they have no choice which is simply not true.
  8. Contact your local and state governments that fund organizations designed to assist children & young adults regarding the subject of homosexuality.  Insist that all funding be contingent upon such organizations offering a fair balance of information.  The normal practice today is to inform anyone with an attraction to the same sex they are “gay” or lesbian which is just not true.  By eliminating censorship, choice, self determination, acceptance and diversity will truly be established.

* Documentation is a good idea as it may someday be evidence in a liability lawsuit.

Request your school stop distributing the pamphlet entitled Just the Facts About Sexual Orientation & Youth A Primer for Principals, Educators & School Personnel .  This brochure has as a inaccurate and outdated information (http://www.apa.org/pi/lgbc/publications/justthefacts.pdf ).  Please take time to read the following information from Regina Griggs at PFOX (Parents and Friends of Ex-Gays).  You can research updated information at the following links: http://www.narth.com/docs/deemphasizes.html  http://www.apa.org/topics/sorientation.html .

Just the Facts About Sexual Orientation and Youth demonstrates an irrational phobia of the ex-gay community.

 

It recommends censorship of ex-gay materials in schools and tries to deny the right of ex-gays to be open about their orientation.  Its opposition to sharing school access with ex-gay representatives demonstrates its own disregard for diversity and equal treatment.

 

Ex-gays have the same rights as gays do and should not be shut out of schools or silenced as Just the Facts recommends.  Many schools' sexual orientation non-discrimination policies would prohibit the distribution of any discriminatory booklet like Just the Facts.  Public officials may not impose discriminatory burdens or unequal treatment on ex-gays and their supporters.  Students and teachers have the right to equal access of ex-gay information on the same distribution basis as gay information. 

 

Just the Facts mischaracterizes the nature and purpose of ex-gay organizations and transformational ministries.  It issues biased opinion statements with no factual basis. 

 

Just the Facts should not be used in public school systems because it raises serious Constitutional issues.  It advocates a one-sided religious viewpoint.  Just the Facts endorses faith organizations that condone homosexuality and at the same time criticizes transformational ministries for believing that freedom from homosexuality is possible through faith.  The pamphlet fails to include arguments for any other religious viewpoint or religious organization which disagrees with its own religious views.  It lists as a resource a gay affirming religious organization yet public schools cannot endorse or promote one religious view over another. 

 

The use of Just the Facts by the Montgomery County, Maryland Board of Education as a resource for teachers in its sex education curriculum was one of the grounds for our lawsuit against the school board.  In that case, a United States District Court granted our request for a temporary injunction prohibiting the Montgomery County, Maryland public schools from implementing its curriculum.  (See Citizens for A Responsible Curriculum & PFOX  v. Montgomery County Public Schools, U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland, 2005 WL 10756345.)  Because the federal court was “deeply troubled” over the discrimination present in the materials, the court ruled that plaintiffs would likely prevail at trial on First Amendment claims of viewpoint discrimination and an establishment clause violation.  As a result, the Board of Education was forced to remove Just the Facts and all other anti-ex-gay and anti-religious materials as school resources. 

 

Just the Facts lists the National Education Association (NEA) as an endorser, but fails to recognize the National Education Association's Ex-Gay Educator's Caucus, an official caucus of the NEA which promotes ex-gay equal access to public schools.   In lieu of Just the Facts, a hateful and grossly inaccurate pamphlet, we urge schools to use Purposes of the National Education Association Ex-Gay Educators Caucus.  This pamphlet explains the goals sought by ex-gay teachers for diversity, tolerance, and equality for all --  including both ex-gays and gays.

 

Sincerely,
