Don't you kinda know?
These are the kind of stories that make me laugh out loud:
Two Christian parents say their son was a victim of homosexual indoctrination at the prestigious "Governor's School of North Carolina."
...Jim Burrows says he noticed a big difference in his otherwise normal son upon his return from the school.
"He [said he] was thinking now that he perhaps was gay -- and of course I was floored by this [pronouncement] and was, like, 'where did this come from?' This kind of came out of left field," the dad says. After questioning his son for an extended period, Burrows says he discovered the source. "I found out that this was as a result of this seminar."
According to Burrows, his son was instructed by two openly homosexual staff members of the Governor's School to question his sexuality as well as Bible passages that condemn homosexuality. And the students were also encouraged by instructors to start a Gay Straight Alliance club at their schools, he says.
The North Carolina dad explains that his son's subsequent struggle with homosexuality has turned his family upside down. "As far as our family is concerned, the damage has already been done," he laments. "There's no way that we can go back and undo what has been done."
Who are these blank slate children who are so susceptible to suggestion. When I was in high school, I thought about sex a lot. I thought about sex with girls, 'cause I was straight. Am straight, still. If anyone (other than Aidan Quinn) would ever ask if I cared to get it on with a guy, I'd take a pass. Just not interested. That's not a thing to be proud of or ashamed by -- it's just a biological fact of me.
You are what you are, more or less. Gay, straight, or bi. The idea that some kid's orientation can be flipped on its head by a question is farcical. But the idea that your wonderful son's homosexuality would be a damage undoable to your family is tragic.

Well, there was no seminar in heterosexuality offered as an alternative, so we can assume that the intent was to push "anyone who was questioning" towards homosexuality.
Does discussion about sexuality belong in a gathering of 15 to 17 year olds? If it wasn't so bad, why was it kept secret from the parents?

If you tell a group of suburban white kids what it's like to live as an urban black, is the intent to push the kids into becoming urban blacks? No, the intent is to educate.
Should teens be discussing human sexuality? Absolutely.
What makes you think this was secret?
