Southern Baptists Eyeing Homosexuality in Public Schools

The man who tried to get the last Southern Baptist Convention meeting to recommend pulling kids out of public schools has a new cause: getting the next SBC meeting to recommend that parents investigate "homosexual advocacy" at their public schools. Baptists' obsession with homosexuality is very interesting.

World O'Crap reports on "Investigating the Gay," quoting World Net Daily:

According to a statement from Baucham and Shortt, the resolution "encourages every SBC church to investigate whether the school district in which it is located has either a homosexual club or any curriculum or program that attempts to influence children to accept homosexual behavior as a legitimate lifestyle. If the school district has any of these, the resolution urges churches to inform parents of this fact and encourage them to remove their children from the district's schools immediately."

So, instead of removing all kids from all public schools, the idea is to simply recommend removing them from any schools which, in accordance with the law, actually allow gay students to form a club. I suppose people like Baucham and Shortt prefer that gay students remain ashamed and in the closet.

Said Baucham: "I am convinced that if government schools had to recruit students by sending out brochures outlining the academic, moral and spiritual aspects of their curriculum, most Baptists would throw it in the trash without a second thought. However, when these schools can hide behind stealth phrases like tolerance, safe schools, multiculturalism and safer sex, parents are often unaware of the dangers lurking beneath the surface. Moreover, parents who speak up are often branded as narrow-minded bigots with outdated values.

Well, maybe Baucham is a narrow-minded bigot with outdated values? Maybe it is fair to condemn people who get upset when schools show tolerance towards gay students and try to keep them safe from bullies who learn at home that it's OK to hate gays?
