| NEA, White House, Both Pushing Homosexual Agenda? By Rusty Pugh, Bill Fancher, and Jody Brown June 1, 2001 (Agape Press) Pro-family experts say the homosexual agenda, a major issue advanced by the White House during the Clinton years, continues to be promoted by the nation's largest teachers' group -- and by the Bush Administration, as well. One pro-family expert with the American Family Association says despite the fact that HIV infection is on the rise in America, the National Education Association continues to promote homosexuality to schoolchildren. A report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says HIV is increasing in homosexual and bisexual men at rates similar to the epidemic era of the mid-1980s -- despite the fact that billions of dollars have been spent on drug research and education programs. The CDC says between 1998 and 2000, the rate of HIV infection increased by 4.4% every year. Ed Vitagliano is director of research for the American Family Association. He says in the face of these alarming facts, the National Education Association continues its aggressive promotion of the homosexual agenda. "You're going to have little Johnny in third grade or in the fifth grade being told that he might be homosexual -- and that if he is, he needs to accept that," he says. "What's going to happen is that those young men are going to go forth, like they're doing right now, and participate in homosexual activity that is going to destroy their lives." Vitagliano contends the NEA leadership is composed of liberal thinking people who despise God's laws. "The NEA refuses to accept the fact that breaking God's laws on human sexuality results in disease and ... in death", he says. "They rebel against any concept of limiting sexuality or keeping it within certain guidelines." According to Vitagliano, the NEA plans to introduce a resolution at its upcoming annual meeting to increase the promotion of homosexuality, to the point of bringing homosexuals into the classroom to teach children to embrace the lifestyle. He says the NEA will probably approve such a resolution. As a result, Vitagliano says, many children who are being taught by the NEA will participate in an activity that could kill them. |
