identity for various reasons. But because being "gay" is a purely subjective self-identification with a<br />

sexual identity, it is within the behavioral potential of every person to become "gay" under the right<br />

circumstances.<br />

Obviously, impressionable children are more susceptible to this possibility, especially those children<br />

who are confused about what constitutes normal gender or family relations due to their own<br />

dsyfunctional home life. This is one of the most alarming aspects of "Safe Schools."<br />

A second hidden assumption in the "born that way" argument is that a biological cause for homosexuality<br />

would automatically grant legitimacy to homosexual conduct.<br />

This is simply absurd. Identifying a biological cause of harmful behavior neither justifies the behavior<br />

nor overrides the public interest in discouraging threats to public health and safety. One has only to<br />

consider the biologically-influenced condition of alcoholism to recognize this truth. Alcoholism is a<br />

behavioral problem which is said to have a biological cause, yet no one suggests that our laws should<br />

be changed to normalize it. Society rightly discourages the alcoholic lifestyle despite the belief that<br />

some people are biologically predisposed to alcoholism.<br />

7) "Safe Schools" intrudes upon the most sacred domain of parents, which is their right and privilege<br />

to instill their personal moral and religious values in their children. The right of parents to direct the<br />

education of their children has been recognized by the Supreme Court as a fundamental constitutional<br />

right. This right carries even greater weight when the question involves ideas about marriage and<br />

family life, which are independently protected under the constitution.<br />

Yet "Safe Schools" presumes to empower school officials to override parental interests.<br />

8) "Safe Schools" disregards and marginalizes all who disagree with the "gay" position. Despite the<br />

fact that society leans to the pro-family position on most questions surrounding the homosexual<br />

controversy, the "Safe Schools" program openly sides with the smaller pro-"gay" faction while<br />

characterizing the pro-family faction as an insignificant and unreasonable minority.<br />

Pro-family arguments, when they are not suppressed <strong>entire</strong>ly, are unfairly represented to students.<br />

9) "Safe Schools" proponents routinely equate opposition to homosexuality with racism to justify<br />

their pro-"gay" bias, but deliberately hide the fatal weaknesses in this analogy. The most glaring<br />

weakness is that ethnicity is completely morally neutral while homosexuality involves voluntary<br />

moral choices of serious consequence.<br />

10) "Safe Schools" teaches "diversity" instead of civility. "Diversity" is a segregationist political<br />

doctrine which holds that people's rights derive from their status in a group rather than from their<br />

inherent worth as human beings. Diversity divides people into competing self-interest groups while<br />

favoring certain groups over others, and fosters hostility toward "politically incorrect" viewpoints<br />

and those who hold them.<br />
