The director of research for the American Family Association says the nation’s largest teachers' union has renewed its campaign to push homosexuality in public schools.
The National Educational Association has proposed another resolution that will attempt to legitimize homosexuality in public schools. The NEA claims that some homosexual students and teachers are victims of harassment. The group’s leadership wants to introduce materials into classrooms to discuss homosexuality, on the pretense of “protecting” homosexual students and staff.
Researcher Ed Vitagliano says these pro-homosexual proposals come from the NEA leadership, not from the rank and file members. He says the nation’s teachers do not want that agenda pushed.
“I think it’s just frankly a matter of cowardice on the part of the NEA leadership,” Vitagliano says. “If they really believe that homosexuality should be promoted in the schools, they ought to take this up with the teachers … that come to the annual meeting. But they don’t.”
“They continually table these resolutions because they don’t want to confront the good teachers in this country who do not want this promoted to their children,” he says.
Vitagliano says the NEA will continue to push homosexuality using back-room tactics, and he believes they will be successful. “They're going to get their wish,” he says. “They're going to promote homosexuality — with or without the consent of the teachers in this country.”
As recently as last summer, the NEA leadership tried — and failed — to get a pro-homosexual resolution passed by its membership at its annual meeting.
