Why the misrepresentation concerning what is being presented in the news here? And again, were teens that consider themselves lesbians forced to role play a straight role?
A kiss didn't happen, but girls were forced to role play being a lesbian and asking another girl for a kiss.
If an office held a workshop and forced one employee to ask another employee to role play asking someone for a kiss (no matter the gender), it would be considered sexual harrassment. Children in schools are even more powerless than adults in an office. Forced sexual roleplaying (no matter the genders)- even just asking for kissing, should not be done. The girl has expressed concerned that she will be teased and bullied because of the role playing.
The school allowed college students to teach the workshop and gave no notice to parents. Bringing in college students (18-22 year old) to lead kids through forced sexual role playing is absurd.
And here's a quote from the article and one of the girls moms:
People who are defending this, think about this for a second, if college kid came to the school and made 13-14 year old boy ask a girl for a blow job, would you be okay with that? That has nothing to do with being gay, and it can also fall under the header of "learning to handle unwanted advances," which was the supposed reason for the roleplaying. The whole thing was incredibly wrong and should never have been done.
And if you had looked at the very next paragraph, you would have seen this.
Quote:
On a Facebook forum for parents, Zahedi said the exercise was “not to pretend to be gay” but to practice saying “no” to unwarranted advances.
No, the ignorant jackasses would be the homophobes on this thread, who are proving exactly WHY we need to teach tolerance to our children... if their parents are anything like you & others here, they certainly aren't getting that lesson at home!
Hear, hear!
Besides, while the shrieking, whining "the sky is falling!!!" paranoid rightwing bigots want to characterize this as some nonsense about gay armies and pushing agendas, the truth is far less sensational.
Yes, there was a discussion of different gender preferences and societal labeling, etc. but the kiss wasn't an attempt to create a couple of little lesbians. The object was to teach someone how to fend off advances as if when someone asks you for a kiss. From what I've seen and heard in interviews, the teacher just chose two girls at random (perhaps they thought it would be better than to have a boy approaching a girl about a kiss) to illustrate how to turn someone down who is hitting on you or trying to make advances.
Why do people have to pretend to be gay to be taught to say "no"?
Because they were role playing to practice saying no to unwanted advances. I think the boys and girls were separated. So you have one girl take the male role of pressuring the other into a kiss. Then the other can practice saying no.

If we are going to be role playing here does it not make far more sense to give kids experience where they are far more likely going to need it?
Do we have a problem with two straight girls hitting on each other? Again though, we the need to misrepresent what the articles said? Nowhere does it say anyone was forced to kiss. Why the need to address something no one is claiming?
As a parent the first red flag for me would be in bringing in college kids to teach middle schoolers about sex education.
Why is anyone suprised by the over-reaction by Homophobes. Even the thread topic title: "Gay Agenda".
This and all other threads on homosexuality should start out..."Homophobic Agneda">>>
