Foxy,

We all know that the intentions of those setting up the program were to create an anti bullying program that would help LGBT students. However, I struggle to believe that the results are what they intended.

When this first came to national attention, I visited the website and followed some of the links to the sites made available to school children, and found more than a few that were wildly inappropriate that would have got me fired if I viewed them at work.

It is clear that the safe schools program got hijacked, but with some trimming out of the offensive material it will be able to fulfil the purpose it was intended for.

Dear Josephus,

Thanks! You just gave me a great idea:

If I portray the act of riding a bicycle as sexual, well with some imagination it is, then I can join the wave of the wider sexual liberation to successfully legalise riding a bike without wearing a condom-equivalent over one's head!

It seems that the letter 'B' is already taken - but what about 'R' for "Rider"? I better hurry to register it before it's taken by the Rat-lovers.

How did I fail to think of this earlier?!

Dear Josephus,

Downsett is not involved with the program.
He's involved with prostrate cancer in men.
You need to do more research. As for the far-right
conservative MP George Christenson who made the
accusations against Prof. Downsett - well he did
not have his facts right either. Christensen was
very disappointed when a government review of the
program found no changes had to be made. The review
gave it a full OK.
And it is a very successful program around the country.

The following link explains the support the program has
received and the list of some of the people supporting
the program:

Dear Shadow Minister,

I certainly hope that you're right and that the program
will continue successfully for what it was originally designed.

Foxy: What propaganda are you talking about?

The fact that the Program promotes the GLTB's as preferred lifestyle. The Websites they refer children to are, as pointed out by others, purely in support of & promote a GLBT lifestyle as a preferred Lifestyle. The Bullying of others, other than GLTB takes second place to what the GLTB are really pushing.

Dear Jayb,

I haven't been able to find any such promotions of
life-styles. Could you supply at least one to substantiate
your claims.

Thank You.
