Education bill to give
special protection to homosexual students
Political Outcast – Dave Jolly

The Elementary and Secondary
Education Act (ESEA) was first signed into law in 1965 by President Lyndon B.
Johnson. In 2001, President George W. Bush helped to revamp the ESEA and
gave it the name No Child Left Behind Act. Bush’s version of the statute
expired in 2007. Since its expiration, Congress has made a number of
attempts to pass another revision of No Child Left Behind, but as yet, all
attempts have failed.
Earlier this month, Sen. Tom Harkin (D-IA) introduced
another massive version of the education bill. His bill covers
1,150 pages and like so many huge bills, contains hidden items that most people
would never notice until it’s too late. In Harkin’s case, the hidden
provision starts on page 694 and lays out plans to protect LGBT
students from bullying.
The bill goes so far in
protecting gay and lesbian students that any school that does not take the
necessary steps to prevent bullying and harassing of gay and lesbian students
could have their funding cut off.
The bill says nothing about cutting the funding from schools that allow the
bullying and harassing of normal student or Christian students, or Jewish
student, just gays and lesbians.
Once again we see where gays
and lesbians are after preferential treatment, not equal treatment.
