School District Refuses To Permit Parents See LGBT Videos Students Were Forced To Watch
by Hank BerrienJuly 4, 2018
In a Pennsylvania school district, after roughly 2,800 students were forced to watch LGBT videos during LGBT "Unity Week" in April, parents and conservative activists asked the district to provide links to the videos so they could see what their children had watched.
The answer they got: no.
As The Christian Post noted of Principal Kate Kieres of Emmaus High School, where the videos were shown, “Despite parents' requests to see the videos, Kieres stated that the school board solicitor has advised that ‘these videos cannot be sent to you, because they are part of a student project.’"
This is a gross violation of parental rights. The links to the videos are public records, notwithstanding claimed 'selection' of the videos by the ostensibly 'student-led' Gay-Straight Alliance ('GSA') as part of an alleged 'student project.' It would be convenient indeed if school districts could bypass all public records laws and parental notice and consent requirements for objectionable content, by finding a willing 'student group' to 'select' the material for them."
