High school students in San Diego were instructed to act as “gay or lesbian” and practice the “coming out process.”
Freshmen at Rancho Buena Vista High School were participating in an elective course designed to teach students how to be “socially current,” NBC San Diego reported.
One student took a picture of the activity instructions before walking out of the class. The instructions were: “Stand in a circle. Each of you is now gay or lesbian, and you are about to begin your coming out process. You cannot talk for the rest of this activity.”
The student’s father brought the picture to a board meeting, saying his daughter “told me right away when she got home. She said, ‘Dad, you have to hear this.”
“She wanted to show me what was going on because she knows I am not for teaching any of that stuff in school,“ parent James Leon said.
He noted during the board meeting, “I don’t see how this is part of the California curriculum for education. There is nothing that it does other than groom children. It’s not okay, it’s disgusting, and it should not be allowed.” Leon explained he was told by the school’s vice principal that the assignment was not part of the curriculum. Other school officials said the exercise was part of the curriculum.
Leon’s daughter returned to class and was given an alternative assignment.
A bus driver for the school district also spoke during the board meeting, stating, “I am totally disgusted. I am ashamed I work for the district, and you guys allow this to happen in our schools.”
