No...they are exposing public school students in some areas of the country, and they want to increase the number of areas.....to an option of "reparative therapy", that the medical community of menatl health physicians has stated prominently....is not "reparative" and is not "therapy"....and that is a specifically "unhealthy" to perform on people.....especially on emotionally vulnerable students.
Can you think of another instance where public school administrators would permit this to happen? It seems like religious influenced child abuse, to me. It seems to me that by allowing this message on school property, educators expose themselves to potential criminal violations and exposure to successful and costly civil litigation. What would motivate them to take these risks....to expose students to alternative therapies declared to be unhealthy by a majority of medical experts in their field ?
Isn't this irresponisbility and abuse, by definition, religious influenced fanaticsim? There is no controversy in the medical community, as far as policy. Why, then is it permitted in public schools, if not for a trend towards inappropriate religious fundamentalist influence in public administration?
