Deerfield Superintendent Calls Confidentiality Agreement a 'Mistake'

From "CWA: School Tells Kids to Hide Pro-'Gay' Propaganda from Parents" by Stacey Holliday, posted 3/13/07, at Concerned Women for America, (Hat tip: Americans for Truth)

Dr. George Fornero, superintendent of DHS' Dist. 113, told CWA that the district "made a mistake" by requiring children to sign the confidentiality agreement and that it would be entirely aboveboard and honest with parents in the future. However, as Barber noted, the damage has already been done: "Until DHS and other government schools across the country are made to stop promoting the homosexual agenda, kids will continue to be exposed to -- and encouraged to participate in -- a lifestyle that places them at high risk for life-threatening disease, depression and spiritual despair," said Barber.

Remarkably, even after the school district's surreptitious actions were exposed, parents were nonetheless told that they were not welcome to sit in on the "freshman advisory" and were not permitted to have access to materials used in compiling its activist curriculum.

Deerfield H.S. -- Freshman Sign Confidentiality Agreement Before Hearing 'Gay' Student Panel

According to Lora Sue Hauser, the head of North Shore Student Advocacy (NSSA), students at Deerfield High School were asked to sign a 'confidentiality agreement' before listening to a panel discussion by homosexual students in a mandatory class known as Freshman Advisory.

Several weeks ago, Ellen Waltz, mother of a freshman girl, was denied permission by the school to quietly sit in on the class and observe. The school instead offered to give her a video tape of the class. When she called to obtain the videotape, she was told it was not available...How convenient.

NSSA filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for the Freshman Advisory curriculum. The request was denied by the school.

Is Deerfield High School trying to hide the content of Freshman Advisory class from parents?

Is this even legal?

It gets more outrageous every day...


Ms. Hauser (NSSA) will be speaking this Sunday night at The Gay Agenda? No Child Left Behind...
