Pacific Justice Institute Pledges to
Defend Objectors to Pro-Gay Training
Visalia, CA - In response to a recent settlement between the ACLU and
the Visalia Unified School District, the Pacific Justice Institute has
pledged to represent all parents choosing to opt their children out of a
mandatory pro-gay training program for district middle and high school
students. As the settlement also requires district staff members to undergo
mandatory pro-gay training, the Pacific Justice Institute has further
pledged to represent any teacher or administrator who objects to attending
the training sessions because of their sincerely held religious beliefs.
The settlement came after the ACLU filed a
lawsuit against the district resulting from an alleged "anti-gay harassment"
of a student by a teacher. The mandatory student training will be developed
by the controversial Gay-Straight Alliance Network, which reportedly has
over 275 gay-straight alliance clubs in California. According to the ACLU,
the "student trainings will be conducted 'peer-to-peer' by other students,
and will eventually be made a part of the permanent curriculum." "Compliance
Coordinators" will also be named to "help" parents, students and teachers.
According to the ACLU, this settlement is a "model" for California school
districts.
"While the settlement uses
the term 'mandatory' to describe this controversial program, California and
federal laws respecting the rights of parents must be followed," said Brad
Dacus, President of the Pacific Justice Institute. "It is especially
important that the district accommodate and respect the objections of
employees of religious faith, as well as those parents who wish to opt their
children out of a course of instruction that is inconsistent with the
children's moral or religious upbringing. We intend to legally challenge any
implementation of this settlement that violates the rights of parents and
teachers."
The Pacific Justice Institute makes available opt-out forms that may be
filed with any public school district. For free legal counsel on rights in
the workplace, or to obtain a copy of an opt-out form, contact the Pacific
Justice Institute at 1-888-305-9129 or
www.pacificjustice.org. The
Institute also offers legal counsel to school districts on how to avoid
situations similar to that which has occurred in the Visalia Unified School
District.
The Pacific Justice Institute is a non-profit 501(c)(3) legal defense
organization specializing in the defense of religious freedom, parental
rights, and other civil liberties.
