These<br \/>\nselections are X-rated homosexual pornography, folks. GLSEN thinks it can get away with this by putting a mild disclaimer on its site&#8211;parents should review these selections, etc.&#8211;but that&#8217;s no excuse. This group positions itself as an expert on &#8220;safety&#8221; for kids. And GLSEN knows most parents never visit their site. GLSEN regularly bypasses parental involvement in everything they do, going directly to interact with kids even at the grade school level.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;d like to direct readers to the in-depth report Mission America did back in 2002 about the totally inappropriate books that almost all remain on the GLSEN list.<\/p>\n<p>To review the original Mission America coverage of GLSEN&#8217;s pornographic books, go <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20120117104146\/http:\/\/www.missionamerica.com\/oldagenda26.php\" target=\"_blank\">HERE.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Linda Harvey Mission America&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":43,"featured_media":36515,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17,3746,113],"tags":[2919],"class_list":["post-732","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-children-at-risk","category-pornographysexual-abuse","category-homosexuality","tag-signs-of-the-times","wpcat-17-id","wpcat-3746-id","wpcat-113-id"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.4 (Yoast SEO v28.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>How Can Porn be &#039;Safe&quot; for Kids?
