Programs in Bridgeport

The Connecticut Post: describes a day-long prgram in one of Bridgeport's public high schools:
"Back-to-back presentations included talks by students from Newtown High School's elective sociology class — that features a study unit on gender and sexual orientation — discussions by gay and lesbian adults about their work and social experiences, ice-breaker games, and film clips centering on how family and friends react to someone revealing they are homosexual. 'We basically tried to pick clips that the kids can identify with at some point,' said Cynthia Kosc-St.Onge, a special education history teacher who advises Bassick's Gay-Straight Alliance along with Kris Burns, teen health social worker for the school.

The conference also featured a performance by 20-year-old Geo Creed Wyeth (stage name: 'Tha Novice'), a transgender dancer, musician and writer who just completed his sophomore year at Yale University.

Also, Central High School's student peer-education drama group, Profiles, acted a scene titled 'GayWorld.' It was about a homophobic young woman who learns about discrimination when she suddenly finds herself in an all-gay environment."
The amount of social propaganda in the public schools is increasing dramatically, and it only goes one way: advocates for traditional marriage can't get a hearing in Bridgeport. I bet this "homophobic young woman" was portrayed as a conservative Christian.
