It's not the sexuality of children SP's are interested in, its their gullability. SP's understood many, many years ago that they could NOT in any way voice thier message at the forefront, instead they realized that change is slow to occur, and that SP's needed to be in positions that would most affect that change. Conservatives on the other hand only began noticing 10 - 15 years ago and stated fighting back. Are they too late? Maybe, look at the last election as an example of two generations, perhaps three that are too far gone. It does present a philosophical conundrumn for modern day conservatives on how to properly fight back within our system of government. Should they go back, or should they begin anew? What should modern conservativsm have as its most important goal? Like the nibbling away at social values over decades the SP's accomplished, can that same strategy be employed in the reverse? All good questions, but I fear I'm at a loss as to how one might accomplish it, given our modern day divisionist society.

Libertarians are an odd placement for the founders of this country if you actually consider the first two administrations and a popular political Party until the 1810s. Big government, anti-democratic conservatives hold just as much to the foundation of this country.
Our founders were libertarian/classical liberals. I suppose there was some disagreement on the logistics of how to retain such ideas, however the premise of liberty was always at the forefront.
I think this is a prime example of political correctness gone wrong. Much like if a teacher played a song about being a Christian, and some kid got offended, the teacher would also be suspended.
There comes a time when the sillyness has to stop from all sides and just accept that you will NEVER be 100% not offended by something.

The concept of "big government" today is vastly different than during the Washington and Adams Administrations.
More uneducated crap. In 1973, when homosexuality was de-classified as a diagnosis, it occurred because a whole host of research that many had REFUSED to be allowed to be presented, finally was. Succinctly... they finally listened to research and threw the uneducated and the bigots (often extreme conservatives) out the door.
Blah, blah, blah. Uneducated this, uneducated that. Heh. What a joke. Why would any sane, unbiased person believe some random poster on the internet, like you, as opposed to a former president of the APA itself? I'm sure mister internet noboy knows way more than he does. Uh-huh.
Yeah, not anymore....Liberty I feel is seen as a threat to progressive goals.
I almost feel sorry for school administrators these days. It's a no-win job. No matter what happens in your school, somebody's going to crawl up your ass about it.
Better that than a gerbil!:shock:

Exactly, hence the terminology "progressive"...... What exactly are they progressing to? I've asked die hard progressives that question several times and have never have got an answer.
As a libertarian (and conservative) I can tell you what I'm trying to conserve and that is classical liberalism and the ideas that founded this land, however these alleged "liberals" er progressives cannot tell me their socioeconomic goal. "Progress" in my opinion seems to be a wandering fashion and a wandering political philosophy.
