During a sex education lesson led by a representative of Planned Parenthood, students at Arcata High School in Arcata, California, were subjected to public ridicule for their religious beliefs about homosexuality.
According to Family News in Focus, the school had invited representatives of Planned Parenthood to address students. One of the guest speakers, Debiie Hartridge, had students stand in a circle. Hartridge then asked the question, "Do you have a religious belief about homosexuality that considers it a sin or wrong?" Those who did were told they had to remain in the circle.
Hartridge admitted that "the children who answered 'yes' had to stay in the circle. This caused them to feel very demeaned, put down."
AFA President Don Wildmon said, "That was Planned Parenthood's intent. This is nothing more than homosexual activists indoctrinating children."
Hartridge said she would not teach the class that way again, but some Arcata parents are suing the school district for its antagonism toward Christianity."
