Looks like you have chosen the right character with whom to relate, Charlie Brown, “why is everybody always picking on me?” Da, da, da,ta, da.

Here this person has put me on the same level as a goat herder and thought himself wise enough to offer me counsel that I neither requested or gave permission for him to give.

I shall follow the commands to not set in counsel of the ungodly, thank you.

Yeap, like I said to an American (who is also gay), the school is being turned into a political ground for the left and right to fight over.

The sole purpose of the education system is to educate youth as to either allow them to get a job once they’ve left college (aged 18) or move onto either Polytechnic to do a trade or University to obtain a degree or doctorate.

Politics shouldn’t play ANY role with in schools; sorry, if these kids want to form opinions, they can keep them to themselves and wait till an appropriate outlet is provided – in history when asked for their opinion, backed up with evidence, on a particular event in history.

As for Saltnlight, I find he abusive tone quite unacceptable; maybe she should pay New Zealand a visit and actually see for herself how New Zealand stacks up to the US in relation to “morality” and values” – or is she part of the 91% who don’t have passports?

There is no social value to this kind of reading material at all.

Young people, it has been found, do not have the mental capacity within their developing minds to make correct decisions concerning such things. All this is doing is promoting sex between youngsters and adults. It brings them into society one step closer to endorsing pedophelia.

Kaiwai again shows his lack of maturity in thinking that GSA’s are of any good for confused teens.

I think perhaps he may benefit from reading a book by Josh McDowel titled, “Disconnected Generation” there he would find that young brains do not make good choices. Some not until age 22 or so.

Mr. Throckmorton, This individual Kaiwai is frustrating to say the least because of his/her post modern views. These are what will be the breaking of America and we will be cast aside by God. This God that Kaiwai seems so intolerant of is the very God who has kept us a free nation for as long as we have been free. Of my Christ he is very ignorant and very insulting though if it were not for Christ Kaiwai would not take another breath.

Just read the article then; interesting, maybe we’re a little ‘backwards’ down in New Zealand, but in all my time at college and primary school, we never had those sorts of book – both at public and the two religious schools I went to (Protestant College and Catholic Primary School).

What ever happened to good old fashioned paper back books? and as for the GSA, sure, I support helping young gay teens to learn to accept themselves, but at the same time, the school is neither the time nor the place for that to occur; if people need to seek support, they’re better going to talk to their counsellor and asking for groups outside the school that can help.

Last year I went into the Principal of one Public School here and demanded equal time for books on how to come out of the homosexual behavior and got it. There has been some removal of certain GSA touted books here as well but yet there are many of them still in the schools.
