Now, here is a thread that needed to continue. Ned, Al, I hope you are reading. I would appreciate, especially from Al, a response to the evidence I put forward.

Ned, I am still considering your thoughts. I reviewed the APA document and I am not sure that I agree that the studies were mishandled to the degree that you propose. Still reflecting….

Lots of people, Jayhuck. I'd say the majority of those in the Christian Right, probably in excess of 90%. Huckabee for example has been photographed with the head of MassResistance, one of the more rabidly mendacious of these groups. Here's what OneNewsNow said about this site:

Physicians help parents, schools combat propaganda The American College of Pediatricians (ACP) is cautioning educators and expressing concerns on dealing with sexual orientation and gender confusion by sending a letter to every U.S. school superintendent. ACP president Dr. Thomas Benton sent the letter to the school districts. In that letter he refers recipients to FactsAboutYouth.com, a website that has been established to provide educators, parents, and youngsters factual information about sexual development. He encourages parents to go to the site, check out the facts, and start a dialogue with their school superintendent.

How many are going to know the facts about this unholy alliance? How many are going to uncritically accept what they say, and go on to quote it in comments and letters to the editor as strong evidence in support of their actions?

The AFTAH executive director adds that the false information obtained from activists is designed to promote their gender-identity disorder, but the new website takes on more importance because parents generally have no clue how active the homosexual agenda is in schools.

It's all a conspiracy you see. All of the things wrong with our schools. A vast, anti-American conspiracy by the ~~Jews~~ ~~Communists~~ Gays.

Oh c’mon – Wasn’t FOTF denounced as a credible organization after authors of several studies came out claiming they distorted their research to further their own particular agenda. Who is actually taking these groups seriously?

Zoe Brain…. Meanwhile, FactsAboutYouth.com because of its appareny neutrality and professional authorship has garnered much favour:

Christian Post – “Conservative Pediatricians Caution Schools on Gay-Affirming Policies”

At least the Christian Post correctly identified the pediatricians as ‘conservative.’

Thanks, Warren. Good approach.

Assuming the membership rates and total above, if their non-physician membership is twice that of their physician membership, they would have 313 members.

I think we can say “about 300 dues paying members” and assume we are accurate.
