Parents’ League Presents Demands to Anoka-Hennepin Schools

The group wants Anoka-Hennepin to assist students of “moral conviction” and to offer information on overcoming “sexual disorders.”

A group of parents demanded Monday night that Anoka-Hennepin schools commit more resources to “students of faith, moral conviction, ex-homosexuals and ex-transgenders.”

Upping the ante in the district’s debate over how to address controversial issues in school, in particular sexual orientation, the Parents Action League also asked the district to provide students information that links homosexuality to sexually transmitted diseases and about how to “overcom[e] sexual disorders.”

The demands were made during a public comment period on a proposed policy to replace the district’s current Sexual Orientation Curriculum Policy, which forbids staff members from taking a stand on issues of sexual orientation.
