Linda Harvey Opposes Anti-Bullying Laws, Says They Indoctrinate Kids To Accept Homosexuality
The Republican controlled Senate in Michigan recently passed an anti-bullying law that allows Christians to bully homosexuals or any other student they don’t agree with on religious grounds. In response to the tragic string of bullying occurring across the country, Congress is considering anti-bullying legislation called the Safe Schools Improvement Act and the Student Nondiscrimination Act. These pieces of legislation would better protect students from being bullied. But Linda Harvey of Mission America in Ohio doesn’t agree in the slightest.
Linda Harvey opposes anti-bullying laws because she believes such laws lead to indoctrination. Specifically speaking, she opposes the laws because she thinks schools will be turned into indoctrination camps that will force kids to accept homosexuality. Here is what she said on her radio program.

Linda Harvey: “As we’ve found out time and again, so-called conservative, pro-life politicians are sometimes wrongly persuaded that homosexuality is a worthy lifestyle and cause. This amounts to promotion of these lifestyle’s to kids brought into schools in the Trojan Horse of anti-bullying programs. We already have these programs in many schools, but federal involvement adds a troubling new dimension. If these amendments pass, they do nothing to protect kids that isn’t already available at the local level. The only thing they will do is threaten local school districts with a cutoff of federal funds if the schools aren’t turned into indoctrination camps where conservative viewpoints are systematically silenced all to fulfill the fondest wishes of those who want traditional morality to disappear.
Special rights for homosexual behavior are not needed. This makes me very sad for every child in our schools who will be subjected to this deception. There is a very well-traveled path out of homosexuality that every child deserves to hear about. But no, this will become like California in every state, a bigoted mandate to force everyone to accept and approve of homosexuality. Please call our Ohio senators, Rob Portman and Sherrod Brown, tell them in that in the upcoming, big education bill, we don’t want the federal government using bullying prevention as a tool to force approval of homosexuality and gender bending on children, teachers and families.”
Linda Harvey is a bigot and she is a very misguided one at that. Anti-bullying laws are not tools for indoctrination. They are tools to protect kids from hate and intimidation. In no way is a kid going to be forced to accept homosexuality. Anti-bullying laws protect every child from being bullied, including Christians. Harvey is just fuming mad because she believes Christians have the right to hate, intimidate, and bully those they don’t agree with. Perhaps someone should bully her and show her what it’s like.

Dear Ms Linda Harvey, I hope that one day you and your brother beat the odds aginst having a deformed incest bred child…… I hope he ends up LGBT and has wonder romps with who he/she sees fit, then rubs your god damned face in it. I think your views are much the same as my first comment, childish and ludicrous. People like you are the types of wankers that are holding human growth and acceptance at back. Heres to hoping that you have a wonderful sexual encounter with a woman and wake up the next morning with your world torn in to many little pieces, and then spend the rest of your days struggling with the realisation that you have been a propper twatwaffle for the most part of your life!
P.S. Lets all hope that your brother lengthens the chain around your ankle far enough from the kitchen sink to reach the nearest lesbian lair so u can have that wonderful encounter with a woman (or perhaps 2).
P.P.S. In case it wasn’t spelt out in plain enough english earlier, you are the tool of the week!!

Ms. Harvey – I really think you should get some help. Your rationale is the most idiotic thing I have heard in ages. You may not agree with homosexuality but anti-bullying laws protect ALL students, not just LGBT.
By the way, why is it OK for some Christians to pick and choose what scriptures should be followed? If the bible is to be taken literally, then why don’t you follow all of it? Should woman have to remain silent in church? Should we still own slaves? Should a man be allowed to impregnate another women because his wife is barren? Give me a break. Oh, and you might think about following this bibilical advice – take a look at the “plank” in your own eye before you point out the splinter in another’s.
Matt I think the concept of what Dan said is not at all what you thought it ment. He’s saying in any case bullying can be justified by religion (doesn’t even mean he’s religious he is fighting the war with THEIR weapons, they are using the bible so he is) therefore it is a complete bullshit law.
Now that’s typical disjointed x-tian logic. Regardless of how many admonishments are in the bible regarding choices of sexuality, there is absolutely no relation to this law: it “Got nothin to do with religion”.
Your statement not only is not applicable to the issue at hand, it makes NO SENSE. As I said , typical x-tian thinking.
Ms. Harvey seems to have no problem with indoctrination as long as her myopic, intolerant doctrine is the one promoted. That’s not the America the Founding Fathers envisioned.
Is America full of uneducated bigots or what? Y’all eat shit and die, bleed the same FUCKING be nice and stop the hate. Ya stupid if you don’t realize that the spectrum of sexuality includes straight gay and bisexual. The way I feel if this shot keeps up it’s going to become more than a war of words it will become a real war I will fight for my life.
The Bible contains six admonishments to homosexuals and 362 admonishments to heterosexuals. Therefore this law does nothing for bullying. In any case you would be able to defend that it’s on religious ground.
Well then it’s a good thing that your Bible is not the law of our nation. Are you saying that it’s ok to bully children who may or may not be homosexual based upon your religion? If so you are as ignorant as this stupid bitch. Your feeble religion does not give you the right to take away the rights of others just because some misogynistic primative douche’bags wrote it down 2000 years ago. I for one, and I’m not alone, am sick and tired of Christians trying to force their delusions down our throats. Shut the fuck up and keep it in your church. There is and never has been a God or Jesus… it’s all myths made up to control idiots like you.
Whoa, Matt — I thought Dan was pointing out the huge gaps in the Michigan law. Since all any bully would have to do to get off scot-free is claim the bullying was on religious grounds, only the stupidest bullies ever would get prosecuted.
Why do these self-righteous, arrogant, radical coservatives think they can impose their beliefs on the masses? The FREEDOM that our service men and women (homosexuals included) fight to protect is the freedom that applies to ALL American citizens not just a select group that feel they are entitled to dictating morals. People like Linda Harvey should find a remote island and create their own country and call it Dumbasslovakia. Bullying for ANY reason should not be tolerated.
