(AgapePress) - A prominent mental health counselor is criticizing the new president of the National Parent Teacher Association over her recent justification of the PTA's decision to allow a homosexual activist group to present a workshop at its national convention last summer, yet deny exhibit space to an "ex-gay" group.
In a recent interview with the AFA Journal, new PTA president Anna Marie Weselak said the group Parents and Friends of Ex-Gays and Gays (PFOX) was rejected because its agenda was not "appropriate to bring to parents and, in turn, to provide for children." According to Weselak, the group Parents, Families, and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG) was invited to the convention to inform parents on the topic of bullying.
"We just did not feel that what
was bringing to us was best for our parents to take back to provide meaningful opportunities for children," the PTA leader stated during the interview. " presence there was to help educate and inform parents on the topic of bullying in order to help make their children safer in schools."
Grove City College professor Dr. Warren Throckmorton, a spokesman for PFOX, believes Weselak is engaging in doublespeak. "She said that the PFLAG presence there was to help educate and inform parents on the topic of bullying," Throckmorton says, "and yet that's all PFOX wanted to do as well, but they wanted to do it from their particular perspective."
