SETTING THE FOX TO GUARD THE HENS :

Mentoring Group's New Rule Demands Gay Inclusion (Adam Housley, July 29, 2002, FOX News)

Big Brothers-Big Sisters of America Inc., the organization that for nearly a century has provided adult mentors to help kids from single-parent families, has imposed a new rule that demands that all 500 U.S. affiliates sign up for homosexual mentors or risk being kicked out of the program.

"It's another case of political correctness gone wild," said Peter Sprigg, Senior Director of Culture Studies at the Family Research Council.

Sprigg said sexual preference must be taken into account when considering role models for children.

"They don't allow adult men to serve as mentors for young girls and presumably that is in large part because of the risk those mentors might view those children as potential sexual objects. So it makes no sense whatsoever to allow homosexual men to serve as mentors to young boys," he said.

Glad to see we all learned a lesson fron the Church's sex scandals. Posted by Orrin Judd at July 30, 2002 8:07 PM
