WorldNetDaily reports that teachers at a Massachusetts high school are being encouraged to “work on [their] own biases” against homosexuality in order to create a “safe zone” for students struggling with sexuality issues. A handout distributed to all faculty of the Springfield High School of Science and Technology, entitled “What teachers can do to make schools safe for lesbians, gays and bisexuals”, lists 11 suggestions “to protect the most maligned victims in today’s society—the gay, lesbian and bisexual students.” Teachers are also encouraged to use “inclusive language that implicitly allows for gay, lesbian and bisexual possibilities by using ‘parent’ rather than ‘mother’ or ‘father,’ ‘spouse’ or ‘partner’ rather than ‘wife’ or ‘husband,’ etc.”
