The problem is overt fascistic-like persecution by the radical Gay Agenda toward resistance, rejection and criticism of their intrusive pro-homosexual agenda in schools. Negative responses are falsely characterized as "homophobic." If there is any logic to the psycho-socio-engineered term "homophobic," then there is an equal and compelling logic to the term "heterophobic" to describe the radical Gay agenda. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ...

Troubled Teens Resources Do you need an argument to convince yourself and your husband that looking into schools for troubled teens is the right decision for your Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder teen.

Consider this excerpt from the just released National Survey of American Attitudes on Substance Abuse XII: Teens ...

I can testify that the policy of the DOD is to get as many warm bodies behind M-16's as it possibly can. I had a rough time growing up. I was a poor, white, erratic boy who seemed to be constantly lost in a sea of strangers. I moved constantly. In the third grade I missed 1/3 of the school year because my parent/step-parent were too strung out on coke to realize I needed to go to school. I dealt with psychological trauma that most ...
What is Leadership? Leadership is the skill of mo Time/ Monday, February 19, 2007 What is Leadership? Leadership is the skill of motivating others to want to struggle to achieve shared aspirations.

Are the skills necessary to be a good leader different from the skills to be a good team player? The view here is that the skills ...
