[HeartStrongList] Outreach to FLDS Students

[heartstrong at heartstrong.org]

The children removed from the fundamentalist Mormon offshoot/rebellion
group in Texas are used to religious homeschooling.  And now, the state of
Texas has instructed those providing foster care to continue to homeschool
the kids in order to precent further culture shock.  There is some logic
to that line of thinking but what has not been discussed by the media is
how any of the young people who are gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender
are dealing with the brainwashing they have endured from their families.
	Because the majority of the agencies providing foster care for these kids
are religious, HeartStrong has expressed its concern to each agencies
regarding further damaging the development of any of the students who are
dealing with being GLBT by furthering any additional faith-based
anti-GLBT teachings in homeschooling lessons.
	HeartStrong will release any and all responses to its efforts to bring to
light the plight of the GLBT young people continuing to be religiously
homeschooled.
