'Recruiting' members and providing anti-hate education are two completely different things.

I don't know if other parents have noticed it, but I've noticed that the elementary school kids around here used anti-gay slurs all the time. "Homo", "fag", "gayster", etc are regularly used as the ultimate insult. If we don't educate our kids that this type of harassment is WRONG, they will grow up with warped ethics.

This article outlines a voluntary school education approach. How can anyone argue with that? If you are homophobic or feel you should have this talk with your kids yourself, pull your child out of that session. As long as the schools respect the rights of the parents, and allow such education to be optional, I can't see a problem with it.
