The emotionally strong level of denial you and some others here would attribute to that piece. I wasn't there, and neither were you, so I am not about to claim one version of events is correct and another is incorrect. On the other hand, you appear to have completely accepted the mostly benign point of view as fact, and discounted the other as total hyperbole. My information here is a based on a number of sources, primarily Margot Ables, one of the presenters of the workshops in question. It is also based on my own research and knowledge of the political right in Massachusetts, HIV/AIDS education, effective prevention programs, and Gay Straight Alliances. Although I ordered the tape of this workshop, as offered in the email version of this article, it has not yet arrived. Because of this I am as of yet unable to provide a transcript of the workshop (and until legal questions about the copyright, distribution and confidentiality questions are answered, I will not personally provide that transcript.) I stand by the facts as presented here insofar as I have been able to discover them. could have taken place while no one on this board would have heard about it. And although the classroom wasn't where the event took place, it clearly involved children and our educational system. They may not have funded it, but they surely supported it.
