>>4-H Continues Pro-Gay Policy, Despite Law Change
>>
>>Reacting to complaints from concerned parents and pressure from the
>>Minnesota Family Council (MFC), the Minnesota Legislature closed a
>>loophole in the state gay rights law that some say required 4-H Clubs
>>to accept homosexuality and to permit homosexuals to serve as leaders
>>for children in the clubs.
>>
>>Other youth organizations were already exempt from the law. However,
>>the University of Minnesota's Extension Service, which administers the
>>4-H program, had required the 4-H volunteers to sign a statement saying
>>they would accept homosexuals.
>>
>>"Clearly parents who want to volunteer as leaders in a program for
>>children such as 4-H should not be required to sign statement
>>supporting gay rights," said Tom Prichard, executive director of MFC.
>>"This is just one more example of the 1993 state gay rights statute
>>being used to promote the homosexual agenda to children over the
>>objections of concerned parents."
>>
>>The issue of homosexuality and 4-H Clubs was raised in December by the
>>Pro-Family News after MFC received calls from concerned parents.
>>At the time, officials from the U of M's Extension Service claimed that
>>their policy on homosexuality was required by state law.
>>
>>To clarify the issue, MFC successfully encouraged state lawmakers
>>specifically to exempt 4-H Clubs from the state's gay rights law.
>>
>>The legislative victory does not guarantee a policy change, however.
>>Katherine Fennelly, director of the University's Extension Service,
>>which oversees the state's 1,500 4-H Clubs, told the St. Paul Pioneer
>>Press that she has no plans to change her policy. "I really feel
>>strongly that we need to model for young people the type of behavior
>>we expect of them, and that includes judging people on their merits and
>>not on demographic characteristics or sexual orientation or marital
>>status," she said.
>>
>>Prichard expressed surprise at the belligerence of the University's
>>response to the legislative action. "This is an outrage, and I am
>>surprised by the arrogance of the University officials in their
>>commitment to the gay agenda over the best interests of 4-H children,"
>>said Prichard.
>>
>>"The Extension Service no longer has the state gay rights statute to
>>hide behind-now we have only the Extension Service itself to blame
>>for promoting the homosexual agenda among children in 4-H. By not
>>changing its policy, the Extension Service is essentially admitting
>>that it is itself pro-gay," he continued.
>>
>>Prichard added, "The will of the Legislature is clear. Yet the U of M
>>Extension Service is defying the will of the Legislature, thwarting
>>the efforts of many 4-H parents who have pushed for this legislation,
>>and worst of all, ignoring the best interest of 4-H children. We will
>>investigate further actions to alleviate this situation--volunteers and
>>parents should not be required to affirm gay rights through 4-H."
