The letter reminds school superintendents that it is not uncommon for adolescents to experience transient confusion about their sexual orientation and that most students will ultimately adopt a heterosexual orientation if not otherwise encouraged. For this reason, schools should avoid developing policies that encourage nonheterosexual attractions among students who may merely be experimenting or experiencing temporary sexual confusion. Such premature labeling can lead some adolescents to engage in homosexual behaviors that carry serious physical and mental health risks.
There is no scientific evidence that anyone is born homosexual. Therefore, the College further advises that schools should not teach or imply to students that homosexual attraction is innate, always life-long, and unchangeable. To the contrary, research has shown that therapy to restore heterosexual attraction can be effective for many people.
It is not the school's role to diagnose or attempt to treat any student's medical condition, and certainly not the school's role to "affirm" a student's perceived personal sexual orientation. The "Facts About Youth" website counters the propaganda published by the pro-homosexual pamphlet called "Just the Facts," which is riddled with inaccuracies.
Mathew D. Staver, Founder of Liberty Counsel and Dean of Liberty University School of Law, commented: "Public schools can harm students by suggesting that same-sex attractions are natural and unchangeable. Research shows that youth who experience sexual confusion often do so only for a temporary period. To suggest to a student that temporary sexual confusion means the person is homosexual can be damaging and harmful.

The main web site referenced says "This site is a project of the American College of Pediatricians, in coalition with other organizations who share a concern for the well-being of all youth." The professionals who produced it are all medical doctors and respected scientific researchers.

Your information is wrong. And you quoted a fundamentalist Christian to back it up. The truth is the homosexuality is something you're born with. It's not a choice, any more than your (apparently) heterosexuality was a choice. Next time, try getting your information from actual scientists and not from fundies and conspiracy theorists.

The LGBT agenda is to mainstream deviancy. This is something that most clear thinking Americans find abhorrent. The czar is himself gay and wants to further that agenda.

It's just a continuation of the (beginning in the 1960s) Soviet effort to undermine our culture and break up the family. USSR is gone of course, but its disciples have taken over the education system(s).
Answer by A. E. Moreira
It might be because what the doctors are saying and what Kevin Jennings is addressing are not the same topic; one appears to be addressing tolerance and the other sex education. Not apples-to-apples.
As for the issue of sexual activity, Breitbart showed me that it did not properly vet its links to ensure that the information it claims to be linked is, in fact, the information is linked. How about making the information available in complete excerpts (claiming fair use)?
