Brody's Notes... Anti-Gay Mission America's Harvey Implies That Teacher's Union Gives "Financial Incentives" For High Schoolers To Be Gay

Linda Harvey

By Brody Levesque | WASHINGTON D.C. -- On a recent broadcast of her radio show, Linda Harvey of Mission America, targeted a National Education Association affiliate for providing college scholarships for LGBT high school students.

Harvey, who was last credited with her bizarre claim stating that “demonic manipulation” was making kids gay last April as she railed against the National Day of Silence, took to the airwaves to imply that a National Education Association affiliate teachers union was offering “financial incentives” for students “to be actively engaged in both the political goals of homosexuals as well as the risky behaviours."

Harvey combined anti-gay rhetoric with her stringent opposition to the rights of workers and organised labor:

Harvey: 

The group’s website says they raise money for teen scholarships given to those kids who consider themselves homosexual. The past few years the scholarship winners have not simply been young people persuaded to be in this deviant lifestyle, but are students who have unfortunately bought the party line and become involved in activism projects like homosexual clubs and the pro-homosexual Day of Silence in their schools. And so now kids are given financial incentives to be actively engaged in both the political goals of homosexuals as well as the risky behavior. This is appalling. In these tough economic times many kids will be struggling to get money together for college and here we have a really sleazy connection for them to make. It’s just one more outrageous thing going on with our teachers’ unions.
