The American Heritage School Shouldn't Force Students to Sign Anti-Gay Contracts

Targeting: Mike Bohn, Christina Davies (Vice President), Shari Wheeler (Office Manager), Brooke Sheets (Secretary), Elizabeth Jacob (Admissions Director), Katie Holmstead (President), Grant Beckwith (Principal), Trudy J. Camp (Assistant Principal), Blaine Hunsaker (Assistant Principal), Leland Anderson (Assistant Principal), Rich Weyland (Business Director), Janine Miner (Vice President), and Bob Wheeler (Director of Facilities)
 
Started by: Caleb Laieski
The American Heritage School has an Honor Code Statement requesting that the person "understand that homosexual activity is a serious sin, and that if I find myself struggling with same-gender attraction, I will seek counsel from my parents and bishop."
Considering "homosexuality" as a problem is strongly discouraged by reputable organizations such as the American Psychological Association, American Counseling Association and the American Psychiatric Association.

The bible teaches that "Thou Shalt Love Thy Neighbor as Thyself" and clearly considers "hate" and "judgment" a sin and immoral.

Request that this statement be removed from the Honor Code Statement, as well as the addition of sexual orientation and gender identity be added to their current non-discrimination policy and notice.

Dear Administrators
I am writing concerning the statement in your Honor Code Statement requesting that the person "understand that homosexual activity is a serious sin, and that if I find myself struggling with same-gender attraction, I will seek counsel from my parents and bishop."


Considering "homosexuality" as a problem is strongly discouraged by reputable organizations such as the American Psychological Association, American Counseling Association and the American Psychiatric Association.


The bible teaches that "Thou Shalt Love Thy Neighbor as Thyself" and clearly considers "hate" and "judgment" a sin and immoral.


I hope to see this statement removed from the Honor Code Statement, as well as the addition of sexual orientation and gender identity be added to your current non-discrimination policy and notice.


I look forward to your response,

[Your name]
