In an effort to combat “homophobia,” a Wisconsin public school teacher implemented a 38-day regimen explicitly designed to change the minds of students who did not view homosexuality as equal to heterosexuality.

11-th grade English teacher Sarah Arnold says she was inspired to create the curriculum, entitled “Exposing Hidden Homophobia,” when she heard an “anti-gay undertone” in students’ conversations, which included making fun of “anything that defied gender stereotype,” according to an article printed in the pro-homosexual publication by the Southern Poverty Law Center “Teaching Tolerance.”

Although students were reluctant and parents “balked,” particularly Christian parents, Arnold would argue that the project supported “higher-order thinking skills” because students were asked to perform such tasks as assembling and presenting portfolios of their research into homosexual culture and media. 

The article claims that, thanks to the program, students began to adopt a more favorable view of homosexuality.

“We really want to make a change in how people think and act,” Rafter said. “I will try to be more brave on these issues myself.”
