Camp counselor fired for discussing lesbianism...
Edited on Wed Mar-02-05 09:27 PM by bob_weaver
SAN DIEGO -- District officials from Alpine Union School District fired a 22-year-old camp counselor after it was discovered that she discussed her lesbian experiences with about 60 sixth-grade girls, 10News reported. While some parents say that's enough, others are thinking twice about sending their kids to camp.

District administrators confirmed that at a sixth-grade camp last month, some of the students were using the word lesbian in a derogatory way. Officials said the camp counselor who talked to them about it, went too far.

The counselor discussed her lesbian experiences with about 60 sixth-grade girls.

5. They are saying on the TV news here that she told them that out of 60, the
odds are that 10 of them are likely to become lesbians. They are also saying that she described her first lesbian experience to them.

2. Not knowing the details, and making assumptions....
... I don't see what the uproar is supposed to be. I wouldn't want my kids to have camp counselors talking to them about the details of their sex lives?

Does that make me a bad Democrat? lol

4. That's just what I was thinking. Wouldn't care if it was lesbian or hetero
sex. Why would the counselor need to share "details" of her sexual experience?

3. Alpine is repuke/fundieville.
Doesnt surprise me.
But the counsellor shouldnt be sharing her sexual experiences with minors at 6th grade camp.
Its just not the place for that.
