London Free Press: : "Parents opposing a school program used a picture from a satirical newspaper on their pamphlets."

The photo shows a teacher at the front of a class with explicit sexual images and terms drawn on the board and is supposed to represent one of the "countless" classrooms where homosexuality is promoted. The picture was copied from the Onion, a satirical newspaper from the United States. The headline of the 1998 story says, " '98 homosexual drive nearing goal." ... Marilyn Ashworth of STOP said it's concerned the photo represents what will end up in this region's schools if the board goes ahead with its plan. "We knew it was a gay paper and we hold that even as a joke, the gay community is proud of their advancements into the safe schools program in the U.S.," she said. "We don't think homosexuality in schools is a joke." Asked whether she believed it was a real photo, Ashworth said the caption included the teacher's name, city, state and grade. "We researched in depth and that was one of the things we found," she said, noting the group spent seven weeks accumulating research. "We don't come by our findings lightly. . . . Whether it was meant to be a joke or not, it's not funny to parents who are trying to protect their children." Other headlines on the archival page are: Antique dealer sick of appraising smurf collections and Orgy a logistical nightmare. Sean Mills, president of the Onion, laughed when he heard the news. "The motto the writers have is we're not going after the right or the left, we're just going after people who are dumb," Mills said.
