Date: Mon, 04 Dec 1995 01:01:36 -0500 (EST) From: Chris Purdom Subject: IWG Denver Board of Ed. letter The following went out on IWG letterhead (2 congregations, 4 religious organizations and 16 clergy - if you represent a congregation or religious organization or are clergy, let us know if you want to be added): December 2, 1995 All Members Denver Board of Education 900 Grant St. Denver, CO 80203 Dear School Board Members: A poster advertising counseling services is the least you can do for the non-heterosexual students in your district. When students no longer believe that attraction to members of the same sex is grounds for seeing a counselor, you will have done enough. Overcoming the fear and ignorance promoted by organizations like Focus on the Family is a daunting task, but only comprehensive education can beat back the darkness, and only you can provide that education. Put up the posters now and work for the day when you can take them down with pride. Sincerely, Barbara Purdom Christopher Purdom Interfaith Working Group Coordinators
