Since the group is not recognized by the school, it is impossible for parents to influence it, or ask for its closure. Although not official, the group gains credibility through each successive mailing, meeting, and forum. Soon, students confused about their sexual identity begin to come out publicly, becoming activists themselves. Gay pride symbols appear on the student TV station. Because the students are perceived as the initiators of these actions, there is no administrative censure.
Activist teachers become more public in their attempts to pass on the tenets of gay activism.
Students are by now required to read books that have explicit gay and lesbian stories, and they are humiliated in class if they express any reservations about homosexuality. A gay-activist teacher is made the head, aided by a sympathetic social worker from Project 10. Parents are not contacted if their child enters the Project 10 group. The group's social worker now states that he believes that sexual identity is not an issue that has anything to do with values. As of this writing, there still is no organized opposition to Project 10 among staff members, and no group has formed among parents to oppose this agenda.
