Sheldon also notes a section of the curriculum that tells the story of Floyd Cochran, a former neo-Nazi who quit the movement after becoming disenchanted. There is no discussion in the text of Christian opposition to racism, Sheldon notes. Karen McLaughlin, the author of Healing the Hate, was contacted at her office at the Educational Development Center in Newton, Mass., several times in reference to this series. While McLaughlin made several appointments to be interviewed by CNS , in each case she cancelled the interview later. According to Lin, hate speech is not merely speech that invites or initiates a physical confrontation.
Hate speech invokes physical degradation of other people.
Speech can't be separated from the historical context. While the lifestyle is not necessarily endorsed one way or the other, we have to look at the rights of the individual to embrace that lifestyle. Sheldon, however, dismisses claims that this approach does not advocate for homosexuality. That seems to be a trend throughout the nation with this kind of material.
