One of the most effective tools used by the gay lobby to indoctrinate children into homosexuality - the anti-bullying program - is under fire after a recent study found that the programs may actually promote rather than prevent bullying.

According to a press release from the University of Texas-Arlington, recent research has found that students attending schools which offer anti-bullying programs may be more likely to be a victim of bullying than children at schools without such programs.

The findings run counter to the common perception that bullying prevention programs can help protect kids from repeated harassment or physical and emotional attacks.

“One possible reason for this is that the students who are victimizing their peers have learned the language from these anti-bullying campaigns and programs,” said Seokjin Jeong, an assistant professor of criminology and criminal justice at UT Arlington and lead author of the study, which was published in the Journal of Criminology.

“The schools with interventions say, ‘You shouldn’t do this,’ or ‘you shouldn’t do that.’ But through the programs, the students become highly exposed to what a bully is and they know what to do or say when questioned by parents or teachers,” Jeong said.

They also learn how to bully from videos and other resources typically used in the programs.

For their study, Jeong and his co-author, Byung Hyun Lee, a doctoral student in criminology at Michigan State University, analyzed data from 7,001 students, ages 12 to 18, from 195 different schools.

Jeong's team found that older students were less likely to be victims of bullying than younger students, with serious problems of bullying occurring among sixth-, seventh- and eighth-graders. The most pervasive bullying occurred at the high school level.

Boys were more likely than girls to be victims of physical bullying, but girls were more likely to be victims of emotional bullying. A lack of involvement and support from parents and teachers was likely to increase the risk of bullying victimization.

These findings are all consistent with prior studies and are also borne out by current statistics which show that 75 percent of schools report a violent incident to policy on a weekly basis and 25 percent of schools on a daily basis, according to the Journal of Criminology.

In an interview with CBS, Jeong admitted that he was surprised by the findings, saying that he expected to discover that the programs were having at least some positive impact. Instead, he found the opposite to be true.

Calling the results “a very disappointing and a very surprising thing," he concluded that "our anti-bullying programs, either intervention or prevention does not work.”

In fact, “There is a possibility of negative impact from anti-bullying programs,” with some doing more harm than good, he said.

That anti-bullying programs are being used as a front by gay activists to indoctrinate children into homosexuality is something even the activists admit to be true.

“Why would we push anti-bullying programs or social studies classes that teach kids about the historical contributions of famous queers unless we wanted to deliberately educate children to accept queer sexuality as normal?,” wrote Daniel Villarreal on Queerty.com, a website that promotes the gay agenda.

“We want educators to teach future generations of children to accept queer sexuality. In fact, our very future depends on it. Recruiting children? You bet we are,” he added. “I for one certainly want tons of school children to learn that it’s OK to be gay, that people of the same sex should be allowed to legally marry each other, and that anyone can kiss a person of the same sex without feeling like a freak. . . . "

Forty-nine states currently have anti-bullying programs laws, some of them so overly broad that they have become an excuse for censorship of speech protected by the First Amendment, such as pro-life and traditional marriage advocacy.
