Opinion about LGBT….but we are getting off topic. Chaplains and religion have no place in public schools. Keep them out.
I agree. But there is need for inculcation of values and virtue that can be done without religion.

Chaplins, Christian councilors, chiropractors?
Chiropractors. They try to make you think you need them routinely, at $40 per adjustment uninsured.

No. That’s philosophy which is different.
How about empathy? Studies show that it is needed for happiness and yet here it is debated.

What training would "properly trained" mental health professionals have? Would a Christian counselling degree qualify?

A licensed professional. I have no idea what "christian counseling" is.

Interesting thread. Paul Bloom has some informative videos about empathy and it's downsides when left unchecked. I developed similar sentiments when I left my Christian faith. So in a way.. I guess in a way I agree with the detractors in that thread.. but probably not for reasons they'd appreciate, lol.

Should we ban them from going to school, teaching, or running for office?

How does having a gay student cause the school to be taken over by Satanic ideology?
It's the promotion of it which is leading unaware and innocent children into a life of utter despair. It is a spiritual condition called sin. It's not a biological condition. Pretending that it is natural and healthy and something to be embraced is a lie.
To be sure, Anton Lavey, who wrote the Satanic Bible and started the San Francisco based Church of Satan in the 60's was an atheist who hated Christianity. He decided to start his church to be anti Christian, taking atheism to it's logical conclusion. Although, he kept the biblical admonition not to harm the children, unlike the Democrat party, and the public school system of today. Whether it's Satanism, Fascism, Communism, or atheism, they are all man centered and law becomes whatever protects them and their ideology. That's why in Canada, 2 young college students were arrested for telling the truth that there are only 2 genders. What relevance is truth to those who are led only by their inclinations?

Why would you think sexual orientation is an ideology? Most gay people I have known would rather be straight. The spiritual condition of sin is vast. It is just that some forms are more acceptable than others.

I'm not talking about an individuals struggle with sin, after all, I've had my own struggles. I'm talking about the ideology that embraces sin, calling good evil and evil good. The difference between the Bible and the Satanic Bible. When Biden placed a gay pride flag on the White House, he is embracing the ideology of Satanism whether knowingly or ignorantly. Jesus Christ is the only hope for the LBGT.. people, just like He was the only hope for me.

How is the tongue in cheek larping the church of satan and others of that ilk engage in the logical conclusion of not thinking god/s exist?

Have you ever read the Satanic Bible by Anton Levey? It is all about immediate self gratification. That goes far beyond sexuality.

Since the USA is no longer a community, ie, a population with common values, the ultimate solution now is to get the "public" out of schools.
Instead of destroying public schools, maybe the people who feel this way can just send their kids to their choice of private schools.

(Preferably without sticking out their hands for a share of my taxes, which go to support the common good.)
