Action Alert:
StopDrLaura Reports 'She's Baaaaack!'

Compiled By GayToday

Just when you think it's safe ... the Evil One is back StopDrLaura.com leaders Robin Tyler (National Protest Coordinator) and Andy Thayer (Asst. National Protest Organizer) report that radio hostess Dr. Laura Schlessinger is making an attempt to jump-start her career with the help of the Southern Counties Placement Committee (SCPC), an organization which represents social service and mental health workers who work with foster children in Southern California.

It seems that some at the SCPC have invited the misanthropic Schlessinger, who has a Ph.D. in physiology, not psychology or psychiatry, to keynote their September 20-21 convention.

StopDrLaura.com is asking activists around the country to join social service and mental health workers who believe in appropriate care for kids to protest this insult to their professions. StopDrLaura.com suggests that people who believe in equality and professional care for kids ask these questions --

What kind of mental health or social service professional would call any Lesbian or Gay, let alone Gay kids, "biological errors"?

Answer: "Dr." Laura Schlessinger

Despite the recommendations of the American Psychiatric Association and the American Psychological Association, what kind of mental health professional would still insist on calling Lesbians and Gays "deviant"?

Answer: "Dr." Laura Schlessinger

What kind of mental health or social service professional would play into bigoted stereotypes by claiming Gay men are disproportionately pedophiles, despite numerous studies showing the exact opposite?

Answer: You guessed it.

So is the "Dr." is a quack, or a professional? You decide.

To protest the SCPC decision to sponsor Schlessinger's unprofessional advice, StopDrLaura.com is asking people to please send POLITE but FIRM messages to one of the SCPC representatives who invited her:

Greg Dinsmor, co-chair of the conference - GDINSMOR@co.riverside.ca.us or phone him at (909) 487-2674 ext. 228

Private non-profits, which are the agencies that the SCPC place children with, are overseen by the California State department of social services, community care licensing division, which is directed by Rita Saenz, a Governor Gray Davis appointee. One of Saenz's staffers is on the committee that solicited Schlessinger.
