[edit] Controversy
I have deleted the line "Children as young as 12 and 13 were also reportedly in attendance" from the controversy section as it is not verified by the source and has been denied by conference organizers. I also deleted the line "Despite the controversy that erupted over this event, GLSEN has continued to offer similar workshops for students" as the source provided gave no evidence that any sexually explicit workshops have been presented by GLSEN since the original event.Viciouslies 16:19, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
- It is my understanding that a "controversy" should not be included with no citations. Otherwise, it is simply heresay. Kukini 05:06, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
- We need to work together to ensure that NPOV status is secure in this article. Kukini 17:29, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
- Some quick searching shows that this account is innacurate -- for instance, the title of the panel mentioned in the writeup is wrong. --Larrybob 21:16, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
- Additionally, with a national organization with many chapters, devoting such a substantial portion of the article to a "controversy" that happened at one particular conference seems to throw the emphasis of the article off.--Larrybob 21:19, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Usefulness of the chapter list
It it really useful to have a list of all the chapters? It's just a list, there's no additional information, and really doesn't seem to be very useful. eaolson 03:41, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
