Go to School, Get Groomed!!

Empower finds a no-longer-shocking fact:  several Wisconsin school districts promote a 'LBGTQ+' website which includes adult-to-teen contact potential.

TrevorSpace bills itself as an affirming place for LGBTQ young people. Several Wisconsin school districts encourage their students to check out the site.

But is the social networking site little more than an online dating community putting kids as young as 13 at risk of sexual exploitation?

An Empower Wisconsin review of TrevorSpace finds the site allows children and adults (strangers) to communicate directly, while encouraging discussions of human sexuality, sexual attraction, and sexual fetishes....

Cool.

...at least seven Wisconsin school districts encourage their students to check out TrevorSpace.

“TrevorSpace is a social networking site for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer & questioning (LGBTQ) youth under 25 and their friends and allies,” the Monona Grove School District promotes on its Student Services page.

Madison and Sun Prairie school districts promote TrevorSpace as a place to “Start meeting LGBTQ friends today! TrevorSpace is an affirming international community for LGBTQ young people ages 13-24. Sign up and start a conversation.”

The small Pepin School District in Northwest Wisconsin includes a link to TrevorSpace on its website, describing it as an “online international peer to peer community for LGBTQ young people and their friends.”

Jefferson, Deforest and the Trevor-Wilmot Consolidated Grade School District also promote TrevorSpace as a resource for kids....

There are probably more than just those seven, but the others hide it better.
