you've heard other names. They are not behaving in a normal and decent way, and you must avoid them." According to Braden, this section of the lecture "has probably provoked more controversy than any other aspect of the Evanston program. Many parents object that it overemphasizes guilt." Indeed, ONE wonders also about "every 6th man' in this large audience of pre-teen children, whose future sexual orientation has already been blueprinted into their attitudes and patterns of behavior. What will be his (or her) reaction to the ghastly information that he is doomed to become a pariah in the eyes of school authorities, of a family whom he loves, and of his supposedly "normal and decent' schoolmates? ONE can think of no better way of blighting such children's chances for adult success and happiness, and it fervently hopes that, in this area of sexual behavior, the incredibly ill-advised and brutal practice reported from Evanston will spread no further.

"None of us may like men wearing wigs," Judge E. A. Beard is quoted as saying, "but we can't criminally prosecute them for it."
