“The truth of the matter is we never played the game except to post it [online],” said Watson, who said JASMYN has programming involving people ranging from ages 13 to 29 but handles different ages differently. “That game is an adult game. It was meant for adults and that is exactly how we were trying to offer it,” said Watson, who said it was part of an HIV-prevention outreach.
The school contract was for JASMYN staff involvement in a range of events including meetings for supporting and developing gay-straight alliance clubs in Duval County schools. Greene told principals that canceling the contract “in no way impairs our continued commitment to all students and employees, including those that identify as LGBTQ+.”
Watson said she regretted losing the contract, and said she thought the school district’s decision wrongly assumed minors had in fact been exposed to improper material. The contract was a noticeable but not huge part of JASMYN’s roughly $2 million annual budget and Watson said making up for the loss would require some adjustment.
Wow. I’m shocked. 😐
JASMYN has done a lot of good in the past, but they clearly crossed a line here! The fact that they cannot acknowledge that, and simply blame a 'right-wing website' is astonishing.
What is the conservative website?
Interesting article from 2016 about JASMYN. They do excellent work.
