Readers will remember that Hitler singled out homosexuals, Jews, gypsies, the mentally ill, mentally retarded and committed Christians for the Nazis' particularly heinous brand of mass murder. Jews have never forgotten that grouping and have been mindful of those assaults on humanity ever since.

We believe that the Salt Lake City School Board's latest action to prevent the formation of gay/lesbian student clubs gives the appearance of approval to those who engage in hate activity.The Legislature's approach (SB246 and the illegal secret meeting) encourages this activity as well.

Is the world really welcome here in 2002?
