So I ran a quick search on the subject.

This in one search on this story. Not a single reputable source on the first page.
I had to go to page 2 in my search, where I found the NYTimes to find this story. Here are a few quotes.
"The program is not about sexual orientation but rather about breaking up social cliques, which are especially evident in a school cafeteria, Ms. Costello said. "
" Although parents did complain to Kevin Brady, the head of the Avon Grove Charter School in rural Pennsylvania, the school is still planning to hold Mix it Up at Lunch Day for its 1,600 students.
Students will each be assigned a number and then paired up by school officials. The school has a large population of special-needs students who can feel isolated and thus benefit greatly from the program, Mr. Brady said.
The school started it a few years ago, inspired, in part, by the shootings at Columbine High School in Colorado and examples of bully-related violence that surfaced in schools around the country.
He said the e-mail sent by the association described a program that had “absolutely no resemblance to what we do.” Once parents understood how the program worked, they decided not keep their children home that day, he said.
“I think they feel they have been taken for a bit of a ride,” he said. "

So in other words, the absurd exaggerations I've seen here, and on many of these sites, are horseshit.
