It's Elementary: Gay and Lesbian Issues in the Classroom
"...It's Elementary is alarming because the reactions of people in the video--adults, youth, and especially the children--indicate that the foundation for acceptance of homosexuality as a legitimate, healthy alternative to heterosexuality has already been successfully laid down in our country. In fact, within an unknown but growing number of American schools and classrooms, both public and private, affirmation of a sexually deviant minority has been advanced to a much greater degree than most citizens realize.
After I shared this film with the parents of a gay young adult, the couple labeled this a "bait and switch" vehicle. It's Elementary, they observed, seemed to be asking for respect for homosexual people; in reality, it was preaching respect for the homosexual condition. They believed the producers were using a subtle process of effectively and deceptively re-educating children, especially young children, incrementally to the point of accepting behavior that would ordinarily be seen as outside the norm....
This "sanitized presentation" of homosexuality, as the reviewing parents described it, obviously was intended to make it hard for the kids watching the film to discern facts from propaganda. They cited one boy's statement, describing the effect this lesson on homosexuality had had on him: "It's kind of like vegetables: you don't know [you'll like homosexuality] until you try."
Musta been one helluva Harlequin Romance Novel...
seriously?
Well...certainly all the way back in the mid/late 70s they sure would have...
What year was this? Not being a smart ass, just curious- I found out my uncle, who lives in the midwest, didn't find out about oral sex until he was in his thirties, and I guess that would haqve been in the '60s.
I don't mean to be rude, but that's just a very different world to me.
Unfortunately, the Assembly Education Committee defeated AB 1326 on January 16. All four Republicans present voted in support. Eight Democrats voted in opposition. A copy of the votes is enclosed
A Los Angeles Unigied School District (LAUSD) teacher testified in support of AB 1326. He explained and displayed the materials he has collected under court order that were being used for LAUSD's "Models of Pride 2" diversity training. Believe me when I tell you that this material is grossly inappropriate to be used in our schools under the guise of "safety" or "diversity" training or anything else. In my view, the material is pornographic and obscene.
I believe government schools should focus their energies on teaching our children to read, to write, to understand mathematics, to think and to analyze. Schools should not seek to use our schools as vehicles for social engineering.
I am very concerned about the direction government school curriculum is headed. Last year's Assembly Bill 1785 (Chapter 955, Statytes if 2000) requires schools to teach sexual orientation as a form of diversity. This year's AB 1434 proposed authorizing payment to outside "organizations" to teach K-12 students diversity. Under AB 1434, diverse sexual orientations, such as trans-sexuality, could be taught to children as normal and healthy.
Late last year, Superintendent of Public Instruction Delaine Eastin created a 38 member task force to draft recommendations and strategies for implementing AB537 (Chapter 587, Statutes of 1999). Interestingly, Mike Marshall, the task force co-chairman, also serves as Executive Director of the San francisco Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center.
Assembly Bill 537 proposes teaching our children diversity in order to create "safe schools." The AB 537 Task Force met in several secret sessions. They drafted a set of 12 recommendations to implement AB537. Under these recommendations, all State curriculums will be change to include alternative sexual lifestyles. In other words, literature, math word provlems, health and social studies classes, as well as other subjects will be tailored to positively protray homosexuality, bisexuality and transgenderism. The California Department of Education is poised to adopt these recommendations as administrative regulations to be followed in every K-12 public school. You can access the recommendations at the following site: http://www.cde.ca.gov/spbranch/safety/ab537/report.pdf
One of the recommendations urges the Department to "create positive, grade-appropriate visual images that include all sexual orientations and gender identities" for use in schools.
I have enclosed a copy of my AB press release, a list of the books approved by LAUSD for use in their diversity training, a page listing the members of the Assembly Education Committee and how you can contact them. I hope you will take the time to view these books and to write to the members of the Assembly Education Committee voicing your opinion on their AB1326 votes.
If you are as concerned as I am, I encourage you to go to your local school district and check out the materials being used for their diversity training or gay/lesbian appreciation days or weeks.
If you think the information is inappropriate, please let your school board know immediately.
Sincerely, Dennis Mountjoy
"Obviously, this is some kind of learned behavior, and it's our job to learn where it came from," Sooter said.
hmm...maybe from stuff like "It's Elementary"?
There's lots of useful information posted in GrandMoM's thread:
Assemblyman MOUNTJOY opposes promotion of homosexuality in public schools
I am absolutely certain that lots of this type of behavior is happening because of the "example" of our 42nd president.
That said, fourth grade? OMG!
That is the worse case scenearo, in the eyes of the clinon worshippers.
Boys giving boys or a boy bjs, no big deal.
I hadn't heard that this was the second occurrence until I saw this article. I did hear that force was used. The teacher whose classroom this took place in should be mopping floors someplace - not still be employed and working in the same classroom.

I am so sick of reading about this crap almost on a daily basis. Here is the website for the school district contact page. Email every one of them and tell them that a ONE DAY SUSPENSION is not good enough.
Dear Ms. Marable:
I was shocked and apalled when I read the article regarding the five 4th grade boys performing oral sex in the back of their classroom. But, I was even more disgusted with the action of the school, and the district.
First, how on earth can such an incident take place in a classroom?! Are you teachers not trained to supervise the children in their care, or do they just don't give a damn?
Second, I found it hard to believe the boys received only a one day suspension. What kind of message does this send to the other children in that school? That such an incident is not as bad as, say, getting caught smoking? Which, by the way, when I was in school I received a 5-day suspension for getting caught smoking in the bathroom. In my opinion, you are being far too easy on these children and are leaving the door wide open for further embarassment.
And finally, I wish to express my belief that this is simply chickens coming home to roost-- a result of the public school system forcing sex education and tolerance of homosexuals onto an age group that is way too young to deal with the responsibilites and consequences of sex.
I will never, ever enroll my children into a school in your district. This incident has convinced me to send my children to a private school when the time comes to begin their education.

UNLESS, of course, they've received their federal and state-mandates Sex Education since kindergarten.
