Mrs. Loveless

awwwww Cmon that cant be her real name

[JoshGray]

Why was she wanting to attend assemblies her daughter wasn't?

[hoosierham]

The cockroaches hate the light ;they can't take the chance of the truth about the filth they are infecting the children with being known.

There is NO GOOD REASON for ANY school lesson or assembly not being open to parental and public scrutiny; both the parents and general public MUST know what is being taight to America's youth.

A St. Louis, Mo. mom is suing the public high school that blocked her from observing a school-sponsored assembly conducted by the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN).

Gee, wonder what GLSEN could be teaching kids that they would want to conceal behind closed doors?

For all the warm, fuzzy FReepers out there -- who always reply that they "don't care what homos do in the privacy of their own bedroom" -- look. It's out of the bedroom!

I know this has been asked several times, but why does a political group (GLSEN) have access to students anyway?

With the existance of small camcorders and the Net, I'm sure a student who decides to go in "wired" could provide some interesting footage

Kattracks - you post the best stuff!
This is an outrageous example of how bold the homo agenda is getting. If what they were doing was truly good "for the children" they would not care if a parent saw it. You can bet is some kid asked them if their lesbian mom could attend they would say yes.
Good for this mom for suing. Hannity should get her on the show, O'Reilly too. Rush, talk about it please.
This is a public school right??? Then taxpayers and parents have every right to know what is going on behind the doors.

We've got some common ground there.

It was only a matter of time before active homosexual proselytization entered the government-run schools. They're full of kids whose sexuality is in a state of flux, powerful but not yet completely formed. It's all of a piece with the attack on the churches and the Boy Scouts, and it points in the same direction.

Yet, this isn't a new development, except as regards direct homosexual activism. Thomas Sowell's marvelous book Inside American Education reports mercilessly on instances of school systems charging teachers not to allow students to take classroom materials or class notebooks home to show to their parents. Usually, those materials were used in "values clarification" courses -- courses in which the school tries to thwart the vertical transmission of values and standards from parents to children.

Often, when parents have gotten hold of the materials from such courses and presentations, the resulting outcry has overturned an entire school board and the whole administrative hierarchy of the school. Scant wonder that those who push these non-academic programs don't want the word to get around.

Perhaps because she is a taxpayer, and her taxes paid for the public school assembly?

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

Why was she wanting to attend assemblies her daughter wasn't?

She is a taxpayer isn't she? She has as much of a stake in what the schools are teaching as anyone.

[JoshGray]

Mmmmm... no. Nothing in there about being a taxpayer -- just being the mother of a student...

The ACLJ lawsuit contends that school officials deprived Loveless of her parental right to be fully informed of the content of her daughter's education.

... who's educational content did not include these assemblies.

[Tom Bombadil]

You have to send your child to our school but you are not allowed to view what it is that we are teaching to her. Time to join the alliance for separation of school and state.

My oldest son is thirteen years old. I've now had three 'birds and bees' talks, where I have been quite explicit in explaining sex to him. The talks have included the physical description, how our religion treats sex, venereal diseases, the things he's going to experience as his body changes, etc. etc. He is just barely starting to experience puberty. But now THREE times, I have had to have explicit discussions with him about homosexuality. First, our Boy Scout troop was attacked (verbally) in town and a controversy ensued. He naturally asked detailed questions about that. Second, it turns out that the previous pastor of our other son's Catholic school was a homosexual child rapist (his victims have been on TV quite a bit recently). We had to explain to our children that they had to be careful being around priests in the the church. When our 13-year old asked why, we had to explain what's been going on. (And of course, he already has a good idea, given the priest-jokes going around school.) Then thirdly, his public school has started to talk about homosexuality like its normal and healthful and good. I WANT HIM TO LEARN ABOUT NORMAL SEXUAL RELATIONS BETWEEN A MAN AND WOMAN FIRST!!! STOP, STOP, STOP FORCING US TO BRING UP HOMOSEXUALITY WITH OUR THIRTEEN YEAR OLD. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

Mmmmmmm.
Curioser and curioser.

Nothing in the article about the mother being alive either.
But I would risk a wild guess that most non-deviant readers (correctly) assume that the mother is alive.

So, you know for a fact she is not a taxpayer? Even if she doesn't own property, it's a sure bet any sales taxes paid by her or her family contributed to some form of public school expenses. BTW, what is the functional difference between an assembly and a classroom? Don't they both require mandatory attendance by students by default? Do public school assemblies generally let children decide their attendence as optional?

[Diva Betsy Ross]

Being a taxpayer does not need to be a label given by the author of this article, it is a fact. She is a Mom AND a taxpayer.. duh...

She may also like to see what the "powers that be" think is an appropiate assembly for the kids to see. Considering they are deciding what the children learn, she may like to know about their judgement, and what is so important to take time away from learning something valuable.

Would you say the same about a parent who wants to visit a daycare where their child attends, however, isn't present on said visitation day? What if a parent was kicked out of that institution? This taxpaying Mom had every right to be there and see first hand what is going on.

BTW don't say if she is a stay at home Mom she doesn't pay any taxes. My husband pays enough for five people so i can stay home.

BRAVO MOM!!!

GLSEN bills itself as the country's largest network of parents, students and educators aimed at preventing "discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender/identity expression in K-12 schools," according to its website.

Preventing discrimination is not their goal

THIS IS!.....John Dunphy in The Humanist 1983 said “The battle for man-kinds future must be won in the classroom by teachers who correctly perceive their role as proselytizers of a new faith that will replace Christianity”
