Oh no, homosexuals aren't going to indoctrinate your kids. They are just like normal people.

Stoolpacking sodomites cannot breed so they must recruit.

Kimberly Hammond, the HUSD chief administration officer, said the intent of the resolution is not to "teach about homosexuality."

"The curriculum and the training for the staff is intended to help them address issues of school safety," she said. "So there is not per se a curriculum for teaching about gays and lesbians."

"Not per se" is standard acadamic jargon for "I'm actually lying to your face right now."

I recall the parents' screening of the sex ed film that my daughter's school wanted to show when she was in the 5th grade... at 8:30 AM on a Friday morning around a table that seated a dozen (this at a school that routinely drew 100 plus parents for evening PTA meetings).

When I referred to it as a "sex ed film," the smarmy school district rep told me it was "not a sex ed film per se" because it talked about deodorant during the introduction to puberty, so it was really a "health film."

...Nevermind the cartoon picture of an ejaculating penis several minutes later.

Of course I opted my daughter out. Teaching sex ed in a peer context that deliberately excludes parents is "not a stupid idea, per se."

California parents are protesting school policies which they say allow teachers and school staff to talk about homosexuality with children and openly discuss their own homosexual lifestyles with students during classroom instructional time.

Why should any teacher -- homosexual, heterosexual, or other -- openly discuss their own lifestyle with students during classroom time?

"The California Student Safety and Violence Prevention Act of 2000 (AB 537) does not obligate schools to tell parents about classroom instruction that might conflict with their religious or moral beliefs and does not give parents the opportunity to take their children out of the instruction, legal analysts said."

Schools are obligated to tell parents about classroom instruction if parents will take the time to file a copy of the "Hatch Amendment letter" with the school.

(The letter is also posted in in reply #96 in the thread Assemblyman MOUNTJOY opposes promotion of homosexuality in public schools.)

"The fact is, the safety umbrella is what is being used to justify all of these aggressive campaigns that do nothing less than openly promote homosexuality to students who are working through very sensitive gender identity issues in their early adolescence," Dacus said.

Amen, bro. It's incredible how effective the "safety" argument is. Because actual violence against students perceived to be homosexual isn't nearly as prevalent as they want you to believe it is, parents who are informed of the few-and-far-between horror stories panic and say, "Something's gotta be done." They don't know that for parents who want to teach their children their own values, the "cure" is worse than the disease.

...are prohibited from discriminating against individuals on the basis of race, gender, ethnicity, age, religious creed, sexual preference and/or orientation, marital status, physical or mental disability, ancestry or national origin.

You mean to say that all these years I've just had a "preference" for females? Sounds a bit weak for what goes on when I see Heather Kozar on the Price is Right.

According to Matthew 18:6, Jesus said, "Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea."

Better corner the California market on millstones! I think they'll be needing them.
