The Unified School District in Alameda California has passed a curriculum by a 3-2
vote that includes includes a compulsory 45-minute Lesbian Gay Bisexual and
Transgendered (LGBT) lesson for kindergarten through fifth grade. The kindergarten
lesson will study sexual orientation stereotypes with childrens books like "And Tango
Makes Three" a story about two gay male penguins. School Officials say they will not
allow parents to opt their kids out of the program because it falls under "anti-discrimination
provisions of California law.
Here is a video of the School Board Meeting.
Gay penguins?

When you live that close to San Francisco you have to get kids prepared for their future.

Probably a bunch of Bay Area Republicans on that Board, don’t ya think?
I’m sure glad my kids are adults. This is crazy.
WHen parents cannot opt out of deviant lessons, it is time to besiege the school.
NAMBLA has been busy.
F the school then. I’d be Opting my child out regardless of what the school said.
Yep that is their tactic. I’m telling you when people see the video and the information on this kind of think they flip out. If we had a national add campaign just distilling these kind of activist events we’d see polls shift 10-15 points in our direction. The number of people supporting gay marriage has fell 6 points since 2007 in the latest Gallop. I’m going to put together a snippet to send to newspapers nationwide to help push the awareness up. One of the things that we conservatives still don’t do well enough is coordinate our efforts.
If I had children, they would, coincidentally, be out sick the days they taught that curriculum.
The bullies running the school system have a few choices: They can let the parents opt out, no matter what the school board says. They can watch the parents teach age-inappropriate but effective lessons immediately after every gay indoctrination lesson to counter the school’s propaganda. Or they can watch the parents leave in droves.
The problem is that you really don't know when they will teach that. I live in a liberal school district and my daughter was bombarded with global warming crap for weeks.
So much for the tired mantra droned by the homo-fascists that homosexuality would never be taught to school children. And now this, when homo-”marriage” is NOT legal!
If the people that voted yes are certified teachers, then that is very disturbing. What a bunch of sickos for wanting to tell innocent children about this behavior.
I'm counting on it. NOM will no doubt be disseminating this info nationwide, to show the homo-culture for what it is.
It’s an effort by the liberals to drive the conservatives out of the public school system. What they don’t seem to get is that people who don’t send their kids to public schools don’t vote for education funding either.
So they're saying that gays are just like animals? They're always using the animal kingdom to justify their actions.
What gets me is that bullying is not a “gay issue”. Most kids who get bullied are bullied by those who are older or larger than they.
If the parents are notified ahead of time.
If *oops* the notice didn’t make it out on time, too bad for them.
Yes that is true but the left will just work to pass laws to ban homeschooling.
It’s really irrelevant whether the parents can opt out.
Kindergarten children do not need this kind of education. Moral education is the parents job. The schools need to focus on making them literate and are failing miserably.
Freep-mail me to get on or off my pro-life and Catholic List:

Obama Says A Baby Is A Punishment
Obama: “If they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby.”
That's exactly what they're saying, and they wouldn't be offended that you think so. Godless evolutionists, every one.
My kids are home schooled. Even in central Virginia we have some of the GLSTN (Gay Lesbian Straight Teachers Network). They work under the radar and infiltrate schools many times without the parents knowledge.
Same sex lessons are taught at a kindergarten level, but when a 16-year old has sex with his teacher it is called rape and nipples on women’s breasts are blocked out on TV because it is too provocative for the viewers.
Someone help me out and explain the logic of it all.
Yeah, I agree. Why doesn’t Penguin Obama come forward and own up to his boyfriend if it’s such a great thing?
If the people that voted yes are certified teachers, then that is very disturbing. What a bunch of sickos for wanting to tell innocent children about this behavior.
I sure hope the parents keep their kids home and either homeschool or private school.
Or they don't have the trendiest clothes or shoes.
Or they wear glasses.
Point is, kids bully for many reasons, and for no reason at all. Anti bullying, in general, is all that is needed. When we went to school, there was a code of conduct for the school. “We do not believe in the bullying or booing of anyone” was one on the list.
Oh, OK, well that’s true, too. No matter how you look at it...it’s not good.
just google 'fistgate' or the incident in lexington, MA: link
Where is the people who should care for values? the culture?
I am so sick & tired of the whining gays & their rights issues. I wish they would go back in the closet. Little children do not need to learn about sex. But if they must teach the kiddies about gay sex then tell them the whole ugly truth. Tell them just what gay sex is & what can happen to you if you practice it. By all means, tell the kiddies how they can die from AIDS. I know my sons would have come home horrified about gays if they were taught the whole truth about them in kindergarten. They would have had nightmares.
Thanks Wagglebee.
Exactly we don’t need identity politics we just need teachers who who don’t tolerate bullying in general. Also we I believe it is inappropriate to have kids identifying themselves as gay. Modesty is a virtue that should apply to everyone.
They all appear to be well qualified. The one lady Trish, who voted no, went to Berkley. This really should not be a left or right issue. It should be a right and wrong issue. I wrote and thanked Trish and Mike for voting the way they did.
Yeah I remember environmental wackoism coming in public schools and I wasn’t even in a liberal school district. What inoculated me was my appetite for knowledge. When you have been exposed to a wide variety of information related to a topic it is much easier to filter out the crap.
We are here. Ron Prentice and Prop 8 were there. We need to a national organization to help stop this kind of thing. This battle began before Fox news and before conservatives had the resources to really fight back effectively. We have the resources now and we have a public that is getting fed up and tired with the sexual activists. I’m tired myself. It seems the battle never ends whether it be global warming, sexual activism, abortion, or socialism. The irony is that on Abortion, global warming, and sexual activism we have made more progress while actually losing ground in the area of fiscal conservatism. I have a feeling that one of the reason we here so much whining from moderates and stealth liberals is they know this which is why they repeatedly try to shame and intimidate us into giving up.
These issues as long as we stand up they can never win.
Just imagine if the playing field in the media were fair and we could run ads without the lib networks taking them down. If we could present our experts with out having them shouted down and called bigots and haters. That we have held the line so far and have continue to win battles even with a money and resource disadvantage. This drives the left crazy.
delenda est...
please tell me this is a joke.
From a committed homophobe.
If I had children, they would, coincidentally, be out sick the days they taught that curriculum.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The Marxist teachers will not inform the parents as to when this info is scheduled. The parents will learn about it only after the fact, and maybe, not even then.
“My kids are home schooled. Even in central Virginia we have some of the GLSTN (Gay Lesbian Straight Teachers Network). They work under the radar and infiltrate schools many times without the parents knowledge.”
Is their membership list available?
The problem is they are not going to tell you *when* they are teaching your kids this..
This has been the destruction of public education. Teachers who think they know better for your kids than you, and parents who go along with it. More Churches off all sizes need to start non-for profit schools!
I agree they are using the bullying issue to push their social agenda, in point of fact bullying is a serious issue but can be addressed without any specifics..
