Outrageous.

fyi

[Diogenesis]

The Boston Globe is OWNED by the New York Times
and together they want children to debate their gay dictatorship
but want to DENY adults voting on the issue.

NOTA BENE: This weekend, the New York Times finally revealed that its redefinition of marriage
[designed, engineered, and foistered by
the New York Times' Anthony Lewis-Marshall bedded into the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts]
was based upon ....(drumrolls) two gay Central Park Zoo penguins and their ecstatic behavior
which reportedly excited many in the New York Times.

Same-Sex Marriage Debate Moves Into Schools

Just what the kids need! Bring a tape of the Super Bowl half time show for added flavor.

[thesummerwind]

The lesson plans range from discussing the "historical parallels" of same-sex marriage

Don't even compare this to the (black) civil rights movement.

What's next, btw, marriage between a father and a daughter, three men and three women, a girl and her Great Dane?

Public Education: Johny is PC but it doesn't matter, because Johny can't read.

Now I know where Claire Dane came from../snicker

I can't believe they even make the curriculum available by web sight or any other way. If my schools here in Illinois were to attempt something this disgusting, there would be hell to pay. I know of no parents here that would tolerate anything like this. These people should be ashamed of themselves. But of course they aren't, look at the lifestyle they are leading!

[Puppage]

public schools across the country are being encouraged to debate the issue in their classrooms.

Debate, my eye. It's the indoctrination of a captive audience. Does anyone really think that a point of view that differs from the teachers will actually be heard? Geez, just the idea of a conservative club sends them into panic & attack mode.

[ladylib]

How about schools just imparting academic knowledge and leaving social indoctrination out of the curriculum?

This is going to be big in MA public schools. Parents who don't like it will probably have to remove their children.

Camenker said his child's school in Newton, Mass., staged a mandatory assembly as part of a homosexual awareness day three weeks after the Supreme Judicial Court's Nov. 18 ruling. But as a parent, he said he knew nothing about it.

Reason #297,845 to homeschool your children!

Catholic Ping - let me know if you want on/off this list

[NYer]

Teachers now have an easily accessible "curriculum guide" at their disposal. The six-point lesson plan is the work of the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network, which advocates an end to what it considers an anti-homosexual bias in schools.

Ping!!!

Newton, MA is on the cutting edge of cultural insanity. If you want to know what PC pedagogy is headed your way in the next 5 or 6 years, just take a look at Newton. I know, I used to live in the town next door.

This is a quote from the link in the article:

The FISTGATE Report

"A lesson in fisting?" There was a five minute pause so that all of the teenagers could write down questions for the homosexual presenters. The first question was read by Julie Netherland, "What’s fisting?" A student answered this question by informing the class that "fisting" is when you put your "whole hand into the a#@ or p@$#%" of another. When a few of the students winced, the Department of Public Health employee offered, "A little known fact about fisting: you don’t make a fist like this. It’s like this." He formed his hand into the shape of a tear drop rather than a balled fist. He informed the children that it was much easier.

This passes as "education" for children.

I have heard some say the sodomites should be put back in the closet and the door nailed shut.

Here ... let me help you!!!

Just wonder how many kids got together after school to practice what they learned.

[johnb2004]

Can you imagine such garbage?????

[fml]

"Every one of our students needs to know that no matter what their family looks like, and no matter what kind of home they come from, they are no less worthy of inclusion in what we mean by family," Lewis said. "At the end of the day, we need to do what we know is right. And what is right is making sure that every one of our students feels valued and respected."

Sheer stupidity. To be treated fairly and worthy has little or nothing to do with condoning the poor choices their parents have made.

It is important that parents counter such bolony with the simple teachings of manners, plus the added guidance that getting a good grade means learning the material although sometimes what they teach is pure and utter garbage. Learn it for a passing grade, but know it is wrong.

Please don't come at me with home-schooling yadda-yadda, I know some believe in it but it is certainly not a path I would ever choose.

I would like to take this time to apologize to Anita Bryant. You were right.
