"we have to unlearn to hate"

There's something strangely Newspeak-ish about the word "unlearn." Anyone else see that?

[DBeers]

That being said, the version of the video and teachers' guide which has actually been distributed has been as sanitized as their website.

Oh -really? LOL Not from what I saw just a day ago... How about telling me just who produced the 'teacher's guide' that you have seen?

[sgtbono2002]

Yep its a cartoon, and Grand Theft Auto is a video game.

[gidget7]

Do you all realize, that they are flaunting the fact that they are doing this, in our faces?? They can't wait to get the news out there that the video is on it's way to schools. In that news, they HAVE to throw in, that it's the video "conservatives charge is part of an effort to encourage acceptance of homosexuality " They are blatantly saying, "nothing you can do, we are going to do it and you can't do anything about it!" People are not BORN LITTLE HATERS? If that isn't a slam against our good moral character, I don't know what is.

They almost come off as a Dare!

[gidget7]

Amazing isn't it?? Or just plain ignorant, dangerously so for our children's sake, that so many can be so blissfully satisfied by propaganda, without reading for themselves, and looking at the facts!

[gidget7]

As we can see, the "there is no elephant in my living room, regardless of the piles of elephant crap all over", crowd is here.

[gidget7]

Yes it most certainly is, and the above article even states that it is.

[Coleus]

Another reason why children need Catholic and parochial/religious Schools.

Whatever happened to Reading, writing, math, civics, geography, science and history? It's no wonder why 3rd-World countries are ranked higher than us in test scores.

I stand corrected, learn something new everyday. Guess thats why I hang out here.

I did go to the site and to the cache documents the site had removed after they were exposed.
Here are some of the ideas in the teaching materials:

• Suggestions on how to persuade school librarians to highlight books that are "representative of all sexual orientations."

• Methods to initiate classroom discussion of "homophobia" and "compulsory heterosexism."

• Instructions on teaching students to construct a "Pyramid of Hate," a diagram illustrating "acts of genocide" that have been committed against individuals due to (among other things) their sexual orientation.

• A section on "appreciating diversity" that encourages kids to consider what might interest them in "other sexual orientations."

Now tell us again how this is not an attempt to force acceptance of queerness and to encourage homosexual behavior in children.

[DBeers]

Did some further searching on the ADL website and it appears the ADL now has a cleaned up version of a teachers guide. Considering they still have all the prior materials this would suggest that pressure from those that oppose the homosexual indoctrination of children may have worked, at least temporarily.

I still won't believe it until I see proof that the 'new' guide is the one that actually accompanies the DVD (producing 60,000 guides so quickly is possible; however, IF they had done this why not show the new guide to detractors like Dobson to end the debate?)...

Here is a link to todays ADL press release:

'We Are Family' Children's Music Video Released to Elementary Schools Nationwide

Here is a link to the supposed accompanying teacher's guide:

Teacher's Guide (PDF 12pp)

But that group is getting smaller all the time. At first, you had to wade through 400 posts before you saw a word about the teaching material. It's no wonder so many people didn't know.

That "victims of intolerance" part sounds kind of fishy.

[gidget7]

Yes I know. Not all of have it on our PC's. But our dependable ping list freepers came through, they always do!!!

[Calpernia]

Does anyone still have the ORIGINAL guide?

[BykrBayb]

[Calpernia]

Is the original PDF download there? Where? I see the html content.

[BykrBayb]

I didn't notice it was html. I think I still have the pdf files, but I don't have them posted online. Let me look and see if I can find the pdf files online.
