Sexuality issues don't belong in schools

That strikes me as something of a major understatement, but it makes a significant point. Jennifer had lived a life that some would have called ideal, but the crisis point came when the two most important influences in her life -- her parents and her school -- clashed irrevocably. And Jennifer could not cope.

How can we expect our children to grow up healthy, with sound minds and hearts, when the schools we have taught them to respect and obey have taken it upon themselves to teach them values that contradict our own core beliefs on issues of right and wrong?

I know Ilana personally and she is actually more of a libertarian. Yet, what is happening in the schools in Mass. is getting to her as well. (And she is not a Christian.)

Bear with me for one more point:

I know what happened at the Brookline conference. (see http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/1405899/posts) At one session ELEMENTARY school teachers told how they start introducing concepts to kids without using the word "gay". Methods include:

1. building family trees where each kid gets a branch to show the diversity of families 2. lessons against stereotyping 3. using real world events (such as apparently happened in Indiana) to teach kids without parental permissions but communicating to parents what they are doing.

The first two I KNOW my kids did in school. I was a bit concerned then. But now I know it is part of the agenda and I am REAL concerned.

I won't say more. But it is true.

I don't have a ping list as such. But based on previous discussions, I thought you might be interested. (Then again, maybe this will be the start on a list.)

If not, I am sorry for bothering.

[cgbg]

I am a libertarian as well and I am totally and absolutely opposed to the Gay Agenda.

What the writer neglected to mention was that if the kid's values are sabotaged they will be unable to say "no" when approached by pedophiles.

I fear some unsavory teachers have a vested interest here. :-(

By the way, an excellent blog on the topic for Mass. matters:

Can parents still opt-out their children from sex-ed or is that considered a hate-crime now. My daughter is only four, but this stuff scares the bejesus out of me!

[TBP]

This is part of the deliberate destruction of our civil society by liberals.

Finally, a VOICE OF REASON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They are the ones in Massachusetts that pushed for parental notification and opt-out laws...the same ones that Dave Parker was invoking in Lexington.

Thanks for the ping.

Lexington clergy speak to hate in town

A contrary view from the scene of the battle. Not worth a separate thread but thought some might be interested.

Can parents still opt-out their children

Most still can. But read the David Parker story (and watch it on O'Reilly) for an example of how some parents cannot opt out their children.

"Yet, what is happening in the schools in Mass. is getting to her as well. (And she is not a Christian.) "

This isn't even a Christian issue, necessarily. It's a common-sense, common-decency, leave-the-kiddies-alone! issue.

I honestly don't give a raccoon's tush what people do in private. Just leave kids alone!

[Millee]

Holy buckets!! This really ticks me off. I honestly believe liberals hate children.

[worldclass]

I totally agree with you. But some people try to paint it as a "Christian right problem". It isn't.

[worldclass]

"I honestly believe liberals hate children"

They don't hate kids. They just hate normal parents. Society and sodomites should raise kids in their worldview...or as someone said "It takes a Village"

A 16 year old becoming sulky and rude at home? Stopping favorite activities?

That sounds like regular adolescence without the tin-foil hat OMG TEH GAAAYS!!!!!one111. I know a lot of kids who went bad in High School WITHOUT homosexuality being an influence. Mental disorders tend to crop up about then, peer pressure, school pressure, the desire to challenge authority, the wreck of hormones, and so on. We all know stories. Why should this be any different?

And who isn't to say that the girl wasn't gay to start with, but that finding a group of people to be "gay with," to paraphrase Chris Rock, let her do that? Causal relationships cannot be implied, or else we'd have to ban white bread because so many rapists eat it.

[Millee]

I don't know. I think it takes someone so filled with hate to deprive a child of the joy and carefreeness that childhood ideally offers. I phrased this awkwardly, but hopefully I'm getting my point across.

[hershey]

How right you are. Kids in extremely pricey prep schools have been victimized by homosexual classmates, and the admin. ordered the victims to shut up, saying that the others had rights. Furthermore, the victim in question was shunned and then finally dropped out. He sued the school about three years ago. Doubtless he won big.

[worldclass]

"Why should this be any different? "

I actually heard the story first hand a few months ago. The writer know the family. The kid was OK until the schools started messing with her mind.

But you raise an interesting point. Many adolescents do have these problems. My view is the schools compound the problems and lead kids the wrong way. They do not help.

[worldclass]

Don't worry...your point is clear and I FULLY understand where you are coming from.

For me it is simply a redirect....kids are to be used for their own political and social purposes. But kids don't really know or understand what is happening. To really be effective, they must destroy the family. That is not an original idea. Lenin had it long ago.
