A pamphlet set to be distributed by the California secretary of state warns voters that if they do not pass Proposition 8 in November to constitutionally define marriage between one man and one woman, thay will face an unexpected consequence: children as young as kindergarten will be subject to mandatory teaching on the virtues of homosexual marriage.

Opponents of Proposition 8 are calling the education argument a smokescreen, a scare tactic and a fabrication.

Supporters, however, are saying it addresses a reality Californians will face if voters don't stand up and insist on a constitutional, traditional definition of marriage.

Randy Thomasson, president of Campaign for Children and Families, told WND, "New California laws are pushing sex education further and further into younger grades, and school districts that provide sex education are mandated by law to teach children to honor marriage. Without Proposition 8 school children in the younger grades will definitely be taught to honor homosexual marriage between two men or two women as married role models."

Attorney Shannon Minter, who represented same-sex couples in the California Supreme Court case that struck down the state's ban on same-sex marriage, told the San Francisco Chronicle, "This is pure fabrication. They are trying to inflame people by making up these falsehoods about kids."

Promoting homosexual rights is one method among many by socialists to destroy the country and replace our Represenatative Democracy with socialism as made evident in the Communist Goals read into the 1963 Congressional record.

24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.
25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."

Its real enough. If homosexuals are a protected class, then it follows you can't say only Mom and Dad can rear a child. Saying it is enough to get you outed as a homophobe. Same sex marriage is more than just about Adam and Steve's amours in the bedroom. It protends changes in virtually everything in our society, from the way we raise our children, to how we view marriage and whether traditional religious beliefs are still valid. The Left doesn't want to discuss those issues because once voters stop to look at the big picture, they'll realize same sex marriage is more than just about civil rights for gays - that redefining the institution means redefining our entire society.

"They are trying to inflame people by making up these falsehoods about kids."

What's the falsehood, you homo-idiot? The law is referenced and you can look it up yourself. If this doesn't convince you, look at the only other state with same-sex "marriage" and see if this is the outworking of this diabolical social experiment.

As usual, a liberal defines Truth by whether he agrees with it or not.

diabolical social experiment gone bad.

Excerpted from an article on MASSACHUSETTS LAW. http://www.article8.org/docs/issues/bill_1641/content.htm Here's how H1641 (and S102) will affect children in Massachusetts: The language of House Bill H1641 (also S102) the bill is deceptively simple. It adds another requirement for graduation from Massachusetts public schools. The complete text of the bill is: Section 1D of chapter 69 of the General Laws, as appearing in the 2000 Official Edition, is hereby amended by inserting after the words "foreign language," in line 6, the words:- health education, as defined by the Massachusetts Comprehensive Health Education Framework. Section 1D of chapter 69 of the General Laws lists subject matter that must be learned at various grade levels, as standards. Among other things,it says, "The standards shall cover grades kindergarten through twelve and shall clearly set forth the skills, competencies and knowledge expected to be possessed by all students at the conclusion of individual grades or clusters of grades. . .Satisfaction of the requirements of the competency determination shall be a condition for high school graduation." The Massachusetts Comprehensive Health Curriculum Frameworks now becomes a mandatory part of K-12 teaching in Massachusetts Public Schools! This document is over 100 pages long and covers a wide range of "health" topics (including, for example, health of the environment!) and appears to be written by the usual far-left academic we-know-better-than-you crowd. Parts of it are excerpted below, but you can access the complete version from the Dept. of Education web site, in various formats: Web version Adobe Acrobat version Microsoft Word version. Here's what's in the Massachusetts Comprehensive Curriculum Frameworks: Note: References are given after each quote for the topic "strand" and section numbers where it's found in the Mass. Comprehensive Health Curriculum Frameworks (Mass. Dept. of Education, October 1999.) While you read this, you might ask yourself how this relates to "health"! By the end of grade 5: ● Students label the functions and/or systems of the reproductive system. [Physical Health: Reproduction/Sexuality, sec.4.1] Grades K-5 seems to be way too early to be doing this. (Some schools would do it in Kindergarten, others in Grade 5) Parents decide when a child is ready for these issues. ● Define sexual orientation using the correct terminology (such as heterosexual, and gay and lesbian) - Students write short answer to define the types of sexual orientation. [Physical Health: Reproduction/Sexuality, sec. 4.3, 4.4] In other words, the normalization of homosexuality starts young. We must assume this will also include the latest trends in the GLBT activist lexicon: "bisexual", "transgender", and maybe even "polyamorous". (Are we ready for cross-dressing day in the elementary grades?) Interesting that this discussion of sexual orientation falls within the "Reproduction/Sexuality" unit, when the school administrations are very busy telling parents that the Parental Notification Act does NOT apply to homosexuality issues! ● Describe different types of families, addressing membership and social influences, and the functions of family members. [Social & Emotional Health: Family Life, sec. 6.1] This is where same-sex families are equated with normal families. The "functions" of family members is about breaking down male-female roles in families. THIS is why David Parker was arrested! ( David Parker, tried to stop the school Officials from teaching this perversion to his child, when he wouldn't leave the school, the school officials had him arrested.) ● Identify whom to talk with about family problems and successes. [Social & Emotional Health: Family Life, sec. 6.3] This is about telling kids to go to people other than their parents with problems. ● Identify the various feelings most people experience and describe the physical and emotional reactions of the body to intense positive and negative feelings. [Social & Emotional Health: Mental Health, sec. 5.1] This is from the "Feelings and Emotions" unit, where students will "learn skills to promote self-acceptance." ● Describe the concepts of prejudice and discrimination. Students design posters, bulletin boards or web page components on the theme of the 3R's - Responsibilities, Rights, and Respect. [Social & Emotional Health: Interpersonal Relationships, sec. 7.4, 7.2] What examples of these concepts will be used? Will racial discrimination be equated with discrimination against "gays and lesbians"? How will "rights" and "respect" be defined?

...an unexpected consequence [of gay marriage in California]: children as young as kindergarten will be subject to mandatory teaching on the virtues of homosexual marriage. Opponents of Proposition 8 are calling the education argument a smokescreen, a scare tactic and a fabrication.

I believe opponents of Prop 8 will say anything at this point, and here's why:

Teaching Kindergarten Kids About 'Human Differences' and Homosexuality Isn't 'Easy' in Newton

The above article supports the concerns raised by those who support Prop 8. From what we've happen in Newton, Massachuesetts, those who support Prop 8 in California have every right to be concerned

The other shoe drops. School prisoners will be taught the normalcy of sodomy.

Don't say we didn't warn you. It's always been about the children.

Exactly! Some people here have been saying this from day one. Yet, we’ll always have a cadre of “libertines” here who insist that the gay agenda promotes freedom, and that all homos want is to be allowed to be left alone in the privacy of their bedrooms. What a joke!

“Hey, it doesn’t affect meeeeeeeee if two gay guys get married!”

[fwdude]

“libertines” here who insist that the gay agenda promotes freedom, and that all homos want is to be allowed to be left alone in the privacy of their bedrooms.

On the contrary, it affects heterosexual unions almost immediately. Just try to get a marriage license in CA listing you as "Bride" and "Groom" and you'll understand how radically things have changed. A society's language speaks volumes about its values.
