NJ-anti-bullying bill up for Governor Christie's signature-will he sign it into law
Life and liberty ^ | 1/4/2011 | Life, liberty

Please, we need your help... you know where this is headed:

Please take a couple of moments for 1.38 million schoolchildren What could be wrong with a tough new law targeting gay-bullying in our schools that is now sitting on Governor Christie's desk?

After all, the activist Gay and Lesbian groups that spent over a year writing the language of the bill are publicly describing it as the "most sweeping anti-bullying legislation in America".

Isn't it a good thing that New Jersey will become the national leader in the fight against gay bullying?

Isn't it good that New Jersey will be bringing law-enforcement into our children's classrooms in ways that no other State has ever done before?

Gay and Lesbian groups are right when they say that it's about time that New Jersey takes a tough line against bullying.

But this law, which requires mandatory teaching of a "week of respect" and mandatory year-round classroom teaching, stands, per the New York Times, to be used by Gay and Lesbian groups to indoctrinate school children of the "need" for gay marriage*.

Gay and Lesbian groups have publicly admitted that one reason the law is the most sweeping of its kind in America is because it "applies to schools from kindergarten" and up. If Gay and Lesbian groups get their way, outrageously, gay marriage will be taught to New Jersey's pre-schoolers.

If the governor simply accepts the left's premise and refuses to sign he'll be flayed.

However, if he clearly states the reasons why he's refusing to sign - actually defends his decision, he'll be fine.

Most people are not leftwing kooks & perverts and will completely understand.

All our side has to do is show up to win. Why we seldom do is a mystery.

I like this new law. I think it should be done at the federal level. What the hell, the federal government has been bullying me out of money for years.

I’m all in favor of a gay bullying law. Gays have bullied all of us heteros for far too long, and it’s time it stopped. That is what the law addresses, right? Something that’s really needed, and not a feel good measure?

Yes... this is serious stuff folks. So teasing of Christians is OK, but of Gays it is horrible. There is no epidemic... we went through this in Evesham 3 years ago and it turns out that there are .0000001% of crimes are against gays. Race and religion are 5x more likely the cause of arguments, teasing, etc.

Please sign the petition! Pass it on because it will soon come to a state near you....

The issue I have with it is why gay bullying? Why not all bullying?

That's the nature of people here in NJ.

Reminds me of C.S. Lewis:

"Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

“requires mandatory teaching of a “week of respect” and mandatory year-round classroom teaching, stands, per the New York Times, to be used by Gay and Lesbian groups to indoctrinate school children of the “need” for gay marriage*.”

This is about using one issue as a trojan horse to advance another one. Bullying has nothing to do with being gay, its a part of growing up and is nothing new. This will NOT solve bullying, but of course that’s not the goal. Pushing pro-homosexual mandatory sensitivity on kids is the goal.
Capture the youth, and they capture the future, that’s their goal.

Conservatives need to realize what’s going on and see the hidden agendas for what they are.

Nevertheless, we dont even need to fight the culture war head-on. The real tragedy here is how the PC culture robs schools of real accountability and focus on academics. The state has no business mandating *ANY* of this.

Christie needs to veto this bill, it’s bad news.

Right. Because the surest way to stop the indoctrination of the vast majority of future voters is to cower in your home with our children.

The culture war must be fought (and won) in the public schools. Anything else is a plan for defeat. Your kids may turn out "fine" after being raised in a cultural bubble, but they will be massacred a the ballot box by the other 80% of the population who were indoctrinated free of conservative voices.

Stand and Fight.

No...you DON’T cower in your home with your children. But to insure the best education for them without indoctrination,homeschooling or private schooling is best.Don’t castigate people who choose to teach their children what they need to know in an environment conducive to learning and not a pit of social unrest and apathy. Ensure your kids learn what this country was founded on,then teach them to get out there and fight to keep it!
