Monday's meeting of the Capistrano Unified School District A school board should offer more fireworks than usual. At the meeting, Stan Wasbin, a father of four, plans to voice his complaint that local schools are becoming "re-education camps" because of an excessive focus on gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender issues, reports the San Juan Capistrano Patch. Wasbin, a resident of the seaside suburb of San Clemente, asked in a three-page letter that his concerns about the supposedly agenda-driven politicization of the school curriculum be placed on the official board agenda.
Both the curriculum and Wasbin's missive come in response to a new California law obligating social science classes to include the historical role played by gay, lesbian, bisexuals and transgender people. “In our public schools, we want our children to learn math, music, science, English, art, American history and a foreign language ..suggested that the politicization of public school curricula could ultimately lead to consequences that would be undesirable for LBGT leaders. “Today, the state political winds blow from the left; but tomorrow, they could blow from the right, and then our children may be forced to learn about the role and contributions of other groups, such as gun owners, death-penalty proponents and anti-abortion advocates. Do we really want to politicize public education ...Wasbin said, according to Patch. In addition, Wasbin wants school district officials to provide details about how schools will implement the new law. His solution, according to his letter, is to introduce a voluntary course of LGBT study that could take place before or after school. California's Capistrano Unified School District enrolls more than 51,000 students. It's the second largest school district in Orange County, the 12th largest in California and the 82nd largest in the United States.

This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
I have NO idea why ALL PARENTS are not up in arms as to what goes on in schools today!! It’s SICKENING.
We already learn about the contributions of gays and lesbians, including the ones you mention. But just as in learning about sexually normative people, We don’t include learning about their private sexual lives. Is it really important to a young child that George Washington never fathered a child, that Benjamin Franklin had venereal disease, Willa Cather dressed like a man and lived with women, Hans Christian Andersen died a virgin, , or that LBJ had an illegitimate son?

Yep!
But, the "progressives" have a vested interest in making sure our children are as complacent as possible as they implement their Worker's Utopia.
The best way to do it is to instruct them in the government schools. They have been very successful at not only dumbing down entire generations, but also making it easy for every form of perversity to appear normal.
They also have educated many sociopaths in school, more than happens normally to society. These people, when properly triggered, go on to commit heinous atrocities, leaving themselves and the general public puzzled as to why a New Town or Aurora has happened.
Ask Bill Ayers and all his pals about how they have implemented their plan to create the perfect American-Marxist society, one child at a time.
Did you notice this was in California?
They will listen politely to this father and ignore him after they assure him the GLBT agenda will not be taught.
If he wants his children not to learn this stuff he only has one option, take his children out of public education.
Where are all the “good” teachers every seems to know?
Answer: There are almost none!
The only good government teachers are those who are warning every parent they meet (in school and out) to get their children **out** of the government school cesspools immediately, and , personally, they are as rare a unicorns. I personally have never met one. Of any of these “good” teachers exist they are “called” by God to their calling. The rest are merely giving excuses in God’s name.
Yep, my kids Catholic school is full of public school teacher parents.
Good, I’m glad to see/hear/read that parents are standing up against this type of curriculum. Maybe if more would speak out, or had spoken out in the past, as a country we wouldn’t be so far down the path of Sodom and Gomorrah.
Amen sister testify. When parents get involved things happen.
Excellent point. BTW, I never heard any of those facts you just presented either. As you pointed out, that type of information is not necessary in a school lesson.
One day a parent will snap and return to the school with a little black rifle. Maybe they will consider changing their views in the aftermath.
I think that California should spend millions of taxpayer dollars to retool the educational curriculum so as to highlight the historical contributions of men who are attracted to large-breasted redheads. Anything less is discriminatory, hateful and unconstitutional. Right?
Many, if not MOST, parents either agree with the smut that is pushed by school administrations, or they are lobotomized by pop-culture entertainment.
The Yahoo comments rarely if EVER are in agreement with the "News Article"....And they are overwhelmingly starboard in their content/rebut's.
They will just ban black rifles......
THAT’Swhy we are in decline....PARENTS ARE IDIOTS!!
LOL....You must work for the gubmint.
