Fight now before it is too late to fight.

The National Education Association (NEA) and the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) are teaming up this year to violate the free speech and religious freedom rights of millions of school children. They´re not honest enough to clearly state this as their goal, but it is their objective.
These two groups are engaged in a campaign to establish "anti-harassment" and "anti-discrimination" policies on school campuses that will prohibit students from engaging in honest discussions about the behavior of homosexuality.
Those students who wish to express medically-based or morally-based opposition to homosexuality as a lifestyle will be punished if they dare speak out. The NEA is encouraging pro-homosexual students and teachers to become the equivalent of Nazi Brown Shirts on campus. These Brown Shirts will report any student who dares to exercise his freedom of speech or religious beliefs guaranteed under our U.S. Constitution. One can assume that these students will be herded into "retraining" programs to force them to change their attitudes toward homosexual behavior.
Homosexuals and their NEA allies have created a new "hate crime" on campuses. It´s called the "hate-motivated incident." This may involve something as simple as a student expressing his disapproval of sodomy or verbalizing the truth that homosexual sex frequently leads to HIV infection and death.
GLSEN is sponsoring a "Day of Silence," on April 10 on campuses where it has established homosexual recruitment programs known as Gay Straight Alliance (GSA) clubs. The "Day of Silence" is supposed to dramatize the fear and persecution that homosexual students allegedly experience at the hands of "heterosexism" and the mythical mental illness called "homophobia." (Homophobia is a term created by homosexual activists to stigmatize any person who opposes the normalization of sodomy in our culture.)
The primary goal of this "Day of Silence" is to force school officials to institute draconian anti-free speech policies that will prohibit any rational discussion of homosexuality as a self-destructive sexual behavior. The truth is that this behavior inevitably results in high rates of anal cancer, HIV infections, and devastating bowel diseases from anal intercourse. Yet GLSEN and the NEA would forbid students or teachers from discussing these serious health risks.
Before school officials rush headlong into supporting these anti-religion and anti-free speech policies, they would do well to consider a federal appeals court ruling on this issue in February, 2001. In "Saxe vs. State College Area School District," a panel of judges ruled that a local high school´s anti-harassment policy was unconstitutional.
The lawsuit was brought by Pennsylvania State University Professor David Warren Saxe on behalf of two Christian students. These students maintained that the school´s anti-free speech policy benefiting homosexuals was violating their right to freedom of religion and speech. They won. The court noted that the Constitution does not protect people from being offended by the opinions of others. That´s what freedom of speech is all about.
In January, 2002 a federal judge ruled in favor of a Minnesota high school student who wore a "Straight Pride" sweatshirt to school. He wore it to protest the school´s pro-homosexual policies. The student was told he couldn´t wear the shirt because it "offended" homosexuals on campus. He sued the school and won the case. The judge ruled that this student had the constitutional right to express his beliefs.
Unless schools officials are looking forward to facing costly lawsuits—which they will lose—they would be wise to ignore the anti-free speech rants of both the NEA and GLSEN.
In addition, school officials would be wise to learn why the Broward County School Board in Florida voted against a GLSEN partnership in October, 2001. School officials were angered when they discovered the contents of a GLSEN workbook designed to teach 11- to 13-year-old children a series of 16 filthy words dealing with homosexuality. The Broward School Board chairman was so offended by these words that he refused to allow them to be read at the meeting. Yet this is what GLSEN wants to teach our children.
It is ironic that GLSEN is willing to stifle the freedom of speech of those who oppose homosexuality, yet is eager to teach young teenagers words so obscene that a School Board member wouldn´t say them out loud. Something is very wrong with this picture.
Well, they are inadvertantly half right here. There should be no school sponsored discussions of any sexual behaviors. But I doubt that is what they are aiming at.
Well, DUH! But you won't hear Liberals explaining it that way. To hear them tell it, if you suggest that SAD should remain a secret behind closed doors, or treated, then you are de-facto giving the thugs who beat Matthew Shepherd permission to do so.
I'm not sure which is a worse mental disorder, SAD (Same-sex Attraction Disorder) or LTD (Liberal Thinking Disorder).
Shalom.
I have just 16 words to say to that School Board chairman. I won't say them here.
It's sort of like the WB executives that got bent out of shape when Charlton Heston read the full lyrics from several Ice-T (Body Count) songs for stockholders.
These people defend the indefensible when they try to hold that proper decorum does not permit the materials to be presented in a rational discussion among adults and yet the target audience for the materials is juvenilles.

The NEA should stick to teaching the three R's, if they can remember what they stand for.
The Broward School Board chairman was so offended by these words that he refused to allow them to be read at the meeting. Yet this is what GLSEN wants to teach our children.

My big question is why are these Chairman and School Board members unwilling to allow/repeat words in material they are approving for students? Something is seriously wrong here.
This reminds me of the hypocrisy shown by the pro-infanticide crowd that shudders at the pictoral display of abortions.
Speaking of hypocrisy, did you hear the news story about the judge who is forcing the woman who believes in faith healing only to answer questions about being no longer pregnant. He has already put her in jail once when she was 8 mos pregnant so he could ensure that a doctor would be around when she delivered. Now she has been pregnant, and has told the judge she miscarried and it's none of his business.
On the news report I heard this morning a legal professor was saying something like, "Even though I'm very pro Roe v Wade I think she's carrying her right to privacy too far." Other people were talking about her "body count."
Can you believe it?
If I can find a write-up you can bet it will be posted.
Shalom.

for the CFR fraud being cheerled by the Media as "the next Good Thing We All Must Go Along With & Do"-- but I'm wondering if it should include all attempts to stifle free speech.
What the "H," I will index it anyway.
CFR is poison, but so are other attempts, like this, to silence people.
"...If this presents a realistic look into the life of a child struggling with same sex desires then these children are seduced/molested at an alarmingly high rate and engage in dangerous/abusive sexual activity at a very young age. What's worse is that the adults who purport to care most about them (the editor of this book for example) present this sexual abuse as if they were tender "coming of age" stories. As if the children struggling with same sex desires are showing how healthy they are by engaging in sex with adults and by having sexual encounters regularly beginning at a very young age.
And, the message is clear, if "straight" kids don't want to be closed-minded, if they want to be "open" and "free" they'll mimic the homosexual sexual behavior and promiscuity related in these books.
In several stories intense sexual activity as a child is presented as normal and healthy, even child/adult sex is presented without question. Five and six year old's who regularly engaged in sex are described as children "who were willing" to explore their sexuality "to it's fullest extent." Many stories fondly recount a youthful sexual encounter with a much older man or woman. Sexual promiscuity and engaging in sex as a child/teenager is presented as "sexual freedom".
Heterosexual or "questioning" youth are encouraged to try same sex intercourse because, the Kinseyin theory is repeated over and over, "Everyone's really gay or bisexual." and "You won't know if you like it until you try it."..."
(You'll find the book mentioned on GLSEN's recommended reading list - Young, Gay and Proud! - here and other GLSEN recommended reading lists here).
How GLSEN Encourages Student Experimentation With Homosexuality - GLSEN Manual
"GLSEN's manual "Tackling Gay Issues In School" outlines classroom lessons and staff development activities. Amazingly, many of these lessons assume that students even in middle school could be "fluid" in their sexual feelings and behavior.
So, why does GLSEN claim publicly that kids aren't influenced by pro-homosexual school activities and material?..."
The GLSEN 'Fistgate' conference
Listen to Mass. Depts of Education and Health instruct children on the mechanics of homosexuality.
"On March 25, 2000 the Massachusetts Departments of Education and Health teamed up with the national gay and lesbian group GLSEN (Gay, Lesbian, Straight Education Network) and conducted a conference for school children and educators. The conference was held under the guise of tolerance and safe schools. However, as the Parent's Rights Coalition discovered, this conference was about teaching children the unsafe mechanics of homosexuality. Following the conference, organizers denied claims of misconduct made by the Parent's Rights Coalition. Organizers were forced to concede the truth after the Parent's Rights Coalition made public an audio recording from the conference, which substantiated their claims..."
See the thread Assemblyman MOUNTJOY opposes promotion of homosexuality in public schools for additional information.
Bump!!
(see reply #20 above)
I think homosexuals need to put away somewhere unless they change their ways and repent
Sounds like these school officials had their brains on! The kids probably already knew the words, anyway.
Go for it. This is outrageous.
I don't know why they can't be charged criminally. If you or I showed other people's children the homosexual literature the NEA pushes on kids, I have no doubt the cops would be there in no time.
Any attornies on the forum????
My response to her is simple....look bi*ch, public schools exist because they are funded by our tax dollars and therefore MUST be accountable to the people footing the bill. Contrary to her assertion, public schools don't belong to the liberal/homosexual/intolerant of our society.
I am heartened to see people taking legal action against perverse behavior that is condoned in public schools but would be considered contributing to the delinquency of a minor if it was done in a religion class, for example.
Perverted freaks do not have permission to expose to or indoctrinate children in their abhorrent, disgusting, amoral, animalistic lifestyle.
I doubt that my grandchild will ever set foot inside a public school until college, but I suggest the following plan of attack that I have broached with my daughter and her husband.
I will retain an attorney to draft a document stating clearly and comprehensively that any topics, presentations, outside speakers, forums, seminars etc. to which their child is to be subjected must be authorized by the parents of this minor child prior to involving this child in any of the above activities. The presentation of this notarized document will be preceeded by a complete examination of the curriculum planned for the year as well as the texts to be used. The document will conclude with a warning that legal action will be taken immediately against the staff, administration and all others involved should the prior review mandated by this document be violated. Notarized copies will be sent to the school board, principal, teachers' union president and state department of public instruction.
I will also encourage all other concerned parents to take similar steps and use this legal document as a template to recover control of our out-of-control public school system.

(holy cow....I DID it!!!)
As they once described a member of the World Wrestling Federation many years ago, you are the "total package".
=)
Now....can someone direct me to a good picture of a pig? You read that one right...I need a picture of a pig that I can use periodically. For those "special" occasions when one would "need" a piggy.
That is, after you go to the site I just pinged you to. You may have to go back a page or two so you can find out WHEN they actually came and took me to the hospital.....(everyone else, don't worry. I didn't really go. Shhhhh....it's a secret though)
As luck would have it, I live in the country on top of a bluff and could do what you suggest without attracting the attention of anyone except for a few deer and wild turkey (those who haven't been killed by snowmobile exhaust, that is).
