Father arrested over objections to homosexual curriculum in son’s kindergarten class.
Article 8 Alliance ^ | 4/27/2005

Posted on 04/28/2005 6:14:43 AM PDT by worldclass

LEXINGTON, MASSACHUSETTS, APRIL 27. Lexington parent, David Parker, was arrested today by the Lexington Police for “trespassing” at his son’s elementary school during a scheduled meeting with the principal and the city’s Director of Education over his objections to homosexual curriculum materials and discussions in his son’s kindergarten class.

At the meeting, Parker demanded that the school inform him when homosexual subjects are to be discussed with his son, and allow his son not to be included in such activities. He said he would not leave until his request was granted. The Principal and the city’s Director of Education both refused his request. They then telephoned the Superintendent of Schools who also refused. Police were called, who told Parker that unless he left the school he would be arrested.

Statement by David Parker(April 27, 2005):

“I, David Parker, am the father of a kindergarten student at Estabrook Elementary School in Lexington, Massachusetts. Since the beginning of this school year, my wife and I have learned that school materials and discussions about gay-headed households/same-sex union issues have been exposed to the children. There are definitive plans to increase the teacher/staff/adult mediated discussions of these subjects.

“We have officially stated on many occasions—to the Lexington school administration—a request that we be notified when these discussions are planned, and want our 6-year-old opted out of such situations when arising “spontaneously”.

“Our parental requests for our own child were flat-out denied with no effort at accommodation. In our meeting on April 27, I, insisted that such accommodation be made and refused to leave the meeting room. I was informed that I would be arrested.”

Parker will be arraigned on Thursday, April 28, in Concord District Court at 9 am. “This is an unbelievable outrage,” said Brian Camenker, a friend and Newton, Mass. parent. “It’s where last year’s same-sex ‘marriage’ ruling has brought us.”

One day soon we'll put all these rotten bastards who support this crap in jail, and I don't care who it is that goes to the slammer.

Since we're now in rant and rave mode ...

MISTER Parker is not some sort of androgynous parent. He's a father. The forces of political correctness seem to be allergic to the word "father"

Odessa isn't Dallas or Houston. It's a lot closer to a New Mexico town than to a Texas town. It's an icky, ugly, sandstormy town, much like Lubbock except smaller.

Plus, it has HUGE spiders all over it. (My grandparents lived in Odessa, and they had spiders on their porch the size of saucers.)

So far this year I went rounds with my son's teacher over a homo agenda book called the Misfits, which is being taught under the guise of "bullying".

Now another teacher is telling the kids that Communism is an acceptable form of government and then counters every objection rasied by the students themselves with nonsense.

My son won't let me confront the teacher because he only has to put up with the guy for another couple of weeks and doesn't want the grief.

I'm on your side about that. Come September 18, I will be able to refer to my fiance as my husband, not my "spouse" or "life partner."

Should we be blessed with ankle-biters, he will be the father and I will be the mother. (At least, that's what we discussed.)

Yep. In Massachusetts there is nothing you can do. It's legal. Well, maybe you can homeschool. How are the home school laws in Massachusetts?

Parents better wake up. This kind of teaching is happening everywhere. Now, maybe other places you can "opt out" (if you trust these chil-corrupters to adhere to your request), but that's only if they tell you. There is always the "spontaneous" excuse that will get them off the hook if caught. Flee! That's the best option.

The behavior from the management group...is strictly Puritan in nature...what you'd see in the 1600's. The entire community was forced to accept what the "elders" felt was the true direction of the community. If the members of the community didn't agree...they basically had to pack up and move out of the region in a hurry. Most ended up in Rhode Island. The Puritans considered Rhode Island to be the pure haven of sinful treaders. Nothing much has changed in 400 years.

Didn't Anita Bryant get herself blacklisted with her warning to America on the gay agenda? Wasn't her quote, "Those who can't procreate must indoctrinate."?

Then it would be correct to say that the children have been exposed to the materials, as I said before.

All of us have been forced to read sloppy writing for so long that we "fill in the blanks" when something doesn't make sense, which is what you did. Most people do it automatically, although I bet there was a split-second in which your brain said, "Huh?" and then figured it out.

I've seen it happen to my fiance, and he doesn't realize he's doing the writer's (or speaker's) work until I point out that he had to make some leaps of logic to get the point.

It is always the communicator's job to get his point across. If we have to stop and think, "Now did he mean what he said, or did he mean something different?", that communication has failed.

If I make you think about why I said what I said, instead of what I said, my communication failed.

We are told that homosexuals are a mere one percent of the population.....right? A teenie weenie picked on and abused portion of the population as a whole.......right? Every human past puberty, remembers that prior to six years of age and later for some,(except maybe for some who may have been sexually abused by perverted older folks) the only sexual feelings you ever experienced was during dry dreams. (wet dreams didn't come until later.)

I said all the above to lay a foundation for saying this: Considering the absolute fact that sexuality occupies for the most part,only a smidgen of the psyche of pre-puberty children-why are these innocents being force fed a detailed pornoesque description of the sexual activity of a mentaly ill and perverted one percent of the population, before they have even been introduced to the sexuality of the normal ninty nine percent of the world?

The answer is obvious, the perverts are indoctrinating our normal children into their sick and repulsive life style, before puberty directs their desires naturally toward members of the opposite sex.

My main question is: If perverts are one percent of our population, from whence comes their wealth power that enables them to screw over the other ninty nine percent of us and kidnap our children,that we created through normal sex acts and convince them that perversion is cool?

I had my sunglasses on so I didn't even notice the sarcasm lamp - my bad!

So I will hereby retract my shenanigans call, since it is indeed a very serious accusation, and one from which it is very hard to recover your good name once falsely accused.

You just can't imagine how tough it is. I live in the belly of the pinko commie beast. Every representative in every branch of government in my district from city precinct level to the U.S Senate is a piece of trash. kerry and teddy in the Senate. barney the top sodomite in the house. Romney the rino. mark montigney who favorite thing is the cigarette tax and a confirmed bachelor in the mass senate. f.d cabral an "ex-educator" who is a bigger lib than barney in the mass house. Even my ex city councilor George Rogers is an covicted felon and pedofile school teacher who was caught showing gay porn to a student who was doing carpentry work at his house. This place is nuts!
