“When you look at the situation objectively, Pontes is really talking about the State acting as a foreign occupier, coming into the most intimate part of your family life - the religious and moral values you pass onto your children - and declaring that it has the power to override those values for 8 hours per day, 5 days a week. Deciding what moral beliefs children are raised with regarding human sexuality is the sole prerogative of parents,” he said.

That's what leftist totalitarians do.

When you ask the government to supply everything you want, you give them the power to take anything you have. That includes your children. Hope they’re worth all the free stuff.

Despite an explicit government promise ...
A promise like - "You can keep your doctor, you can keep your plan?" And people believed it? Suckers.

One day the state will take it down to the micro level, and when a couple want to hire a sitter for the evening, they’ll have to take the one sent by the govt. If the sitter is a flaming perv in a nambla shirt and a rubber suit...that’s just diversity, and only a bigot would object. Take their kids away to foster care while they attend reindoctrination camp; seize their assets too.

Or people could simply start resisting now. Heh.

The urban left would happily make that trade.

All human rights are rights, and all are equal

Except the right to decide how to raise and instruct your child. That takes a village idiot.

Character is formed by family, community, vocation, and faith. State intervention may be necessary when those are lacking. When those are present and working the state can only distort and harm character.

It is not enough to have the Peel Board reverse their decision. Have them removed. Do not send your children to the school until this is done. The problem is not with the policy but with those in authority who would enforce such a policy.

My kid wouldn’t be opting out. He would simply miss every class.

Recall who Obama had hired to be his so-called "Safe School Czar"...

Kevin Jennings has fought the kind of harassment he faced as a gay ...

(Obama's former "Safe School Czar" Kevin Jennings)

From the Washington Times...

EDITORIAL: At the president's pleasure
'Safe school czar' encouraged child sex with an older man
September 28, 2009

A teacher was told by a 15-year-old high school sophomore that he was having homosexual sex with an "older man." At the very least, statutory rape occurred. Fox News reported that the teacher violated a state law requiring that he report the abuse. That former teacher, Kevin Jennings, is President Obama's "safe school czar". It's getting hard to keep track of all of this president's problematic appointments. Clearly, the process for vetting White House employees has broken down.

In this one case in which Mr. Jennings had a real chance to protect a young boy from a sexual predator, he not only failed to do what the law required but actually encouraged the relationship.

According to Mr. Jennings' own description in a new audiotape discovered by Fox News, the 15-year-old boy met the "older man" in a "bus station bathroom" and was taken to the older man's home that night. When some details about the case became public, Mr. Jennings threatened to sue another teacher who called his failure to report the statutory rape "unethical." Mr. Jennings' defenders asserted that there was no evidence that he was aware the student had sex with the older man.

However, the new audiotape contradicts this claim. In 2000, Mr. Jennings gave a talk to the Iowa chapter of the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network, an advocacy group that promotes homosexuality in schools. On the tape, Mr. Jennings recollected that he told the student to make sure "to use a condom" when he was with the older man. That he actively encouraged the relationship is reinforced by Mr. Jennings' own description in his 1994 book, "One Teacher in 10." In that account, the teacher boasts how he allayed the student's concerns about the relationship to such a degree that the 15-year-old "left my office with a smile on his face that I would see every time I saw him on the campus for the next two years, until he graduated."

Mr. Jennings' denials about these events reveal a lack of remorse. He has not admitted that he made mistakes in this case, and he now refuses to answer any questions about the scandal. Don't forget, this is a presidential appointee we're talking about. Mr. Obama should make clear what his standards are for public servants serving at the pleasure of the president. Encouraging and covering up man-boy sexual activity are serious offenses. The White House should force Mr. Jennings to come clean.

The pathetic irony in cases like this is that a massive influx of Muslim immigrants is probably the most effective way to bring this sh!t to an end.

Jack Fonseca of Campaign Life Coalition called the move a “shocking attempt by the state to annex parental authority.”

Well, no. Parental authority was voluntarily surrendered the moment you accepted the idea that government should run your schools.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

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.

As if we needed another reason at this point.

But they're getting worse and worse.

Homoleftists. With ideas so good they’re mandatory. And they try telling us they don’t “recruit.” Coming to a preschool near you.
