"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."
Parent activists seeking to advance a family-friendly, gender-complimentary vision for their community schools will find useful publications to equip them in this mission at www.abidingtruth.com.
This website offers "Opt Out" forms for parents who do not want their children to attend sexually explicit workshops promoting homosexuality and alternative lifestyles. The website also offers a comprehensive "Take Back the Schools" Handbook, which informs parents about gay-affirming programs in the schools and describes how to counter them with a pro-active, gender-complementary perspective based in a natural-law understanding of human sexuality.
