It's Elementary: Gay and Lesbian Issues in the Classroom
"...It's Elementary is alarming because the reactions of people in the video--adults, youth, and especially the children--indicate that the foundation for acceptance of homosexuality as a legitimate, healthy alternative to heterosexuality has already been successfully laid down in our country. In fact, within an unknown but growing number of American schools and classrooms, both public and private, affirmation of a sexually deviant minority has been advanced to a much greater degree than most citizens realize...
This "sanitized presentation" of homosexuality, as the reviewing parents described it, obviously was intended to make it hard for the kids watching the film to discern facts from propaganda. They cited one boy's statement, describing the effect this lesson on homosexuality had had on him: "It's kind of like vegetables: you don't know [you'll like homosexuality] until you try."...
I think the parents are partly at fault here, how else could a child make such behavioral choices? If such activities weren’t allowed/encouraged at home this wouldn’t happen. Second, this school is guilty of crafting the learned behavior needed to practice perversion; I just hope the school board puts a stop to it in time. This is totally disordered.
It has started already, it's called HOME-SCHOOLING!
If it wasn't for McCarthy our Biased Left Wing Media would be based in Moscow instead of New York. Don't let the Biased Left Wing Media bash a great American Hero.
Why does she want to destroy the American Family? I hope she feels the pain of every child molested because of her actions.
From the article:
"They are getting in and out before parents even know what's going on," said Peter LaBarbera, an analyst for the Culture and Family Institute. "What they are doing to kids is manipulating them."
From It's Elementary: Gay and Lesbian Issues in the Classroom:
"What's the big whoop?" asked another child flippantly in response to tales of some parental concerns. Some children were even outspokenly critical of their own parents' negative attitudes about homosexuality.
This is not surprising when you consider: Today more than ever, homosexual activists--with perhaps only a 1-3% presence in society--are successfully "dumbing down" our ability to make accurate moral and socio-psychological discernments through their growing influence in government, business, the media, and even religion. An important part of that agenda has included the redefinition of several concepts: our understanding of what constitutes religious bigotry, family values, human rights, and even our basic conceptions of right and wrong..."
Through indoctrination, queer groups like GLSEN attempt to turn children away from their parents values. GLSEN is now teaching that "heterosexism" is equivalent to racism and that schools are "custodial settings marked by guardianship" in which they are responsible for "watching over, defending, and nurturing the young people in its charge." Some excerpts from their web site:
From Denial to Denigration: Understanding Institutionalized Heterosexism in Our Schools
"... Heterosexism, as a cognitive construct, highlights important parallels between anti-LGBT sentiment and other forms of prejudice, such as racism, anti-Semitism, and sexism, which all represent ideological systems that deny, denigrate, and stigmatize people based on their behavior, identity, relationships, or community.4 These interconnected forces, together with cultural norms around sexuality, gender and family, conspire to perpetuate heterosexist belief systems that are experienced and enforced in diverse ways across race, class, ethnicity, religion, age, and other groups. A lesbian from Yemen, for example, might feel coerced into heterosexual marriage in order to fulfill familial expectations while a Baptist from Mississippi might be forced to cut family ties in order to live openly with his partner. A Latino police officer might report that anti-LGBT "jokes" and derision keep him from moving ahead on the job while a Black, lesbian lawyer might indicate that the "glass ceiling" is her primary barrier.
While individual experiences of heterosexism may vary considerably, though, there are characteristics that underlie them all. Heterosexism and other isms limit the power and privilege available to those who fall outside mainstream notions of gender and sexuality, while conferring an abundance of advantage upon those who conform. Denials surrounding the idea of opportunities that heterosexual people enjoy at the expense of LGBT protections--including family rights, job opportunities, access to safe schools, and more--keep heterosexual privilege from being fully acknowledged, understood and diminished.5 All the while, heterosexism is sustained through a dual system of denial and denigration--communities collude to suppress the existence of LGBT people and to cast aspersions upon them when they become visible.
Perhaps the greatest challenge to dismantling heterosexism is getting people to recognize its unseen dimensions and how they have bearing upon the ways in which even the best intentioned of us operate upon the world. Most individuals don’t engage in overt forms of prejudice and certainly wouldn’t describe themselves as "colluding" to "denigrate" anyone. Yet anti-LGBT bias endures. This is because heterosexism, like racism and classism, is most insidious not as an expression of individual hatred, but as a pervasive part of societal laws, customs and institutions...
Taken together, the myriad forms of institutionalized heterosexism that saturate our society result in damagingly narrow conceptions of humanity, minimize individual accountability for bigotry, and leave little room for personal values that come into conflict with those of family, community, or society...
When it comes to the school, institutionalized heterosexism presents a special problem. The school can be characterized as a custodial setting, which, in addition to imparting academic knowledge, is marked by guardianship and given to watching over, defending, and nurturing the young people in its charge...
Furthermore and despite those who would like education to focus solely on scholastic aptitude, schools have always been places where societal values are transmitted and prejudices of all kinds routinely addressed. Where heterosexism causes uneven social and learning opportunities--and it does everywhere--it stands to reason that schools would want to squarely face the issue and level this imbalance..."
Institutionalized Heterosexism in Our Schools: A Guide to Understanding and Undoing It
"... This resource includes a discussion of the difference between homophobia and heterosexism and the ways in which heterosexism is embedded or institutionalized in our society (with a special focus on schools).
Following the discussion are student anecdotes about their experiences of institutionalized heterosexism in school and a checklist of 17 strategies for dismantling it.
Also included is a teaching/training plan that provides ideas for using this material in a classroom or workshop setting and can be easily adapted for use with both student and adult audiences."
Just another socialist who thinks family, God and country are destructive, I guess.
But it will be OK if you choose to speak their 'endorsed' words and condone their values. GRRRRR!
Nah, just their lifestyle choice. Act like a pervert, get treated like a pervert. Seems simple enough.
