One more reason for school choice..

[Maelstorm]

One more reason for a constitutional amendment defining obscenity as any sexual expression or behavior that falls outside a heterosexual monogamous relationship. I think what should be pushed is a state by state effort to ban homosexual/sexual indoctrination in schools.

This is too appalling for words!

Is there a legal challenge to this in Maryland?

It must bend to the State's duty to educate its citizens."

Apparently the people have failed in their duty to educate the state. We need to correct that.

[Cicero]

For a Catholic view--which is closely matched by traditional Protestant views:

Pope John Paul II in the cited Exhortation on the role of the family make this abundantly clear when he states in paragraph #36: "The right and duty of parents to give education is essential, since it is connected with the transmission of human life; it is original and primary with regard to the educational role of others, on account of the uniqueness of the loving relationship between parents and children; it is irreplaceable and inalienable, and therefore incapable of being entirely delegated to others or usurpedby others."

The parental right to bring up their own children is inalienable because it is given to them by God. Note that this exactly matches the language used in the Declaration of Independence, the preamble to our Constitution:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

Note that the phrasing indicates that there are other well-known "inalienable rights," which certainly include the right to bring up one's own children.

Gee. We never had any lifestyle stuff when I was in school.

The ruling means that the teaching of homosexuality as an accepted and approved lifestyle in Maryland public schools can move forward.

I wonder if Christianity or Judaism are "approved lifestyles."

"The Board said the "right (of parents) is not absolute. It must bend to the State's duty to educate its citizens."

That these bureaucrats can even make a statement like that speaks volumes. We are quickly approaching a rubicon with our government.

[Old_Mil]

While I'm one of the most right wing America-first types around, one has to wonder at what point God is more offended by the antics of our enlightened democracy than he is by a Mohammedan cutting off the head of someone who advocates for those antics.

After all, this is the same God who used pagan Babylonian and Roman empires to destroy Israel and said, And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.

The Maryland State Board of Education has ruled

Stop right there. This body is answerable to the people of the State of Maryland. If they cared, they'd hold it accountable to their wishes.

Don't people get what it means to be a citizen?

[SweetCaroline]

BTTT

[Trueblackman]

This is why I have nothing to do with my former homestate of Maryland and when I do have children, I intend to move to the Midwest or the South

[shield]

HA....HOME SCHOOL YOUR CHILDREN...get them all out of the government school system....

[Gay State Conservative]

Assuming that Maryland’s private schools aren’t required to teach this homosexual cr*p then explain how the state’s public schools have a *duty* to do so.

"It must bend to the State's duty to educate its citizens."

Indoctrination for all! Long live the king! I mean the state! I mean our rulers! This may be MD but it could be anywhere and will be eventually. Not to mention with this kind of state mindset it can and will bleed over into all kinds of "education". This country has lost it's mind. It's way and it's very foundation.

At what point will citizens say that government has become too uppity and move to reassert control of their leviathan? If this fails they can only move out of the state, and leave it to people who approve of its moral course.
