A Lesson In Bias
Joseph Farah
It's unusual for me to devote an entire column to an otherwise obscure assistant professor with a less-than distinguished writing career – let alone a second column.
But Mel Seesholtz of Penn State University, the subject of my musings Wednesday, has responded in a letter to the editor suggesting I ignored the substance of his argument in favor of "bias free" education and dwelled only on his thinly veiled call for my death, along with James Dobson's.
Somehow, it had never occurred to me that I should concern myself with the substance of an argument being made by a nutcase calling for my head. Seesholtz's argument is and was, for me, sort of beside the point.
He employs all of the newspeak of the "GLBT community" to defend an indefensible piece of legislation in California audaciously called "the Bias Free Curriculum Act." Vetoed by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, the law would have mandated sexual indoctrination of kids from kindergarten on up – in private schools as well as public, or, as Seesholtz himself describes the bill, it "would have prohibited discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity in textbooks, classroom materials and school-sponsored activities."
Give me a break. This is not as education. This is homosexual reproduction.
Since homosexuals don't reproduce naturally, they need to recruit – not to be their children, mind you, but to be their prey. That's why they care so much about what happens in schools – where they obviously have few of their own children.
But I digress.
What I really wanted to deal with is the notion that there can be such a thing as "bias free curriculum." The very idea is preposterous, and even someone as steeped in the moral confusion of academia as Seesholtz should understand that.
Surely, Seesholtz, who has turned the vilification of Christians and the promotion of same-sex marriage into something of a cottage industry, does not favor the California law because he thinks it is about being free of bias. If he had an ounce of honesty in his spirit, he would admit he favors the law because it promotes his pro-homosexual, anti-Christian agenda.
Think about this: Is there any such thing as "bias-free education"? Can there be any such thing? Would it be possible? If possible, would it be a worthy goal?
I would say no. And, I've got to believe any thinking person would agree.
Values are an inherent part of education. You have to teach someone's values. They can be good values or bad values. But they are values nevertheless. They could be my values or they could be values of California Sen. Sheila Kuehl – Zelda, as she was once known on the "Dobie Gillis" show.
There is no such thing as an education absent values. It's just a question of whose values will be taught.
It's scary that California came as close as it did to imposing by force the values of the Mel Seesholtzes of the world on innocent little schoolchildren who have no need to hear about what homosexuals do in the privacy of their bedrooms, in the bathhouses, in the public restrooms and up on Brokeback Mountain.
Let's be honest; there's only one reason to teach kindergarteners about sexual perversion – and that is to raise a new generation of pliable sexual victims of that perversion.
You can couch this immorality in creative public-relations language. You can put any shade of lipstick on that pig you choose. But, at the end of the day, you know what is in the heart, minds and souls of those pushing their sick agenda down the throats of the innocent little schoolchildren.
At Penn State University, they teach the values of Mel Seesholtz, the Ward Churchill of the pro-perversion, anti-Christian crowd. The fact that one so intolerant presses so hard for California's so-called "Bias Free Curriculum Act" strongly suggests Schwarzenegger made the right call when he terminated the bill with extreme prejudice.
There is no such thing as bias-free values. Nature - and life - abhors a vacuum and if traditional values aren't present, then the vacuum will be filled with perverted values. The Gay Lobby wants its values taught to kids since it can't reproduce naturally. It needs to create new homosexuals and lesbians. And the only way to do that is to make kids doubt their own sexuality. In a word, contra Seesholtz and fellow members of his community aren't interested in tolerance. They are interested in homosexual indoctrination, with the power of the state on their side. When you get right down to it, GLBT issues mean transforming the publik skrools into a safe New World for the perverts and deviants among us. They've made it clear their aim is to purge society of Christians and any one else who might pose a threat to their depraved lifestyles. Yes, I admit I am freely biased in the belief there is such a thing as right and wrong and I don't want to ever watch what gays do on Brokeback Mountain - and our children shouldn't have to be exposed to it, period. Its just plain wrong. And in that regard Seesholtz and Zelda and their rest of their friends will have a fight on their hands if they persist in making our children pawns to legitimize what most of us deem sexually depraved acts. End of story.

I love WORLDNETDAILY.
Timely.
I have a meeting Monday with two of my children and the principal of their school, about a teacher who delivered a sermon how it is perfectly fine to be a homosexual or a lesbian.
Everyone who loves their kids should do whatever it takes to remove them from the democratic party's socialist reeducation camps. Many people say its impossible because of their financial situation etc... Listen, the time with our children is very short and to give them to an institution that is bent on changing their values instead of teaching them reading, writing and arithmetic is insane. Our parents and grandparents sacrificed everything to put us into schools, colleges etc at the expense of their free time and pleasure. Our generation is bent on having two new cars, atv's, jet ski, boats...whatever at the expense of leaving children in hands of these lefty's. We raised 5 kids during the 80's, 90's and have two left that we home school. There were a half a dozen outstanding teachers that we had in the late 90's and all of them retired early because of the direction the school district was heading. They too pulled their kids and placed them in private schools or home-schooled. This is a war of ideas and if we give them our children they win.
It takes a long time for young people to recover from their liberal reeducation experience. My daughter is now 32 and we are just now beginning to be allowed to discuss controversial topics at family gatherings. Until now it has been forboten. Needless to say, that has been hard to take.
My mother said that marrying their father was the only big mistake I had made. These days he is a rabid, move-on type dem. We have been divorced for 25 years, but he also influences our children.
"Many people say its impossible because of their financial situation etc"
Well, sometimes it's true. I've been trying very hard to find a job since I got to Idaho in April, with no success. We're down to $41.00 in cash, and a lot of bills.
I've tried every staffing agency I can find. I can't even get day labor.
Well stated. It needs to be said over and over--and you did it eloquently.
