Parents Denied Right to See Pro-LGBT Videos Forced on Their Children

A lawsuit against a Pennsylvania school district will be filed later this month, if the district continues its refusal to allow parents to see a series of pro-LGBT videos that their children were forced to watch in April. In a June 22 letter to the East Penn School District, Liberty Counsel attorney Richard Mast said that Pennsylvania state law dictates that parents are entitled to all such curriculum information.

Almost three thousand students at Emmaus High School were required to see the videos during the school district’s LGBT “Unity Week.” Students could not opt out, and not only were parents not allowed to see the videos, they were not even informed that the videos were being shown.

The national LGBT lobbying group GLSEN sponsored the “Day of Silence” across the United States. The four videos that the students were forced to watch were sponsored by the Gay Straight Alliance Club.

That's really interesting because I have heard of situations in the public schools where the SPED kids do way better on exams than the *regular* kids and TA's who can sometimes read the tests to the kids are accused (by the other students) of giving them the answers cause nobody believes the SPED kids could do it.

Now mind you, these kids also know those other ones really well and know how smart they are so maybe there's a point.

But then again, maybe not.

The incredible irony in this is that forced conversion therapy is banned by law in many states.

It’s ILLEGAL to have someone go through conversion therapy to go from homosexual to heterosexual, but this forced propaganda to convert kids from heterosexual to homosexual is just fine with them.

If there’s one word that that sums up liberalism in its totality, it’s......

HYPOCRISY.

Some of those speds are “high functioning autistics” and may be very very good at academics but dot’t respond to standard classroom settings or normal classroom stimuli. Wife had one such that she put in a corner of the room with a stack of books she changed out over the year she had him. The second grader aced all the performance tests at the end of the year but stalled in a normal classroom in third grade. She indirectly (directly would have got her fired) induced the parents to homeschool.

I understand why teachers go to the public schools. the unlimited taxpayer funds make them attractive.

But in the long run, being handcuffed to evil systems traps potential, of both the teacher and the student.

Until we kick out public schooling in this country we will have no chance of recovering and expanding our culture in a positive way.

Lighten up Francis.

Did I say any God damn thing about me corrupting your children?

Most schools will not “excuse” a week long absence, but tend not to question something such as a death in the family.

But hey your kids will love you for having them attend summer school or be held back a grade for excessive absences.

I think it’s you who needs to lighten up. My comments weren’t directed at you, but at the perverts pushing this degenerate agenda.

And frankly, if attending summer school kept them from being exposed to this trash, my children would be attending summer school. I don’t need them to agree with me, but they do need to obey.

As for them being held back, that has lawsuit written all over it.

With really excellent education plans availbale online, plenty of books and a few friends you can co-op with to handle, say, arts or sports or higher math, I believe all parents could homeschool.

With our firstborn, it was definitely a case of "you don't have to push the river." He was eager for skills and knowledge. With a little encouragement and sufficient opportunity, he pursued it on his own.

Until we kick out public schooling in this country we will have no chance of recovering...

I see it sort of the same way but am less optimistic. We have half a century of uneducation of the population. Very few who were in primary school fifty years ago or more recently have any notion of history. They do not know what systems have failed and failed again in the past and they are open to accept anything that sounds good and "caring." They have no sense of cause and effect beyond knowing it hurts if you get punched in the nose. There is little ability to calculate any more in most of the students, the ones who did not turn into engineers and scientists. Religion has been flushed from modern life except as a hobby thing. Right and wrong are all situationally relative. How is the Constitutional Republic going to be rebuilt on that?

Trump, if he is the Superman we all hope and pray that he is, can only buy us a hiatus, perhaps ten years before the iron box closes in again. Two countries have built successful Republics and they built on the same bases. Switzerland and the USA were both originally populated by people separating from the clan and feudal structures of Europe and coalesced into populations of individuals with no binding ties to clan or lord. America got too rich and came to support a huge class of nonproductive drones, the welfare class which only wants more free stuff and the wealthy and largely higher IQ class of trust fund kids and academics who have the leisure and the lack of real world experience to dream up utopias and the assets and means to force their vaporous ideas on the population. Recently they have been joined by a class of extremely high IQ men who made too much money too fast and have no understanding of where it came from. It fell out of the sky on them and they don't understand why everyone can't have money fall out of the sky on them. They operate as Capitalists and Entrepreneurs but they think like sheltered college sophomores.
