Beginning in seventh grade, public school students in the Virginia suburbs outside Washington, D.C., will be taught about “sexual orientation terms,” including heterosexuality, homosexuality, bisexuality—“and the gender identity term transgender,” according to a newly adopted sex education curriculum.

The Fairfax County School Board voted last week to adopt the controversial new “Family Life Education Curriculum.”

A teachable moment, and a great opportunity to teach your children what I taught my kid on the first day of 1st grade:

“Some of what they teach you in school is always true. Some is true for now. And some of it is totally wrong. It will be your job in school to find out which is which.”

Now my teenager is a high school sophomore, and I’m proud to say that she has learned that lesson well.

The parents’ anger needs to be translated into action. This a war and it needs to be prosecuted like one to the greatest legal extent possible. Target the School Board members by picketing their houses; hire PIs to dig into their backgrounds, find bases to file suits against them in their individual capacity. If they have businesses, do the same. They need to fear the people, not the other way around.

Gender identity class:

Look down.
Handle? Male
No handle? Female

Class dismissed.

Unfortunately, you can’t teach United States History any longer without teaching the very same thing they are advocating. (Thanks to the Supreme Court an Zero)

I don’t see they have a choice. After the Supreme Court changed the laws, it would be discriminatory to talk about marriage at all without mentioning same sex marriage. And “Heather has Two Mommies” will be required reading in the first grade.

Next year Houghton Mifflin Harcourt will be looking to publish “Yolanda has a Baby Daddy and Three Mommas.” To be issued to all elementary schools. Get your manuscripts in early. This will be a big seller.

But 4 million Christian conservatives stayed home in 2012, because they couldn’t stomach a Mormon in the White House. Elections have consequences. I’m heading out to get my free government health care.

Target the School Board members

Those who do so would be labeled by the media as "domestic terrorists" and treated as such by law enforcement.

If you are a domestic terrorist for hiring PIs, researching the background and affiliations of board members and taking legal action, then this country is truly over.

Even more LibTards stayed home. About 13 million so that’s not the problem. In 2010 28 million LibTards stayed home. The problem is much deeper than a few million of ours stay home.

If the LibTards wake up and actually vote ... game over. We need a message and not bumper-stickers. Time grows short.

Parents have three options for educating their children: Government Schools, Christian Schools or Home School.

Like any product or service, choose the one that best suits you.

Parents who complain about Government Schools, yet continue to send their children to them are morons.
