School Text Book - Who's In A Family? (Shows every family but one with husband, wife and kids).
GoGov ^ | Robert Skutch

Posted on 04/29/2005 6:18:52 PM PDT by BJungNan

Beginning with a traditional nuclear family and ending with blank spaces in which the child reader is instructed to "draw a picture of your family," this slight book catalogues multicultural contemporary family units, including those with single parents, lesbian and gay parents, mixed-race couples, grandparents and divorced parents. Ages 3-7

From a review of the book by a consumer appearing at Amazon where the book is available for sale.

Consumer Review: Kathy Buckley (Windsor, CO)
We searched for months for a book for our son that showed ALL types of families. This one hit the mark. While the illustrations may not be museum quality, the message is clear and understated. We have used this in our Sunday School class and based a Sunday service on the idea that "Families Valued" are not all plain vanilla. An excellent book to validate YOUR family's configuration.

Unfortunately for you, your minority status does not warrant politicians knocking down your door looking for a vote. Or is that fortunately?

True, plus I can commit crimes, scream racism and win!

It just keeps getting better all the time!

Is that a single father in the picture at 3 o'clock? Or a young man with an even younger, ummm, significant other?

Here's the review I submitted on this book:

A traditional family is not even acknowledged in this book!, April 30, 2005
Reviewer: Felix the cat - See all my reviews
I can't imagine any normal person giving this book rave reviews. It highlights every dysfunctional family imaginable and suggests it's "normal". It has nearly every "family" configuration EXCEPT a normal, heterosexual male, female, married with children.

This book is everything normal people reject and discourage their kids from seeking. It belongs in the circular file near your desk or better yet, a shreader would serve it well. It deserves -5 *****

Why don't you write a review of this trash? Here's the link:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/write-a-review.html/103-7719939-4006241

They know exactly what they are doing in aiming this *hit to ages 3-7. Often I have to tell my daughter that we can't marry and she can't marry her Daddy. Girls don't marry girls, their mothers or fathers but someday she'll meet a nice young man and they she'll marry.

Not that I know of but there should be.

Here's the link:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/write-a-review.html/103-7719939-4006241

I'm sure others could do a better job cutting this book down to size. Ping any and all who would do that. This is pure *hit.

One of the other reviews

This book is written nicely for a parent with biological kids who now has a same-sex spouse. For those of us who built our families WITH our same-sex spouse, this book can confuse our kids. The author never refers to "my two fathers" or "my two mothers"...it's always "dad and his PARTNER." That just doesn't apply for my family but we're so used to substituting words in books that the inconvenience is minimal...until my kids can read themselves!

ANYTHING with homosexuals is NOT for children 3-7. This is digusting that they indoctrinate children now as to sexual behavior.


It certainly is digusting. The Queering of Elementary Education marches on.

In her book, The Death of Right and Wrong: Exposing the Left's Assault on Our Culture and Values, Tammy Bruce writes in Chapter Four: First the Culture, Then the Children: The Agenda of the Radical Gay Elite:

"The radicals in control of the gay establishment want children in their world of moral decay, lack of self-restraint, and moral relativism. Why? How better to truly belong to the majority (when you're really on the fringe) than by taking possession of the next generation? By targeting children, you can start indoctrinating the next generation with the false construct that gay people deserve special treatment and special laws." (Pg.88)

"Between GLSEN, the Happy Penis, Phil, and now Kami, I'd say the Gay Elite have your children as a captive audience. Whether you like it or not, they have appointed themselves your children's moral tutor." (pg.119)



When it comes to indoctrinating children, GLSEN leads the way:

A GLSEN Education Department Resource: The Power of Children’s Literature - Gay and Lesbian Themes in a Diverse Childhood Curriculum

An excerpt from GLSEN's "Annotated Bibliography of Children's Books With Gay and Lesbian Characters Resources for Early Childhood Educators and Parents"


An excerpt from "Targeting Children - Part two: How the homosexual movement uses public schools as instruments of change"

"... GLSEN activist and New York kindergarten teacher Jaki Williams said starting in kindergarten is a must, since children at that age are still developing their ideas about the world around them. Even at that age, she said, “the saturation process needs to begin.”

Williams, in fact, is a model teacher when it comes to this “saturation” process. She regularly initiates conversations with her children by reading to them such controversial books as Heather Has Two Mommies, Daddy’s Roommate, and One Dad, Two Dads, Browns Dads, Blue Dads. She also hosts a viewing of the video Both of My Moms’ Names Are Judy: Children of Lesbians and Gays Speak Out, produced by a San Francisco pro-homosexual advocacy group.

According to one writer for The Lambda Report, who infiltrated a 1997 GLSEN workshop, one former teacher admitted that changing the mind of a child required more than a one-time effort. She said she had to expose her children to a constant stream of homosexual words and images, because "It’s really a conditioning process..."
