So,.... if *mom* and *dad* are out, what do kids of homosexual couples call their parents?

Mom 1 and Mom 2?

Dad A and Dad B?

Thing 1 and Thing 2?

Hey you?

First names?

Exactly. If gay activists really wanted Big Brother out of their bedrooms, they wouldn’t have invited it in. With civil unions/partnerships/whatever, they’re literally reporting themselves to the gov’t, giving personal info to be put on gov’t file.

Obviously, it’s not privacy they want. Their real goal is to destroy the idea of real marriage and family.

I think that my child would refer to her parents as mommy & daddy ...I don't care what the school says. I doubt many children are going to alright with this nonsense either. Maybe they are supposed to refer to us by our surnames. I happen to use a different name then my husband's so it will get confusing for those with different last names. I guess we are unit 1 & unit 2!

Children need to stand up & say enough of this bs. Walk out of class or just say no. I am teaching my child to say no to anything she is uncomfortable with. I am only too happy to deal with that school! Hmmm if one day you don't see me for awhile its because they locked me up!

But seriously why don't the children refuse this nonsense & say no? It is mommy & daddy & I don't want to read GAY books or watch GAY movies? I am not ok with switch dressing! What can the school do ? Lock them in a classroom? Expel them? Seems to me its free thinking to be able to say NO & freedom of choice.

Not likely they will expel them. There’s no money in that.

Because they are small, innocent, and absolutely NO match for a sophisticated adult teacher in a position of authority and with the ability to make their lives a living hell.

I know some parents think that their children can somehow be “salt and light” in the schools. But,,,honestly, think about it. Did Christ send out **children** to be missionaries, or did he use seasoned men who had lived closely with Him for 3 years? Expecting children to be missionaries in a Secular Humanist government school is impossible. It’s like asking them to put out a raging forest fire with a water pistol.

If we had youth who were very well grounded in the Christian faith, and well schooled in confronting the Secular Humanist arguments, then we could send in armies of righteous youth to our colleges and universities. These could be God’s youth who could get up and walk out, as you suggest. These youth could turn the college and university culture completely around.

But,,,elementary and high school children? NO! They are too tender to withstand the daily onslaught of the Secular Humanist government religion that is preached daily by the government school priests and priestesses ( mis-named “teachers”).

If anyone needs to say NO, it is the parents! They need to say NO to the government school. They need to take their children OUT of government school immediately. Do what ever it takes, morally ethically, to make that happen.

Well I sure wish you could come & talk to my husband! He is not getting what public schools do to children. So the best for me to do right now is just tell Sassy to say no.

With my now adult children I taught them to respect teachers & almost everyone older. Not this child. Not in this day sadly. I tell her to avoid strangers & if she is uncomfortable with an adult let me know. I don't teach her to be a brat. But to be on her guard. That is darn sad. But I've faced the fact that life isn't as it was for my older children, wasn't then even. Not like it was when I was a child. Sadly in my life I was taught to respect all adults & to more or less obey them. I don't think my parent's were aware that Uncle Nicky was touching all of us girls. They were in denial even when we were old enough to tell them. So Sassy is being taught to say no to things & to speak up. I don't care if she walks out of a class. I will deal with that school until her father can get educated enough to see that public schools are going a bit crazy ...

I once got a lift with two female friends of friends (who I had never met before)and a kid travelling into the country for a house party.

Being a little naive, I assumed that the boy’s father was away somewhere and the two women were pals. As we drove I started to notice that the boy (who was about six) was calling the more feminine of the two women “Mommy” and the more butch one “Daddy.” Turned out the kid was an artificially inseminated creation and the two lesbians had encouraged the child to look on one of them as male.

I still feel sick when I think about that poor boy.

And Californians can thank Schwartzneggar for giving them something similar with S.B. 777.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Did you read about California Christian teachers marching on Sacramento to protest this? Did you see or read about Christian teachers organizing a massive lobby effort to demand that their powerful union, the NEA, oppose this?

Gee! I certainly didn’t.

What are these Christian teachers doing?

Well?...I guess they are cooperating with, aiding, abetting, and implementing this atheistic, Secular Humanist program that will undermine the Christian foundation upon which all freedom rests. I guess than in return for destroying Western Civilization, pushing forward the Marxist agenda, and leading innocent children astray, these Christian teachers are accepting paying checks and working for generous pensions.

Gee! How “Christian” of them!

Someone should write a new hymn, “Onward Weak kneed Teachers!” ( to the tune of “Onward Christian Soldiers!”, of course!)

VERY sad!

And Christian and non-Christian teachers thoroughout the nation cooperate with, aid, assist, implement, and push forward this agenda.

Quick! Someone give these teachers a Mother Teresa award!

That’s soooo twisted. And it goes to show that EVERYONE recognizes the need for a male in the relationship.

So if using mom and dad is homophobic, insensitive against gays, then isn’t not using them heterophobic, being insensitive against straights?

Actually, that is the point. That is what the gay agenda is after. To marginalize heteros.

Don’t you know we’re the bad guys? /s
