We need to show up in support of these parents. This is an effort that is purely political. Bullying can be addressed without focusing it on sexual orientation. The vast majority of bullying has nothing to do with such things it is about big kids intimidating smaller or less popular kids. Let's email this around. The Board of Education will meet at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday in City Hall, 2263 Santa Clara Ave.
But anyone wishing to attend the meeting should visit http://www.alameda.k12.ca.us/ to confirm its location.

If a five year old knows what “gay” means then he/she has been sexualized at too early an age and is, therefore, a victim of bad parenting.

As much as I hate the idea of homeschooling—nothing against homeschoolers, but I could spot a homeschooled kid from a mile away in college b/c of their lack of mass socialization and tact—but I sure don’t want my sons being taught this kind of stuff. I have a PreK and a three-year-old in classes for a speech delay and they already come home saying things that are borderline for me. Little things about the environment and such, but enough to let me know it’s only going to get worse. And we’re in a conservative area.

I’m considering putting the little on in daycare at a younger age so that I can go to work to put them in private school. If we were in Cali, I’d be looking at any options outside of public schools.

Alameda county is dominated by Oakland and Fremont. Fremont has the largest middle eastern in the US, and Oakland of course is largely black. Violent attitudes towards homosexuals in these two cultures are well documented and a serious problem.

The only reason is to offer a framework for teachers to break down stereotypes and teach kids about different types of families. It has absolutely no intention of protecting kids, only indoctrinating them.

Sex before eight, or it is too late.

Think I’ll hold onto and spruce up my humble home in Tx.
Probably gonna be a good investment in the coming years as decent people flee from those degenerate, socialist hellholes.

I’ve read the actual glbt curriculum from K to 4th grade. Clearly, it isn’t about teaching anti-bullying for 2 reasons:

1- The K, 1st, and 2nd lessons are in all textbooks, they are actually the themes of most lower grade reading curricula, like Welcome and Who’s In Our Class, etc...

2- Starting in 4th grade the “lessons” cannot be called anything other than indoctrination. Disgusting that parents would even have to be fighting something that shouldn’t have been taken seriously.

I don’y know. doersn’t a “No-bullying” policy already cover that. I mean, no means no right? Why a special homo policy?

Is there an update to this? I heard something briefly on the news this morning, but just caught the tail end and couldn’t tell how it ended. I tried doing a search, but everything I put in came up empty.
