The Alameda, Calif., public schools are adopting a curriculum that will require first graders to read literature that equates same-sex unions with a family made up of a mother, father and child.
Parents will not be allowed to opt their first graders out of the curriculum.
Members of the Alameda United School District (AUSD) school board voted 3 to 2 last week to implement the Safe Schools curriculum, which supporters say is aimed at stopping anti-homosexual bullying in schools.
The program includes a between one and four lessons each year between grades 1 and 5 to introduce students to LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transsexual) issues.
As part of the curriculum, second graders will be exposed to books like And Tango Makes Three--a story book about two male penguins who hatch an egg and raise a chick together in New Yorks Central Park Zoo--and first graders will see Whos in a Family? which exposes students to a variety of different family structures.
(EDITOR'S NOTE: An earlier version of this story incorrectly indicated that first graders would be exposed to "And Tango Makes Three.")
The discussion plan for Whos In a Family? includes asking students to identify a type of family they see in the book.

yeaaaaaa...well you be sure and let us all know where the hell that is. LMAO
Well...a couple of years ago my husband and I decided to home school our kids. This meant me not working full time. We gave up my income, vacations, fancy cars and electronics to do something I have not regretted for one second. HOWEVER, when my husbands insurance went up and we were on the line for $1000 a month (yes, a month!) we had to make some decisions. Do I put my kids back into CA school system or do we look at other options like joining Healthy Families. Well, we joined Healthy Families. My husband and I have always worked (even now I work part time), we've never been on welfare, used food stamps, been on WIC, we pay our taxes, and pay for our children's schooling. But I learned a couple of days ago from a few Freepers - that apparently, I'm the scum of the earth. I can't win!
They remove God from the schools and usher in political re-education in its place.
It is one thing to say that “these things may not be discussed in schools”, it is quite another to say “THIS is the New morality AND you WILL bow to it”.
We are already organizing parents to do just that. Openly, publicly, LOUDLY, and to hold PRAYERS outside the school on the days they pull out their kids. alameda doesn't know what will hit it in September.
Know anyone in this district who wants to join us? Please send their email address to my private email here.
Read the California Education Code, assembly bills, et al. Find out everything they are required to do. MAKE them do it. For instance, perhaps parents have a right to preview or see curricula. Learn all about the what will be taught and exactly how many minutes will be spent on it. Perhaps there is a contradiction somewhere - for instance maybe x number of minutes is required to be spent on reading and when you do the math, adding this program means that the math minutes requirement can’t be met. Get legislation or a prop. to the effect that so many minutes of the school day must be spent on academics, or that no more than x number can be spent on social issues, etc. If you can get the curricula yourself then teach your kids about propaganda and point out the errors, inconsistencies and tell them what they will be required to respond. In other words innoculate them mentally and help them learn to spot where and when they are being agendized.
People who go to these kinds of schools elect Morons to the Whitehouse.
That’s how we got the present lawn jockey.
In any other situation, an adult talking to a six year old about gay transgendered issues would be arrested as a predator. And should be.
You need to read up on the David Parker case here in Massachusetts. You are not allowed to opt out:

That’s the way! The schools belong to the tax payers ,not the board.
they only get money from the fed when those kids are present in class. mine would damm sure not be there. no way.
Yes it’s Schoolhouse Rock. Sat am cartoon “commercials”. Love them!
Actually the song is very politically incorrect—it’s a man and a woman having a little baby to create “three in a family”. It will have to be redone!
Here’s the lyrics Chet:
Three is a magic number,
Yes it is, it’s a magic number.
Somewhere in the ancient, mystic trinity
You get three as a magic number.
The past and the present and the future.
Faith and Hope and Charity,
The heart and the brain and the body
Give you three as a magic number.
It takes three legs to make a tri-pod
Or to make a table stand.
It takes three wheels to make a ve-hicle
Called a tricycle.
Every triangle has three corners,
Every triangle has three sides,
No more, no less.
You don’t have to guess.
When it’s three you can see
It’s a magic number.
A man and a woman had a little baby,
Yes, they did.
They had three in the family,
And that’s a magic number.
3-6-9, 12-15-18, 21-24-27, 30.
3-6-9, 12-15-18, 21-24-27, 30.
Multiply backwards from three times ten:
Three time ten is (30), three times nine is (27),
Three times eight is (24), three times seven is (21),
Three times six is (18), three times five is (15),
Three times four is twelve,
And three times three is nine, and three times two is six,
And three times one is three of course.
Now take the pattern once more:
Three! . . .3-6-9
Twelve! . . .12-15-18
Twenty-one!. . .21-24-27. . .30
Now multiply from 10 backwards:
Three time ten is (30 - Keep going), three times nine is (27),
Three times eight is (24), three times seven is (21),
Three times six is (18), three times five is (15),
Three times four is twelve,
And three times three is nine, and three times two is six,
And three times one...
What is it?!
Three!
Yeah, That’s a magic number.
A man and a woman had a little baby.
Yes, they did.
They had three in the family.
That’s a magic number.
“I can hardly wait for the first muslim 1st grader to tell his or her parents about the teachings of the infidels. It will be fun to watch the liberals panic.”
Yea, and I know who I’ll be cheering on! The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Also, the website with the plan for each grade from K-6. Look under the Revised LGBT lesson plan.
Truly reprehensible and disgusting.
(MAJOR SARCASM ALERT!) We have it on good authority that the Boy Scout Council in the Bay area has been sued to force them to add this new and distinctive badge to the Scout program there:
No thanks. LOL
We'll just keep “home schooling” down here.
I HAVE followed that sorry tale somewhat.
I believe my kids would at a minimum be sick alot.
“Go Galt now, save Bowman for later”
Bowman?
You've made the right choice in homeschooling your children. My hat is off to you.
Califoria=California
Does ANYONE in government in Kawlifornia have a functioning brain??? 1st graders are too young to understand this cr@p and they are the LAST people this should be “taught” to!!!
