Nothing like early indoctrination...

[silverleaf]

Early indoctrination Is absolutely critical

Have to get the kids to experience and try homosexuality before they reach enough maturity to develop normal urges

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

That sort of thing has been happening longer than people realize. Now it is just bolder and more out in the open.

Happened in my daughter’s school as well. Disguised as anti-bullying, the teacher used the kids to try and get other kids to actually sign a pledge of support for LGBT. Sign a document of fealty in the guise of acceptance/anti-bullying.

Needless to say, the principal, the school board, and the school superintendent got an earful from me. Yeah, I was polite, but I left no words unsaid.

The group of concerned parents and citizens in Humboldt believe it’s “a gross misuse of taxpayer money” to send students to the conference after several came home disturbed by the graphic, profanity-laced presentations delivered at the event in Altoona this April, WHO TV reports.

Dear God! What has my hometown become?!

[Albion Wilde]

The father of a Des Moines senior told the site his daughter was “absolutely distraught” by the material at the conference and felt bamboozled by organizers who misled attendees about the focus of the event. “She thought she was attending this conference to learn how students can be supportive of their homosexual peers, how they can bring unity to her school. She went thinking it was going to be on bullying, and she wanted to learn how to be more supportive, inclusive and accepting,” the father said.

That's what Dad gets for being so politically correct to let his daughter go there in the first place. The family are the ones to teach young people how to respect themselves and others, and how to avoid bullying, both coming and going. Letting the schools "teach" anything even tangentially related to sexuality is abdication of parental responsibility.

It’s only a matter of time until orgies are mandated in the classroom from elementary school on

[liberalism is suicide]

They didn’t come out of the closet, they came out of the sewer.

[GeronL]

If you hear about anything “safe schools” you can bet it is 110% perverted

[GeronL]

The superintendent was fine with the graphic and vulgar sex stuff being told and shown to middle schoolers, this person should be barred from being near kids.

[mumblypeg]

Good for you! This is coming to everyone’s school district very soon. We all need to get proactive on this. I’ve told every parent and grandparent I know about the massresistance.com site.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

This is so bad that both lists are getting pinged.

Homeschoolers. This is what your kids are missing.

[Gritty]

This is child abuse! Where are the parents with the buckets of boiling tar and feathers?

[BobL]

Lot of Republicans criss-crossing Iowa these days.

All but two of them are prohibited by their Republican Establishment ‘advisers’ (most of them gay, by the way) from commenting on “hot-button social issues”, so you won’t hear a peep from them.

So let’s see if Trump and/or Cruz takes this up and say something. I sort of doubt it, but it may just happen with those two!

[wintertime]

So?....After your earful, what happened? Nothing?

[wintertime]

On the day after the conference the school was filled to the brim with students. Instead, all parents should have immediately removed their children. No kids= no jobs= the teachers and principal pays attention.

But...Free babysitting is powerfully addicting even if the environment is spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and physically **abusive**!

[Tired of Taxes]

When we tell other parents what happens at these conferences, they don’t believe us.

Most of them don’t read the news, and they don’t visit forums like this one. They’re busy working and watching their favorite TV shows. For the news, they listen to sound bites and then don’t think further.

Now these parents know the truth. It’s sad that their children had to go to a conference to find out.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

The parents are only concerned because it’s “a gross misuse of taxpayer money”? Honestly, is that what they are really worried about? Aren’t there some moral and ethical issues that would be of far greater concern? Or is a dishonest author just casting it that way?

[ForYourChildren]

Get YOUR children out of the government indoctrination centers - NOW!!

[Linda Frances]

I hardly have words. How have we gotten to a place where this perversion is proudly taught and approved by the organizations below. Note the last name. God help us. Satan is no longer hiding, and these people are working hard for him.

Who’s funding the conference?

In fact, the brochure lists a number of businesses that sponsored the event, including:

Principal Financial Group
Nationwide
Office Depot
The TJX Companies, Inc. (T.J.Maxx, Marshalls, HomeGoods, Sierra Trading Post)
A number of school and religious organizations were listed as sponsors as well:

The Iowa State Education Association
The University of Iowa
Iowa Association of School Boards
School Administrators of Iowa
Episcopal Diocese of Iowa
