On April 27th of this year, the heavy hand of Bolshevism clamped down upon David Parker, a Lexington, MA. citizen and father of a six year old son. David was arrested on trumped up charges, handcuffed like a dangerous felon, and led off to jail. His heinous crime? Parker is guilty of being a morally principled man with the courage to request that he and his wife be given advance notification when issues of sexual unnaturalness and perversion (transgenderism, sodomy, and same-sex headed relationships) were going to be discussed in his son's classroom. Said Parker, "certain authorities insist that I agree that my children must be taught that gay relationships and transgender transformation are acceptable and normal. When I firmly, albeit patiently, objected and then finally insisted to be notified when and how my own children were to be exposed to these issues, I was arrested and hauled off to jail." Freedom of conscience has been made a hate-crime in Massachusetts.
Among the communist goals listed on the Congressional Record—Current Communist Goals (pp. A34-A35, Jan. 10, 1963) are these: 17) Get control of the schools…use as transmission belts for socialism, 25) Break down cultural standards of morality, 26) Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as 'normal, natural, healthy."
These goals are affirmed by the Communist Textbook of Psychopolitics. It is written, "Degradation and conquest are companions. In order to be conquered a nation must be degraded. By attacking the character and morals…by bringing about contamination of youth, a general degraded feeling (will facilitate) command of the population."
Lexington Bolshevik commissars are actualizing invidiously evil stratagems devised to effectuate moral decay and collapse within America. In their capacity as school board officials and as teachers, they are spreading propaganda designed to "destroy the home." By "creating continuous juvenile delinquency, forcing upon the state all manner of practices to divorce the child from it (the family) will in the end create the chaos necessary to Communism. Creating a greed for drugs, sexual misbehavior and uncontrolled freedom (will) bring about our alignment." (Communist Textbook of Psychopolitics)
David Parker, a morally principled man, devoted father, and courageous dissident of their evil devices has been stamped: "Enemy of the State."
In a speech before his supporters, Parker stated, "I stand before you banned from attending my son's first day of school…banned from voting, teacher-parent conferences and school committee meetings. The Lexington school administration demands that I ask permission for these rights. What free U.S. citizen must ask for permission to vote, or to be in the presence of his son? The school administration…is attempting to put themselves in the role as parents."
Facing off against Parker and his supporters was a malevolence-fueled rabble gathered together to spit and spew venom. Among the venomous hissing snakes were commissars Helen Cohen, Chairman of the Lexington School Committee; Tom Griffiths, a School Committee member; and Jeanne Kreiger, member of the Lexington Board of Selectmen. Also in attendance were three Marxist 'liberation theology' preachers: Rabbi Howard Jaffe of Temple Isaiah, Rev. Judy Brain, Pastor of Pilgrim Congregational Church, and Rev. Bill Clark, Senior Pastor of the First Unitarian Parish in Lexington. (Article8.org)
Of the venom-spewing rabble, one witness commented, "You could see the look in their eyes, even the kids. It was eerie. They really can't stand us, as if we're polluting their town just by being here." (Article8.org)
In speaking of commissars, Balint Vazsonyi (America's Thirty Years War) observed that, "commissars of 'social justice' demand conformity in our most private thoughts, our innermost sentiments. Conformity—not only to their failed theories, but to their every whim."
"In the predawn light of April 19 (1775), the beating drums and peeling bells summoned between thirty and fifty militiamen to the town green of Lexington. As they lined up in battle formation the distant sound of marching feet and shouted orders alerted them of the Redcoats approach. The British troops approached…rapidly in platoons…a general officer on horseback at their head. The officer came up to within about two rods of the centre of the company…swung his sword, and said, "Lay down your arms, you damned rebels, or you are all dead men. Fire!" Thus began the "confrontation that would launch a nation." (EyeWitnessToHistory.com)
David Parker has been ordered to 'lay down his arms' and surrender. But he, a valiant modern-day Paul Revere, not only cried out the alarm, but courageously fired the first volley, so to speak, when he bravely vowed:
"Let the call go forth from Lexington, across Massachusetts, and throughout the United States to the world - Parents stand your ground!
Don't return their hate and intolerance when fired upon.
But if they mean to have a war over parental rights, Battling for the hearts and minds of our children,
Then let it begin here!
And with regard to the Lexington School administration banning a father's will and presence from all schools,
I—shall—return!
No powers or principalities on this earth or beyond shall separate the Father from his Son!"
David Parker has sounded the battle cry. Now it's time for all good men to unite and join the fight, for as Edmund Burke cautioned, "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle."

Thanks sycophantic school "leaders" and administrators!
With all due respect, it would be nice to see an article which includes the whole story. I suspect something is missing on this one.
Will ping it out later, thank you!
bump - if this is true - then the tree of liberty is thirsty.
Taking back the school boards, and hence the schools, is just the beginning to taking the country back from the perverts of the Left. I hope that David Parker's battle cry is heard across the country.
The Agenda to pervert, corrupt, and disillusion our children is most insidious and must be fought with all strength.
Make no mistake about it, this is not an earthly battle, this is a spiritual battle, and must be fought with spiritual weapons. Prayer, faith, and God's Truth.
Calling Dr. Laura
The Lexington School system violated state law by not informing Mr. Parker that Homosexuality was being introduced to the curriculum. The school committee memebers are further violating that same law by engaging in retribution against him. Where is AG Riley?

There's only one answer - get your kids out of the public schools and cut off their funding stream. Private or religious school or homeschool only.
Conservatives calling liberals "Communists" is about as effective as liberals calling conservatives "Nazis" or "Fascists." Regardless of how apt you think the comparison is, people look at the comparison rather than at your argument, and it generally distances you from your audience. While the author may be completely right, she chooses to name-call rather than relating events in a simple, straightforward, persuasive style. I've read the article twice now, and I'm still not sure I know what happened.
My point being, could she simply tell us what happened, instead of hyper-ventilating in print?
Nothing missing at all. Go to www.Article8.org for complete stor.
He should confront the school board and elected officials, or try home schooling if none of that works.
>> I hope that David Parker's battle cry is heard across the country.
Nothing will change in Massachusetts, nothing can.
The only change here are the normal people leaving and more perverted nitwits communists and illegals moving in.
This place is a freak show of dysfunctional public sector workers and lawyers. Soon it will be only them left as the destroy the very fabric of the civilization they so hate.
I've read pretty much every article that's appeared on FR about David Parker.
The real problem is that those who want public schools to double as indoctrination centers for (among other leftist causes) the "gay" agenda will brook no dissent - none whatsoever. And the aggressive promotion of homosexuality is first and foremost of the leftist agendas being force fed into children.
Mr. Parker's alternative methods can all pretty much be described as various appeasement methods.
In CA there is a law mandating K-12 homosexual indoctrination; from what I've read some school districts in conservative parts of the state don't pay as much attention to it as in the liberal areas. The actual alternative is finding a good private school or homeschooling. But a conscientious conservative doesn't want only their own children to be protected from lies and indoctrination; a real conservative doesn't want to see society go to hell in a handbasket.
The administration in this situation did not give Mr. Parker the respect that was due him as a citizen and a parent. It is clear that homosexual activists - not just the radical homosexuals themselves, but those who support their cause - are the most intolerant, vengeful, lying and powermad group of people we've seen in a long time.
Well, for one thing, there have been many articles about the David Parker situation. This is not strictly a news report, it is an editorial, and the author was not attempting to write a historical rundown of everything that happened but is rather giving a summary, bringing it into a larger political perspective.
She can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think she's using the "liberation theology" not as strictly as in the Catholic Marxist revolutionaries, but in the sense of "relgious" people promoting leftist causes in general. Such supposedly religious homosexuality promoters are using their position to promote pet leftist causes, seeking "liberation" from - well, from the 10 Commandments, for one thing.
She mentions the religious spokespeople because they have been mentioned prominently in news articles. It is noteworthy that people who are supposedly representing God or trying to teach the message of God are promoting that which God very clearly states is abominable, and not just in the Old and New Testament, but in every monotheist religion in the world. I think that quite noteworthy.
And your complaint that she didn't tell you each detail of the entire story - this is an editorial, not a complete historical account of the entire situation. I think that's pretty clear.
