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."

I didn't suggest he was a bad guy, just that something of the event leading up to his arrest was likely either omitted or diminished by the author. I wish him luck, but think he needs to look to alternatives if a good education for his child is his primary goal. If his goal is to beat the MA education system, he has a lot of work ahead of him, and his child will likely suffer during the ordeal.
BTW, do you have a link to that California law?
You hit every note to perfection!
No link handy; it's been on the books since 2001 and was voted in by what passes for a legislature in Sacramento in 2000. If I remember I'll do a search later. Gotta run off and do something right now, I snuck onto FR for a minute!
It is definitely mandated, K-12. In Eureka a few years ago I read about a situation in (sheesh, what grade was it? Middle school, I think) wherein the special teachers from - get this - Planned Parenthood - brought in to enlighten the skulls full of mush about the glories of gaydom asked the kids if any of them thought homosexuality was wrong. One or two raised their hands, and then, under the instruction of the teachers, were taunted and yelled after being placed in the middle of a circle.
Our tax money at work!
The Clown Posse doesn't think so.

Wow, This is a good editorial piece, the thread is 5 hrs old and nobody has even added a keyword? How will it get any attention?
Great editorial by one of our FReepers, she's also one of our ping-listers. Doing what the lame_stream media refuses to do.
Thumbs up to Lindykim! Keep up the good work.
If you want on/off the ping list let me and little jeremiah know.
Hell, that's almost as good as having the DUmmies disagree with you!
(Scratching my head) I forgot to ping it out! I started making a couple of comments here and there and thought I pung it.
Because I'm scatter brained.

"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."
That is not good Freepthink, Comrade MACVSOG68. Beware; you may be sent to the "This poster is banned or suspended" reeducation camp.
LOL. I do tend to get near the edge from time to time. I was warned once when questioning a WND article.
Let's see here, Nambla teaches how to rape little boys and get away with it. The lefty outfit ACLU defends them pro-bono, and the National Education Association is a major supporter of the ACLU. Now our kids are being taught that homoperve sex is natural and normal....that about it?
I hope I am not the only one connecting the dots here.
You would be wrong, unfortunately. The whole story has been revealed. As much as we might not want to believe this could happen in this country, it can and indeed it HAS!
This is the whole story.
Good question!! The "powers that be" or is it, "the powers that wish it to be" are apparently of the mind that this constitutes hate speech. It does not, and in MA, there is indeed a law that this school board has violated.
Actually, this meeting at his sons school, was the culmination of many request in writing to make Mr. Parker aware of these subjects being discussed, and many attempts to set up meetings. He finally got one, and firmly but politely refused to leave until he got an answer from the school board. It wasn't just the one meeting, IOW, it was the only face to face meeting, occurring after months of requesting a meeting, and after getting the run around for months, Mr. Parker politely told them he would not, as a parent, be put off again. He wanted his right the law in MA gives him, to opt out.
Nice Job!! Anyone who cannot connect the dots, especially after reading your editorial, is in denial.
