Same-Sex 'Marriage' Goes to School -

Same-Sex 'Marriage' Goes to School -

Out of the Closet and Into the Classroom

Mark Earley.

If you're looking at the same-sex "marriage" debate and thinking it won't affect you, allow me to bring the truth home to you—before your own children bring it home themselves.

Imagine finding out that your kindergartner's teacher read the story Heather Has Two Mommies or Daddy's New Roommate before nap time. Having two daddies or two mommies is just the same as having one of each, she explains.

Or perhaps you'll learn over the dinner table that a special speaker visited your middle-schooler's health class. The speaker instructed your pre-teen about homosexual sex—in graphic detail. Then the speaker asked for volunteers to role-play. One student was to act the part of "a young lesbian who's really enraptured with another woman" and who's "thinking about having sex."

If this appalls you—and it should—you need to know that this is not fantasy, but a foretaste of what will likely become the norm in public schools across America if you and I fail to protect marriage. You see, the speaker and role play I described happened in Massachusetts at a conference. Public school teachers received in-service points for attending, and students were bused from across the country to take part. After the workshop—which was much more graphic than I've described— teachers could even sign up to have these same speakers visit their classrooms.

The conference was sponsored by a group called GLSEN—the Gay Lesbian Straight Education Network. GLSEN has sponsored over two thousand Gay-Straight Alliance Clubs in public high schools and middle schools across America and leads an aggressive campaign to, in the words of the Boston chapter leader, "challenge the anti-gay, hetero-centric culture that still prevails in our schools." GLSEN and groups like it use the legitimate goal of stopping bullying in our schools to advance their real agenda of promoting the homosexual lifestyle.

And in 2003, it rolled out a high-school curriculum to present the same-sex "marriage" debate. Just looking at the curriculum objectives shows the bias and coercive strategies of this group. One objective states: "Students should understand both the historical parallels to marriage prohibitions against same-sex couples as well as the similarities among racism, homophobia, and all other oppressions." Students also have the chance to read about homosexual relations and then consider what it would be like to be in a same-sex wedding.

Unfortunately, GLSEN isn't the only group pumping the homosexual agenda to our school children. Take, for instance, this quote as an example of revisionist history from a textbook called A History of Western Society published by Houghton Mifflin:

"Early Christians, too, considered homosexuality a conventional expression of physical desire and were no more susceptible to anti-homosexual prejudices than pagans were. Some prominent Christians experienced loving same-gender relationships that probably had a sexual element."

My friends, if marriage is redefined, we can expect gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender propaganda promoted to every age school child, reflected across our textbooks with pictures, stories, and revisionist history. So if you're sitting out there thinking that legalizing same-sex "marriage" won't really affect you, think again.

It's not about tolerance. It's about recruitment.

Tammy Bruce - she of Lesbians who voted for Reagan fame - spends roughly half of 'The Death of Right and Wrong' denouncing GLSEN. A really disturbing read.

It's not just about recruitment. It's also about deliberately shredding (what's left of) the moral fabric that binds our society together.

If you destroy marriage (through acceptance of "shacking up", rampant divorce, and homosexual "marriage") then you destroy the family unit. If you destroy the family, then socialist government can step in to the void as the surrogate caregiver. Total socialist-fascism or communism is then an easy next step.

This is why the Left is pushing the homosexual agenda so hard. Homosexuals are simply another tool used by Leftists to attack America in their war against our Constitutional republic.

The description that Tammy Bruce (herself a lesbian) writes of the "transgendered" in her book The Death of Right and Wrong, alone, is worth the price of the book...

Tammy Bruce says several things that we aren't supposed to hear.

(A) They are going after children.

(B) Many leading gays and lesbians had a defining homosexual encounter as children or adolescents.

(C) The transgendered are often very messed up individuals.

Simply put... you don't love your children enough if you send them to public school.

Church school, home schooling or private school is the only way to educate our children.

Why? Because the public school system in America is a 'Federally mandated..., tax payer funded..., union controlled... jobs program' with education as a 'by-product'. I suppose it is a great place to work if you are a teacher or janitor. Great pay, great benefits, great retirement but education of children is NOT the number one goal.

Right on!

Public schools are sewers. ALL of them since ALL of them MUST go by LIBERAL guidelines.

Indeed. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. The Queering of Elementary Education has been a major part of the homosexual community's well planned and well financed propaganda campaign.
