"District figures show 105 of 730 middle school students opted out of the training video and 145 of 971 high school students did likewise."
Seems alot of kids actually watched the video. Do you think it changed their core values on the subject, or did they go home and discuss it with their parents? Don't fear the ACLU. Fear your own lack of involvement in your children's lives. A one hour video is not going to change the results of solid parenting.
thanks but no thanks -zero tolerance.
P.S. Welcome to FR! I noted you have not commented either way regarding the election results. Do you feel our overwhelming victory and mandate with subsequent legislation will contribute to curbing homosexual agenda issues such as this one?
It's not just a one-hour video -- homosexual tolerance and exposure is permeating the whole curriculum, especially in places such as Massachusetts.
Parents could also check out required reading book lists. In many schools, there are plenty of books with a homosexual theme running through them. Kids are getting hit over the head with it. Students are told to "read the trash" or they won't graduate, or at least that's what one parent wrote on another website, this after parents complained about the choice of books offered to their kids and got absolutely nowhere.
How many parents are willing to go down to the school and actually threaten the board that if they don't go along with the majority of parents, they will pull their kids out en masse? It's very effective (I've seen it done)if enough parents have the guts to do it and the school wakes up to the realization that they truly will do it.
Don't underestimate the power of advertising. If ads didn't have any effect, billions of dollars would not be spent by advertising companies.
And pro-homosexual "training" does not just include a video. You think there isn't or won't be any followup on this? Assemblies? Special guests to teach the kids more stuff? Come on. Ove the last 15 years I've been keeping my eye on the homosexual agenda, schools have been a target for the homosexual activists. Assemblies, special Queer day, transvestites and transsexuals in the classroom, here in CA it's Planned Parenthood in the classroom glorifying the "gay" life and condemning the kids who don't agree, and on and on.
It's indoctrination, it's not just one hour.
I do not want my children to be exposed to any deviant behavior at a young age. Indoctrination into a lifestyle starts with getting familiar with it and openly discussing it. That is what the ACLU wants--parents discussing deviant behavior with their children.
Children do not have the maturity to handle an issue that is so emotionally laden. By exposing it to them at a young age, they learn that the possibility of that behavior exists and people participate in it. It makes it become a "normal" thing and another possible lifestyle. Confusion reigns--especially in young boys about their sexuality and the knowledge of homosexuality will make it become an option for them.
The lifestyle is learned in most cases, and the first thing is to expose young kids to the concept and the idea--so it removes some of the natural aversion to the lifestyle.
