Local school officials in a suburb of Houston, Texas, are investigating how it was possible that a school police officer handed out calendars to students that featured explicit details on satanic and sexual rituals for every day of the month.

Parents in Pearland are demanding answers, according to a news report on KHOU-TV.

The school police officer who handed out the calendars was supposed to deliver a positive anti-gang message to the students last Monday, according to the report.

"September 20th is a 'midnight host' whatever that is," said one unidentified parent reading from the calendar. "You should have a blood-type ritual. September 23rd is the fall equinox – you should have an orgy. Activity group sex, any age, any sex."

The father did not want to be identified because he feared his daughter would be punished.

"They shouldn't be teaching the kids, at 12 years of age, a calendar of satanism. It's just not right," he said.

Pearland school officials say some 25 students at the junior high received the calendars.

"It clearly was a mistake," said Renea Ivy, Pearland ISD spokesperson. "We don't want it to happen again and so – it was not done with malice, it was not done to promote satanism in any way on the campus. It was just a mistake."

The officer said he got the packets from a anti-gang training course he took. Officials say he neglected to take out the adult material. The police officer remains on duty pending the outcome of an internal investigation.

"The Anti-Gang course was done by a religious group and included a lot of the typical hype of Satanism and included their ideas of "Satanic" material, including this calendar that they did themselves, and it got left in the material he handed out."

"and funded by a grant from the federal government. Our tax dollars at work. Never underestimate the stupidity of government funded special interests. Our tax dollars fund all sorts of ridiculous, or wasteful, and even harmful things."

The first comment was utter supposition by strategist...not based upon ANY fact whatsoever. The second comment (yours) only compounds the fallacy through hyperbole. Why are you trying to make some sort of connection between this outrageous piece of trash, religious groups, & our government using our tax dollars to support both? Lay the responsibility for this incident where it rightly belongs...on the incompetent cop who exercised p*ss poor judgement & distributed that trash to children.

BTW...If you want supposition that has a better than even chance of being fact, the majority of police departments put their rookie cops & those that are being punished for poor performance in charge of the DARE & Anti-gang programs. The chiefs of police usually don't give two sh*ts about the success or failure of these programs, but they get this GRANT MONEY, you see....

And how many people died as a result of the "North American psychosis" of the 80's and 90's?

Do I detect a bit of provincialism?

School distributes satanic, sex calendar:
Texas parents infuriated by explicit material

Wow. Unbelievable.

Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my Texas ping list!. . .don't be shy.
No, you don't HAVE to be a Texan to get on this list!

"The chiefs of police usually don't give two sh*ts about the success or failure of these programs, but they get this GRANT MONEY, you see...."

My point exactly. Even though DARE programs have done more harm than good, they are continued because they benefit special interests. Why are you defending these programs? They waste taxpayer money. They don't do any good. They are not constitutional.

you say "Why are you trying to make some sort of connection between this outrageous piece of trash, religious groups, & our government using our tax dollars to support both?"

Think about it a second. Who else besides a religious group would be interested in warning against satanism, and who else but the government would be stupid enough to fund it?

It may not be the case, but it makes more sense than any other scenario. We all know that it is impossible to underestimate the governments incompetence. They have shown it repeatedly with programs like DARE.

PS. if it wasn't government funded, it's unlikely police would be involved, or the program even allowed in public schools.

BTW, the DARE program in our schools is directly responsible for teaching kids about drugs and making them curious to try them. Many do after the DARE presentations. I have direct experience with this. I was subjected to DARE dogma from middle school through high school. I know more about drugs than I want to know.

You mean like Americans should look to our own actions as a cause for Muslim anti-American sentiment sweeping the Muslim world? [And into our tall buildings.]

[kassie]

Oh, this is just plain stupid.

[redgolum]

Let me get this straight.

They are fighting gangs by promoting satanism?

This raises a number of questions, to put it mildly. I'd like to see more details from a source other than WND.

I lived in Pearland for almost 20 years & still live in the area 6 miles down the road. We moved to what we believed to be a better school district. This incident was the topic of more than one local television news story. I watched it. The story and the quotes are correct.

Parents in Pearland, a very conservative district, are upset and rightly so. I've always felt that the programs that the local police present in the schools, like the DARE programs, do more harm than good.

Dr. Rick Scarborough was the pastor of First Baptist Church in Pearland for many years and he describes an assembly that he attended at his children's school that promoted in Pearland in his book "Enough is Enough". The district allowed a young, AIDS infected woman to give a lecture on "safe sex". While it may have been well intentioned, she was giving out incorrect information that could have caused others to become infected if they had followed her advice. If you have the opportunity to read the book it is well worth your time.

I complained to the school board about material that my daughter's Advanced Placement English teacher presented to the class for discussion when I was asked by my child to help her with her notes for the next day at class. The material was from a 1995 Time magazine on sexual behavior in America. It was totally inappropriate for high school study. When I mentioned it to several other parents whose children were in the same class and they had no idea what the kids were reading and discussing in class. I understand the teacher is no longer using the article in her classes.

If you love your children and grandchildren get them out of the government run schools.

At the end of the news segment when they announced this, they added that the Principal will NOW approve all materials handed out to students.

Isn't if funny how it takes something huge for a change to be made - isn't it just common sense that someone in the school sanction what is handed out to the students?

[Arrowhead1952]

they added that the Principal will NOW approve all materials handed out to students.

Funny you mention that. My daughter was an office assistant at HS last year, and she said the things that were being handed out to students had to go thru either the Principal or Superintendent. Even fliers of upcoming events were reviewed before they were handed to students. Of course, that is a very conservative school, unlike many others that allow any and everything.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

You are correct KAC, this was not something done by the school district - the Police Officer had a stack of handouts and about 25 (as reported) included a few pages that should NOT have been in there - they were training info for other police officers -

If WorldNetDaily.Com had an editor who edited, as in asking the writer "what the hell is this supposed to mean?" maybe we could understand this.

[TexasCowboy]

I can almost believe that this was a simple mistake, but that cop would have to be really stupid not to notice the difference in the material as he was handing it out.

Maybe Christians should look to their own actions as a cause for the anti Christian sentiment sweeping the country...

It's always possible but a VERY weak excuse to "blame the victim."

Christians are responsible for most of the (working) help that the poor get, helping the sick, visiting those in prison, aiding the widows and the orphans, etc. When hurricanes hit Florida the Christian groups were there before the Red Cross. Christians are active supporters of the military. They run schools. The list of the ways they do good is endless.

Homosexuals are trying to change the way we've recognized marriage for over 200 years, but Christians are vilified for trying to impose their opinions. Feminists want to redefine motherly care to include murdering the child but Christians are vilified for trying to impose their morality. Leftists are trying to remove time-honored references to the religious roots of our freedom but Christians are vilified for trying to blur the line between Church and state.

There isn't a backlash against Christians, Christian activism is the backlash against a culture that is attempting to self-destruct.

Shalom.

I have to agree with you there. I'm not of the "there ain't no such thing as Satanism" crowd, but this is Pearland, Texas we're talking about. It's not exactly a hotbed of liberalism or Satanism.

There has to be more to the story than what's published here.

For example, perhaps there is a Satanic group of students at the school and one blamed the cop when his/her mother found the calendar?

Shalom.

[ArGee]

Oh, you know, things that happened HUNDREDS of years ago, but still need to be used as Christophobic propaganda as if we still burn people at the stake.

Hey, they still feed us to the lions, don't they? Of course we still burn them at the stake.

What do they teach them in those schools?

Shalom.
