Countersue and charge civil rights and RICO violations based on conspiracy to infringe the rights of religious opinion and free speech.


Not to mention freedom of ones own concience.

It's not a teachers place to ask a little kid ANYTHING that personal! Or that age inappropriate to begin with.

They are really in league with the devil these people. I'll bet a lot of them aren't even homos, they just want to aid and abet, in every way available, the destruction of America.

You would be right. SOme are devout feminists.

It is up to parents to set curriculum through their elected Board Members. If the Board Members don't aquiesce to the desires of the parents, throw their asses out!


That is the way it should be yes, but the ACLU is forcing schools to have these videos viewed, and this is only one of them, there are others for older kids. They are forcing gay strait clubs as well. And days of silence, no name calling week, etc etc etc.

AFA is a group of lawyers, and very good ones. They won't throw anything away.

It is mostly the lesson plan that was to accompany the video. OF course they have tried to pull the lessons off the site. But everyone and their brother has a copy of it by now. Check Out Bykr bayb's profile if you would like to see what she found from a google cache search:

One of the more subtle tactics in the lesson plan, but in my opinion the most damaging, is the excercise where the children are told not to be uncomfortable around people whose race, ethnicity, religion, gender or sexual orientation is different from their own. Remember, this is for the youngest group of kids (kindergarten thru 2nd I believe.) Then the children lay on large pieces of paper on the flour. Once they are relaxed, the teacher takes a marker, crayon, or whatever and draws the shape of their body on the paper. Then each child takes their paper and fills in the details (with clothes, etc.) Then they use the drawings to discuss their bodies.

So much for teaching your children not to let anyone touch them that way, and to trust their instincts about people they think might try to harm them.

I wonder if these freaks will demand that AFA offer a pinch of incense to the emperor?

Could you ping me also if you come across lesson plans?

Dianna,

FYI - bykrbayb has collected most if not all of the lesson plans and the links can be found here: We Are Family Teaching Guide

OMGosh Bayb!

I homeschool my children- in part because of what I have seen in the school system regarding desensitizing our children to go against their instincts- and forcing conformity to things which I do not always support. I am not saying everyone should homeschool- I am just explaining why I have chosen to do so.

Besides it is better for all involved. I had an administrator explain to me, in a very nice way, I am their worst nightmare.. LOL.

And so I would be if I ever was made to deal with my children going thru such an exercise. My children are already tolerant of other people and understand that some people make choices which we may or may not agree with- and that people look different from each other and believe in an array of things which we may or may not believe in.

We talk about the fact that is their right to believe what they want to, to say what they want to and to love who they want to love- and they are still Americans with all the rights we have.

I will be the one to explain the birds and bees and the issues this brings up to them.

God help anyone who gets in my way of that.

You mean you don't let your friends touch your child's body, and teach your child to relax and enjoy it? Get with the program!
