I have a better idea, pull your kids out of the school. The ideology behind the poster will remain even if the poster is pulled down.
And that's why I send my 2nd grader to Catholic school, where her younger siblings will follow. If I didn't work out of the house full-time, I'd home school.
This reminds me of the lyrics from the Eagles:
"Well I'm a standin' on a corner in Winslow, Arizona. What a fine sight to see. It's a dyke, my Lord on a mountain bike, slowin' down to look at me."
Or something like that.
They probably slithered down the mountain from Flagstaff, Arizona (which only needs to remove one letter from it's name to reflect its new nature.)
"It seems, so far, from the people I've talked to that, as a Christian, I have no right to demand that [the pro-homosexual poster] be removed from the wall of the school," she says.
Well of course. Our judicial system is making laws to remove Christianity out of everything. Something has to take its place and it is posted on the wall in this school.
principal's email ssmithson@winslowsd.k12.az.us this school is a scholasticaly under performing school
;-/
It's amazing how we are all aghast at this poster and the fact that the walls are covered with lesbians and queers. This has been coming on for quite a while!

Doom on the trash that teaches and promotes such to "children".
The Mother says if it continues.
IF.
She is going to wait and see. She has a plan to pull her children out if.
Okay. Right. She must have a stack of ironing and laundry waiting for her, a bunch of cookies to bake, errands to run, Mom's bowling league to run.
She feels good about her plan.
She is going to cross that bridge when she comes to it again. She's going to wait and see. Just one more time, and she really means it this time. There had better not be a next time.
The Mother says IF.
Phone is ringing.
They'd better not let her see any of that again or then she will...
There goes the buzzer on the dryer.
Ah, they have taken the next step and instead of tolerance they demand acceptance.

Excerpts from "Queering Elementary Education"
"...Kindergartners are learning about "homophobia" as lessons about alternative lifestyles and homosexuality appear in America's elementary schools -- often without parental knowledge...
A Seattle school board member and official with the National School Boards' Association thinks third-graders are too young for a discussion of the pros and cons of homosexual marriage. "Third-graders should not be asked to contemplate something that deep and complex," says Michael Preston, chairman of the NSBA's Council of Urban Boards of Education. "I'm sure they should be allowed to marry, but I've come to that conclusion as an adult and it's not something I'd even care to think about as a third-grader."... "But you have to consider the age appropriateness of the subject matter. Young minds are sometimes like clay. We need to allow children to be children and not overly influence what they end up thinking about something." ..."
An excerpt from "Elementary school students witness gay marriages"
"A different sort of educational experience for a group of fourth- through sixth-graders in Northampton, Massachusetts.
The students from the Solomon Schechter Day School went to Town Hall today to witness the first day of legal gay and lesbian marriages in Massachusetts.
The students have been studying the civil rights movement. One of their teachers said today's proceedings offered a chance to see a bit of history in the making..."
An excerpt from "Queering the Schools"
"... Two videos come particularly highly rated by gay activists and educators as tools for making primary school queer-friendly. Both films strive to present homosexuality in a favorable light, without saying what it actually is. It’s Elementary, intended for parents, educators, and policymakers, shows how classroom teachers can lead kindergartners through carefully circumscribed discussions of the evils of prejudice, portrayed as visited to an unusual degree on gays and lesbians. In That’s a Family, designed for classroom use, children speak directly into the camera, explaining to other kids how having gay and lesbian parents is no different from, for example, having parents of different national backgrounds.
GLSEN even provides lesson plans for the promotion of cross-dressing in elementary school classes. A school resource book containing such lesson plans, Cootie Shots: Theatrical Inoculations Against Bigotry for Kids, Parents, and Teachers, has already been used in second-grade classrooms in California. A children’s play in the book features a little boy singing of the exhilaration of striding about “In Mommy’s High Heels,” in angry defiance of the criticism of his intolerant peers:
They are the swine, I am the pearl. . . .
They’ll be beheaded when I’m queen!
When I rule the world! When I rule the world!
When I rule the world in my mommy’s high heels! ..."
An excerpt from "Targeting Children - Part two: How the homosexual movement uses public schools as instruments of change"
"GLSEN activist and New York kindergarten teacher Jaki Williams said starting in kindergarten is a must, since children at that age are still developing their ideas about the world around them. Even at that age, she said, “the saturation process needs to begin.”
Williams, in fact, is a model teacher when it comes to this “saturation” process. She regularly initiates conversations with her children by reading to them such controversial books as Heather Has Two Mommies, Daddy’s Roommate, and One Dad, Two Dads, Browns Dads, Blue Dads. She also hosts a viewing of the video Both of My Moms’ Names Are Judy: Children of Lesbians and Gays Speak Out, produced by a San Francisco pro-homosexual advocacy group.
According to one writer for The Lambda Report, who infiltrated a 1997 GLSEN workshop, one former teacher admitted that changing the mind of a child required more than a one-time effort. She said she had to expose her children to a constant stream of homosexual words and images, because "It’s really a conditioning process."
An excerpt from "(Gay) School Days
"What would schools look like if they were run by homosexual activists? In California, parents are learning the answer.
PARENTAL ADVISORY: Portions of this article may be inappropriate for young readers.
"Marin County, just north of San Francisco via the Golden Gate Bridge, is one of the most affluent counties in the nation, with a median home price of $529,000. Home to U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer, it's also one of the most liberal. When Californians voted overwhelmingly for Proposition 22, placing the state on record against same-sex "marriages," Marin was one of only four counties to buck the tide.
Even so, Marin has its relatively conservative enclaves. Drive to the northernmost city of Novato (population 47,000), with its lower home prices and family-friendly atmosphere, and you'd think you were in a typical modest-sized American town. So when Greg and Lisa sat down to dinner one evening in late February and asked their fourth-grade son, Kenny, to tell them about his school day, they weren't ready for what they heard.
"We had an assembly today," Kenny said. "We learned that there are all kinds of families," including "two mommies" and "two daddies." He also shared some of the words he'd learned for the first time that day:homosexual, lesbian, faggot...
All the second- through fifth-graders at Pleasant Valley School had been called to an assembly, where they learned slogans like "I'm gay and it's OK," reinforced by various skits-like one in which Rapunzel cut her hair and ran away with her girlfriend. The show made an impact. "Daddy, am I a lesbian?" one third-grade girl asked. "I like girls better than boys." The group behind the assembly bore an innocent-sounding name, Cootie Shots. But it turned out to be an offshoot of Fringe Benefits, a theater group that gets public funds for "tolerance of diversity" performances in high schools and middle schools throughout the Los Angeles Unified School District. Now the group is targeting much younger kids, because-in the words of a longtime Fringe Benefits booster, Steven Hicks of the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) of Los Angeles-"It is imperative to begin addressing these issues in the elementary schools as early as possible."..."
"...LaBarbera asserts that, despite GLSEN's rhetoric about "safety," the organization poses a threat to children, especially boys who are uninformed about the serious health risks of the homosexual lifestyle. "GLSEN is manipulating the minds of innocent children," he warns. "Most parents are unaware that homosexual activists are working directly with educators to promote an extreme sexual and gender ethic. It is time for GLSEN's privileged status in America's schools to end."
Schools sued over pro-homosexual skits
Parents' orders to opt-out kids from 'Cootie Shots' overlooked
"The Pacific Justice Institute recently filed a lawsuit, on behalf of parents, against the Novato Unified School District in Novato, Calif., for authorizing pro-homosexual assemblies without any prior notice or parental consent...
The presentations, entitled "Cootie Shots," exposed elementary school children as young as seven to skits containing gay and lesbian overtures. "Cootie Shots: Theatrical Inoculations Against Bigotry" is a collection of plays, songs and poems written by members of Fringe Benefits Theatre, a coalition of theater activists who, according to their website, are "dedicated to building bridges between gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (GLBT) youth and their straight peers, teachers and parents." The United Teachers of Los Angeles and the Gay Lesbian Straight Education Network of Los Angeles created a classroom activity guide to accompany "Cootie Shots" which GLSEN sells on its website.
"Cootie Shots," according to its authors, seeks to "address acceptance and tolerance of gays and lesbians in an age-appropriate manner" and "celebrate diversity by presenting role models from many different races, classes, genders, abilities, sexual orientations, religions, ages, shapes and sizes."
News of the lawsuit comes on the heels of California Assemblyman Dennis Mountjoy's failed attempt to prohibit the promotion of homosexuality in public schools, which he sees as infringing on the rights of parents. Mountjoy especially takes issue with the "lewd and lascivious" materials used in schools to promote homosexuality. As WorldNetDaily reported last month, instructions on homosexual sodomy and a glorified account of lesbian pedophilia are among the instructional materials approved by the Los Angeles Unified School District for use in a "diversity" curriculum being presented to elementary through high school students. The materials were referenced by Mountjoy before the state Assembly education committee..."
Group pushes homosexuality acceptance for toddlers
A Redmond, Washington, organization of day care professionals has begun to advocate the normalization of the homosexual lifestyle to pre-school children in day care. The Childcare Exchange has two articles on its website exploring the possible methods to teach very small children to accept and practice homosexual behavior and cross-dressing.
One article, "Healthy Sexuality Development in Young Children," recommends allowing boys and girls to wear opposite sex clothing in "dramatic play centers," and "stories will be read that include a variety of family configurations." The authors recommend teaching day care children about masturbation saying, "Children who masturbate will be guided to understand that this is personal behavior and is appropriate for private time but not group time...."
In another article, "Developing Sexual Identity Through Play, Acceptance, Curiosity, and Tolerance," author Lynn Baynum describes a defining moment in her son's development when she told him that "today we use the word 'gay' to describe two adults of the same sex living together as a family."
George A. Rekers, Ph.D., research director for child and adolescent psychiatry at the University of South Carolina School of Medicine, writes in his article on childhood Gender Identity Disorder, that children are vulnerable to confusion in the development of their sexual identity. He writes of a certain "trend for certain vocal elements in education and the media in American culture to sharply question the legitimacy of many, if not all, sex role distinctions in the socialization of children."
Psychiatrist "Reassures" Parents About Lesbian Experimentation
"...The article describes a parent-faculty meeting at The Spence School, a private enclave overlooking Central Park, where several eighth-grade girls had declared themselves "bisexual." The school called in a Harvard-educated psychiatrist, Dr. Justin Richardson--himself a gay man--to reassure the parents that lesbian experimentation is common, and that it was too soon to know if they would be lesbians or heterosexuals.
At the all-girl Brearly School two weeks earlier, Dr. Richardson told a parent group to advise their daughters as young as nine years old that they, too, may have sex with other girls in the future. "It is a good idea," he said, "to mention that people have sex with members of the same sex sometimes, and that when they grow up they may have friends that do that--and that it may be something that they themselves do."
"A small but growing number of students," the Times article reported, "have come out at these schools, or at least say that bisexuality is stylish." Parents are concerned, and Dr. Richardson--"pedigreed, carefully-spoken, determinedly nonthreatening--has become the schools' gay issues consultant of choice" because he is "sane and clear," according to the Spence headmaster..."
An excerpt from "It's 1984 in Massachusetts – And Big Brother Is Gay"
"... A prominent psychiatrist says the sex-ed curricula at these schools can lower children "to the level of animals" and inflict lasting harm. "Massachusetts schools' systematic promotion of homosexuality and promiscuity fosters sexual confusion and experimentation," says Nathaniel S. Lehrman, former clinical director of the Kingsboro Psychiatric Center in New York. "They dilute and trivialize [the capacity for] faithful sexual passion which should [later] be the cement of these children's marriages. Unstable youngsters may become particularly vulnerable to homosexuals who actively recruit them."
There are teachers all over North America quietly mainstreaming homosexual behavior to children as young as 5 years old. As widely reported, on "Gay Days" classes are cancelled and students led to compulsory activities where homosexuals explain their "lifestyles." The mind-control techniques are straight from Soviet schools..."

It's Elementary: Gay and Lesbian Issues in the Classroom
A review of the video "It’s Elementary: Talking about Gay and Lesbian Issues in School."
Education Exchange, November/December 1998
"Often, portions of the video are shown in classrooms with children as young as kindergarten, a practice that Concerned Women for America has labeled "an aggressive new national campaign." A columnist with the New York Post characterized It's Elementary as "78-minutes of relentless propaganda to advance the acceptance of homosexuality, as distinct from tolerance."
