The Humanist Mission of Our Schools.
I think the most important factor leading us to a
secular society has been the educational factor. Our
schools may not teach Johnny to read properly, but the
fact that Johnny is in school until he is 16 tends to
lead toward the elimination of religious superstition.
The average child now acquires a high school education,
and this militates against Adam and Eve and all other
myths of alleged history.
Humanist writer Paul Blanshard.
Extending State Control.
Humanists know that the future of our country rests
with our children. Therefore, in order to control the
future of our country, they must control the minds of
our children. And the easiest way to control our
children is to control the schools.
Radical left-wing writers, including Alexander Cockburn
and James Ridgeway, incessantly rail against
parental "interference" in schools, because, as they
openly acknowledge, "The Left can't survive politically
without a public school system to spread leftist
attitudes."[3]
The New Curriculum.
The future of any nation lies with its youth. So
corrupt them; since religion teaches moral virtue,
erode the churches and divert the young from religion.
Make them interested only in themselves. Get them
involved in drugs, alcohol, and sex. Get them addicted
to privileges and rights.
Vladimir Lenin's "Rule for Revolution" #1.
"Reading, writing and arithmetic" no longer figure
prominently in today's exotic public school curricula.
Children who attend public school will be compelled to
learn the following;
that homosexuality is a perfectly acceptable
alternative lifestyle;
.....SNIP......

Yes, I once taught a lesson that was false, (in math) eventually the proof was coming up with ridiculous congruencies. The bell rang and one student asked if the conclusions were suspect. (Only one) When they learned the truth, they thought it very wrong for a teacher to "lie" to the students. These were kids who badly needed to learn to think for themselves, but they were only in Geometry in High School, so I guess there was still time. (The proof divided by zero at an early stage, once this is done, you can prove many things that are untrue)
"Again, no matter how much misdirection you use, it's not about me."...You brought up the issue of children in school confronting homosexuals"
Control of schools.....it's in the topic.
" that homosexuality is a perfectly acceptable
alternative lifestyle;" Perhaps you missed that last line?
The very topic itself having raised the homosexuality issue, I merely asked the question how kids, in school, would confront this issue ....assuming they had no knowlege of what it is or is about if someone doesn't teach them.
You, rather than asnswering the question central to the whole topic asked what age?
Since were talking about school age children isn't the age implicent in the question?
"Yet that answer wasn't good enough for you,"
Thanks for proving the point. :-)
Since were talking about school age children isn't the age implicent in the question?
So your question about kids confronting homosexuals includes all grades, K-12? If not, at what age should kids, in school, confront homosexuals?
Unfortunately, my daughter's issue have to do with muscle coordination.
The professionals that deal with her have masters degrees.
I have never been able to show her how to get her to say her sounds. They have wonderful tricks to get kids to say their sounds. After 6 years of therapy for her, I know a few things, but nothing like they know.
I tried to teach my daughter how to jump rope. It never happened. After a few sessions at occupational therapy, the therapist had my daughter jumping rope.
I tried to teach my daughter how to write, and I couldn't do it. Writing took lots of work, but after a few years she has wonderful handwriting. The occupational therapist tried special paper, slanted work surfaces, special devices to add to her pencil, and all sorts of other tools to help her write.
I thank God for all of those professionals because they have given her a voice, and they have taught her to read and write.
I agree. I spent over $125K educating my kids up to K12. My current employers are a couple of 20 somethings and their writing skills are 9th grade. Before sending any e-mails out, I have to proof them.
Unfreekn believable.
That's really quite wonderful...I mean that, I'm not being sarcastic. There's nothing finer to a parent than to see his or her child prosper.
You are playing games.
"So your question about kids confronting homosexuals includes all grades, K-12? If not, at what age should kids, in school, confront homosexuals?"
Scuse me, could you point out where I said kids should confront homosexuals?

"You are playing games."
When people make assertions they can't or won't support the discussion if you want to call it that, does become amusing.
I see your wisdom in earlier walking away from this clown.
By the way, I'm not against homeschooling. However, sometimes it just isn't the answer.
I'd really like to see great public schools, private schools, and homeschooling.
I don't like my tax dollars going to a poorly performing school district.
When Germany emerged as a unified nation, the Prussian school system was enlarged. As Franz de Hovre wrote in 1917:
The prime fundamental of German education is that it is based on a national principle.... A fundamental feature of German education: education to the State, education for the State, education by the State. The Volksschule is a direct result of a national principle aimed at national unity. The State is the supreme end in view.
and:
As former teacher John Taylor Gatto writes:
A small number of very passionate American ideological leaders visited Prussia in the first half of the 19th century; fell in love with the order, obedience, and efficiency of its education system; and campaigned relentlessly thereafter to bring the Prussian vision to these shores. Prussia's ultimate goal was to unify Germany; the Americans' was to mold hordes of immigrant Catholics to a national consensus based on a northern European cultural model. To do that, children would have to be removed from their parents and from inappropriate cultural influences.

All this reminds me of Proverbs 26:4-5.
Save your kids. You can't save everyone else's.
