You could have heard my yelling if I had been at that school. I have been against public un -education since the 1970's and will continue to fight it. Home schooling or private schooling is the only answer to our government run schools.
I saw the video, it would be a cold day in H*** when I school superintendent could prevent me or any parent from droping off/pickingup my child from school. that takes a lot of guts to do that.
Dunno--I was just speculating on what the meaning of "ten seconds" was, and listing the things it would come into my mind to do.
When I was a kid, many many long time ago, kindergarten was not required, and all kindergartens were private. As a result, even in a small town, there was competition, and the threat to yank a kid out directly affected the kindergarten teacher's pocketbook.
Now that kindergarten is required in most (if not all states), and is "public," parents and their wishes don't count for much.
The tresspass is a red herring.
The principle simply refused a demand that a father be told about sexual material his CHILD was being exposed.
The principle did not want to deal with HUNDREDS of parental demands to not have their children exposed to homosexual material. Then the converse of GLSEN demanding children be taught homosexual sex.
If anything, this book will now become the litmus test, are other parents at the school going to send certified mail demand letters?
I bet the public schools will adopt a stigma system of putting an anti-homosexual material letter in the permanent file of all students. Anything to protect the sexual recruiting right of homosexuals at the expense of children.
Sometimes tresspassing is just tresspassing. There are proper ways to deal with this kind of thing. The laws aren't there just for people who don't agree with us. We feel we are above the law, watch what happens.
GENERAL LAWS OF MASSACHUSETTSCHAPTER 71. PUBLIC SCHOOLS Chapter 71: Section 32A Sex education; policy regarding notice to parents, exception Section 32A. Every city, town, regional school district or vocational school district implementing or maintaining curriculum which primarily involves human sexual education or human sexuality issues shall adopt a policy ensuring parental/guardian notification. Such policy shall afford parents or guardians the flexibility to exempt their children from any portion of said curriculum through written notification to the school principal. No child so exempted shall be penalized by reason of such exemption. Said policy shall be in writing, formally adopted by the school committee as a school district policy and distributed by September first, nineteen hundred and ninety-seven, and each year thereafter to each principal in the district. A copy of each school district's policy must be sent to the department of education after adoption. To the extent practicable, program instruction materials for said curricula shall be made reasonably accessible to parents, guardians, educators, school administrators, and others for inspection and review. The department of education shall promulgate regulations for adjudicatory proceedings to resolve any and all disputes arising under this section. Return to:

Why did the principle refuse such a simple request? Does not Mass. have laws regarding parental consent to sex education?
Why are kindigardners being subjected to sex education?
Homosexuality is only about sex? About a man playing with another man's penis or a woman playing with another womans vagina. There is ZERO reason to expose todlers to such material.
What leg does the principle believe their were going to stand upon? if anything the principle guaranteed a lawsuit. Then again the principle might be a homosexual.
Now all the homosexuals leap out of the closet and declare that orgasms from sexual activity with members of the same sex are nto realllly "sex" subject to parental notification.
Homosexualy behavior does not produce children, they have no say on how children are sexually educated.
Dude, he had a scheduled appointment with the Principal to discuss his son, a student in that school. He can not have been tresspassing.
You just routinely let people who come to your place for business meetings hang around even after the meeting is over? Suuuuure you do.
And the part that says when a meeting doesn't go the way the parent likes, he gets to sit there forever is where, exactly?
We have used this in our Sunday School class and based a Sunday service on the idea that "Families Valued" are not all plain vanilla. An excellent book to validate YOUR family's configuration.The name of the game is VALIDATE!
Well, thats begging for an answer to who decides when the meeting is over, the employee or the employer. Now which is which. IOW's who do the bureaucrats work for?

I own my place and my business and I am the employer. When I tell my employee the meeting is over, it's over. Now the question remains, who do the bureaucrats work for?
But really that's neither here nor there in the long run. If the guy was exercising his right to be civilly disobedient that's fine withme. It has shed light on dogmatic educrats who think the law doesn't apply to them.
Now tell me again, who works for whom in the public education system? Which fellow contributes to the other fellows paycheck?
Incredible. And only four reviews of this book. All of the reviews seem to like it. What is all the controversey? I mean, if the reviews are this favorable, what is up with this man? (Sarcasm)
You were going to ask why I posted the relevant Massachusetts law? Perhaps because the school boards refusal to abide by it ended in the arrest of a fellow citizen by the state.
As for victimhood, it's not my bag. I take lifes up's and down's as they come.
But I'm sorry you're leaving, I was hoping to educate you on the law involved, who employs public educrats and parental rights in general.
Maybe next time.
I think that "Darkwolf" might be a sheep in wolf's clothing. ;-)
