Lexington parent David Parker back in Concord District Court Tuesday morning, August 2. Parker’s lawyers continue to fight criminal trespassing charge. Seeking discovery requests from state. State seeking dismissal with probation and other restrictions. Town continues to ban Parker from all school property – he can’t attend school board meetings or vote! Demonstrators from both sides expected – gay activists and Lexington parents supporting Parker. Parker arrested by Lexington police on April 27 and spent the night in jail over parental notification about teaching homosexuality and transgenderism in his son's kindergarten class. WALTHAM, MA, August 1 -- Lexington parent David Parker will be in court Tuesday morning, August 2. His lawyers, led by Jeffrey Denner and Neil Tassel from the Boston firm Denner O’Malley, will find out if the state intends to cooperate with their discovery requests.
Parker was arrested on April 27 and spent the night in jail over parental notification about teaching homosexuality in his son’s kindergarten class.
Parker said on Monday that he and his family are distressed that the state and the town of Lexington continue to bar him from all school property in the town unless Parker requests and receives specific permission in advance. This includes Parker’s attendance at School Board meetings, parent-teacher meetings, and even voting on election day. The state apparently wants to dismiss the case with Parker accepting a period of probation, but without lifting his ban from school property. Parker maintains that he has not committed a crime.
At Parker's previous hearing, it appeared that Judge Robert McKenna seemed annoyed at Parker and his lawyers. From the front row of the courtroom the judge could be heard saying. "I'm very familiar with the case. What's so complicated about it?" -- apparently dismayed that Parker intends to fight the case rather than accept a plea-bargain.
Also at Parker’s last hearing, several gay activists came and held signs in an attempt to intimidate Parker and his supporters. They also followed reporters and attempted to get interviewed. It is expected that a number of parents from Lexington will be there to demonstrate in support of Parker and his family. Although Parker has gained support and sympathy across the state, homosexual activists in Lexington have conducted a campaign to discredit him in the local press.
”It’s absolutely outrageous that this could be happening in America,” said Brian Camenker, Director of Article 8 Alliance. “This is really scary. Our rights are disappearing every day.”
Date: Tuesday, August 2 Time: 9:00 am. Place: Concord District Court, Concord, MA 305 Walden St. (off Rt. 2 at Rt. 126)

Do you know if Mr. Parker plans to sue the town?
Go David go!! Stay the ground!
Makes home schooling look better and better.
Homosexual Agenda Ping.
This is an incredible case with which every one of you should acquaint yourselves.
It is very revealing to what lengths "gay" activists and their minions in the legal, juducial and educational systems are willing to go to further their fascist elimination of the freedoms of religion, parental rights and expression.
Freepmail me if you want on/off this pinglist.
The parent, Dave Parker, wanted notification about homosexual classes being taught in his son's kindergarten class, so he could keep his son out of class on those days.. The school said he had no rights to be notified and called the police and charged him with trespassing on school property. Now, I don't know about you but I will support this guy to the death. You can suit yourself.
Happy homeschooler bttt!
This is so tragic that it is beyond belief. I would want no one to teach my child about homosexuality, beastiality, rimming, or even anything near to it.
Children do not go to school to learn filth of this world.
We all learn about it too soon.
But the Bible does say that when Jesus comes, it will be as it was in the days of Noah, when God thought that the people of Sodom were not even worthty to live. We are reaching that point very quickly.
David Parker needs to file a federal lawsuit against the school system alleging their ban on him from school property disenfranchises him without due process of law. He ought to seek 7-figure damages. He needs to play hardball with these jamokes!
Ah, but Lexington is not part of America ... it is part of Massghanistan where Marty "The Shiek" Meehan and Turban Ted Kennedy and John al-Kerry bin Heinz reign supreme.
You got that right! I lived there for a couple of years. It is a beautiful town but it is filled with LIBERALS. It has a whole bunch of engineers who claim to be anti-war yet work on defense contracts. The women still wear Merrimenko dresses and sandals and pretend their husbands don't work on defense contracts..
