A very important article by the son of Justice Scalia. Let's hope this is read by many.

The basic intellectual and legal error in the new approach coming from the "sexuality" fascists in the leadership of the gay and lebian movement is that the agenda is now a push for acceptance and not simply tolerance.

Tolerance does not require a change in your beliefs or a change in your values; it only requires a change in behavior towards others in public and on the job - simple respectful tolerance.

But tolerance is not and does not require acceptance and acceptance can truly only occur in your own beliefs, in what you think, in your own personally held values - in your mind.

So, in the framework of a proper understanding of our constitutional rights, how can, within those rights, any governmental entity demand "acceptance", except in an Orwellian "1984" sense. It cannot.

It could require tolerance - behavior - but it cannot rightfully impose that you accept what your own strong personal values tell you that you cannot accept. That is thought control.

And, this is the direction that the gay and lesbian activists have been taking their demands - in schools and in business. You could replace "gay and lesbian" with any race or ethnicity or religion or religious point of view and see that the objective lesson is the same - the government trying to dictate that people accept beliefs that they do not accept.

They are not seeking tolerance, they seek to make all of society conform to their opinion and they seek to outlaw all contrary opinion. That is not an approach that either seeks or accepts either tolerance or diversity. It seeks to establish and impose its own orthodoxy on everyone else.

It's OK to label except when it isn't.

There really wasn't all that much labeling in my highschool, though I understand that is NOT true of all schools.

Father makes an excellent point. Obviously it's important to the left, in their quest for a bold new world, to reinforce homosexuality.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL PING!

Here's an old thread, but the subject is timely. It's a good read.

This ping list is for the "other" articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. If you want on/off this list, please freepmail me. The main Homeschool Ping List by DaveLoneRanger handles the homeschool-specific articles.

Spot-on article. Just because an adolescent might have deviant sexual fantasies, does not mandate that that adolescent MUST succumb to a life of depravity thereafter. But such is what they teach kids today.

Truly pathetic.
