We, as conservatives, need to get the Federal government out of our local classrooms, not farther in. Federally, we need to insist on strict constructionists on the Supreme Court, to start reining in the ultra-libs lower down in the system.

We need to insist that Congress REMOVE FEDERAL FUNDING from the ACLU. It has outlived its usefulness.

And locally, we need to be the voices that are heard at school board meetings. This year, the father of a gay boy insisted on pushing gay-ed in the classrooms of Montgomery County, MD (just outside of DC and bluer than blue). Fortunately, the curriculum they wrote was so egregiously bigoted, including naming which Christian churches were bigoted about homosexuality and which weren't (such as Episcopal) that even the judge had to declare it discriminatory!

A group of parents tried to have the curriculum committee include information from ex-gays, which the pro-gay faction barred from consideration. This spurred the traditionalist parents to sue, and as noted above, the judge had to agree. It was a particular victory because the area is so extremely liberal; evidently some things just go over the line.

What I am thinking is that Blue counties pay money to GLSEN which then uses it in its POLITICAL efforts in outher counties.

This way GLSEN's seminar income is defunded nationally.
