I just don't know what to say. This father is trying to protect his son from the extremely liberal and pro-homosexual agenda being taught in the school - BUT, why not withdraw his child from the school and enroll him in private school or home school?

Then again, maybe he's not in a position to do that?

One other comment - I find it very convenient that the trial would be postponed - with school just getting good and started. Let's just put off the issue....thus nothing changes, and the homo-agenda rolls forward.

By the way - how would any of you handle the school having a "no trespassing" order against you - thus you could not even drop off or pick up your child from school? Any school that doesn't allow me on campus is not a school that my child will attend - period.

I agree, but I don't think it would do any good since it is a public school. I don't think they would care to much of someone taking there child out of there school since they would not lose any money.

Certainly one solution is to pull your child out of the public schools, but not all parents can afford to.

Furthermore, why should he have to do so? He pays his property taxes, which support the public schools. Why should he be persecuted in this way for trying to prevent his son from homosexual brainwashing?

Most schools permit parents to opt their kids out of sex-ed classes, because they realize that these classes can be controversial and they prefer to avoid controversy. Surely the same applies in this case.

It might be better to fight back against this political madness in our schools, rather than pull out, as long as we are paying large tax bills to support these schools.

If his precint's polling place is located in the school, I'm not sure how they could enforce a no-trespass order like this. I would think there would be Constitutional issues if the school made an administrative decision to disenfranchise him.

Well, perhaps he would like to influnce what is done with HIS money?

It shows just how mean spirited and hateful the homosexuals and their supporters of the left really are when then are exposed, as has been the case here and provides yet another example of how those that demand the most tolerance are the least tolerant of all. They are truly a cancer in our society.

Who is on trial here? Was the father arrested for something? The article is quite vague.

The trial of Massachusetts parent David Parker, which was originally scheduled to take place today (September 21), has been postponed. The Lexington man was arrested in April after he attempted to get his son opted out of homosexuality discussions in school.

Diversity and Tolerance bump!

It looks like the schools is in a no loss position here. No pain for anyone except the father.

They have unlimited funds, no one will lose their job, or even be demoted.

Unless these types of lawsuits (and there are a satchel full) begin to go for big dollars they will fought over and over again. No one but us will pay any attention to how they come out.They need to tie $10 million to this.

What exactly did the father do that got him banned from campus? I can't imagine they did this just because he called them or wrote them a letter to try to get his son out of a class.

Homosexual Agenda Ping.

And the saga continues. Kind of ironic that Massachusetts, originally the colony founded by the Puritans of such stout morals that we'd be scared of them today, is now notorious for being the most pro-homosexual state in the Union.

Freedom of religion has turned into freedom of perversion.

Just in case anyone wants to know more, the above links for your reading pleasures.

Please freepmail me AND DirtyHarryY2K if you want on/off this pinglist.

Note: Most likely Mr.Parker and his wife could have just taken their son out of school. Or maybe they couldn't - maybe they both need to work. But even so, maybe the Parkers aren't happy that all the children who go attend the schools in Lexington (and no doubt most or all of the pulic schools in Mass) are being indoctrinated that "gay is good". Maybe, unlike many others, they aren't content to just draw the curtains and feel safe and not worry that others are climbing into the handbasket.

When the world is turned into a moral toxic wastelant, it affects everyone.

Why should this guy get smacked with property taxes and then with private tuition? He has a right to expect that his taxes will educate his child and that means reading, writing and math. Not some BS bogus cultural thing that some pervert holds dear. That's out of their scope and I hope he kicks their arses in court!

The pro-homosexualagendaites are postponing the trial until the man's son has been fully indoctrinated and it's too late to make any difference.

"But at the same time, the district attorney involved in the case is running for State Attorney General. Camenker feels the D.A. does not want to make "a big deal" of this case."

Believe me, the above is also a reason for the postponement as well.

"get his son opted out"

I may have missed some thing just how did he try to opt out the kid.Did he arrive and become hostile or defensive in the eyes of liberal school office staff.A staff the responds in lock step to the mind set of the community and no matter how it played out it would be just that.
If so they are using that for the no Tresp ord.

Why should Christians abdicate the public square and withdraw into some dhimmi ghetto ? Why should we not demand that our principles be respected in public education ?

No one is asking the schools to teach religion. Just not to treat it with open contempt.

You ask some good questions. The child is in kindergarden. Why don't they just remove him from the school?

Mr. Parker was transferred to MA with his company. He hasn't lived in MA that long. I have forgotten what he does for a living, but it isn't exactly big bucks. I'm not sure he can afford to send his child to private school. My feeling is, it's the principal of the thing. This shouldn't be going on in the nations schools, it's not about "safe schools", as the activists claim, and I am pretty sure I read that he feels strongly, that this should be made widely public. The children of MA and the children of America, are at stake, not just his own.

He made no threats, he was not combative in the least, in fact he was very polite. But firmly stated, after months of trying to get answers from this school, and getting the run around, he wasn't leaving to let them give him the run around again. I applaud Mr. Parker, it's about time SOMEONE stood up to these activists! I only wish every parent in MA did, instead of being more interested in just going with the flow to keep the status quo.

I clicked the link you provided within the article.

There is no question they are seeking to indoctrinate these children. It is obvious in the book the kindergardners are given in school.
