Dad on trial over homosexual book

A backer of the Lexington School District, Laura Tully, argued, according to WCVB-TV in Boston, "A 5-year-old who is coming to the classroom with two moms deserves to be in a classroom that includes books that show his family." Yes... and why stop there? The child whose parents are meth addicts should be likewise represented in the children's books. Maybe Richard Scarry can be brought back from the grave for that one.

How dare he stand-up to the thugs in the public education racket. Why should be able to determine how and when he wishes to teach his children about things like homosexuality. But seriously, I think that Mr. Parker's first step needs to be either find his son a nice private school, or homeschool the child.

Lexington is a ridiculous town. The Harvard goons who don't live in Cambridge go out there.

What about the child whose dad is a registered sex offender? Why should the child feel shame - include his family in schoolbooks, too.
Any what about the children whose mothers are "exotic dancers"? The kids need illustrated books of that.

"A 5-year-old who is coming to the classroom with two moms deserves to be in a classroom that includes books that show his family."

No he doesn't. If the school would adhere to academics instead of social engineering, this wouldn't be an issue. In all of my school days I don't recall ever discussing what makes up a family. That's not the reason we went to school, way back when.

The child whose parents are meth addicts should be likewise represented in the children's books.

And let's make sure that the little girl whose Daddy pays regular visits to her bed late at night is included too. Maybe the title could be something like, "Julie's Daddy Tucks her In", or "Julie and her Daddy Play House". And let's not forget a few of our culturally diverse friends. How about, "Hakim's Daddy has Two Mommies for Hakim"

Excellent point... and the latter is as socially acceptable as homosexuality~! Probably not much longer before the former is as well

:/

*shudder*

Y'know... it's one thing to be gay, its another brainwash kids...

[Fido969]

Or parents who are alcoholics or are members of organized crime? Shouldn't those children be made to feel "inclusive" too?

"Johnie goes home to an empty house and makes a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and plays with his Nintendo. Mom will be home at about 7 from her job as a waitress and Johnnie has to make sure there's cold beer in the fridge when she gets back, or there'll be a beating for Johnnie!

"" I wish Dad would get out of prison", Johnie thought as he remembered the good times he spent with his father - fishing, hanging around in bars, and even driving Dad home once when dad was too drunk to drive himself. That made Johnnie feel very important!"

It would certainly seem that a man who can afford to live in Lexington could afford to send his child to a school that would provide an education rather than an institution that provides only indoctrination. IMO

And what about the children whose mothers are "exotic dancers"? The kids need illustrated books of that.

Yeah. What you said. Uh, can I get one to, um, you know, check out to make sure it's ok?

I love the word "deserve". I think every child deserves a father and a mother. The fact that "adults" put themselves first and think they deserve their every indulgence justified is a sad statement about today's society. This man is a hero because he isn't just taking his child out of the school he is fighting the system. People need to be stirred up, stuff like this gets in via the backdoor into public schools and people are afraid to say anything. He is a better man than I because I know the limits of my temper.
I think it is crazy that a sexual disorder would ever be taught as normal in public schools but that is the world we live in. No one is responsible for anything they do and the only danger that is perceived is that parents might have undue influence on their own children.

[My Right Foot]

Or maybe children whose daddy is Larry King...

Or children who have been kept locked in cages or chained to iron bed-frames for years.

The list is endless.

ACK

Forget I ever said anything. I don't want to p!ss off the leather crowd downtown who might be reading this. I can't afford attorneys like the ACLU has.

Well said, Ma3lst0rm

"David Parker, of Lexington, spent a night in jail and was charged with criminal trespassing after refusing to leave a scheduled meeting with officials at the Estabrook Elementary School unless they gave him the option of pulling his child out of certain classes."

You've already got an option there, cowboy. It's called H-O-M-E-S-C-H-O-O-L-I-N-G.

Here's another article (actually an editorial) about Mr.Parker and the august school buearocracy in Lexington - with a very heated debate on the thread some of you might find interesting.

Oh, and there are a lot of links on the above thread to MORE articles - there a lot of 'em on FR.

That's one dedicated father! Unfortunately, this is really going to be on his permanent record. Hope he has his own business, because an arrest like that is probably going to screw up his credit reports and background checks for a long time.

Parker cannot drop off or pick up his children from school; attend his children's sports events or other school activities; meet with his children's teachers at parent-teacher conferences; attend or participate in school committee meetings; or even vote on election day at his local polling place, a public school.



WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAy out of line here. Their telling him he CAN'T VOTE?!?!?!?!?! He's not a felon. They can't do that.
He needs to yank his son out NOW!
