HERE'S another reason to keep my precious daughter away from the public schools: Childless eggheads who dictate educational policy think it's high time kids her age were indoctrinated in the ways of AIDS. Like hell. My child is a first-grader, thriving in an outrageously expensive private school. There, she is learning about arctic puffins and can run faster than most boys. This child is still an innocent - unschooled in the intricacies of procreation, death and incurable disease.
It would not be that way in a public classroom.
Faceless activists there want to add these words to the vocabulary of children her age - Virus. HIV. AIDS. Even cancer. Under an updated curriculum, all public-school students - starting in kindergarten! - are required to learn about the disease that we know is spread through unsafe sex, intravenous drugs and tainted blood.
But the first-grade learning guide, of which I have a copy, dances around the issues of sex and drugs while needlessly scaring the heck out of little kids.
Who will explain what he or she is not ready to know? As always, parents may "opt out," in writing.
But parents should demand that those who want to be included should "opt in" to the program - so as not to subject their children to embarrassment.
My child will learn about AIDS when she is ready. That day will certainly come sooner than I'd like. She is not a guinea pig for people with an agenda. My only agenda is to let her grow up. And keep her away from that trash heap known as public school. andrea.peyser@nypost.com
Sodomy laws enacted by our founding fathers stood for over two centuries until a USSC court ruling using foreign law as precedence struck down those laws.(by 1 swing vote)
You claim there's no homosexual agenda. Indeed there is. You've either got your head in the sand or you're in agreement with the sodomites. I'm inclined to believe the latter.
Whatever. Continue to wallow in your bigoted hatred.
Our founding fathers also upheld slavery ownership, it doesn't make it right. Unfortunately it took the deaths of over 600,000 Americans to set that injustice right.
Are you equating the civil rights of slaves and oppressed women to sexual perversion? Or are you equating heterosexuality with homosexuality i,e, sexual perversion?
First, let's get this out of the way...
I don't believe homosexuality is a "perversion." That is a subjective moral judgement based on the Bible. I believe religious leaders used to claim that oral sex between a man and a woman was a "perversion," and some still do!
So as long as you are stuck in your knuckle-dragging, neanderthal, Bible-thumping, hellfire and brimstone mindset, we're not going to agree on anything.
Pervert:
Noun
1. A person whose behavior deviates from what is acceptable especially in sexual behavior.
Perversion:
Noun
1. An aberrant sexual practice that is preferred to normal intercourse.
2. The action of perverting something (turning it to a wrong use); "it was a perversion of justice".
Synonyms within Context: Perversion
Sexuality:
Perversion, deviation, sexual abnormality; fetish, fetishism; homosexuality, lesbianism, bisexuality; sodomy, buggery; pederasty; sadism. masochism, sado-masochism; incest.

"Civil rights of gay people"!!??
Since when do agents of disease and immorality have civil rights?
Speaking of harted and bigotry, Check out your comment here..
So as long as you are stuck in your knuckle-dragging, neanderthal, Bible-thumping, hellfire and brimstone mindset, we're not going to agree on anything.
Seems you have a problem with conservative Christians. IMHO
I have a problem with ignorant asses. Evangelical Christians just happen to usually fit the bill.
Everybody has civil rights. EVERYBODY.
A) Ignorant of the gaystappo's agenda to promote the homosexualization of America.
B) Ignorant of the definition of perversion.
C) When it comes to Evangelical Christians and their aversion/opposition to perverted morals (homosexuality) you're a hateful bigoted ass!
I see that the ACLU is disturbingly well represented here today.
I may not like them, but at least I don't advocate stripping Evangelical Christians of their civil rights.
They can already marry someone of the opposite sex just like I can. They choose to want rights that nobody has. That would be "Special rights"
Not true. I do not support gay marriage, and that's not what I'm talking about.
Civil rights means equal protection under the law. Gays are discriminated against all the time- in the workplace, the housing market, and in estate planning. Unmarried couples are permitted to adopt in many states, but unmarried gay couples BY LAW are not permitted to adopt in the same states (Florida is an example). And in one of the oddest adoption laws, Mississippi allows single gays to adopt, but not gay couples.
Civil rights for gays is not about "special rights," it's about "equal rights."
Let's forget your platitude and not forget that it is activities rather than innate characteristics that spread the disease and that brokeback sexual activity and intravenous drug use are the most probable methods of transmission.
I just noted that you have been zotted. Welcome to reality
You promote the homosexual agenda on FR. Ban yourself from FR and you will be one step closer to realizing your theory of no homosexual agenda...
Civil rights for gays is not about "special rights," it's about "equal rights."
You are promoting the homosexualization of society on FR which is a leftist cause that should be given no platform on FR: You may be on the wrong Forum? What Free Republic is all about:
