[Paleo Conservative]

Pro-homosexual activists contend that our schools have large numbers of students who are (or are perceived by their peers to be) gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgendered

Oh yes, there are large numbers of students who have undergone sex change operations.

[avile]

1906-" the hand that rocks the cradle controls the world"

2006-"the hand that writes the public school textbooks controls the world"

[caisson71]

Parents have to start yelling and screaming about this.

[Refinersfire]

One answer.. "Parents have to start yelling and screaming about this."

Better Answer.. Home School...

[spanalot]

Check drudge today - some subhuman is marketing "ho" clothes for infants - something like "I'm a junior pimp" and "My Mom's a MILF"

They should string these people up.

[raybbr]

Parents have to start yelling and screaming about this.

In my discussions with co-workers about schools and their pracitices it always amazing me how willing they are to let the schools decisions reign. Very few are willing to challenge anything the school says or does.

[gondramB]

>>Oh yes, there are large numbers of students who have undergone sex change operations.<<

Apparently they use a broader definition.

[HoosierHawk]

Check drudge today - some subhuman is marketing "ho" clothes for infants - something like "I'm a junior pimp" and "My Mom's a MILF"

What's a MILF?

[Jim Noble]

If you don't know, trust me, you don't want to.

[HoosierHawk]

Well, I googled it. You were right.

And these are clothes for children. And adults buy them.

[little jeremiah]

CCF - if you post a homosexual agenda themed article, if you put "homosexual agenda" as keywords and ping DBeers then everyone will get to see it more easily. THanks for posting this.

[little jeremiah]

Looks like a good summary.

[little jeremiah]

Just read the whole thing.

Anyone who doesn't see the grave danger as described is choosing the dark side.

[Alouette]

Gay indoctrination at the expanse of the "3 R's"

And we wonder why high school kids can't find Louisiana (never mind Iraq!) on a map.

[DBeers]

Homosexual Agenda Ping!

If you oppose the homosexualization of society
-add yourself to the ping list!

To be included in or removed from the
HOMOSEXUAL AGENDA PING LIST,
please FReepMail either DBeers or DirtyHarryY2k.

Free Republic homosexual agenda keyword search [ Add keyword = homosexualagenda to flag FR articles to this ping list ]

Indoctrinating impressionable school children with pro-homosexual beliefs is an easier way of changing public attitudes than persuading adults.

Yes -it is much easier to corrupt the innocent...

[David Allen]

Do you realize how few men work in public education any more? It's run by women, and there's a strong lesbian influence in the running of public schools in major cities in America. In California, it's out of control. Local district need to take back control of the districts.

They treat boys like they're inferior members of the species, and want to medicate them when they don't act enough like girls.

[Aquinasfan]

a survey by the American Association of University Women showed that 83 percent of all girls and 79 percent of all boys report experiencing physical intimidation or sexual harassment at school.

The best thing about school was getting out. They'll get my kids over my dead body.

And anyone who doesn't believe that schools are indoctrinating children into support for special rights for homosexuals simply doesn't want to know.

I think that's generally human nature. Jesus called us sheep for a reason.
