"Because of the same-sex marriage law people are treating this as a mandate to teach the youngest of children." - David Parker, parent of 6-year-old, arrested Apr. 27, 2005

You've heard that thesis before I think. Well, here is a case in point. Is it affecting Parker's marriage and family? One would certainly think so.

One would think the problem is what is taught to 1st graders, and whether it is appropriate, rather than the institution of homosexual marriage. Having said that, at some point, the matter will be discussed. It is inevitable. I don't really think the mission of secondary schools however is to teach a PC curriculum. They are doing a poor enough job as it is with the basics, and really don't have time to branch out. In any event, I found that I was perfectly capable of making my own mind about stuff, irrespective of what teachers taught. In fact, if the "teach" was too pushy, and just arid opinion, I pushed back. I enjoyed pushing back. It gave me pleasure. I enjoyed making the teachers uncomfortable. I was a handful back then, hard as it may be to believe, I really was. :)
