After Lexington resident David Parker exercised his statutory right last year to be notified in advance of classes about homosexuality at his son’s kindergarten class at Estabrook Elementary School in Lexington so that he could request that the boy be excused from attending them, his son (who is now in first grade) was surrounded this month by a group of students during recess, receiving multiple blows to the chest, stomach and genital area. The Parker family has been the object of constant ...

I wonder if the local teacher's union is behind this.

Sounds like the kid needs CCW on school campus and the school/teachers need to be sued into poverty for failing to protect the kid.

[somniferum]

That's what liberals mean when they talk about tolerance.

[sionnsar]

The Parker family has been the object of constant harassment in a campaign led by a lesbian activist, Meg Soens

"Tolerance" in a nutshell.

David Parker ---- The Cobra?

Why on earth would this dad still keep his son in that school?

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Yes but he wasn't beat up for the right reason, so we can't care.

[ClearCase_guy]

I'm all for fighting the good fight, but this guy needs to pull his child out of public school. Other beatings will occur. And the boy will grow up blaming his father. Mark my words.

...classes about homosexuality at his son’s kindergarten class...???????????

[Sgt_Schultze]

Sounds like a Hate Crime.

[Arm_Bears]

A graphic illustration that all of the hand-wringing about "bullying" is yet another liberal crock.

This is totally disgusting behavior from a group of 1st graders, obviously encouraged by their parents, and everyone of these parents needs to be charged with child abuse and conspiracy.

This couldn't be more shameful. There is TONS of info about this here: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/1649458/posts?page=5 (post 177 is a com plete timeline). Everyone really needs to email everyone they know about this. ANd Rush and Hannity and Levin BIG TIME need to talk about this. Please email them and ask them to pick this up. These good conservative people need the help of the new media BIG TIME!

This poor little boy does not deserve any of this. He does not deserve to be exposed to the innocence destroying garbage from the homosexual activists. He does not deserve to be beat up in first grade. He does not deserve to be sent to this school. He deserves a chance at a real education.

[Stone Mountain]

Is it possible he was beat up for other reasons? I don't see kindergardeners getting so upset over an issue they have no concept of understanding or caring about at that age.

Time for all parents to take their kids out of government schools, they are becoming nothing more indoctrinating numbskulls.
California is just as bad, we have AB606, AB 1056, AB 1437, all of which are indoctrination to homosexuality, bi-sexual, transexual, and on and on

For those Freepers who are unfamiliar with the town of Lexington,Massachusetts (apart from the historical events), all you need to know is that it's a town that's *chock full* of Porche SUVs with Howard Dean and Dennis Kusinich bumper stickers.

And on top of that,I wouldn't be at all surprised if the Town Meeting (the "City Council") has declared it to be a "nuclear free zone".

[tobyhill]

It may have been for other reasons but it's been the parents of these kids encouraging this sort of behavior and they need to be held accountable for raising bullies.

For one thing that's the only school in the town, and his job had just moved him there to that town. Most Americans couldn't aford to just pick up and move again and find a new career. The school is in volation of state law by refusing to inform the parents of this material and give them the option to opt out. A full history of this is here http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/1649458/posts?page=5 in post 177. This is not the parents fault. There was no reason to think a dozen kids would gang tackle his child just because he was insisting the school obey the law and opt his child out of homo material in classes. This little town is a little brown shirted nazi liberal town, as pointed out by some who have been there. It's an uber-liberal vestige.
