Liberals in Lexington, Mass., have taken to beating up the 7-year-old children of their political opponents.
This disgusting tactic should be featured on the front pages of every newspaper across the nation, yet you've heard nary a word about it.
Here are the specs:
A number of months ago, as first reported by yours truly, Superintendent Paul Ash decided to have his second-grade teachers begin reading a "fairy tale" about two princes getting it on homosexual style to be read in the classrooms under his direction. The book was called "King and King."
In reaction, parents from the Estabrook School decided to plead with Ash as to whether this book should be allowed. The all-powerful Ash laughed and went on his way.
Somewhat disheartened by this response, the parents then made the completely over-the-top request of being notified when such material would be presented in the classroom – especially if it knowingly violated their conscience and their religious convictions.
Growing somewhat angry, the all-powerful Ash shot the parents a verbal middle finger by retorting, "Estabrook has no legal obligation to notify parents about the book. We couldn't run a public school system if every parent who feels some topic is objectionable to them for moral or religious reasons decides their child should be removed. Lexington is committed to teaching children about the world they live in, and in Massachusetts same-sex marriage is legal."
This profane sort of arrogance didn't sit well with one of the parents by the name of David Parker. He went to the school to discuss it directly with Ash. When Parker refused to leave without being heard by the all-powerful Ash, he was arrested. Remember, Parker's only request was to be notified when homosexuality or transgenderism was to be discussed.
Word spread amongst the liberal activist groups around the area. Nasty letters began to be written to local newspapers in an effort to get Parker to back down. When that didn't work, a nasty website was created to spread the anti-Parker venom via the Internet and rally the call to other activist groups nationwide.
On the day of Parker's hearing, the Ash/Nasty coalition turned out dozens of adults to demonstrate hate-filled nastiness against Parker as he entered and exited the courthouse – all in an attempt to get him to shut up. The nasties even convinced the school district to post anti-Parker newspaper stories on the bulletin boards throughout the schools as another means of intimidation.
None of it worked!
Instead, on April 27 Parker and another family from the school district filed a federal civil-rights suit against the school district. This made Ash and the other nasties even angrier, and some of them decided to get even.
At the courthouse hearings and many of the protests outside Parker's home, the nasties had used children to hold up hateful signs and demonstrate alongside their nasty parents. They also recruited young children to participate in angry anti-Parker demonstrations outside the school and to engage in letter-writing campaigns.
But on May 17, they crossed the line.
That was the day that 10 of these thug-kins grabbed David Parker's 7-year-old son, dragged him behind the corner of the school, well out of sight from school officials, and proceeded to punch him in the groin, stomach and chest, before he dropped to the ground when they then kicked and stomped on him. Several of the alleged thug-kins were children of the adults who had been protesting Parker, several of them not even in the same class as Parker's child. It also needs to be pointed out that May 17 was a targeted date because that is the anniversary of changing the marriage definitions in the state of Massachusetts to include homosexual unions. Emotions among many activists were running very high on that day.
The school district "investigated" and did determine that the attack was pre-meditated. Shockingly, they decided no punishment necessary for the 10 thug-kins who were serving as political hit men for the activists in Lexington.
All of this happening because one father wished to reserve the right to teach his own family's faith-based views on sexuality.
I support the lawsuit David Parker is bringing against Ash and the Estabrook School District. Standing up is always the right thing to do. His legal fees are growing, and if you are interested in making a donation to help – as I have – I would encourage you to. I would also encourage you to drop an e-mail to Paul Ash or place a phone call – either way, it is obvious that Ash believes that he is unaccountable to the parents of his district. Paul Ash's e-mail address is pash@sch.ci.lexington.ma.us. His phone number at the school is (781) 861-2550.
It's also very sad that Ash's compadres have sunk to the level of assaulting the 7-year-old child of David Parker in their attempts to shut him up.
But then again, liberals don't believe in absolutes, morality or the law – so why should we be surprised?

Sounds like North Korea up there.
AS if just dealing with the cold weather in Mass. wasn't hard enough...
"Ash" (Alert) is a familiar name to old time freepers.
That's why we need school choice, not to mention a good long jail term for the thugs that use children to do their dirty work.
Someone should take this man for a walk and beat the living daylights out of him.
I hate people like this.
Well well well. Looks like the homo demons felt threatened that day and decided to manifest.
So much for "tolerance," eh?
Private School!
Dr. Ash has released a press release on the topic: http://lps.lexingtonma.org/
I swear that the day will come in the culture wars of America that conservatives will leave our urban areas in droves, leaving the cities over to these crazies to become sodom and gommorah!
Have school officials lost their minds? I can hardly wait to read about the next school board election in Lexington, Mass., the historic home of minutemen who have become 60 minutes men. Only the gays will be allowed to run.
They don't have cold weather in Massive2shitts.
The child who did the hitting was sent to the assistant principal’s office and while talking with her acknowledged his behavior. As a result, he filled out a “think sheet,” to reflect on his behavior and choices, missed recess on two days, and wrote an apology. In addition, the classroom teacher called both sets of parents and a class discussion was held about not hitting and speaking up when there is a problem on the playground.
You can bet that if the beaten kid was one of the gay activists' kids, and the beating kid was one of the kids whose parents have sought to opt out of Ash's program of gay/pedophile recruitment, there would have been no "think sheet" and "two recesses in the penalty box" involved.
By the way, Ed.D's shouldn't be called "Doctor" -- education grad students do work that's on approximately a high-school level. Most Ed.D's can't even write on that level.

"Bang"
Here are two more links on this story. MassNews has been on this from the very beginning. This story also identifies the (Adult) ringleaders of the attack on David Parker's son.

Another good site is MassResistance, which is Brian Camenker's. Camenker brought the state-sponsored Fistgate pedo recruiting bash to light, which has caused him to be dragged endlessly through the courts by waspy, litigious queens.

For anybody else... the answer probably is, get the hell out of Massachusetts. It's a lost cause and as the gays stream in, looking for a supply of preteens indoctrinated in NAMBLA's principles by creeps like "Doktor" Ash, the rest of us had better stream out.
Maybe I will have gay sons someday, but if so I would like them to make the decision themselves and not have it made for them by the "Gay-Straight Alliance" at the Estabrook School or one of its many loopy-left clones.

Frankly something similar needs to happen to Superintendent Paul Ass.
Odd you should say this. I usually refrain from saying so in public, but throughout my life I've noticed that most Ed.D's can't pour pee out of a boot with the instructions written on the bottom. To me, an Ed.D is almost like wearing a T-Shirt that says, "I'm Incompetent". Lately I've noticed a couple of competent ones, which almost amazes me.
Apologies to any FReepers who may hold the degree. I'm sure you're competent. It's just that most of the ones I've seen aren't.
This story is phony and has already been debunked. The kid was beaten up by his friend and it had NOTHING to do with the father's gay stands. I hate LIARS on any side.
Well, thanks for the links. /sarc
Child's Altercation at Lexington's Estabrook School"
Contrary to a statement released on June 14 by Brian Camenker of MassResistance, an altercation that involved David Parker's son at Lexington's Estabrook School was totally unrelated to his father's activism. Lexington C.A.R.E.S. views the accusations in the MassResistance press release as baseless, meaningless and without merit. This is nothing more than another publicity stunt by Brian Camenker.
Dr. Paul Ash, Lexington Superintendent of Schools, says, "The school department is conducting a thorough investigation. The safety of all children is our utmost concern." A statement is expected after the investigation is complete.
Staff and parents at Estabrook School have related the following account of what happened on May 17.
A classmate, who is a friend of Mr. Parker's son, was mad at him because he sat in someone else's seat at lunch. At recess, the boy went over and started punching him. Other children stood around and watched. The playground aide noticed a cluster of children and headed over. She was met half way by a girl who ran to get help. The aide soon arrived and broke up the fight between these two 7-year-olds. Mr. Parker's son indicated to the aide that he was not hurt and that he did not want to go to the nurse.
The classmate who started the fight was brought into the assistant principal's office to write a "think sheet". He had to write down what he did wrong, what he could have done differently and how he could make it up to his friend. He also missed two recesses and wrote an apology to Mr. Parker's son. Mr. Parker's son wrote back "that's OK. You can still be my friend."
That afternoon the teacher discussed the issue with the entire class using the Open Circle format. At that time both boys had their arms around each other and were friends again. The teacher called both sets of parents and everyone seemed to be satisfied with the outcome.
Mr. Parker's son subsequently went to the other boy's house for a play date. The Parkers never contacted anyone at the school including the principal, assistant principal, nurse or teacher to say their son had been injured or that they were dissatisfied with how things had been handled. They also never contacted the school superintendent or the police to say their son had been "assaulted".
The MassResistance press release also stated that editions of the Lexington Minuteman newspaper with front page stories related to the Parker case were being prominently displayed in the Estabrook School library. The Estabrook librarian has said that the Parkers had been to the school library looking for old copies of the Lexington Minuteman newspaper. She directed them to a pile of newspapers that were on a stand above the view of young children.
It is our understanding that these two boys are still friends, thanks to the quick intervention of the aide and the teacher, and that the Parkers never complained to the school about the incident. It's a shame that Brian Camenker would misrepresent this incident and try to further divide our community.
