Lexington's school superintendent yesterday denied assertions that a first-grader was beaten up on a playground last month in retaliation for his father's campaign to stop the school from teaching his son about homosexuality. School officials, citing interviews with the children involved, said the fight actually started over where students would sit in the cafeteria and then spilled onto the playground. The student, the 7-year-old son of David Parker , who filed a federal lawsuit in April over the teaching of homosexuality in school, was punched several times during the May 17 fight. ``These were two first-graders having a child squabble on a playground," said Superintendent Paul Ash . ``Some adults are exploiting these children for political purposes." The playground fight ballooned into a School Department inquiry after a Waltham-based parents' group, MassResistance, alleged that a group of children pounced on the boy on the two-year anniversary of the legalization of gay marriage. According to school officials' investigation, one child hit Parker's son two to four times during recess, and the boy fell to his knees as about five students watched . A teacher's aide intervened. The child who hit Parker's son was sent to the assistant principal's office, where he wrote an apology and was denied recess for two days. Parker's son and the boy have since had a play date, Ash said. School officials contacted authorities, who declined to investigate, Ash said. Parker said he was unconvinced that the fight had nothing to do with the outcry. He said other students have talked to his son about the issue. Parker was arrested last year when he refused to leave Estabrook Elementary School without a guarantee that his child would not be exposed to teachings about homosexuality. In April, he filed a federal lawsuit over the issue.

Oh, I generally do. The 'before'. ;-D
Oh, now you're just tryin' to get on my good side. (Seriously, though, I haven't seen him in ages - did the surgery work or is his scale going up again?)
MYTH??? MYTH??... in this very sentence you mislead, You say it was two first graders, but yet very conveniently leave out the part that he was admittly lead to the place of his beating by another child (who probable held his hands while he was beaten). Also you conveniently leave out the part that a crowd was there for it, and you quote these very facts in your other posts (from the other thread), so it is not like you don't know this. So we are to believe that this kid was only hit 2-4 times and a crowd gathers. Since this is a "myth" explain to the good folks just how a crowd forms in only 2 seconds, and also tell us, if the child is knocked down, he was not hurt.
I don't know what they mean about this play date. Does that infer that they went home together, or did something at school together, I am not sure.
See post 295 where I go into more details. This article also conveniently leaves out some major points. See how the stories of the school has changed over time. See for yourself other information like the lady (Soens) who runs a couple of web sites (lexingtoncares.org and www.respectingdifferences.org) is for the homosexual agenda and what Parker is against. Don't tell me that they don't have big time lawyers helping them with this.
BTW.. you can see a picture of Soens during her marriage to another lady Celia d’Oliveira here -------->

Want to know their agenda in their own words???
How lesbian parents approached and worked collaboratively with school system administration to develop plans for integrating gay and lesbian issues in elementary anti-bias curriculum. How we approached multiple levels, integrated our goals with anti-bias curriculum and explicit core values of the Lexington Public Schools. Also offered in Workshop A. Olin 109
Considering my primary complaint with the Parker thread hijacker cabal members such as you is that they attempt to vilify David Parker by such as mischaracterizing his statements and actions I do not find it odd that you now again provide an example of such illegitimate creativity...
I could see legitimately a dispute over the version of the story I agree with (David Parker's) and some of the others that are biased against David Parker, e.g. The school administration; HOWEVER, since you again attempt to erect an enhanced version of reality and by implication and innuendo at minimum attempt to mischaracterize -I will call you on it...
Where exactly does this version you espouse come from -I have seen nothing attributed to David Parker with such specifics?
Provide a link -in essence, put up or shut up...
So you also are at least recognizing that the story of young Parker being dragged and beaten by 8 to 10 boys who also kicked him when he was down, planned in advance, encouraged by gay loving adults who were out to get Parker is likely a fantasy in Parker's mind? Good, we are getting somewhere. Because when I challenged that story as not quite meeting the laugh test, I was cursed, called every name, issued a death wish, and banned.
Since this is a "myth" explain to the good folks just how a crowd forms in only 2 seconds, and also tell us, if the child is knocked down, he was not hurt.
You are trying to somehow rescue the original story, and that dog won't hunt. If the child was hurt in any way, why didn't Parker do something then? Why didn't the school send him to the nurse? Lots of unanswered questions there.
This article also conveniently leaves out some major points.
Such as? Why hasn't Parker come forward to make a statement? The press would love to hear from him. Why does he not attempt to bring these two divergent stories together? Can he name the attackers and their families? You're right, many unanswered questions. Perhaps after his fund-raiser is done, he can think about what the boy is going through.
I appreciate the link and the reference to gay and lesbian agendas. I have recommended a book by Tammy Bruce to all here which goes into those school agendas in great detail, called The Death of Right and Wrong. Perhaps no one here has read it because Tammy Bruce is a lesbian. But just maybe she has something relevant to add to the debate.
But it is still not relevant to what really happened on that school-ground to Jacob Parker. Because of all the witnesses, I tend to lean toward the statement by the district administrator and the chief of police, unless some facts come along to refute those.
That is the most dramatic turnabout since the Battle of Midway. That, in fact, was what the entire debate has been about, the possibility of another version, one with a tad more credibility.
Provide a link -in essence, put up or shut up...
To what? Your post failed to mention exactly what you wanted linked.
Again you attribute specifically to Mr. Parker statements that I have seen attributed to him or quoted him NOWHERE...
As I requested before and will again, provide a link -in essence, put up or shut up...
This developing situation seems eerily reminiscent of what happened just prior to your last zotting? Deja Vu?
It's your article, not mine. He gave the interview to Article 8 alliance, not me. They could not have gotten that information from anyone but Parker. He is quoted in Article 8 Alliance, not me. He obviously agrees with the content, not me. If he does not agree with it, now might just be a good time to say so, after the fund-raising, that is.
I would welcome such a retraction.

Link enough, or do you want more?

As I said before, I've got plenty of places to go, you have none. If Jimrob wants nothing but extremists running the show here, fine. It's his site, not mine or yours. I can guarantee you one thing. The Republicans this Fall can well do without certain extremist agendas. I said once the other day, as long as I am here, I will challenge lies, misrepresentations and otherwise inaccurate information from both the left and the right. I will continue to point them out. So if the truth is no longer welcome here, neither am I.
Can you see me applauding! You've stated the issue clearly.
It makes no sense to me that we would use misinformation and outright lies to push back against an agenda we don't like.
Well, as you can see from the post, the threats of "zotting" are getting heavy. It's amazing how the basic truth scares hell of of some people.
There are some people on both sides of the aisle who will push any lie in order to further their agenda.
As we've seen time and time again, those people always get caught when they lie. This is why the Democrats have so little crediblity.
I don't want to be like them.
As to the zotting threats, I tell those freepers to bring it on. If the owner of the forum cares so little for the truth and believes the lies told by some of the people on these threads, I don't want to be here anyway.
Agree completely.
If you are just making stuff up then say so OTHERWISE quote something specific to the the two specifics I pointed out that you attribute to David Parker, e.g. quoting your post # 106 "So you also are at least recognizing that the story of young Parker being dragged and beaten by 8 to 10 boys who also kicked him when he was down, planned in advance, encouraged by gay loving adults who were out to get Parker is likely a fantasy in Parker's mind?"...
The web page you refer to does not confirm your attributions... To borrow from you - the only "fantasy" I see is in your false claims attributed to David Parker. Such is the delusion associated with attempting to maintain delusion...
As I requested before and will again, provide a link -in essence, put up or shut up (to make it easy for you just provide a quote attributed to David Parker for your claim that "the story of young Parker being dragged and beaten by 8 to 10 boys who also kicked him when he was down, planned in advance, encouraged by gay loving adults who were out to get Parker"
Remember -- a quote to confirm your specific claim and a link to something that confirms your claim by documenting your quote.. Either I see the quote and link posted here or I do not -enough slithering around...
Since Parker gave the interview to the site, and since Parker was quoted in the interview, and since Parker did not deny the story, only a moron would not believe that Parker gave the story to the anti-homosexual site. I'll stick with my version. Have Parker sue me!
Be careful. You are making entirely too much sense. And some freepers are twisting into pretzels to continue their mantra that Parker's story doesn't have holes in it, when in fact the story is so filled with holes, I'm pretty surprised that Townhall and other news organizations didn't do just five minutes of investigation before writing their bogus stories.
I was especially surprised by Townhall. WND and a couple of the others do not want to know the truth. Since they only need to say that Parker gave the story, they are clear. It simply shows how agenda driven "news" organizations are no matter which side of the political spectrum they are on. There's another thread on the same subject started by a talk show host who led with his script. Same BS. A couple of posters tried to tell him it was wrong, but he stuck with the story. Complete agenda driven with no respect for truth.
It's gotten to the point where the news is so untrustworthy that it's hardly worth listening to anymore.
And I see that threats of zotting are being made on every thread when someone disagrees with certain posters. That's pretty telling.
You provide nothing -as such, reality is vindicated...
The fact that you pretty much agree with all the propaganda hook line and sinker YET have not been mentioned in regards to zotting should be pretty telling -huh? Think about it...
It may have to do with the fact that you are not a persistent trolling visitor to homosexual agenda topics always arguing for the homosexual agenda by arguing against reality... Do your own research on your comrades here -reality will come LOL
