By the time you read this I should be gone for a week, so I'm pinging a couple of others (already on this thread) in case they're interested in posting any response to you.

But blowing this playgound incident out of proportion is nutty,

If you're saying Parker has blown the playground incident out of proportion, to what exactly are you referring? What has Parker said or been quoted as saying on the matter?

and hurts his cause even more than his stunt of refusing to leave school grounds, being arrested and spending the night in jail "to make a point" (??),

Parker is on record as saying that may not have been best, and having 20/20 hindsight has always proved to be a great teacher.

having "vigils", aligning with some (not all, but some) fringe groups like Fred Phelps' church,

I'm unaware of any fringe groups like Fred Phelps' church with which Parker has aligned himself. And if you were trying to be as offensive as possible, I would think you just succeeded.

starting a David Parker Fund, and opening a pay-pal account. Kinda Cindy Sheehan-ish, like he likes the fame of the issue.

I don't know Parker's heart, but I have been on the receiving end of some very radical homosexual activists and can understand from where he's coming.

why doesn't he pull his child from that school? It would seem homeschooling would be a terrific option!

As a home schooler I would agree but I don't know everything about the situation. I think it was gidget7 (just pinged her too) that said something about Parker not having any legal standing if he pulled his child from the school.

I'll be on the lake in two hours. ;-)

I agree! There is nothing comparable to the extremes a rabid homosexual agenda activist will go to in attempting to protect the propagandized delusional comfort zone necessary for maintaining the facade of homosexual normalcy... David Parker embodies ALL that the homosexual agenda activists fear and they are gunning for him big time!

Correct, the court would just rule that he had removed his child so what was his issue? The toher thing Parker is firmly standing behind, is the opt out LAW, which the school board and the superintendent weasel their way around and completely ignore. That law is being broken, and not only Mr. Parkers son is at risk because it is, all the children are.

Couple that with the fact that Mr. Parker is a working man, and it is not an easy cost of living in Lexington, so he probably cannot afford to live on only his own income, and have his wife homeschool. I could be mistaken, but I believe I read he was transferred, and that was what brought him to MA and Lexington.
