Separation of school and state PING!

[kingu]

Once again, there's an example of a court order that should absolutely have been ignored by any rational person in the district. A court has no basis in determining what is taught in a school - that is a function of the legislative bodies, from the school board to the state. Any parent who complies with such orders is failing to teach their children the value of a democracy.

As much as the homosexual activists like to pretend that sexual orientated bias is as much a crime as those based upon race or gender, the reality is that you can look at a person and tell if they're black or white, male or female. You can't generally tell someone's sexual orientation - it is a preference, just as much as someone's religion is, and absolutely does not rise to the same level of protection.

Homeschooling is becoming a necessity nowadays.

"But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe
in Me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged
about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the
sea." Matthew 18:6

The coming judgement will be a terrible thing.

When sodomites are 51% of the population, you and your family will be raped continually and who will you go to for justice . . . a gay cop, a gay DA, a gay judge. It will be just like the sodomy in prison system today.

[caseinpoint]

I have never ridiculed another person for a trait, real or perceived. I have never teased another who was different from me. I'm sure I have some latent prejudices somewhere but it would never occur to me to intentionally try to hurt another person because of that difference.

Now what is interesting is that I grew up in another educational era (primarily 60s) where there were no race relations classes, no classes on "fairies", not even sex education classes. Yet somehow I learned not to be overtly prejudiced against other people. Even when I seriously disagree with lifestyle choices, I don't persecute those who choose it. I guess those dead white males I studied were of some value because I learned about civilized behavior, respect for others, and honor and decency. Now that Bart Simpson and his ilk became icons of youth, everyone is meaner.

Furthermore, it isn't just gays that are teased. In my day the finks, the airheads, the jocks, the brown-nosers and numerous other groups came in for their share of teasing. How you handled the teasing was part of your education. But, by all means, let's put all the kids (except religious fundamentalists, of course) into protective cocoons of political correctness so they will still be emotional infants when they graduate and go out into the big, bad world.

"When sodomites are 51% of the population...."




Huh?

Not sure I follow your logic. Putting the behavior of homersexuality in the same category of religion for protection makes no sense. Religion is very protected in the constitution, so far the behavior of homersexuals is not mentioned there although a great many liberals see it there.

Next, they'll start taking children away from parents who tell their children that homsexuality is immoral/sexually deviant/etc.

Religious practice is protected under the constitution, religious belief is not. You can't be prevented (without huge compelling reasons not to) from being able to practice your religion, but there's nothing in the constitution that requires anyone else to acknowledge, recognize, tally, etc your beliefs.

Hate crime laws go beyond the constitutionally protected arena of religious practice into the realm of acknowledging someone's religious belief. In many states, it is lumped in with homosexual belief as well. Beliefs are not constitutionally protected. To extend protections to beliefs erodes someone's freedom of speech. If I call a Catholic a moron, I've committed a hate crime, just as if I call a homosexual a wacko.

Beyond, it goes into a sketchy realm of reading someone's mind, rather than being based upon intent. These laws assign a different punishment for effectively the same crime. If I hit you because you're a Jew (or because I believe you to be one, because honestly, who can really prove someone's beliefs?) I'll get more jail time than if I hit you because you just happened to walk by.

I'm absolutely sure that there is no evidence of intent by the framers of the constitution to extend such rights, especially since religious debate was such an active and organic segment of everyday living.

[OriginalIntent]

Separation of school and state is a must. Liberals love the coerced indoctrination they get to justify through Big Federal DOE and NEA power. Undermining parents is their daily goal.

"into believing that homosexuality is simply a normal and healthy variation of human sexuality. "

What's next?
Now there's a guy in Russia that wants to marry his cow.

Since these schools only get federal money for fannies in the seats, I suggest that parents that oppose these homosexual promoting activities organize and hold their children from school. If the district sees a 40% or greater absentee rate when it is supporting these activities they will be forced to either listen to what parents want or ammend their budgets accordingly. Hitting them in the check book is the only way to get school administrators attention. Participation would have to be large to have an impact.

Since these schools only get federal money for fannies in the seats,

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

In my state, the government schools only get money from the STATE if there are fannies in the seat.

Government schools need three things: Students, money, and votes.

When a parent removes their child, the government school has lost a student, money, and a voter who will go to the polls and vote for reps who are hostile to government schools.

[wintertime]

Thus, at John Glenn Middle School in Bedford, for example, pink triangles adorn classroom doors, and a rainbow flag flies over the school during "gay pride" festivities.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

The government is establishing the religious beliefs of some ( homosexual sex is OK) and actively and even maliciously destroying the religious beliefs of others.


There is no neutral ground that the government can take.


The solution: Complete separation of school and state.

[little jeremiah]

Listy time.

[rfreedom4u]

I told my kids to tell me the minute they get shown or told any of the gay propaganda crap. If they have to they are to walk out of class and call me. I'll be at the school in no time.
