Students required to take controversial sex-ed class

Dear lord I live here. GAH *smacks head against keys* Does that mean my neighbors I've watched grow up from infants will start going, "I'm gay! Gay pride!" and "Don't be silly, that's not a baby in her belly, that's a product of conception!"

[Neoliberalnot]

It is all about homosexuals having access to your kids. They have been kicked out of the Boy Scouts and the Catholic Church but are now seeking access to a much larger population of children. Will the homophobes rise up and put a stop to the NAMBLA/homosexual-driven agenda?

[doorgunner69]

Unless your agenda is to force that perspective on students that are not old enough to make such decisions yet.

That goes without saying, doesn't it? Molding young minds has been the core strategy of the 'rats for years now, from elementary school continuing through college. They control the entire education aparatus, cranking out thoroughly programmed future liberals.

It goes back seven decades, to The Frankfurt School, where that method of takeover of America was conceived. Concensus building and sensitivity training were their ideas, too, and have been quite effective in pounding down objectors.

[itsahoot]

Are they promoting a Liberal agenda?

Well, now you know how Rip Van Winkle must have felt.

We all need to fight against this type of Ed forced by the Un-Constitutional Fed Dept of Ed:


by Brooks Mick
http://www.theconservativevoice.com/article/17666.html


I was challenged by an extreme lefty (I am beginning to believe that all lefties are extreme) to prove that the federal Department of Education was unconstitutional as I had asserted.

QED (quod erat demonstratum--to be demonstrated): That the Department of Education is unconstitutional.

The Constitution clearly ENUMERATES the powers that "we the people" grant to the FEDERAL government. These are relatively few:

Article 1, section 8/

Clause 1: The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;

Clause 2: To borrow Money on the credit of the United States;

Clause 3: To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes;

Clause 4: To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization, and uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States;

Clause 5: To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures;

Clause 6: To provide for the Punishment of counterfeiting the Securities and current Coin of the United States;

Clause 7: To establish Post Offices and post Roads;

Clause 8: To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries;

Clause 9: To constitute Tribunals inferior to the supreme Court;

Clause 10: To define and punish Piracies and Felonies committed on the high Seas, and Offences against the Law of Nations;

Clause 11: To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water;

Clause 12: To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years;

Clause 13: To provide and maintain a Navy;

Clause 14: To make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces;

Clause 15: To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;

Clause 16: To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress;

Clause 17: To exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten Miles square) as may, by Cession of particular States, and the Acceptance of Congress, become the Seat of the Government of the United States, and to exercise like Authority over all Places purchased by the Consent of the Legislature of the State in which the Same shall be, for the Erection of Forts, Magazines, Arsenals, dock-Yards, and other needful Buildings;--And

Clause 18: To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof.

Now, NOWHERE IN THAT LIST do you find any authority of the federal government to regulate education.

Then one goes to the Bill of Rights:

Article [IX.]

The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

Article [X.]

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

Then one can peruse the Federalist Papers and other writings of the Founders, in particular James Madison, the so-called Father of the Constitution, and find that he wrote that any other statements in the Constitution, particularly that mentioning "general welfare," were limited by the original enumeration of powers and did not extend to other such powers not expressly mentioned. That is, if the power to do something is not given to congress by the Constitution, congress can't do it!

Thus, quod erat demonstratum, the Department of Education is unconstitutional. The power to establish such was not given to the federal government. Since it was not, the power to establish or regulate education were reserved to the States or to the people. That is, the states could, if their citizens and their constitutions allow, regulate education, or the people could establish private schools. BUT THE FEDS HAVE NO CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY TO DO SO!

QED.

NEXT!

[workerbee]

Which Montgomery County is this? MD, PA?

Maryland. Definitely Maryland.

[kenth]

There is no reason the school cannot supply alternative work units for students whose parents don't want the school teaching their children about sex.

---

No reason, except for the forced promotion and recruitment of homosexuality. Pathetic how homosexuals constantly claim that theirs is a genetic trait, yet constantly work to recruit children.

[MEGoody]

Although Montgomery County school officials have been making controversial new teachings on sexual orientation seem as if they’re optional, the reality is that all 10th-graders must take the class in question in order to graduate, officials said.

Time for the parents to demand a special board meeting and to show up in angry droves.

“If you choose to opt out of a lesson,” he (Edwards) said, using one of the two sexual orientation ones as examples, “you opt out of the whole course.” And opting out of a required course, he said, means not graduating.

Typical education-mafia weasel.

[JSDude1]

Yes, and corrupt "teaching" officials I believe are some of the biggest corrupters of power in this nation: RIVALING Politicians becuase of who they have power over, and what they try to influence them to BELIEVE (DO)..~!

[Froufrou]

I would have said the same about homeschooling, except that's not the answer for at least 2 very good reasons.

1. Ignoring a problem won't make it go away.

2. You're paying the school district taxes and getting nothing for your money. That said, just paying taxes should give you the right to say what's taught and what's not, whether you have a kid in school or not!

[Unam Sanctam]

And opting out of a required course, he said, means not graduating.

Positively Orwellian...

[Kevmo]

Interesting discussion. We have been discussing inexpensive ways to fast track kids through high school to avoid the liberal agenda:

[Froufrou]

I'm glad you posted that; it's bizarre [to me] that someone trying to graduate and head for college had to face these issues. You know, if I'm a student and I don't want to know about cannibalism [for example,] that should be my choice.

[gidget7]

This is going on all over Mass. as well. Planned Parenthood is behind a bill, (beat that!) to prevent a bill being passed seeking to give parents the right to "opt in. Also a bill to refuse "NCLB" abstinence funding.

The new gov, we call him Devil, proclaimed on MLK day, that civil rights is still being faught, and he will continue it so that homosexuals ETC will have civil rights. And he is a black man! Unbelievable. I am so fed up with all this debauchery I feel sick.

This agenda is not going to stop and I fear it will come to blows on a huge scale, I really do. THAT is what scares me, NOT homosexuals.

I hear often that homeschooling is the answer, and I agree for those who can and will. But I cannot help but feel for all the victims of this federal and state sanctioned sexualization of children who's parents can't or don't, regardless of the reason. Just because they have a lib for a parent, are we to just throw them to the wolves?? I don't know what the answer is, but I do feel for the kids subjected to this garbage.

[JamesP81]

You can take any optional course you want, as long as you take the one we tell you to.

[Doomonyou]

We had this exact same issue come up at my kids high school in Petaluma. Mrs. Doomonyou went around in circles with school administration and finally contacted this guy:

Brad W. Dacus, President

at:

Long story short, after a few meetings, the school set up an alternate course for the kids (and parents) who wanted to opt-out, for credit, that met the graduation requirements.

On a side note, Mrs. Doomonyou and I went to one of their fund raisers in LA and listened to Alan Keyes speak on the constitution. Fascinating.

Also, they do all their work pro bono. http://www.pacificjustice.org/

[Guenevere]

sigh...I can't believe my county was fighting this almost 15 years ago...

At that time, parents got involved....many parents...hundreds got involved.

If parents cede this over to the schools without a fight....I have no words to express my disappointment.

And btw, WE-(the parents) WON!
