Thanks for posting that. They remind me of the ACLJ.

When I was in the 10th Grade, opting out meant you when to the library and did a short research paper on eating healthy or exercise, while the sex ed stuff your parents didn't want you to participate in occurred in the classroom.

Exactly. And that's what was going on as of this year in MoCo, too. My kid is in the MoCo public screwls, and I opted him out of the middle school sex curriculum. The trouble is that as they get older they feel social pressure from their friends to take the class. As the counsellor warned us, they mess up the paperwork so that they get to take the class they're curious about.

It is beyond my comprehension how the human race managed to produce six billion people, and all the billions in prior centuries, without having these sex education classes. How did our ancestors ever, ever figure such a thing out? Thank God that today we have the Montgomery County Public School to teach our children how to have sex. < /s>

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.
***Please consider the Free Republic High School Diploma as a proposal which could be one answer. What do you think?

As someone who has lived the homosexual 'lifestyle' for over 20 years, I think that children of a mature enough age should be taught the basic social facts about homosexuality.

One lesson would be enough, and it would focus on all the main features of homosexuality, including:

1) the vastly increased chance of serious sexual deseases including HIV/AIDS.
2) the underdeveloped sense of responsibility of homosexuals to themselves and others.
3) it's tendency to dominate an individual's life, through it's addictive nature.
4) the obsessive and predatary interest in youth.
5) the self-destructive nature of the disorder and of those who actively indulge it.


Graphic images of the results of homosexual activity and data about the habits and consequence of homosexuality in society should be enough to support what I would concider to be an essential part of a young adult's education.

So, yes. I think that some education about homosexuality is important. The facts.
If I've missed any important ones out, maybe someone could add them.

Schools when I was young were pretty solid. I had a good education. Now we're sending kids out to battle. I would prefer a good Christian school but they can be expensive. I know several families with lots of children who homeschool and they do a fine job. Their kids don't have a lot of the problems public schools have and they don't act out the way public school kids can.

I agree, but have noticed that the girl next door who was home-schooled has the same anger problems as her mom. I still feel socialization is part of education, but is probably better had at Sunday school or enrollment in a Christian school. The real concern, too, is the quality of education is not there anymore in public school, yet we pay more and more in taxes to hold up the system.

Many homeschoolers belong to LEAH groups, which are folks who get together for socialization, trips, advice, etc. Some even hire science teachers, advanced math teachers, etc. to come and teach their children. There are ways to get around the school system.

I believe anger is a spirit that travels down family lines, just as other sinful behaviors do. You learn also what you see, that's why it's SO important to pray for your children and to be a good example to them.

Homosexuals remind me of the Communists who made Marxist dogma required reading.
