ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the "other" articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. If you want on/off this list, please freepmail me. The main Homeschool Ping List by DaveLoneRanger handles the homeschool-specific articles.

2) This is exactly what happened at East Boston High. One girl who thought she was a Lesbian at age 14, realized she was not. However the members of the anti-discrimination club who were her friends have been harassing her ever since. Sounds like Jonestown.

2) The gays encourage children to "explore their sexuality" by trying gay sex. Ah! But,,,once the child does try gay sex, the child is told that once gay, they are always and irredeemably gay! How's that for a mind game?

Becoming 'gay' is exactly like joining a cult. It is a very tight club and they don't even look to kindly at bi-sexuals. There is an enormous amount of peer presure to stay in the club and accept their principles such as you are born that way and can't change.

I have the hardest time having conversations with parents who bray on and on about how good their government schools are. Sure, parts of some of them are good, but in the big picture, the system is basically the beginning of a wastewater treatment plant.

"Johnston High School senior Josh Merritt wants to make something clear: The high school's new Gay-Straight Alliance will not be a recruiting club, and it won't be a dating service"

Riiiiight. Now they're just lying to our faces. That's all these clubs are about--recruiting. And as for the idea of a "dating" service--lol. Their conception of "dating" is drinking enough (or taking enough drugs) to suppress your conscience.

I'm guessing they hold their meetings in the men's room.

"The high school's new Gay-Straight Alliance will not be a recruiting club, and it won't be a dating service"

R-I-I-G-H-T. Anyone who assumes a club with a name like "Gay-Straight Club" has ANYTHING to do with sex should get their minds out of the gutter.

Why would a kid who is not gay or has gay tendencies join a "Gay/Straight" Club, even if the word "Straight" is in its name?

There's a similar club in my elder son's high school (with the official backing of the faculty, of course).

Last year, the club distributed a ribbon everyone was encouraged to wear for a week. Many refused, in spite of pressure from their "more tolerant, more enlightened" peers. My son was one who refused.

Last night, he asked me to proofread his persuasive essay assignment. I was touched to find it was about why homosexual marriage is a bad thing.

That's my boy. :-)

They have this crap in my kids school in Ct. And if you look into all the Gay/Straight Alliance BS, It is funded by gay dating services and Transvestite Orgs. And the schools try and tell you with a straight face it is not coming out of your TAX Dollar. What a load of Bull. They even try and get the kids to wear Black armbands, Black tshirts and pay tribute to the fallen gays with HIV called the Day of Silence. I told the Principal if they had a clue they would be honoring our TROOPS instead of HIV gays who have passed the Virus on to others without Morals.Sad thing is many Parents aren't aware this program exists.
