In a case that could wind up in the U.S. Supreme Court, an appeals panel upheld dismissal of a lawsuit by Massachusetts parents seeking to prevent discussion of homosexual families in their children's elementary school classrooms.
The 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals yesterday agreed with a judge's decision last year that a school can expose children to contrary ideas without violating their parents' rights to exercise religious beliefs.
Lynch reasoned that schools must accept the Massachusetts high court's groundbreaking 2003 decision ruling "that the state constitution mandates the recognition of same-sex marriage."

And the public schools are the liberals’ primary base of indoctrination and recruitment. Every sensible person needs to keep their kids out of them and vote against any and all funding of them.
The unions must go

The **fundamental** problem is that education is never religiously neutral. Never!
And, government schools will always crush freedom of conscience and trash the First Amendment.
Freedom of conscience, free speech, free press, free assembly, free expression of religion, and freedom of religion can NOT coexist with government schools! Government schools trash every one of these rights.
Solution: Begin privatizing universal K-12 education.
I think it’s time for all Conservative parents to pull their children out of the public schools. Seriously. Do whatever you can, but get them out of there. Either homeschool them, or put them in private or parochial schools. But get them out now. We could make it a goal. No more Conservative children in the public schools. I’d even be willing to start or contribute to a fund for that purpose. No child left behind? Make that: No child left in public school. THAT should be the goal.
Here’s the “connect the dots”...
As long as tax and spend “compassionate” RINOs continue to dominate the Republican party, Mom and Dad will need greater amounts of income...to wit: longer hours at work... and there will be precious little time to do the prudential job of parenting. Of course, that is exactly the outcome the socialists want, else they will never achieve the New World Order under a one-world government.
Remember, the “former” USSR had considered, and Cuba still does consider that children are the property of the state. Is it any wonder that the US Federal government, and its cohorts in the governments of the individual states,demand your children enter the indoctrination centers at ever younger ages?
No, they do not want to violate the ubiquitous albeit phony axiom of “separation of Church and state”... No, their religion IS the state.
“Tolerance”? No, this is not about some doctrine of justice... This IS about corrupting children while they are most impressionable. This IS about planting the devil’s seed in their innocent minds at the very beginning of their moral development. This IS reason enough to put to the sword every operative of this perverse legal doctrine. Remember what happened to Socrates? And he was innocent beyond reproach compared to these ravenous wolves that cast their lot with Satan himself.
“...or put them in private or parochial schools...”
They are just as bad, and run by the same liberal kooks that effectively gutted the Catholic Church. In fact it is worse because unsuspecting parents give their children to these institutions with complete trust. However, the Jesuits and traditional nuns no longer run these schools; but rather the wacko modernists are in complete control. Some of these schools receive grants from the state, which always have strings attached.
I went to a Massachusetts Catholic college as a ‘continuing ed’ student, when I was studying law. The place was “Catholic” in name only... a hotbed of environmental pantheism, radical feminism and lesbian activism. I eventually left in disgust. I read similar stories of Catholic colleges all across America. Take a look at www.tfp.org They do a good job of exposing the decay.

Private scholarship foundations providing private vouchers to PRIVATE schools!
IT IS COMPLETELY POSSIBLE TO DO THIS!!!! ( I am shouting. I hope someone will hear!)
Harvard has a $35 BILLION dollar endowment, and many, many of the colleges and universities have billion and multi-multi-million dollar endowments as well. Hey! Exeter, the elite prep school is close to a billion.
If conservatives WANTED, they COULD give every child in this nation an education that respected the Constitution, the free market, and the Judeo Christian philosophy that makes all freedom possible. Not only could conservatives do this for the children of this nation, they could likely do it for every child in the WORLD. We ARE that rich as a nation!
Imagine! Please imagine.
Imagine armies of young people entering college fully prepared with arguments needed to thoroughly defeat their Marxist professors. Soon they would be taking their place in the hall of academia as well.
Conservatives, (Christian and non-Christian) could turn this country completely around.
Imagine schools that were inspected and certified by these conservative scholarship foundations. Conservative children could have the most excellent education ever provide to any children since the dawn of humankind.
If the Marxists can gain control of the educational establishment, so can conservatives!
Once those children are OUT of the government schools, their parents, friends, and neighbors can organize a MASSIVE school tax revolt. It is time to SHUT DOWN the Marxist madrassses that mis-named “public” schools!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I wasn’t thrilled with my Villanova education,,,and,,,that was the 70s.
Liberation Theology was all the rage.
Did Romney sign the legislation or not?
Did he appoint judges whom he knew were sympathetic to the “gay marriage” cause or not?
Did his administration actively court the homosexual community or not?
Did Governor Romney propose and endorse Civil Unions or not?
I am able to present the hard evidence... What about you?
( please read my post #88)
What if children attended private schools with a private voucher from a private **conservative** scholarship foundation?
What if these schools, their curriculum and polices, were inspected and certified by these foundations as being thoroughly constitution and free-market based, and supportive of the Judeo Christian principles that make all freedom possible?
What if these private foundations provided testing for the students to check academic progress?
That is the best idea I have read in a very long time. And it is eminently practical. So how do we get the ball rolling... I am serious.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I wish I knew.
Maybe some at the Milton and Rose Friedman foundation could help us get started in the right direction.
Maybe the owner of Overstock.com could help. He was very active in the Utah fight for vouchers.
One thing is for sure. I don’t expect any help from Bill and Melinda Gates. They sell computer products to the government schools and aren’t about to bite the hand that feeds them.
But,,,hey!,,,Who am I? Who’s going to even open a e-mail from me?
Please copy my post and send to everyone you know.
Eventual the idea will get around.
Please read my tag: “Good ideas win! Why? Because (**conservatives**) are not stupid.” :)
Some sort of glitch probably. Is it still happening?
how did we end up in this hand basket?

Giving Up Freedom Incrementally? by Geoff Metcalf
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1928671/posts
This judge is obviously pro-pervert. This is what happens when you cede the state substantial control over kids, instead of the family.
It is called “incrementalism”... Quite effective, no?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If the Marxists can play that game, so can conservatives.
It could still have worked as the "Dahmer Party."
