LOS ANGELES - As one group attempts to use California public schools as laboratories to assist children in "coming out" with their nontraditional sexual orientation, another is urging parents to come out from these schools and educate their children with their values at home or in private schools.
Last Sunday, a group called "Exodus Mandate" (www.exodusmandate.org) began placing literature in scores of Southern California church lobbies, urging parents to take charge of their children's education and oppose attempts by activists and politicians to shape the worldview of young people, a worldview that runs counter to what many taxpaying parents believe and teach in their homes and places of worship.
The final straw for some was the decision last fall by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to sign SB 777 -- a bill opponents say will have a long and significant effect not only on California public schools, but also on public schools everywhere. That's because California is one of the largest purchasers of school textbooks and publishers tend to shape content to reflect the wishes of the state that buys the most books.
SB 777, or the California Student Civil Rights Act, requires "nondiscrimination" against sexual orientation, as well as other characteristics. Opponents take that to mean favorable teaching about homosexuality, bisexuality, gender identity and any and every other form of sexual expression for which there is an advocate.

That the Marxists and homosexuals are attempting to destroy the family though indoctrination in our government schools is one of freedom's **most** serious threats,,,and,,,The 3 Stooges ( Rush, Sean, and Bill) seem to be ASLEEP!
If the Marxists and homosexuals succeed in the goverment schools all freedom will be lost in the voting booth! If the family and freedom buckles at the knees in the U.S., the entire world will be lost in a 1,000 year Dark Age.
Thank goodness, people like Cal Thomas are beginning to write about it. Thankfully, he is saying what needs to be said, "REMOVE YOUR CHILDREN!" Hopefully, more conservative writers will join him.
Here’s a lesson for young skulls full of mush the world over-
“What is Political Correctness?”

Ah, but on another thread this morning, a Ca district court ruled that (effectively) homeschooling is illegal.
You better know that this is coming. The left is after your kids, and they will use the courts to get them.
By the way, the **first** and **most** important mission field of any Catholic or other Christian should be their **own** children. The second most important and urgent mission field should be the children of their congregation. St. John Neumann understood this. Gee! If we could only resurrect him today.
Yes, they are. Homeschoolers must be very vigilant and brave.
Even in conservative Utah, judges are very hostile to homeschooling.

Who appoints these judges? Or, are they elected? Thanks for any information.
The Exodus Mandate was operating LONG before SB-777, which is turning a trickle into a stampede. It's going to be VERY interesting to see what will happen after this recent appellate decision.
I don’t know. I don’t live in Utah. However, there was a story about a woman whose school district lost her paperwork and the judge ordered the kids into government school. She left the state with her kids.
I haven’t seen any follow up stories on this formerly Utah family.

Are you familiar with the ancient Chinese curse?
“May you live in interesting times!”
Referring to them as "stooges" will entice them to do so I'm sure.

Teaching communism
I have.
I think the frog in the pot of boiling water is dead.
I am constantly amazed at the thickness of the blinders on parents’ eyes these days.
I believe their underlings search the web ( and especially Free Republic) for comments both negative and positive.
I doubt that Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Bill OReilly like being identified as being asleep on the job. ( Which they are, in my opinion!)
By the way,,,,have you seen or heard of them covering SB 777? I haven’t!
Have you ever heard them call for parents to remove their kids from government indoctrination camps? I haven’t.
Have you ever heard them identify Marxism as being a serious threat in our government schools? I haven’t!
I haven’t heard any of them stating that government schools are unredeemable and should be SHUT DOWN!
Have you heard them identify Marxist and homosexual ideology in our government schools as being a threat in the voting booth as future generations graduate? I haven’t!
In my opinion, these guys ( Rush, Sean, and Bill) have pickled brains!
I am utterly exasperated with the three of them!

I saw the sky falling the other day.
