The real agenda behind schools' anti-bullying curriculum (more gay indoctrination)

There are likely plenty of so-called, church going, God-believing, but STUPID Christian government teachers who will thoroughly and completely go along with, aid, abet, and completely implement this gay indoctrination program. They will completely support this anti-Chrisitian values indoctrination program while simultaneously thinking they are being good Christian examples of Christian behavior. ( Yeah right!) ( With eyeroll) Instead of protesting, and risking the loss of their jobs, these Christian teachers will instead teach all the children that Christians teachers are hypocrites, will sell they principles for a paycheck, and are timid and weak. Christian parents who send their children to these schools are teaching many of the same lessons. They are teaching their children that Christian parents are too weak to yank them out of these cesspools. When these Christian children reach adulthood too many will have abandoned their faith. Those who who are not Christian will be unlikely to listen to true missionaries. We can thank their weak, timid, and compliant teachers and parents for that!

The research from Barna shows that only 9% of evangelical adults have even a minimal Christian worldview. It's not surprising that Christian teachers don't teach too much differently than non-Christian teachers. Our kids often are being brainwashed, and the parents don't even know it. So sad.

True Christian teachers have only two options open to them.

1) Protest and likely lose their job.
2) Quit!

Any other action is teaching the children that Christians are hypocrites who will sell their religious principles for a paycheck. They are also setting an example of Christians as being timid and weak people. Who in their right mind would embrace a religion with members like that?

Parents have only one option: Remove their child immediately and then work to shut these cesspools down!

On some level all children know that their parents are abandoning them to sink or swim in these government school cesspools. Is there any wonder there is a generation gap? Why would any child trust a parent that knowingly, or even unknowingly, subject them to this?

I will inform my kids that if they have this type of assignment, they are NOT to form a family with 2 male parents or 2 female parents.

If they are led to do so, they will inform the teacher and the class that it is in violation of their religious beliefs and they refuse to accept that as a possible solution to the problem.

"The packets of photographs selected make it impossible to create seven 'traditional' families: that is, families that include a mother, a father and children," says the curriculum guide. "Students will find that they must create some families with adults of the same gender. ..." and then decide how to label the members.

I'm ashamed that I'm surprised by this crap. I should have known better. I'm sure that bullying is a serious problem in gov't schools. It was when I was in school way back when. The reason why it has never been addressed is that it's never in anyone's interest to report it, including the victim's. "Ratting" will only make the bullying worse. Figures the homo lobby would work this to their advantage.

“In my opinion, the schools don’t need “tolerance”; they need discipline. I don’t care what you thing about Student X. Hate his guts, if that’s fun for you. But you will sit in the classroom and behave yourself, or you will be expelled. (I will never be elected to school board.)”

RIGHT!

[Tax-chick]

Right, that I’ll never be elected to the school board :-)?

I think that things went much better when schools, public or private, emphasized appropriate behavior rather than warm, fuzzy feelings and politically-correct attitudes. Everyone, students and employees, should be required to act like ladies and gentlemen. If that’s enforced, then it doesn’t matter what anyone approves or disapproves personally.

[Amendment10]

But what if that curriculum is really a disguise for a very different agenda brought to Minneapolis by the Human Rights Campaign, a Washington, D.C.-based gay and transgender advocacy group? What if its lessons have little to do with bullying, and much to do with ensuring that kids as young as age 5 submit to HRC's orthodoxy on family structure, even if it differs from their own parents' view?

From a related thread...

Romans 1:25-27 tells us that same-sex sexual relationships are a consequence of idolatry. In other words, such relationships are a consequence of disobeying the 1ST COMMANDMENT, a major aspect of the GREATEST COMMANDMENT, to love the jealous God with all your being.

Homosexuals need to keep in mind, however, that the good news of the gospel is not about how God despises same-sex sexual relationships. In fact, 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 indicates that certain members of that church had been slaves to such relationships but had been cleansed in Jesus' name. So these former homosexuals had evidently repented and accepted God's grace to straighten their lives out.

John 3:16
Revelation 3:20

Regarding the Christian taxpayers and other taxpayers who don't want homosexual indoctrination in their schools, Jefferson put it this way.

"To compel a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagation of opinions which he disbelieves and abhors, is sinful and tyrannical." --Thomas Jefferson: Bill for Religious Freedom, 1779. Papers 2:545 http://www.religioustolerance.org/virg_bil.htm

Also, consider that the public schools in question, along with the Human Rights Campaign, is foolishly following in the footsteps of the Pharisees of Jesus' time. More specifically, Mark 7:1-23, particularly verses 9-13, indicates that Jesus reprimanded the Pharisees for driving a wedge between parents and their children, nullifying the 5th Commandment to honor your father and mother.

Well...I doubt you’d be elected...but any school board would be LUCKY to have you!
:-)

I’m sure they don’t want me either...
LOL!!!

But, what I really meant was that I completely agree with your statement on discipline and warm fuzzies!!!
We find the same thing in coaching...
My hubby taught the soccer coach to say “EYEBALLS!” to the kids and then the kids look at the coach and say, “CLICK!”...
Too funny...
(I guess 18 years in boot camp also need to learn how to listen :-)

Good one! If it wasn't the end of the year, I'd try that with my Sunday School class.

[M0sby]

FUNNY!
And you KNOW that at some point there would be a child with a U.S Marine for a Dad (or Mom).
That would be a funny conversation!

Another reason to homeschool?

[metmom]

You got it.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This is why all K-12 education in the U.S. must be privatized. Why?

For a school to have discipline and order, that school **must** restrict free speech, free press, free expression of religion, and free association. Also, all education has a religious worldview. It is impossible to have religiously neutral curriculum and policies.

Therefore....When government attempts to run orderly, safe, and well disciplined schools they step in a great big pile of First Amendment dog pooh.

Government schools, freedom of conscience, and the First Amendment can **not** coexist!

I had to go back and figure out what this post was about since it was quite some time ago.

And yep, I remember you making that comment before.

I will just have to respectfully disagree again.

Have a great weekend.

[wintertime]

Mosby,

Post #35 is the first of your posts to me, therefore this is the only time that you have disagreed with anything I have posted on this thread.

I do agree with you schools need discipline and order. The best way to do that ( without the government stepping in First Amendment dog pooh) is to have a completely private system of K-12 education..

[Tax-chick]

I’m having a great weekend so far, and hope you are the same. We went to the used book store :-).

[M0sby]

Oh my.
I’m so sorry about that.
I didn’t mean to be confusing.
I was referring to disagreeing with you on many prior occasions.

I (hopefully and respectfully) disagree with you on this occasion as well.

Take care and again, I hope you have a nice weekend.
