I have always said that the gay rights movement is really more about sexuality rights as a whole and that this agenda will lead to an attack on the rights of the states to regulate the age of consent. Of course Marxism views the family as an oppressive concept and using sexuality rights and an attack on the age of consent would be the path towards destruction of the concept of family thus making each child more a member of the state then a member of his or her family.

The MSM, Hollyweird, and other corporate entities have been following an agenda of trying to sexualize children at younger and younger ages. Of course groups like Planned Parenthood have also followed an agenda of disrespecting the age of consent laws as well. Now by bringing gay sex ed and other agendas into the public schools they will make sexuality a right in the minds of children and work to turn them against any parents who may disagree.

We as parents need to stop the romancing of our girls too.

I can’t get over how many mom I hear giggle at the idea of a kindergarten girl or boy with a “boyfriend” or “girlfriend”. At that age, there is no difference in friends. Boy or girl, it’s just someone to play with.

We need to remember that society is pushing them to sex at an early age. We need to discourage it early.

And men, talk to your daughters about what boys want from them. Nothing tells a girl about “hormones” better than a Dad who is willing to be honest about their teenage sex drive. “Boys just want....” is good as gold. My Dad told me and I knew early what “being used” was.

I teach Sunday school for the 13 yr olds. It's a lot like herding cats, except the kids have shorter attention spans. One of the topics (morality) has adult connotations that simply are not present in the 13 yr old mind-set; at least for some of the kids.

Trying to relate to them, I told them that while their bodies are becoming that of an adult; their brains have yet to fully develop. I went on to tell them that for the next 6 or so years not only will they grow muscle faster than any other time in their life; they are capable of learning at a faster rate than most adults. They can pick up a foreign language faster - that is why they are encouraged to read, study and learn as much as they can.

We then discussed how immature the 10 yr olds are, and they agreed that they had changed a great deal in just 3 years. I asked them if they think they would change even more in another 3 years, and they agreed.

The topic then turned to 'thinking as an adult'. They didn't understand how an adult would think differently - so I asked a simple question. "Is anyone here physically incapable of driving a car?" They said they weren't allowed to drive, but I re-phrased the question "If the laws allowed it, and your parents allowed it - is there any reason you could not physically manage to turn the wheel, apply gas or brakes?" "No" they responded. Then I asked them "Then why are you not permitted to drive? You can physically manage the task". That made them think (and thinking is the prime goal for me).

The consequences of you making a mistake will likelkill you, or someone else. At your age, you do not fully grasp the physics involved of a ton of metal moving down the road at 65mph. No one is born with this knowledge; it's a learned response. Simply stated, experience teaches us; and you are now becoming aware of your surroundings to observe and learn. As you ride with your parents, you are now beginning to understand that they slow down before coming to the stop sign, they slow down when driving on ice. When you get your learners permit, you will then experience this first hand. But, at this point in time; the consequences for your mistake is too high for you, your family or society to bear. Over time, most 16 yr olds will learn and understand the great responsibility that is shared among drivers. Respect for yourself, your vehicle as well as respect for other drivers, their cars and pedestrians.

I've come to believe that the term was designed to diminish parental influence during the years when our growing children need the most direction.
It's a subtle way of telling us that we should relinquish our influence in their lives and allow the "professionals", who supposedly understand our sons and daughters better than we do, to help free them from parental prejudices.

Exactly right ... although not as subtle as it once was.

25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.

26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."

27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a "religious crutch."

28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of "separation of church and state."

40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.

41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.

Bless your child every day with loving, meaningful touch. Bless your child with positive words, and with a vision for his life of a bright future filled with hope. Bless your child by letting her know that as long as there is breath in you, you will be there for her. Bless your child by telling him there is a God who loves and created him with purpose.

Very good article - the above is right on the mark. There are many, many joys of parenthood and nothing on the face of this earth can surpass the blessed satisfaction of seeing one's child grow in wisdom, age and grace before God.
