2) Please call Governor Christie at 609-292-6000 and tell him to veto the "week of respect"
3) Please send the above in email to everyone you know who cares for 1.38 million schoolchildren
What has Christie said about this?
I can even bewgin to imagine he would support it
He is too smart to fall for the “anti-bullying” title
I can picutre him at a new conference “this has nothing to do with bullying- this is promoting gay agenda under the disguise of a nice name and I am not going to sign this baloney”
If there was truly any need for a special “anti-bullying” law, then that need existed regardless of and without current media-mantra attention about “bullying” with respect to a single demographic of the population - “gays”.
Yet, prior to this media-mantra issue, cities, towns and schools had at their disposal laws and school regulations to address an issue of a “bully’s” actions crossing the line from mere speech to behavior involving violence, intimidation with violence, stalking, disruption of a classroom, physical assault and many other infractions of law and regulations - WITHOUT ANT SPECIFIC “BULLYING” LAW.
So, let us all NOT be surprised that the language of this New Jersey law demonstrates that for it too the issue IS NOT about being a “bully” it’s about being “gay”; and thus THAT is the focus of the education mandates in the law. Why should we have expected anything less?
Just can not help myself sometimes.
It’s about controlling what you can say and think about gays from your earliest years. It’s mind control.
Bullying already is not allowed, we don’t need anti gay bullying education and “respect” anymore than we need a week of respect given to heterosexual BJ’s.
In fact, I damn well want a week dedicated to the latter before the former gets anything. /s
Hey, maybe the ACLU can help Christians win a “week of respect”??
Knew an old fellow who interrupted one of his wife’s social gatherings when they started talking about “gay rights”, by reminding them “we are talking about one man blank another man blank blank blank.”
How in hell can that be a subject in kindergarten? To these liberal kooks “gay” is some higher form of spirituality, as is “muslim” or any “minority” (including women who aren’t a minority) or anything “green” (which usually isn’t). It’s not reality it’s just leftist agenda.
Leave it to the liberal agenda - They used to say “You can’t legislate morality.” Libs believe you can legislate ANYTHING! Go figure.
“Public schools are the nurseries of all vice and immorality.”
-Henry Fielding (1707–1754) Not much has changed, eh?
Why is it that anything to do with “bullying” or “safe schools” (see: NAMBLA “safe schools czar” Kevin Jennings) has a ‘homosexual flavor’ to it? You’d almost think the tolerant left was trying to brainwash or indoctrinate the next generation or something.
We shall see. Hopefully he is back from vacation.
These freaks will be horrified to know what I tell my children about these freaks, and what God (who could not be wrong) did to them.
If Christie signs this, there is NO WAY he will ever get my vote for President. Not that he would anyhow, being the hoplophobe he is...
He put a little Romans 1 on them...
Governor Christie is neither an out-and-out RINO nor a true social conservative. He is very comfortable with gay civil unions and very uncomfortable with gay marriage (either out of conviction or political alliances with social cons).
So far, social conservative opposition to the bill has failed to capture the public imagination amid a failure to focus on a message that has traction with the public at large. For example, concerns about the free-speech threat to the first amendment rights of kids and teachers to tell gays in and out of school that there is no gay gene have failed to arouse popular anger and protest.
This article is a welcome, albeit, last-minute attempt to change that by focusing on an issue that Joe six-pack can relate to.
The Gov has kept totally silent on the issue and is waiting for the last minute to move. He has probably made his decision more on the basis of policy and law than on any moral considerations. He has three options:
1) Ignore the bill and it automatically becomes law. This is unlikely because Governor Christie is too “in your face” to do nothing.
2) Veto it entirely. Unlikely because the risk of override by the State Senate is too great.
3) Veto it conditionally as long as offending sections chosen by the Gov are not removed. It then goes back to both Assembly and Senate. Intel from a reliable source is that the Gov is expected to use a conditional veto. It would take 2/3 of the Senate (the Assembly is a foregone conclusion) to override the veto and depending on what he vetos, the rationale he uses and a rallying of some public support for his position he may or may not survive an over-ride.
A big question for social conservatives is whether he will use the conditional veto on the “week of respect” and teaching parts of the bill.

They are not NJ's kids...They are the U.S. governments children...Therefore, the groveling serfs who turned their former offspring over to those who operate the government indoctrination asylums should just zip it!
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.
That's right. Public school parents throw their kids to the lions, because they want the extra paycheck more than their kids. Other parents are just too lazy to raise their own kids. Either way, they feel they're off the hook. They just sit around, complain and blame it on someone else.
School choice was once a big issue, but parents didn't want the hassle of possibly being responsible for the kids transportation. It was easier for them to just let the kids rot away in the public schools and play ignorant.
Its a bad law for this and more.
Its just another one of these “single incidence” name game type laws enacted out of alleged grief for a victim.
I thought I read somewhere this guy had taken the videos himself and he actually committed suicide for another reason.
Chris Chistie will check with his RINO boss, Tom Kean Senior, and then sign it.
