Will they be taught Obama is the “first gay president?”
Via Miami Herald:
Broward County School Board members on Wednesday are expected to approve a formal resolution in support of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender History Month, which takes place every October.
The LGBT History Month tradition, started in 1994 by a Missouri high school teacher, has previously been recognized and promoted by a wide assortment of politicians, including members of Congress and Mayor Michael Nutter of Philadelphia. In all of Philadelphia’s municipal buildings, for example, a rainbow flag is flown alongside the U.S. flag every October.
Honoring gay history within the realm of K-12 education is still a groundbreaking (and potentially controversial) public statement. Unlike California, which last year added LGBT history to the state’s education curriculum, Broward’s resolution is nonbinding, and largely symbolic.
The resolution seems to leave the door open for schools to voluntarily promote LGBT History Month, if they so choose.
“Administrators, teachers, staff, parents and students are encouraged to take part in LGBT History Month in any way that is most positive and uplifting to their schools and communities,” the proposed resolution states. “And to coordinate efforts to highlight exemplary role models from the LGBT community.”
And, now this morning, I am reading that in NYC, thirteen schools are giving “Morning After” pills (and birth control pills) to students age 14, without notifying the parents. (Only 2% of parents have opted out.)
What a horrible MESS this country has become!

Another reason to Home School.
And yes, it CAN be done. A friend of mine is home schooling all six of her children, and her husband works very hard to support them all.
Money IS an issue, but she soldiers on!
I would think half of Broward County supports this and the other half is too uninformed to know it is being proposed.
Now a magazine cover such as this would thrill tens of millions of Americans and sell out quickly.
Are there really any conservative school districts? All are dependent on gubmint money and must toe the liberal line. Some are just more discreet about their liberalism. The American people are too uninformed to know.
I would think that most of these parents are so uninformed themselves that they don’t even know there are elections for school boards. And they wouldn’t have a clue about what candidates to support if they did. Most school board candidates are unspoken liberals; rarely does a candidate make an overtly “conservative” campaign effort.
Tampa homeschool family bump.
Of course. Compliance with the Hive Mind is never .... optional.
Better guess: Eight percent and 60% respectively.
