Some parents say they're keeping their kids home from school this week because of a Black Lives Matter school discussion that includes Queer and Trans Affirmations.

In some other school districts, students have been asked to make a pledge to accepting the affirmations, but not in Ames.

"In some states they have made a pledge to support the 13 principles, but we are really having conversations about accepting and affirming differences." Says Dr. Anthony Jones, Director of Equity for Ames Community School District.

He says in Ames schools the discussions are about making sure all students feel accepted.

"It's about affirming yourself first, and how you identify, and then helping our students to affirm and appreciate and value their classmates in their celebration of themselves." Jones says.

Black lives matter
Queer lives matter
Trans lives matter
White lives matter....not so fast.

Incorrect. the first three are correct. The last should read
white lives matter.

Blacks
Queer
Trans are all superior, and deserve capitalization to emphasize importance.

Schools are getting ready to roll out

Sexuality Education.

How to change a NO to a YES.

Who to pick for a trusted adult

If you are not ready for intercourse, choose a hot bath with your partner

Your vagina can expand to hold nearly any sized object

It is fine to discuss sex and sexuality with an adult

This, in WA state is mandatory, with an opt out. Of course the kids who go through the curriculum will inform the ones held out of what they missed.

Instead of a Teacher grooming a child for sex, he is just mentoring.

RUN FOR SCHOOL BOARD PEOPLE.

That is why they come out with White supremacy and Insurrectionists being a problem.

While we spend our time denying that we are one or both of the above, BLM slips in without being opposed.

How can you prove you are NOT a supremacist or insurrectionist? IMPOSSIBLE.

They insist on making these children worship their baphomet God.

That's ok to them but don't you dare bring a Bible to school or mention Jesus Christ.

Parents should protest on the fact that it is their religion.

Conservatives should do effective homeschooling whenever practical. Defund the evil teachers unions.

Homeschool or not..you will still be paying school taxes.

Yes, not only must we all tolerate this crap, we must bow to it and say that it’s wonderful. We live in scary times.

I note that very few of the Burn Loot Murder felons are in prison!

I don’t have to prove or deny a damn thing! I haven’t Burned, Looted or Murdered! EVER!

"something mentally "off" about most of the people who dominate the advertising industry"


They are mostly queer folks, wanting to push their crap down our throats.

You will be paying taxes like everyone else depending on your level of income, the value of your property, where you live at etc.
What Republican state legislatures can do is to allow deductions for home schoolers.
In addition, less kids in public schools means fewer public schools and fewer teachers, so even if you pay taxes they will be used for projects that benefit you.

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. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

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.

Ames, a university town of 66,000. Half of the population is university students. The Left has successfully infiltrated, and destroyed, the education system.

This movement is making a lot of money for people like “Dr.” Jones. There’s an entire industry springing up of so-called experts in diversity and inclusion. Businesses and organizations are being bullied and guilted into hiring these experts.
