....we need more parents to stop being so PC and start realizing what is happening in the schools and take their children out and place them in private schools or home-school them!

GrandMoM....I understand your frustration, because I, too, am frustrated.....it is as though we are being surrounded in a battle, and we have few weapons. It is so outrageous (what is going on) that I think many just don't believe it, which is part of the problem. We are fighting the "silence day" on April 10th (see another thread) and the use of children to promote acceptance of something many find unacceptable (or at least immoral). We have GOT to put together a "platform" which addresses the reasons why school superintendents should NOT follow down the suggested NEA path (i.e. early death for homosexuals, percent of kids affected (few); their mission (teaching reading, writing, arithmetic - not sexual orientation issues.) They are pushing an agenda which will tear apart the lives of many mixed up kids. Our RANTING here is not concerted, organized, etc.....we MUST work with other organizations to address these issues, individually, but with a similar message, outside of the religious one. OK, I'll step off my soapbox now...but, is anyone interested in the platform idea?

I suggest we need more Christian parents attending school board meetings, running or encouraging other Christian parents to run, and voting in the board elections. The school board meetings I have attended are poorly attended at best, and the polls are places of rest rather than flurries of voting activity.
