My response to her is simple....look bi*ch, public schools exist because they are funded by our tax dollars and therefore MUST be accountable to the people footing the bill. Contrary to her assertion, public schools don't belong to the liberal/homosexual/intolerant of our society.
I am heartened to see people taking legal action against perverse behavior that is condoned in public schools but would be considered contributing to the delinquency of a minor if it was done in a religion class, for example.
Perverted freaks do not have permission to expose to or indoctrinate children in their abhorrent, disgusting, amoral, animalistic lifestyle.
I doubt that my grandchild will ever set foot inside a public school until college, but I suggest the following plan of attack that I have broached with my daughter and her husband.
I will retain an attorney to draft a document stating clearly and comprehensively that any topics, presentations, outside speakers, forums, seminars etc. to which their child is to be subjected must be authorized by the parents of this minor child prior to involving this child in any of the above activities. The presentation of this notarized document will be preceeded by a complete examination of the curriculum planned for the year as well as the texts to be used. The document will conclude with a warning that legal action will be taken immediately against the staff, administration and all others involved should the prior review mandated by this document be violated. Notarized copies will be sent to the school board, principal, teachers' union president and state department of public instruction.
I will also encourage all other concerned parents to take similar steps and use this legal document as a template to recover control of our out-of-control public school system.
EODGUY
(holy cow....I DID it!!!)
As they once described a member of the World Wrestling Federation many years ago, you are the "total package".
=)
Now....can someone direct me to a good picture of a pig? You read that one right...I need a picture of a pig that I can use periodically. For those "special" occasions when one would "need" a piggy.
That is, after you go to the site I just pinged you to. You may have to go back a page or two so you can find out WHEN they actually came and took me to the hospital.....(everyone else, don't worry. I didn't really go. Shhhhh....it's a secret though)
As luck would have it, I live in the country on top of a bluff and could do what you suggest without attracting the attention of anyone except for a few deer and wild turkey (those who haven't been killed by snowmobile exhaust, that is).
:)
wow!</>(whoops)
I always thought that the pig went to the market for bread and milk. When we started reading to that story to our daughter, my wife said in front of her that the pig went as smoked shoulder and bacon. After much therapy, my daughter and I are coping with the trama.
Dewey, who reformed our education system to be what it is today, believed it's greatest value was in social engineering.
If the attitude of the woman from the ACLU were appropriate, then back in the 1970s when prayer was thrown out, the appropriate response would have been, "If non-Christians don't want to be exposed to this sort of thing they should home school or save their money and put their children in private school."
I'll bet if you took a poll the percentage of the population who objects to exposure to Same-sex Attraction Disorder (SAD) is far greater than the percentage who objects to mandatory prayer. So why should the larger group have to leave? Doesn't the majority rule?
Shalom.
I can still remember when the majority did rule. I hope I live to see it again.
Yeah, except it really used to tick me off when my little brother and sister would gang up to vote against my favorite TV show.
Shalom.
I feel your pain............I had two sisters so you know my voting success was just a little less than zero. :)
An excerpt from Centennial apologizes for allowing gay speakers by Tracy Jan, The Oregonian, 02/18/02
"GRESHAM -- Centennial High School officials apologized Friday for not allowing students to leave classes featuring gay and lesbian panelists as part of the school's annual diversity week.
About two dozen parents complained to the school that their children were forced to listen to discussions on homosexuality without first obtaining their permission.
Several speakers from Vanguard Youth Services, a Portland organization that offers programs for sexual minority youth, visited the high school's English, drama and health classes Monday as part of the four-day diversity week.
Students who felt uncomfortable during class said they were not warned about the topics and wouldn't have attended had they known.
"We didn't set an appropriate staging for this issue to be addressed in a right way," Centennial Principal Curt Heath said Friday. "I'm not saying this shouldn't be covered, but it does not represent our curriculum...."
