(Gay) School Days -What would schools look like if they were run by homosexual activists? In Califor
Citizen Magazine ^ | by Barbara Curtis

Marin County, just north of San Francisco via the Golden Gate Bridge, is one of the most affluent counties in the nation, with a median home price of $529,000. Home to U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer, it's also one of the most liberal. When Californians voted overwhelmingly for Proposition 22, placing the state on record against same-sex "marriages," Marin was one of only four counties to buck the tide.

Even so, Marin has its relatively conservative enclaves. Drive to the northernmost city of Novato (population 47,000), with its lower home prices and family-friendly atmosphere, and you'd think you were in a typical modest-sized American town. So when Greg and Lisa sat down to dinner one evening in late February and asked their fourth-grade son, Kenny, to tell them about his school day, they weren't ready for what they heard.

"We had an assembly today," Kenny said. "We learned that there are all kinds of families," including "two mommies" and "two daddies." He also shared some of the words he'd learned for the first time that day:homosexual, lesbian, faggot.
Kenny wasn't the only child to bring home such a report. All the second- through fifth-graders at Pleasant Valley School had been called to an assembly, where they learned slogans like "I'm gay and it's OK," reinforced by various skits-like one in which Rapunzel cut her hair and ran away with her girlfriend. The show made an impact.
"Daddy, am I a lesbian?" one third-grade girl asked. "I like girls better than boys."

The group behind the assembly bore an innocent-sounding name, Cootie Shots. But it turned out to be an offshoot of Fringe Benefits, a theater group that gets public funds for "tolerance of diversity" performances in high schools and middle schools throughout the Los Angeles Unified School District.

Now the group is targeting much younger kids, because-in the words of a longtime Fringe Benefits booster, Steven Hicks of the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) of Los Angeles-"It is imperative to begin addressing these issues in the elementary schools as early as possible."

Lots of parents were upset at the show and at the fact that they hadn't been given any warning. Lots of them complained to the principal and the superintendent, though so far to little effect. But few of them, including Greg and Lisa, would let their real names be used for this story. In Marin County, as one resident said,

"Traditional-minded folk stay in the closet if they don't want to be known as hatemongers. People who don't live here just don't know what it's like."

Marin County isn't unusual, however. The Golden State is being swept by a lavender wave, as gay activists overrun classrooms statewide.

And if parents and churches don't mobilize fast, that wave just might sweep the country.

Well, for one thing, the game "dodge ball" would take on a whole new meaning.

"Cootie shots" is an innocent-sounding name for these gay-lesbian trainers? Bizarre.

Are the Homosexuals running out of partners? Or is it that they like children? For an agenda is showing here. Targeting children with explicit sexual content when done by parents is called Child Molestation by the state and grounds for having your kids forcibly removed from your care. Why does the State call it cootie shots when it is done by teachers and PAY to have it DONE?

The demolition of American society and decent culture continues unabated.

This time it is courtesy of your (surprise!) mandated government school. Paid for with your tax dollars, of course!!

Too true.

The only way these a**holes are going to be stopped is by bleeding 'em dry.

I'm talking about lawsuits; I'm talking about HUGE settlements. It worked against the Klan, and it's a tactic long held by the liberal factions of this country.

Time to fight fire with fire.

The contemptible arrogance on the part of the school officials, to allow this, needs to be dealt with. When public schools assume a role in shaping attitudes in a different direction than that which the parents wish, they engage in a most deplorable form of child abuse. The children are not theirs to brainwash. They have no legitimate role whatsoever in substituting the values of the far Left for those of the children's parents.

This is not an issue on which there should be any compromise. If we do not preserve our values with the next generation, it is all over. The American Republic will be replaced first by a form of anarchy and then by whatever force picks up the pieces.

The disgusting moral message in this is outrageous enough. But parents can and should take the time, before their children even start school, to teach them that evil people may try to confuse them in this manner. You don't have to go into the physical details to teach your children that a family is a man, a woman, and their children--never two "Mommies" or two "Daddies."

But the idea that schools have a role in trying to turn your children against your values needs to be addressed as a separate issue. And it needs to be addressed with the outrage that it deserves!

It's garbage like this that drove us to send our children to private school. The liberals use public schools as a petri dish for government social engineering experiments. When we went to open houses at public schools (local, charter and magnet), the principals would talk about "tolerance," diversity, open-mindedness, etc. What they rarely (and in some instances never) discuss was curriculum. Gee, I wonder how John Walker Lindh could have developed in Marin County?

What happened to the theory regarding ‘Corruption of Minors’?

Defined as any act which corrupts or tends to corrupt the morals of any minor less than 18 years of age, or who aids, abets, entices or encourages any such minor in the commission of any crime, or who knowingly assists or encourages such minor in violating their morals.

"Traditional-minded folk stay in the closet if they don't want to be known as hatemongers.

That's exactly what the queers have programed society to do.

A media campaign to promote the Gay Victim image makes use of symbols which reduce the mainstream’s sense of threat, which lower its guard, and which enhance the plausibility of victimization. In practical terms, this means that jaunty mustachioed musclemen would keep a very low profile in gay commercials and other public presentation, while sympathetic figures of nice young people, old people, and attractive women would be featured. (It almost goes without saying that groups on the farthest margin of acceptability, such as NAMBLA, must play no part at all in such a campaign; suspected child-molesters will never look like victims).

Portray gays as victims, not as aggressive challengers. In any campaign to win over the public, gays must be cast as victims in need of protection so that straights will be inclined be reflex to assume the role of protector. If gays are presented, instead, as a strong and prideful tribe promoting a rigidly nonconformist and deviant lifestyle, they are more likely to be seem as a public menace that justifies resistance and oppression. For that reason, they must forego the temptation to strut their “gay pride” publicly when it conflicts with the Gay Victim image. And they must walk the fine line between impressing straights with their great numbers, on the one hand, and sparking the hostile paranoia -- “They are all around us!” -- on the other.

These outrages will continue and continue until they have become routine, unless the people who push these policies have a well-founded fear of grievous bodily harm from incensed parents.
