Here here Kimmie7 we are homeschooling our kids and we live in one of the best school dist. in cal.

This is a sickness that will continue to spread as long as there are secularists running the country and school boards.

[Travis McGee]

I'm not surprised you defend the teaching of perversion to school children without the ability of parents to record what is happening on taxpayer paid public property.

How did you feel about "Fistgate" at Tufts, where middle schoolers were told how to properly lubricate for anal sex and anal "fisting?"

Very similar situation.

[patriot_wes]

No wonder Hilter loved the control the government had over public schools!

It is of Babylon this plague - get ye out of her my people!

[presidio9]

When one man told the students he was attracted to his sister's husband, Cariani said she started to record the ``propaganda, false information and lies.''

Doesn't anybody actually read the articles anymore? She wasn't taping the students.

[stylin19a]

yeah... but her tax dollars were there.

[Sam's Army]

"...so I'm not sure why she thinks she should be butting in."

Maybe because she pays taxes to the local school district? Why shouldn't any of us have a say in the educational(sic)process?

[Humidston]

>>I'd like to know exactly how many kids were in attendance, though.<<

Let me ask you a question: Given a choice between an assembly or regular class attendance, which would you have chosen when in high school?

[MineralMan]

"So let me understand your position. It sounds to me like because this was voluntary there is no victim here....

Okay what if the schools held siminars on Russian roulet? Voluntary of course."

Here's the deal: I don't know what the content of this thing was. It's not explained in the article. I don't know how many kids attended, either. There are homosexual teenagers. There are problems between these kids and some of the other kids at schools. That I'm sure of. This is supposed to be some sort of exercise in teaching tolerance.

Without having been at the thing, I have no idea of the content of the discussions.

This mother, who actually pulled her kids out of school that day, even though they wouldn't have been required to attend these events, was able to attend. It was when she began to videotape that she was told to stop. Frankly, I wouldn't want some random parent videotaping my kids, either, whatever the situation.

She could have stayed and seen what went on during the sessions. Since she is opposed to the whole thing, I'd imagine that would have been a good idea for her to stay.

So, essentially, I don't have enough information here.

Homosexual Agenda Ping.

It's getting hot and heavy. Threatened with arrest for taping the homo-propaganda being forcefed to kids?

And don't give me any backtalk about kids being able to "opt out". I've read what the homosexual promoters say and do about that. Make sure the "opt out" forms don't make it to parents in time, make sure that no graphics stuff is shown to parents, "lose" forms, make sure it is difficult for parents to get involved or know what is going on. And even if some kids opt out, they're attending school with a whole bunch who don't, whose parents either don't know what's going on or don't care.

Can anyone imagine this stuff happening 20 years ago? Parents threatened with arrest for taping what's going in IN SCHOOL?

Let me know if anyone wants on/off this pinglist.

[Petronski]

And this contributed to the students' education HOW?

Easy. He taught them all about the beauty of ass love.

‘gays’ in sports

Gays in my high school would have been subjected to some serious blindside hits in football practice. Not cool or condoning it, but it would have happened regardless.

'Let me ask you a question: Given a choice between an assembly or regular class attendance, which would you have chosen when in high school?
"

Me? I'd have stayed in class or have gone to the library, if those were my options. I had no interest in homosexuality then, and I don't now. I know there are people who are homosexuals, and that's there problem, not mine. There were kids in my high school who were homosexuals, even back in the early 60s when I attended. They didn't interest me, nor did their activities.

So, yes, I would have stayed in class or gone to the library.

So would you object to parents video-taping the school play or holiday chorus?

[rollo tomasi]

Gee, I don't remembering signing consent forums when people were filming assembly meetings during school hours when I was in school.

[MineralMan]

"So would you object to parents video-taping the school play or holiday chorus?"

Not the same thing.

I only skimmed what you posted (I just ate lunch and i want to try to keep it down), and I was struck by the idea or "multiculturalism," or reexamining stereotypes, etc.

I'm all for people reexamining and even questioning what we, the "baby boomers" were taught back in the Sally, Dick and Jane days, be it history, social norms, even religion. I have gone through times when I have heard and listened to "the other side of the story" or "revisionist history" or whatever. It's good to examine one's beliefs and understand WHY you think as you do, rather than just accepting what one is told. In the end, examine "what I was taught" back in the old days has ultimately strengthened my faith and deepened my appreciation for this country.

But this "critical thinking" or "healthy skepticism" is NOT what the kids being taught today. It seems to be a steady diet of the US is an evil bully, Christianity is bad, "traditional values" are an unhealthy, repressive straight jacket, heterosexuality is bigotry, etc. (I'm overstating the case a little, but not a lot in some places.)

In other words, these kids are being taught as rigidly and dogmatically as the strictest Catholic school of the 1930's. They don't have the basis - the basic knowledge of what our country is, etc. - in order to start questioning or thinking for themselves. They are being taught the America-bashing, Chirstian-bashing, etc. as THE PROPER AND ONLY WAY TO BE AND THINK! These liberals are not for tolerance and freedom of thought by any stretch of the imagination. They just want their agenda taught, and nothing else.

I know this is rambling, but it's a sin that we allow our kids to be brainwashed like this. Then when we see and hear their awful opinions of this country, we can only blame ourselves, for letting them be taught such garbage.

[Vn_survivor_67-68]

This is the kind of assembly in which they teach children how to protect themselves from feces (among other things) while "exploring their sexuality".

Bravo to this Mother!
