LEXINGTON, MASSACHUSETTS, APRIL 27. Lexington parent, David Parker, was arrested today by the Lexington Police for “trespassing” at his son’s elementary school during a scheduled meeting with the principal and the city’s Director of Education over his objections to homosexual curriculum materials and discussions in his son’s kindergarten class.

At the meeting, Parker demanded that the school inform him when homosexual subjects are to be discussed with his son, and allow his son not to be included in such activities. He said he would not leave until his request was granted. The Principal and the city’s Director of Education both refused his request. They then telephoned the Superintendent of Schools who also refused. Police were called, who told Parker that unless he left the school he would be arrested.

Statement by David Parker(April 27, 2005):

“I, David Parker, am the father of a kindergarten student at Estabrook Elementary School in Lexington, Massachusetts. Since the beginning of this school year, my wife and I have learned that school materials and discussions about gay-headed households/same-sex union issues have been exposed to the children. There are definitive plans to increase the teacher/staff/adult mediated discussions of these subjects.

“We have officially stated on many occasions—to the Lexington school administration—a request that we be notified when these discussions are planned, and want our 6-year-old opted out of such situations when arising “spontaneously”.

“Our parental requests for our own child were flat-out denied with no effort at accommodation. In our meeting on April 27, I, insisted that such accommodation be made and refused to leave the meeting room. I was informed that I would be arrested.”

Parker will be arraigned on Thursday, April 28, in Concord District Court at 9 am. “This is an unbelievable outrage,” said Brian Camenker, a friend and Newton, Mass. parent. “It’s where last year’s same-sex ‘marriage’ ruling has brought us.”

If you are going to involve heteronormative stories in school children's readings, it's only fair and sensible to include alternative home situations

Only if you subscribe to the social liberal fraud of moral equivalence.

"Heteronormative" familes are the bedrock of our civilization. The gay lifestyle is incapable of generating families and any suggestion that "gay families" are morally equivalent is an outrageous and dangerous fraud.

The father ought to have the right to opt his child out of this garbage.

Homeschool bump!

[Blood of Tyrants]

Not with the RINO's in the Senate and the SC we now have.

oh my

[Holicheese]

I salute your fair play and upstanding reputation as a non-leveler of shenanigans!

[Guenevere]

#96...Yes, this is true.....

...and they ridiculed her out of town....
..tore her family and career to pieces.

[Blood of Tyrants]

If that was my son, they would learn the OLD meaning of "fisting".

[Liberal Classic]

You could always combine the two and get something like O'Zlamaljelito, which, roughly translated, means grandson of he who broke the black pudding.

[Mrs.Nooseman]

I agree with both of you ,on staying and being actively involved in our children's education!

I myself had good results with my children's teachers and they all appreciate and welcome it!

[longtermmemmory]

The MSM will burry this.

If oreily covers this he will support the homosexual "sensitivity" view.

This father's story MUST be made public!

He did not say stopy the homosexuals, just keep his son away from the homosexuals. I would put his story front and center of every marriage amendment commercial.

[fortunecookie]

And child services will swoop in to 'save' the child.

How can a parent be trespassing at a public school?

[mountn man]

But you have to realize this is PUBLIC school and a PUBLIC school does not discriminate against students who might have homosexual parents, single parents, step-parents, remarried parents, etc. If you are going to involve heteronormative stories in school children's readings, it's only fair and sensible to include alternative home situations. It's PUBLIC school.

What about parents who are Christians and are trying to raise their kids in a Christian environment? Are the Christian values placed on an equal and level plane as any other value or lifestyle?

Is creationism taught with dignity and respect?

When kids hear about Johnny's 2 daddies, and the loving and wonderful relationship they all have, and the wonderful things that Johnny's daddies do in the community. Do they also hear of Becky's mommy AND daddy? And all the wonderful things they do as a family. And the things that Becky's parents do at their church and community?

[Gabz]

I adore your grammar lessons........they keep me on my toes.

[Guenevere]

As James Dobson of Focus on the Family has recently started saying....

..after years of telling parents to 'work within the public schools'...

...he now says...Abandon the public schools!!...It's too late to make a difference!

Save your children!

[Red Badger]

...why they didn't just take the children from the parents at teh (sic) hospital door."

They want you to change the diapers, potty train them, wean them and furnish the clothing.......

[Freedom Blitz]

We need to be able to take OUR MONEY with us when we leave public schools.

...starting to hate what is left of this once great Nation.

Fear not. As more and more homeschooled kids move through college and take their places in society, there will begin to be more and more people with backbone and moral fiber in positions of leadership and influence. I know that, for my part, I am not molding my children into compliant little cookie-cutter 9-to-5 employee types. My kids are strong-willed, independent minded, action oriented visionaries in-the-making. These are aspects of who they are that they were born with and our education of them is refining these positive traits into power tools that will be assets to them throughout their lives. And that's just my kids; there are thousands and thousands of others engaging the same process.

There is a mighty army quietly building in livingrooms and dens all over this land, as parents inculcate character, ethics and morality at home; equipping their children with the knowledge of their place in history, the strength of their convictions, the power to reason from principle, the skill to craft an airtight argument, and the will to exercise their influence to elevate their corrupt world from the social sewer. That army is now being deployed on the American stage and a revolution has begun that has the power to transform this nation without firing a single shot.

Our national descent into foolishness has not been an overnight process, nor will our recovery be so, but we will persevere. Stay strong. Keep praying. Keep fighting for truth.

Liberty and Justice will triumph.
