Exactly!
"In the ruling, Wolf makes the absurd claim that normalizing homosexuality to young children is 'reasonably related to the goals of preparing students to become engaged and productive citizens in our democracy.' According to Wolf, this means teaching 'diversity' which includes 'differences in sexual orientation.'"
There are many variations in sexual orientation. How far will schools go? They must be "diverse" you know. There are many variations in sexuality, will schools teach 6 and 7 year olds about bisexuality, transgenderism, polygamy, incest, beastiality, asexuality, autosexuality, and other variety or subvariety of these?
I agree!
The Cultural War is On! BRING IT ON! It is the SCALIA court.
Any FR people out there that have courage and guts please take this to the SUPREMES!
God bless.
The judge is only speaking what has been, until now, the unspoken agenda of government schooling. The important question now is, Will Christian parents remove their children from godless schools? The answer is no. The schools have been godless for some time now. Self-described Christians have a track record of being more interested in free babysitting than their children's moral and spiritual well-being.
"An exodus from class when issues of homosexuality or same-sex marriage are to be discussed could send the message that gays, lesbians, and the children of same-sex parents are inferior and, therefore, have a damaging effect on those students," he opined.
You should. Here in MA, all the kids in our neighborhood were getting on the bus today.
It was tried before in the '90s with the reauthorization of the elementary and secondary education act, which mandated the certification of "all teachers." This was a backdoor method of destroying homeschooling. When homeschoolers caught wind of it, they shut down the Capitol switchboard and this portion of the bill was killed.
They'll get my kids over my dead body.
"Sounds like something a Nazi would say."
When it quacks like a duck.....
That's my wife, but our kids are getting a great education. Get a pre-packaged curriculum for whatever your faith is, and just dive in. Give the kids the lesson plans and tell them that once their work is done, they can go out and play.
You'd be surprised how much they can do and learn in a short amount of time 8-)
We've been doing this for six years. Our kids are both 1-2 grade levels ahead in all of their courses. They know more Catechism and Bible than I do, and neither girl knows who Britney Spears is.
while you still can. Look at Germany. Does anyone doubt we are heading in the same direction?
This is the frontline in the battle of the left and the right. The left has no principles, no ethics, no shame. They will resort to any kind of tactics to get their way. They will destroy people to get where they want to go.
But, would it not better if conscious parents kept children in public schools and resisted like these families in Lexington? If more people joined them the other side would be stopped before further expansion.
Isn't better to resist before they come to your home?
To me, it's like putting children on the front lines in a battle. It would have little effect, except to destroy the children.
As a taxpayer, I have as much a right to voice my concerns regarding the running of gov't schools as any other parent, which in practice is, sad to say, little to none. Public schools are simply impregnable to parental input. I have first hand knowledge of this, having run for school committee myself, from watching school committees in action when they've forced through compulsory "sex ed" programs, and from studying the history of compulsory gov't schooling.
The teacher unions run the schools. And the ideology that they put forward is taken up from the leading schools of ed, like the Columbia Teachers College.
The only way out of this morass is to pay off the teacher unions (with large severance packages) in exchange for a full-fledged voucher program. Aside from homeschooling and private schooling, there is no other way out of the status quo.
I say let's teach the children how dangerous a gay lifestyle can lead to devastating diseases etc......
In the societies ruled by the Communists, parents could not take their children from the public schools. The resistance in subtle and informal ways slowly grew. In the end Communists were not able to brainwash children.
If Commies were smarter, maybe they would allow the safety valve allowing the most conscious and determined families to opt out of the system.
Never in a MILLION years would I allow a public school district to indoctrinate my children into think homosexuality is normal.
Where have you been?
I say let's teach the children how dangerous a gay lifestyle can lead to devastating diseases etc......
That would be too logical..
