U.S. court upholds same-sex teaching to children
17 minutes ago
A federal judge in Boston has dismissed a suit by two families who wanted to stop a Massachusetts town and its public school system from teaching their children about gay marriage, court documents show.
The families last year filed the suit asserting that the reading of a gay-themed book and handing out to elementary school students of other children's books that discussed homosexuality without first notifying parents was a violation of their religious rights.
Federal Judge Mark Wolf ruled on Friday that public schools are "entitled to teach anything that is reasonably related to the goals of preparing students to become engaged and productive citizens in our democracy."
"Diversity is a hallmark of our nation. It is increasingly evident that our diversity includes differences in sexual orientation," he said.
He said the courts had decided in other cases that parents' rights to exercise their religious beliefs were not violated when their children were exposed to contrary ideas in school.
The complaint filed against the town of Lexington, about 12 miles west of Boston, had said the school had "begun a process of intentionally indoctrinating very young children to affirm the notion that homosexuality is right and normal in direct denigration of the plaintiffs' deeply held faith."
The book that sparked the case was "King & King" which tells the story of a crown prince who rejects a bevy of beautiful princesses, rebuffing each suitor until falling in love with a prince. The two marry, sealing the union with a kiss, and live happily ever after.

Exactly the kind of gay agenda crap Rudy wants his supporters to push in every classroom in America. Sick.
Federal Judge Mark Wolf ruled on Friday that public schools are "entitled to teach anything that is reasonably related to the goals of preparing students to become engaged and productive citizens in our democracy."
So using this judge's line of logic, creationism should be allowed to be taught as part of the science curriculum.
Prostelyzing homosexuality to young children is a Constitutionally protected right of the NEA.
So he obvioiusly would approve of teaching Christian values to children then......
Some say homosexuals are only 2% of the population. I aint buying it. There is no way 2% of the population can get this kind of crap put over on the other 98%.
Homosexuals want this crap taught to kids for only one reason. Recruitment.
The idea of being born queer is BS. If they were born queer they wouldnt need the government and the schools doing their recruiting for them.
Queer clubs in High School are abominations. They are just a way of meeting for sexual purposes. Yet if you tried to star a Straight club for Swinging teen couples, the same people whor are pushing this sexual club for fruits would crap their pants.
Appointed in 1985 - apparently by President Ronald Reagan.
How unfortunate. Proof that we are all human and can make mistakes,

Judge orders 'gay' agenda taught to Christian children
"I give up.........."
I don't think so
See the link at post 8:
>>>>Wolf essentially adopted the reasoning in a brief submitted by a number of homosexual-advocacy groups, who said "the rights of religious freedom and parental control over the upbringing of children
would undermine teaching and learning

Romans 1:21-31
1:21 Because, though they knew God, they did not glorify him as God, nor were they thankful; but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish hearts were darkened.
1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
1:23 And exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling corruptible man, and birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things.
1:24 Therefore God gave them up, through the lusts of their own hearts, to sexual impurity, to dishonour their own bodies among themselves:
1:25 Because they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
1:26 For this cause God gave them up to vile affections: for even their women exchanged natural relations for that which is against nature:
1:27 And likewise the men, leaving their natural relations with woman, burned in their lust toward one another; men with men doing that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.
1:28 And as they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper.
1:29 They were filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, covetousness, malice; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malevolence; whisperers,
1:30 Slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
1:31 Without understanding, untrustworthy, without natural affection, unmerciful:
Federal Judge Mark Wolf ruled on Friday that public schools are "entitled to teach anything that is reasonably related to the goals of preparing students to become engaged and productive citizens in our democracy."

Using this judge's line of logic, nothing is off limits.
Homeschooling.
Wow, you sure aren't much of a conservative, are you?
-Also-
No one has brought up what the Muslim
children/parents have to say...hmmm.
I bet one concerned reply from an Imam would
stop the school district.
What's next, Bestiality 101?
This is why I don't want vouchers. It will only be a matter of time before they will be required to comply with a public school social agenda.
The book King & King is stupid and unrealistic - a realistic ending would be that the manly knights of the kingdom end up slaying the gay prince to uphold the honor of the kingdom - and ensure whoever is the king will sire the next heir to the throne.
