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."

A federal judge thinks we're a democracy.

New flash, your highness -- we're a REPUBLIC!

My question is: Where are the fathers?

Why would any father allow their child to be exposed to this?

"parents' rights to exercise their religious beliefs were not violated when their children were exposed to contrary ideas in school."

As long as we accept the notion that the federal government has some sort of "right" to control education, we will never see this trend reversed.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

As long as we accept the notion that one NEIGHBOR has some sort of control over the education of ANOTHER NEIGHBOR,,,we will never see an end to these bitter curriculum and school policy issues.

The solution: Complete privatization of education on every level ( federal, state, and LOCAL!)

Given the above statement, I still support Rep. Ron Paul's move to abolish the Department of Education. It just doesn't go far enough.

There was a time when the 3 r’s of public education were “reading and ‘riting and ‘rithmatic.” When education was first conceived in the hearts of the Puritans, its singular purpose was teaching children these academic disciplines.

But that idea soon became obsolete. As time passed, political correctness and humanism began infiltrating the upper levels of academia. Public education began transforming into a grotesque mutation of its original image. More and more the schools began assuming parental training responsibilities. In some cases, they replaced and actually contradicted the moral and social values of their students’ parents. It began with sex education. This seems like a completely legitimate function of school. After all, our children need to know the biology of the reproductive system. But the social engineers went much further and began distributing condoms, teaching “safe sex” while ridiculing the concept of abstinence, and promoting homosexuality by providing books explaining why some children “have two mommies.” That nonsensical approach to education was reinforced by Judge Wolf's ruling.

Social engineering has no place in the classroom. The government has no role in molding the social and political characters of our children. Public schools have one role and one role only—teach the kids! We don’t need you testing them for alcohol. We don’t need you giving them condoms. We don’t need you explaining why some kids have “two mommies.” If I want my kids to know any of that stuff, I will teach them. Or maybe I’ll choose not to teach them. Either way, you do not have the right to shape my child’s morals, political views, or sexual lifestyle. Teachers–do your job, teach the kids, and leave your social engineering strategies out of the classroom!

As a citizen of Massachusetts, I am disgusted. And the leaders of the state wonder why all the young families are leaving this state. Besides outrageous housing prices and the poor support of businesses, I think they should take a tally of how many young parents want their children's minds filled with immoral lies.

Are there any scholarships that can be established to spare the unfortunate children this kind of indoctrination? If not, then someone needs to be started.

So there is State sponsored religion in MA...and it is anti-Christian (well, anti-Islamic and anti-Jewish as well). How long before the likes of Hillary insist that it takes a village to raise a child and therefore the children of Christians will have to be taken away from them so they get the "proper" education?

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%.

The feminists support the gay rights movement. Left-wingers support the gay rights movement. Various liberal churches support the gay rights movement, plus the mainstream media. At this point, the NEA supports the gay rights movement as well as a lot of young people. They can be 2% of the population and achieve a lot with support from these other groups.

You already know the answer, my FRiend....nowhere to be found.

The antifamily agenda sown over the last couple of generations is bearing it's bitter harvest.
