Government schools ALREADY try to hook kids onto welfare. The first day of every school year, my kids always bring home several welfare applications.

School children are MINORS. Could we charge the NEA with conspiracy to commit lewd acts with minors or contributing to the delinquency of a minor???

School children are not of consenting age. Is this a form of molestation?

"I think it's a pretty clear signal that the organization recognizes there are some pretty serious needs for gay and lesbian children in school - and employees,..."

I think there's a pretty clear need for my kid not to be exposed to this lunacy. I intend to fight these types of liberal indoctrination patterns as hard as I possibly can. School is there to teach my child how to perform academically. I am here to teach my child not only how to perform academically, but socially. I don't intend for some loser transgender moron to try to tell my son that his pathetic lifestyle choices are "ok".

Did you even read the article? It was about trying to prevent discrimination and violence.

Negative, pal. The article was about trying to force a left-wing agenda on our children with complete disregard for what we as parents collectively think. Now, I realize that there are a lot of liberals in this country who think that it's perfectly fine to tell children at a very young age that homosexuality is normal, but I can assure you that I, and a lot more like me, have been telling our children that it is NOT normal, it is an abomination, and that the loons at the schools should be tuned out on the subject.

What if your child turned out to be gay? Would you still condone discrimination and violence against homosexuals?

My child will not turn out gay. My child has been raised with Christian values. This is not about "violence and discrimination against homosexuals", this is about school administrations forcing a left-wing agenda on conservative families like ours!

I think you do a great disservice to your child by assuming his/her sexuality, and instilling him/her with derogatory and disrespectful attitudes about people who they might one day realize that they are.

Oh, really? Au contraire, I believe that I am setting a good example for him. I don't instill a derogatory attitude and disrespect about PEOPLE -- I inform him that their actions are WRONG -- just like I inform him that it is WRONG to murder, rob banks, commit adultery, etc. It appears to be quite telling that you "know many, many gays". You know dude, I don't hang out with drug dealers, because I think they are morally wrong. I don't hang out with gays, because I think they are morally wrong. I don't want ANYONE teaching my child moral relevance. Be gone!

read #29, it expresses my sentiments exactly!

[gcraig]

Might I ask why one sexuality is morally wrong, yet another is acceptable?

Because God says that it's morally unacceptable to be a homosexual.

Personally, my morality can be summed up quite easily..."Don't Hurt Anyone". Very simple. Muderers violate the rights of others.

I believe that children lose their innocence by learning about homosexuality at a young age. I believe that it "hurts kids" to teach them this insanity. I've got other stuff to do now, so I'm signing off of this debate. Know one thing: I won't tolerate a grown man teaching my child about homosexuality. Ever.

Re: #29 Have to agree with you there. A discussion with children about "tolerance" of homosexuals requires detail about that which differentiates homos from heteros. We know that the only difference is the private, personal and intimate method by which they behave in bed with another person. Schools have no business in this arena.
