A wake up call for parents - Part 2 - public school indoctrination in sexual diversity
As a follow-up to yesterday's post about Boulder, CO public school students being urged to experiment with drugs and all forms of sex, I dug into my files to find some stuff I'd written when I lived in Sonoma County and was working as the California editor for Focus on the Family's Citizen magazine.
Parents, you really need to know that there is a strong movement within the education establishment of this country to "teach tolerance" by beginning in kindergarten to normalize homosexuality and heap contempt on parents whose problem is not hatred or intolerance but a strong regard for what is appropriate in public schools.
If this sounds alarmist to you, you might consider that perhaps you need to be alarmed. For while you are busy making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and driving to soccer, there are a number of activists - relatively small, but religiously zealous - who are working overtime to accomplish a political agenda which every parent in America needs to understand and stand ready to deal with when it hits your community.
California tends to lead the nation as it drifts leftward. I did the research for many articles in the California state insert, as well as this feature in Citizen in July 2001:
Click on the title for some startling stuff that was going on in California seven years ago which has now caught up to families in Boulder, CO - and plenty of other places too.
Here where I live in Virginia, there's a teensy group who'd love to see the same outrageous stuff in our public schools. They fight against anything that stands in the way of promoting the sexualization of our children.
One might wonder what's it in for childless homosexuals who harangue the public schools each time an abstinence speaker offers a secular presentation on the wisdom of avoiding promiscuity and disease. I'm sure these concerned citizens would applaud a speaker like Joel Becker, part of the Lesbian and Gay Psychotherapy Association of Southern California, who told the Boulder students:
"Now, what is healthy sexual behavior? Well, I don't care if it's with men and men, women and women, men and women -- whatever combination you would like to put together,"
They say it's in the name of making sure homosexual kids are not bullied. While we can all agree that bullying is intolerable, it's not difficult to see that teaching compassion and kindness and building character in students is what is called for - not encouragement to experiment and pressure to declare their sexual status prematurely or as a ticket to rebellious chic - much like a tattoo.
As Camille Paglia - an intellectual lesbian/college professor who thinks outside the box - has written in answer to gay activist charges that suppressed homosexuality leads to teen suicides:
“In most cases, the suicide attempts are probably not due to homophobic persecution but to troubled family relations – which may be the source of the social maladjustment and homosexual impulses in the first place. Trumpeting gayness in adolescents short-circuits their psychological inquiry and growth.”"The intrusion of militant gay activism into primary schools does more harm than good by encouraging adolescents to define themselves prematurely as gay, when in fact most teens are wracked by instability, insecurity, and doubt.”
Keep in mind that that is not someone in a church lady hat talking, but a very high-profile lifelong lesbian who obviously thinks through issues rather than jumping on the gender-identity bandwagon.
Btw, my comments here calling into question the homosexual political agenda have inspired hate speech aplenty about me. But why should I drive traffic to lonely and unproductive websites whose identity is founded on only on bitterness and irrational hatred? Seeing them once is plenty to confirm my belief that it is not those who question this political agenda who are filled with hatred, but those who defend it.
