Home Where They Belong ~ Yet Another New Gay Curriculum for California Public Schools

12:58 AM, Jun. 10, 2009

California is always coming up with a new way to teach the homosexual agenda, the latest being a curriculum for K-5 grades. Starting with a book about gay penguins (if they make them cute and cuddly then who can be against them?), up to sexual orientation.

If the curriculum is adopted by the school board they say that parents will not have the right to remove their children for the day. I say hogwash. You always hold that right. On any given day you can walk into the school and remove your child. You don't need anyone's permission. The only permission you would truly be asking for is a leniency on grades. Flunking a child for a whole year because they didn't attend the gay studies day isn't terribly likely and in the event that it is, is that really a school you want your child to attend? I'd hardly be upset because my child got a lower grade because he wasn't there to hear about the plight and trials of antrhopomorphed, flightless birds.

What will more likely happen is the parents won't even be notified what day the curriculum will be presented, so that parents won't plan ahead to keep their children out of school.

The schools keep reporting that these studies are only about stopping bullying. If that was truly the case then why not a book and curriculum about bullying itself and not about gay penguins? Why is there never a book and curriculum in the classroom dedicated to not bullying the special needs child, or the children who grow up on farms instead of the city? (Oh yes, us country children have had our fair share of being bullied for being "country bumpkins.")

The curriculum isn't about being kind and showing respect for a human life that God has created, its about trying to convince others that a homosexual lifestyle isn't sinful and therefore perfectly acceptable. As a parent, you are the one who will stand before God and be held accountable for what you allowed your child to be taught. You won't get to pawn it off on the teachers. Your children are your responsibility, bring them home where they belong and teach them true respect, kindness, and love.

Kudos for speaking the truth

It is rare that we hear someone as eloquent and as truthful as your posts here on The Company Front Porch. This posting was perfectly on target with my views and spoken with such elegance and grace. It is easy for the homosexual agenda to become confused with other fruits of the spirit such as kindness and meekness and gentleness. Some would have us believe that it is not Christian to criticize or even hold others accountable. I appreciate greatly your view that it is us as Christian parents who will one day be held accountable to what we let our children learn as much as what we taught them ourselves. I think the relentless push for the homosexuality-is-a-choice and perfectly acceptable is a manifestation of another insidious push within the public schools for the secular humanistic value system that dethrones the King of the Universe.

Kudos to you for speaking the truth in such a clear and Biblical way.
