The Ten Commandents? Taxes? Gas prices? Illegal Immigrants? The War on Terra? Laura Bush calling herself a Feminist?
Well, I’m sure all of the aforementioned are issues that do indeed concern them, but nothing right now gets their pet goat as much as “the single most important moral issue facing America” today: Getting the Homosexual Agenda Out of Our Schools.
Concerned Women for America, a $10 million-a-year nonprofit and lobbying group, announced their “risk audit plan” in late April. The plan seeks to engage parents in a broad national effort to target schools which “promote” gay and lesbian activity by embracing non-discrimination policies and safe-sex curricula or harbor “objectionable” gay and lesbian novels aimed at children.
“Every school district in America has an absolute responsibility to protect children while they are at school,” the group writes in their 24-page audit plan. “There is no legitimate rationale for giving or implying endorsement of homosexual, bisexual or gender-variant behaviors among children of any age.”
“It is not a viewpoint,” they write, “but a high-risk and often lethal behavior.”
According to the document, homosexuality increases the risk of anal cancer, smoking, domestic violence, breast cancer and promiscuity.
Perhaps most striking about the audit plan is a detailed survey which allows parents to rate their children’s school based on how tolerant it is to homosexual themes. The 100-point audit questionnaire singles out topics such as “anti-harassment or anti-bullying” policies, “objectionable books” in libraries, “diversity days” and curricula that include “tolerance programs” or “families headed by homosexuals.” Schools are penalized most for including HIV/safe-sex curricula, “homosexual clubs,” or required teacher sensitivity training.
“It’s a good way to determine quickly if your school has knowingly or unknowingly let homosexual activists and materials in the door under the radar of ‘diversity’ or ‘anti-bullying’ or ‘AIDS education,'” CWA’s Virginia State Director Patricia Phillips said in a release.
Wow. Anti-bullying programs are part of the Homosexual Agenda. My kids have gone through anti-bullying programs at their schools. Am I too late, or have they already begun down the path to the Gay Side?
Seriously, this is incredibly sickening. Teaching tolerance to kids and asking them not to harass or bully their classmates are measures of simple human decency. Educating kids about the dangers of AIDS and how to avoid contracting the disease is a public health issue, and also good common sense. Asking teachers be sensitive to the different cultures and religions and values of the children they teach is something I want them to learn and practice, especially since my kids are biracial.
Yet now we are being told by these Christian Jihadist women that such principles are all part of some grand Homosexual agenda permeating our schools and infecting the minds of our kids? I guess they believe even the mere mention of tolerance or diversity saps their children’s precious bodily fluids and leaves them open to contracting the Gay Virus. It would be laughable if they weren’t so deadly serious.
These people would like to see us return to a time where killing a gay person in cold blood only gets you a suspended sentence for negligent homicide. Where even the names for venereal diseases are dirty words not spoken in polite company. Where the only compassion you show is for your fellow, right thinking Church going friends, and everyone who thinks otherwise than they do is suspected of either being a sexual deviant or a Satan worshipper.
Free speech? The right to live our own lives as we see fit? The right to teach our children the values we consider important? All thrown out with the whatever is left of the Constitution at this point. The only values they want taught are their own cruel perversion of the Gospels as seen through the obscured lens of The Book of Revelation, their own interpretations of the prophets Daniel, Isaiah and Jeremiah, and the more harsh tribal laws of the Israelites set forth in the Leviticus and Deuteronomy. Human rights, the Golden Rule? Mere liberal claptrap in their eyes.
What can you do? Denounce these surveys to your local School Board and let them know you support AIDs education, diversity training and tolerance programs. Tell your local PTA that you don’t want a bunch of religious extremists deciding what your kids can or cannot read, or if an anti-bullying program is taught in your schools. In short, let them know that there are other concerned parents who think this entire “homosexual agenda” scare routine is nothing more than a trumped up excuse to put God (and only one version of God, at that) back in the classroom.
Most of all stand up for your values. Don’t surrender the field to the Chritian Jihadists.
