And were back. As you can see, I was enjoying a much needed hiatus with some very close friends. We did our best in no uncertain terms to make it clear to our buddy Al that global warming was the last thing he need be concerned about on our little expedition. I guess DUCK means different things to different people.
I found the following little gem while combing the pages of my monthly edition of the National Liberty Journal. Although aware of this issue prior I thought I would share it with you along with a short clip of my own commentary regarding it’s content:
In February, a federal judge dismissed a lawsuit brought by Christian parents who challenged a school policy wherein their children were being taught about homosexuality in their classroom and bringing home gay-themed books from school.
I found the following little gem while combing the pages of my monthly edition of the National Liberty Journal. Although aware of this issue prior I thought I would share it with you along with a short clip of my own commentary regarding it’s content:
In February, a federal judge dismissed a lawsuit brought by Christian parents who challenged a school policy wherein their children were being taught about homosexuality in their classroom and bringing home gay-themed books from school.
U.S. District Judge Mark Wolf, noting that other federal courts have protected schools’ rights to teach topics that counter parental teachings, said in his ruling, “In essence, under the Constitution 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.”
Two couples, David and Tonia Parker and Robert and Robin Wirthlin, brought the suit. The Parkers sued after their five-year-old son brought home from kindergarten a book featuring a homosexual family. The book, Who’s in a Family? was brought home in a “diversity book bag.” The Wirthlins joined the suit after a teacher read a fairy tale about two princes falling in love in their child’s second grade class.
WorldNetDaily.com reported that Judge Wolf “essentially adopted the reasoning in a brief submitted by a number of homosexual-advocacy groups, who said ‘the rights of religious freedom and parental control over the upbringing of children … would undermine teaching and learning ….’”
“The ruling goes to extraordinary lengths to legitimize and reinforce the ‘right’ (and even the duty) of schools to normalize homosexual behavior to even the youngest of children,” said MassResistance.org, a pro-traditional family Massachusetts organization. “In the ruling, Wolf makes the absurd claim that normalizing homosexuality to young children is ‘reasonably related to the goals of preparing students to become engaged and productive citizens in our democracy.’ According to (Judge) Wolf, this means teaching ‘diversity,’ which includes ‘differences in sexual orientation.’”
The families say they will appeal the judge’s ruling.
So, this concerns me on a couple of levels. The first being that I fear we spend far too much time consumed with politics on the federal level, when the real battle is being waged very much locally. The truth is that once social issues such as this reach the federal level, they have already infiltrated and permeated social perception through local grassroots venues, such as the education system. It has to be stopped on the local level. As a traditionalist and a matter of conviction I will always vote social conservatism over fiscal conservatism each and every time.
The second is the unconscionable effort of a judge to “normalize homosexuality” and legislating that by doing so it will aid in preparing them for becoming engaged and productive citizens in our democracy. How can this be?

"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.”
if this statement is true, then why are we not allowed to teach principles from the bible that will increase morall and love and help children to grow up to be more "productive citizens?" hmmm. isn't that interesting. so praying and biblical principles no longer aid in producing more productive, better citizens, teaching them homosexuality does. if you look at statistics, there are high % of spousal abuse, sexual immorality, drug abuse & std's running rampid in the homosexual community and yet, teaching them that life style is "productive". hogwash. any reasonable, sane individual can see that teaching about monogamous marriages, abstinance from drugs, and having some type of spriritual belief produces (on average) a much better, productive individual that adds to the community. it's all ridiculous and upsetting. THIS is why i tell my husband we should just home school or at least put our kids in a christian school. our battle is hard enough without the schools becoming a part of that battle.
Thanks for posting stuff like this, we all need to be aware.
"That is why the world hates you." Jesus told us in John 15:18-21. I heard a commentary on this on one of the Christian radio stations the other day and was reminded of it by reading your post.
Your post is a reminder that we have a serious duty to raise our children intentionally. We must be aware and recognize the world's agenda and form a strong foundation at home.
Our son is approaching his school years and considering a public school, in my opinion, is becoming less and less of a wise option as a parent.
In 1996, the Centers for Disease Control conducted a survey with over 12,000 respondents. This survey uncharacteristicly included questions on sexual behavior with other lifestyle questions and their correlations to disease. Shockingly, the CDC found that homosexuals have a high incidence of posessing and spreading STDs and all sorts of other diseaseses, were much more apt to engage in criminal activities, are less productive at work and much more prone to miss work, more apt to smoke, more apt to abuse drugs, tendancy to violence, and more. The Clinton administration CDC buried this study and it took a few years and lots of donated money to uncover it and publish the results, most natably The Family Research Institute. This study is consistent with every other study on homosexuality which shows up in peer reviewed journals. Several other studies conclude homosexuals disproportionately engage in pedophilia; they make up about 3-4% of the population in the US but commit about 30% of the reported pedophilia cases with boys and girls. Just consider the tragic results when you have homosexuals around children such as gay teachers, gay foster parents, and gay priests and ministers. This is a hypersexualized lifestyle and unquestionably the least productive and most harmful lifestyle to any society.
