What do you think of this? Homosexodus! Students flee forced 'gay' agenda?

Question

http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=59033
Parents in California have started reacting to the state's newly mandated homosexual indoctrination program by pulling their children out of classes, and state Superintendent of Public Instruction Jack O'Connell is warning districts they'll lose money if that happens.

A spokeswoman for a ministry called Considering Homeschooling said she already has seen an overwhelming increase in requests for information about homeschooli
Would you take your child out of school or keep him or her in?

Answer 1

Great news! The American people are waking up to this danger. Homosexuality is a social MENACE, AND A mental, emotional, sexual & spiritual disease.

The Bible tells us that unrepentant homosexuals will end up in the lake of fire. God can't be wrong about this, can He? WHY DON'T WE TRUST GOD, BELIEVE & OBEY HIS WORD ON THIS?

Answer 2

I wouldn't pull my children out just because they were teaching human diversity. Gay people pay taxes that support those schools so why should they not be represented? That said, the Superintendent's threats are harmless. My parents pulled my sister out of school and so did a lot of parents whenever a principle to the high school they went to was hired that the parents had issues with. The school didn't lose any money when those students were removed (my parents were friends with some of the people that worked at the school and handled the paperwork, etc, of the school and the money for the school didn't decrease at all).

That said, I and many of my friends (homosexual or heterosexual) have often said that we would prefer to home school are children. Sometimes it is for religious reasons, other times it is for other reasons.

If anything I do not understand why schools do not do like they do here: parents must be notified of "controversial topics" being discussed and give their permission for their child to be in the class while those topics are discussed. The topics are generally: evolution, sexuality, and sex education. The letter to the parents must be sent at least one week prior to the discussion and parents have the right to look at the material being presented. If my State can do this I do not see why California cannot. It seems fair since we all, the public, pay taxes that support the schools and it seems important that parents, both those who support discussion of controversial topics and those that oppose them and prefer to bring up the topics on their own with their children, that the parents work together so that neither side's views are belittled and a win-win situation occurs.

Answer 3

I have a hard time believing such a topic would be discussed outside of a sociology class, although that is possible. Homosexuality has nothing to do with literature, math, physics, or biology, and certainly NOTHING to do with the continuation of human life (child conception and development--the basis for sex ed classes).

Would I pull my child out of High School (or even Middle School)? NO. I would not. I would, instead, intently read over all material intended for the children's instruction (the schools here are required to give the parents that option). After becoming more informed of the topics presented, I can always choose to "opt out" my child from that branch of instruction, with no risk of academic penalty.

Such is the law in Michigan. We have a lot of educational choice here! Schools keep us informed to the Nth degree, and we stay involved. It is nice!

Answer 4

First, I consider the source.

Second, I consider the law "The new law demands, "No teacher shall give instruction nor shall any school district sponsor any activity that promotes a discriminatory bias because of a characteristic [including perceived gender.]" What does this mean? This means you can't teach with an anti-gay agenda or discriminate against gay students. How is this possibly a bad thing?

Third, "a Christian parent cannot, in good conscience, send their child to a public school where their child will be taught or coerced into a lifestyle or belief system that is contrary to the faith they hold dear." Do you mean the lifestyle and belief system of tolerance, lack of irrational discrimination, and treating all children as equals? Please, take your children out of the universe while you are at it because we don't need more people indoctrinated to hate others for senseless reasons. Thnx.

These people are pretending like the schools are forced to teach kids to be gay. That conclusion is absolutely ludicrous. I'm ashamed to be in the same species as these idiots.

Answer 5

The so-called "indoctrination" law, according to THAT VERY ARTICLE, says:

"No teacher shall give instruction nor shall any school district sponsor any activity that promotes a discriminatory bias because of a characteristic [including perceived gender.]"

Oh no! Those horrible gays! They're trying to avoid discrimination! HOW DARE THEY?

Honestly, what the heck is going through the heads of opponents of legislation? This law isn't "making people be gay"; it's promoting tolerance. I'm sure that when schools became integrated, plenty of white parents started homeschooling their children; that doesn't make it right to do so.

Obviously, I would keep my child in such a school. I'd go so far as to say that I would not allow my child to be in a public school in which discrimination based on orientation or gender-identity is not illegal.

Answer 6

Seems like an over reaction. From what I read the new mandate only has the schools talking about the different life styles (homosexuality, bisexuality, transgender). It doesn't seem to promote anything. You don't think kids already know about such things? Wouldn't accurate information about these life styles serve a better purpose than hiding yourself from them and pretending they don't exist?

Answer 7

I'm an atheist and supporter of gay rights. However I do not believe that children should be taught at an early age that they need to choose whether to marry a man or a woman when they grow up.

That being said, the article you cite is biased and didn't contain any facts about what what actually going on, just some radical Christian reaction to it.

Answer 8

ANY kind of indoctrination to a CHILD isn't learning. It's brain-washing. Yet more proof of an agenda. I'd move to another state, or put my child in private school, or home school them, if I could.

I'm not Christian, but I don't agree with homosexuality. It is not natural. It's not genetic (I've got plenty of proof of that) so it does not HAVE to be accepted. If it were, then people would have no choice, but the thing itself is a CHOICE as well. People hate other people because of their lifestyles. Get over it instead of trying to get special treatment from everyone.

Answer 9

I am not sure what to think, but this is horrible.(See below) If I had kids they would not have to be subjected to political correctness nonsense. If I had children I would not want them to "learn" about homosexuals. At least not that way!

"The terms 'mom and dad' or 'husband and wife' could promote discrimination against homosexuals if a same-sex couple is not also featured," said Turney.

Answer 10

I think there are some very narrow minds out there and that avoiding the information that homosexuality is a natural for some people only promotes prejudice and discrimination. If I had children I'd keep them in school.
