1  Fellowship / Parenting / sexualizing children in public schools on: June 03, 2004, 01:43:21 AM
To:  Concerned parents and citizens:From:  Doctor of Early & Middle Childhood Education
  Here are some excerpts from an article that I hope you will distribute far and wide.  It's not a "Homosexual Bashing" article; it's about inappropriately imposing sexuality agendas on children in our public schools.  You know, the same schools that our children cannot pray in!  
 
As a Doctor of Education and practicing Licensed Psychotherapist who has been involved in schools and children's institutions for over 30 years, I can tell you that this trend is real and substantial.  And it is damaging to our children.  
 
We have no business influencing the sexuality of children of these ages AT ALL.  Let alone actively introducing them to acceptance of homosexual behavior and lifestyles.  Influence in these areas of life is the business of parents and families, not schools.  There is NO academic skill value in such activities.  Yet these indoctrinations are paid for by our tax dollars.  These are politically motivated social engineering agendas, pure and simple.
 
I wish I could give you my name and verify my credentials for you.  But in the field of Education and Social Services today, that would be suicide.  But believe me, there are many teachers, administrators and therapists who believe exactly as I do.  If you doubt that, you should aks some for their opinions, privately.  Unfortunately, it is political suicide for professionals in our field to voice these views publicly.

Right-thinking, God-fearing Americans should be outraged…enough to call their U.S. Representative and U.S. Senators.
Committed Christians need to exercise vigilance over the curriculum and textbooks used in the public schools. The homosexual rights lobby is using the schools to condition children to accept the Gay Way as a lifestyle - rather than God's Way. So many wrongs are becoming right due to the influence of this lobby that soon there will be no real moral wrongs left in the mind of too many young Americans.
Christians everywhere throughout our country need to get outraged, stand up, and speak out to demand this wrong be stopped!
A little-known but increasingly powerful group called the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) is exercising influence over the curriculum and literature used in public schools. This organization has developed strong alliances with educators, particularly the National Education Association. What kind of literature will your child be reading if GLSEN and its ally, the NEA, have their way?
GLSEN believes that it is beneficial to have children exposed to sexualization at an early age as they learn to accept homosexual relationships as normal.
One book aimed at influencing educators is called Queering Elementary Education: Advancing the Dialogue about Sexualities and Schooling . . .
In one chapter, a woman describes how she and her male lover have raised their daughter "queerly" by taking her to "gay pride" parades and teaching her the intricacies of gotcha21 while she is still a young child.
Then, there is the film, intended for adults, called It's Elementary: Talking About Gay Issues In School, that is described in a paper by the Family Research Council's Peter Sprigg. This film shows a so-called "Gay Pride Assembly" being held in school in which a homosexual activist-teacher discusses his sexual predilections, manipulating the sympathies of the children.
True-believing Christians do not sanction provocative violence against homosexuals or anyone else and they make sure their children understand that too.
Indeed, GLSEN's own profile on its web page makes clear that one of its strategic objectives is to enlist teachers and school administrators as "partners" of the pro-homosexual lifestyle lobby. What can we expect?
The NEA is not the only national organization that sanctions the homosexual lifestyle. Either officially or by their actions the American Federation of Teachers, the American School Health Association, the National Association of School Psychologists, the American Association of School Administrators, and the National School Board Association have been helping to steamroller acceptance of the homosexual lifestyle in public schools.
Christians have to make clear to our local school boards and state legislators and to Congress that we will not permit our children to fall for the kid-glove cloaked, iron-fisted bullying tactics of GLSEN and its accomplices within the educational establishment.
If that's not enough to make you want to pick up the phone to make a few calls to Capitol Hill, then I'd like to know, just what will it take?

Call or write these organizations if you oppose the sexualizing our children in the public schools.

Recommendations for communication:


1.  Take a respectful tone.
2.  Keep your concern narrowly focused (just on this issue).
3. Read their web site and comment honestly, but positively on it's content.
4. Don't broadly criticize the organization you contact.  Honestly complement their other positions and achievements whenever possible.
5.  Look at the website under "contact us" and find specific individuals to contact.
6.  Address them "personally" as though you are talking to them; not preaching to them.

Educators are not the enemy, they are advocates for our children.  But they need to hear from us about the policies and agenda's we disagree with.
They are paid from our tax dollars, therefore they work for us;  just like legislators.
