CA school forces LGBT curriculum on students
Pete Chagnon - OneNewsNow - 6/29/2009 6:00:00 AM

The chief counsel with the Pacific Justice Institute is fighting for the rights of parents to opt out of a controversial curriculum.

 
San Francisco Bay-area Alameda Unified School District has approved a "lesbian, gay, bi-sexual and transgender" (LGBT) curriculum for use with kindergarten through fifth-grade students. The curriculum is intended to deal with issues such as bullying and harassment.
 
Kevin Snider with the Pacific Justice Institute (PJI) says the board passed the curriculum despite the objection of 73 percent of the speakers from the community who attended the board meeting.
 
"The fundamental problem with the curriculum is it gives a monopoly to one segment of the population -- namely gay, lesbian, bi-sexual, transgender persons -- on the issue of harassment," he contends. "And our position is that all students deserve safe schools, and that sexual orientation is only one of six protected classes. The other classes include race, gender, religion, disability, etc.; and so we have opposed this."
 
Alameda Unified School District is not allowing parents to opt their children out of the curriculum. PJI is sending opt-out letters to the district on behalf of parents. If the district rejects those letters, Snider says PJI will take the issue to court

Protecting Washington's traditional marriage supporters
Charlie Butts - OneNewsNow - 6/29/2009 6:40:00 AM

A hotline has been set up to deal with harassment of people signing pro-marriage petitions in the state of Washington.

 
The purpose of the petition drive is to get enough signatures for Referendum 71 to force an election that signers hope will roll back domestic partnership Senate Bill 5688, granting homosexuals the same rights as married couples. Gary McCaleb is with the Alliance Defense Fund.
 
"We've already heard reports that a group is going to basically work to intimidate voters, to keep them from signing that petition -- basically a left-wing group that wants to see same-sex 'marriage' happen," he explains.
 
The group has threatened to publish the names, addresses, and phone numbers of people who sign the petition. That type of information was released in California after Proposition 8 was approved, and some donors to the campaign were harassed. The hotline will also be available for people circulating the petitions.
 
"If they face threats or are intimidated or are blocked in any way from circulating those petitions, they should give us a ring [at 800-655-6592]," McCaleb suggests.
 
The ADF attorney also says a person can file a report on the Alliance Defense Fund website.

Hello Jon-Marc!

In my home town online newspaper in Battle Creek, MI (the Battle Creek Enquirer), there was a poll with the question, "Would you be offended if a copy of the Holy Bible arrived with your newspaper? At the time that I voted, nearly 23% had voted "Yes". I wonder if the newspaper was considering doing that.

That does seem odd...

Hope you having great day, too, islandboy!

There is an old saying, "loose lips sink ships" and "a need to know" both apply in this case. Just because a person is on a congressional committee such as the Homeland Security Committee does not mean they necessarily have a need to know. Especially since many of these people are leaking information out.

I agree completely, a few convictions of treason might tighten up some of those lips.

While I agree, I hate to jump to conclusions that he would want it for those reasons, but do agree that not everybody needs access to that sort've confidential info.
And you guys can GUESS my views on treason...

"There is a rank due to the United States, among nations, which
will be withheld, if not absolutely lost, by the reputation
of weakness.  If we desire to avoid insult, we must be able to
repel it; if we desire to secure peace, one of the most powerful
instruments of our rising prosperity, it must be known that we
are at all times ready for war."

Excellent Words form Our Founding Father, Tom-and still so relevant now...

Well, God Bless, remember to take a deep breath, say a prayer & relax if you can...

He has done a lot switching back and forth on his stance. I know that I wouldn't be able to trust him as a President.

Nor would I...
