How many reasons do you need to pull your kids out of public school? Well, here's another great one:
Two parents who objected to a Massachusetts high school's homosexual-awareness day were expelled from the campus after a mother began videotaping a session.
Brian Camenker, an activist who has a son at Newton North High School in Newtonville, Mass., and Kim Cariani, mother of two students, said four police officers and the school principal warned they would be charged with trespassing if they didn't leave the campus Wednesday.
The school did not send home a note to parents about the event, a Newton North spokeswoman acknowleged to CWA's Culture & Family Institute. But she said the event is listed on the school's website and in calendars at the beginning of the year, and some e-mails were sent out.
The principal demanded Cariani turn over the videotape or leave, Camenker told the Herald. District policy prohibits taping or photographing students without parental permission.
"They took the two of us and pulled us out and gave us one minute to leave and if we came back on the property we would be arrested for trespassing," Camenker said.
A local newspaper columnist, Tom Mountain of the Newton Tab, also was barred from the assembly "for the safety and security of the children."
Camenker told CWA he sent a copy of the event schedule to the school superintendent and all eight school board members prior to the event, advising them that parents would be at school that day monitoring activities.
Two questions:
1. If such events are as benign and wholesome as the schools would have us believe, what possible problem could administrators have with a parent videotaping the activities?
2. If policy prohibits taping or photographing students without parental permission, does that mean we'll see well-meaning parents threatened or even carted off to jail, during the next "Saturnalia Festival" (formerly Christmas), or "Gratitude Toward the Enlightened Indigenous Peoples' Day" (formerly Thanksgiving), when camera shutters click and camcorders roll tape? I'm assuming most of these schools do have parties, plays, and other student celebrations, during various holidays.
At a "gay day" two years ago, Camenker said, a 20-year-old male wearing a dress spoke to students, telling them he was taking female hormones but hadn't yet had his penis cut off.
And you thought your kids weren't learning a thing in school.
Massachusetts taxpayers pay about $1.5 million annually for a Gay and Lesbian Youth Commission that aggressively promotes homosexuality in public schools and helps schools create "Gay/Straight Alliances," student clubs that press for acceptance of homosexuality.
The school's website notice about "To BGLAD" includes the long-discredited "fact" that one in 10 students is homosexual, CWA says. Most researchers place the population at only about 1 percent.
Isn't it nice seeing your tax dollars put to good use?
An outline of Wednesday's event on the district's website included these descriptions of these sessions:
"A Day in the Life: Statistically one in ten students at this school are (sic) not straight. Teenage life is complicated enough, but how does it differ for Gay/ Lesbian/ Bisexual/ Transgender (GLBT) teens? Come to this panel and find out."
"Student Speakout: Newton North students read original pieces about GLBT issues."
"Life Outside the Gender Norm: What happens when ones (sic) gender identity does not match their sex? In this session, speakers will talk about their experiences with gender identity and expression."
"Out at the Old Ballgame: Athletes and coaches discuss what it’s like to be GLBT in the gym, on the field, and on the road."
"Family Matters: What does it mean to be a family? What discriminations and legal obstacles do queer families face? Children and parents discuss living with queer family members."
"GBLT What's in a Name: What is homophobia? heterosexism? Why is there a ToBGLADay? In this interactive presentation, we will use activities to provide the groundwork for talking about GBLT issues."
"Color Me Queer: A panel discussion of race, culture, and sexual identity."
I know it's stating the obvious, but there's not a shred of skepticism or objectivity in this representation. Clearly, the goal is equating homosexual, bisexual, trans-gendered, and lesbian lifestyles with normal sexual behaviors and roles. Such propaganda probably would bring a tear of pride to Goebbels' eye.
