Minors in Nation's Schools Forced To Support Sexual Gestapo

Information is not knowledge. --Albert Einstein

What a bull***t resolution HCON 123 is! Here're a bunch of Congressmen/women trying to appease a big block of sex radicals using our children--students--as their pawns. Since when do responsible adults pass useless resolves involving our children in support of various non-mainstream (and I'm being kind here) sexual practices?(Transgender? Yep, lots of exposure to them in our nations's elementary schools.)

Leave the kids out of your PC/DC negotiating please, you guys! You aren't asking for any legal remedy. You are merely less than forthright about your lobbying to support a position on a topic that deserves a much higher level of individual delicacy and privacy. And which needn't involve children.

We already have laws protecting everyone from harassment and descrimination. Simply enforce them to protect us all--equally--from those who would do us harm.

A kids' new "day of silence" in school is a PC political tool and an obvious attempt at influencing values and beliefs of those who are legally too young to have formed their opinion or to give sexual "consent." It's completely inappropriate, insensitive to the kids' own formulation of values and beliefs, not to mention that the whole thing is an agenda-driven manipulation of minors in their formative years.

Can these idiots we elected (Mr. ENGEL (for himself, Mr. OWENS, Ms. BALDWIN, Mr. WEXLER, Mr. MEEHAN, Mr. FARR, Ms. WOOLSEY, Ms. NORTON, Mr. DELAHUNT, and Ms. SCHAKOWSKY) ) actually believe that "using" our kids on this kind of topic is a great idea?

No, I think not. The groups they are bargaining with have an agenda and this is one tactic that they slipped past us under the guise of "kindness" and "sensitivity" that is meant to affect the next generation's acceptance of these non-mainstream practices. Don't you wonder what they expect from the gay gestapo in return?

By their own admission, less than 20 per cent of a very small segment of the general population (2-4%?) could even possibly be part of the group. Yet, they want us to believe that there is such nation-wide rampant harassment of these folks within our elementary and secondary school walls that all school children need an attitude adjustment about it--even kindergarteners?

Make no mistake. This is an attack on the nation's children by a radical sex gestapo! We (and those sponsoring this and any similar resolution) should ask:

What restrictions are to be placed on the content and type of any sensitvity programming that will be imposed on the little ones? Who's watching these programs and those putting them together? Does anyone even know what's happening in the schools on April 13 each year? (You KNOW this is going to come up again and again until they can get it into the national curriculum!)
Who decided that programs and activities supporting deviant sexual practices are more appropriate in elementary school than, say, Christmas ones? Tax dollars are being spent in both cases.

Well, I say, "NO!" to this waste of time and energies. Teachers should understand that the other 98% of the general population wants them to get back to teaching academic subjects to their students and leave all value training to those at home. You know, the people legally responsible for their minor children's behavior.

All I know is, that if I'm legally and morally responsible for my children's actions, I want to be the one to set the standards and moral compass for them to follow. I surely don't want a teacher messing around in my children's value system, undoing my efforts, and possibly confusing them.

Actually, a teacher has no legal "interest" in doing so anyway. And unless he or she wants to plant a random value of his or her own, there really is no reason for a teacher to desire personal involvement with a student at that level. Teachers have enough to do in the course of a day. This brings me to mention briefly another of my favorite topics: boundaries. They are a good thing, and not touted nearly often enough, so if you don't have any, you should do yourself a favor: develop as quickly as possible some personal boundaries that protect your body and your own self-interest.

What it comes down to, I think, is that the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network, in partnership with the United States Student Association are the groups that need a major attitude adjustment, not the minor children of the USA.

Why not a day of silence to bring attention to the harassment and discrimination of college students who hold conservative views? I hear they can't get a break from their professors and/or fellow college student body to a greater degree than any radical sexual group in any US elementary or high school.

Well, here's the full Resolution text (click here).

Here is where you go to find out who your representatives are. Let them know how you feel about this kind of bogus, unimportant resolution that authorizes expenditures of our hard earned school tax dollars across the nation on ceremonies, programs, activities, etc. meant to manipulate the minds of our children.
