Transgender indoctrination of our children is the Left's next Gay marriage agenda.
It is happening just like I said it would a year ago. Transgender awareness is the next big political correct indoctrination by the left pushed on our innocent chidren in schools. They are a captured audience in schools and the Leftist federal education board has just threatened to strip a particular school of their six million in federal funds if they do not allow a biological boy with a boy's body (but he says he is a girl) to get dressed in a girls locker room. Their superintendent tried to compromise with curtains that the boy could get dressed behind. But of course these arroant control fanatics on the left want to force all our schools to bow to their fixation with dysfunctional weird sexual orientations and refused that compromise.
Can you imagine how twisted this sick nation is becoming? They fear a simple prayer of love and safety to our children, but want to force our innocent children to be indoctrinated with weird sexual orientations. The Left has become godless control freaks forcing their sick twisted political correct agendas on our children.
Unless the fools who elect these fanatics wake up, our nation is truly dead.
There is a difference between indoctrination and education. Why don't you want people to know what homosexuality and transsexuality is? I mean, homosexuality is mentioned in the Bible. What's wrong with defining it, and explaining what we as a society know about it?
Why don't you want kids to see and know about religious expressions of other people if you are so concerned with their enlightenment? Why not have Christian awareness days? Nah, it's not educating kids to all groups of people, it is only weird sexual orientations that you want kids made aware of. Your fixation with abnormal sexual orientation is dysfunctional.
Our kids are having a hard enough time learning math, english, history, etc. and you want the schools spending time explaining about abnormal sex? What on earth is wrong with you?
Who gets to decide whose lifestyles get explained to kids. The Left has no right to dictate their political correct lifestyles being explained to our kids.
It's truly sickening knowing how controversial transgender and other abnormal sexual orientations are to parents that you would force schools to define and explain that to our children. The utter arrognce is mind boggling. Parents will explain controversial subjects to their children, NOT BIG GOVERNMENT.
A thirty second prayer is not taking up our children's educational time defining religion. It's simply a prayer of safety for our children if the community wants it. It's simply an expression of our Christian heritage that should not be the least bit controversial. But the Left fears such a simple symbolic gesture of our history and heritage, so deeply inbedded in our nation's culture.
It's sickening we have people in this nation who have a problem with this but if you do, take your child to a school district that does not say a prayer. We should have school choice.
The same with transgender indoctrination. If the people in some school districts actually want to indoctrinate kids with weird sexual dysfunction, parents should be able to take their kids to schools that do not indoctrinate their kids. But when it comes to political correctness, ALL SCHOOLS are forced to speak of these abnormal sexual orientations. There is no public school district to choose from that does not indoctrinate. That's the arrogance of the Left forcing only their agendas on our children.
Why don't you want kids to see and know about religious expressions of other people if you are so concerned with their enlightenment?
I want them know about it. I think I was clear about that. Of course children should be aware of Christianity, just as they should be aware of variants on sexual orientation.
Your fixation with abnormal sexual orientation is dysfunctional.
You're the one who keeps bringing it up. I think at schools, we should educate our children on everything we can, not to censor topics.
You know that teaching children what homosexuality isn't won't increase the numbers of homosexuals, right?
Who gets to decide whose lifestyles get explained to kids.
Not you, for sure. Not the church. Ideally, we teach as much as we can so that our children can learn as much as possible.
It's truly sickening knowing how controversial transgender and other abnormal sexual orientations are to parents that you would force schools to define and explain that to our children.
So children shouldn't even learn about controversial topics? The point isn't to teach that these topics are right or wrong, only that they exist.
TOTAl ARROGANCE! How dare you try to force controversial subjects on other parent's children. That is why Conservatives so fear the Left and their forcing their political correct awareness on people who DO NOT WANT THEIR KIDS HEARNG ABOUT IT! We will teach our kids what we want them to know about sexual orientations at their young ages.
It's truly sickening or sickening arrogance for you not to get that.
If a simple prayer offends you, send your kids to schools that choose not to have prayers. I would send mine to schools that should have the free choice not to indoctrinate kids with what they want them to be aware of.
Ask yourself why you are so afraid of freedom to choose.
You just said there is no legitimate controversy over the existence of Homosexuality. Gee, thanks for that bit of worthless informtion. Yes, we all know that there is homosexuality in the world. That has nothing to do with my entire post.
Try talking about the argument at hand, and the controversy of abnormal sexual orientation awareness being forced in schools, about our girls locker rooms being changed to include boys, etc.
Do you actually have the arrogance to tell other parents what is legitimate controversy, and what is not? Are you the all knowing God who will tell others how they should think about these issues? It's our child, stay out of their minds with YOUR understanding of sexual orientations.
There are HUGE amounts of controversy over our children being made aware of different sexual orientations. Many parents do not want strangers teaching our kids about the existence of Transgender people, or homosexuals, etc. When it comes to these types of things, WE WILL TEACH OUR KIDS BECAUSE WE KNOW OUR CHILDREN BETTER THAN ANY OTHER, AND WILL TEACH THEM WHAT WE WANT THEM TO KNOW ABOUT SUCH CONTROVERSIAL SUBJECTS. THEY ARE OUR CHILDREN!
You can't even stand a child hearing a simple prayer in school and you have the nerve to tell us what is controversial or not?
You just said there is no legitimate controversy over the existence of Homosexuality. Gee, thanks for that bit of worthless informtion. Yes, we all know that there is homosexuality in the world. That has nothing to do with my entire post.
Yes, it absolutely does. You are arguing that we should get awareness of homosexuality out of our schools. In other words, you are arguing that children shouldn't learn about something that everyone agrees exists. That is a clear example of censorship.
Why do you keep wasting our time? My entire arguments concerning Gay awareness in schools speaks to the SPECIAL MENTION Gays get when other groups get no special mention or awareness. You know this yet you keep wasting our time talking about why Gays should get their awareness days.
NO ONE GROUP SHOULD GET SPECIAL AWARENESS OVER OTHER'S. If we have a day for awareness of bullying, etc. then the day should include all groups! We could call it Bullying awareness days, that include all kids, not just gays.
The Left wants the political correct groups to get their awareness days and the reason is clear. The Left wants to condition our children to abnormal sexual orientations, and in doing so creating the mindset that these sexual orientations are normal. Parents do not want the Left indoctrinating our children.
NO ONE GROUP SHOULD GET SPECIAL AWARENESS OVER OTHER'S. If we have a day for awareness of bullying, etc. then the day should include all groups! We could call it Bullying awareness days, that include all kids, not just gays.
I actually responded to that point in a different post and got no response from you, but I'll elaborate here.
"Gay awareness" days, I assume you are referring to things like gay pride days or the day of silence, are not organized by schools. They are not organized by the government. So right off the bat, the comparisons to school-run prayer are irrelevant here.
Because days like the day of silence and the like are organized by students and independent organizations, trying to stifle or control these would be infringing on the students freedom of speech. I can understand advocacy for more awareness of bullying, but I think you are disregarding a lot of advocacy that already exists. People all across the country observe suicide prevention days, weeks, months, etc.. The anti-bullying movement has been embraced by a mass of schools across the country. When independent groups choose to have a day to help give recognition to a group, a group that makes up a significant portion of the population and has a significantly increased risk of suicide, I have no problem with that.
And based on all your arguments that you've made in the past about independent organizations and people and why they should not be interfered with, I am a little confused about why you would have a problem with it.
The Left wants to condition our children to abnormal sexual orientations, and in doing so creating the mindset that these sexual orientations are normal.
I would be interested to hear your thoughts on why you find things like homosexuality to be so harmful, or even 'abnormal.' And even if that was the case, I am still struggling to see how awareness of homosexuality is a form of indoctrination.
Funny how you keep bringing up the term "indoctrination" and then refer to god and your religion by saying things like "they fear simple prayer of love...". Religion, along with the consumption of animals, both, are the biggest forms of indoctrination to have ever existed on earth; just throwing that out there. Now, you never exactly stated how the liberals were "pushing their gay marriage agenda". Punishing a school for not allowing a kid to express his freedom of belief and sexuality as long as no one is being hurt, seems perfectly reasonable to me, and I fail to see where they are pushing anything on to anyone. It seems to me like they are actually doing the opposite of "pushing" by respecting his choice of sexuality and by not trying to reform him into a normal, god-loving, heterosexual boy like I'm sure you would like to see happen. Seems like you're just bitter from the entire country moving away from religion and going against what YOU believe is right based on the indoctrination you've experienced and your inability to critically think and analyze the world. Unfortunately for you, the nation will continue to move in this direction, away from religion, so if you don't like it, just keep going to church and reading your bible, ignore everything else. You'll be better off that way.
No one is hurt? Do you actulaly believe the lunacy our of your mouth? You sound like a talking head on MSNBC spewing your anti prayer in school histeria. So tell me about the rights of those other girls in the locker room. How about their freedom to not have dysfunctional boys looking at them naked?
Your twisted logic plays right into this political correct madness where only your favored groups of people get to indoctrinate our children in public schools, and where the rights and freedoms of the other kids and parents to dissagree are dismissed. It's truly sad we have such hypocrites who are so insecure with their beleifs that they must censor our freedoms to choose a symbolic prayer of our Christin heritage, but it is ok to force discussions of abnormal sexual orientations on kids.
You actually call the freedom and choice of a community to choose a simple prayer of safety and love for all people, as something to fear, while it is ok for a biological boy to get dressed in a girls locker room, on his say so, that he is actully a girl?
You are the living embodiment of how a Liberal media can indoctrinate a people to believe up is down.
Keep tellng yourself how the freedom of a community to choose a prayer in school is bad while our most innocent children getting indoctrinated to abnormal sexual orientation is a good thing. TWISTED! Do you even care about the right's of parents who want no boys in their daughter's dressing room?
Yes, on the condition that no one is being hurt, the kid should be allowed to express his freedom of belief and sexuality. Don't be foolish, I'm sure the majority of the girls and parents have to come to a consensus on what conditions should be appropriate for this young man to dress in a girls locker room before it actually happens.
I think it's hilarious how people like you are so terrified of gays and freedom for/from religion. Let me ask you something, would you be one to advocate a community choosing to send a prayer to Satan every morning, asking for safety and love for all people? It's a whole different story when it involves worshipping a god other than your own isn't it. All you and other Christians want is for the world to believe in a set of beliefs given by a fictional character who humans themselves have created. Like I said in my previous post, as time goes on, this country will only continue to grow out of religion and enter reality. Hopefully you will too, if not, good luck with everything your magical book tells you to do.
If this nation continues on this bigoted closed minded intolernant path, that censors any mention of our Christian heritage in public, then I feel sorry for every child raised in the broken homes brought on by this amoral anything goes culture.
When the moral foundations of this nation(that made us great) are censored from bigots who fear even the mention of a simple prayer (with no child forced to pray), the results are plain to see. Over 70% of Black children are being raised in broken homes with no fathers or mothers at home, and over 50% of white kids living in broken homes. You have the mindset to believe we are moving in the right path? WOW!
Those Bible believing people going to Church? The one's you ridicule are the vast majority of people in this nation and the reason for this beng the greatest most free nation in the world.
Peole like you who fear our Christian heritage are truly transforming this nation into a bankrupted collective of political correct bigots, where Government is the mother's and father's of all the children from broken homes living on welfare. What's so sick is you can't even see it happening. You actully think one night hook ups and people living together with no committment is a good thing for our children. WAKE UP!
Looks like you just pulled those statistics out of your ass. If your going to make such an exact claim like that you should be prepared to cite whatever study you received your information from.
How does that fact that the majority of people in the nation being religious contribute to your claim that we are the greatest and most free nation in the world exactly? To me, the fact that the majority of our country follows religion only supports the fact that the US is ranked fourteen out of the forty countries ranked in education systems and second in ignorance.
