Here also are excerpts from our own National Institute of Health:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1299061/

" Black is correct in pointing out the important role of major US philanthropies, such as the RF and CIW (also the Harriman family and the Kellogg Race Betterment Foundation), in funding many eugenical activities...

Black is also correct that the American and German eugenicists were in close contact with each other, especially after World War I: they were working together in international organizations, following and even reporting on developments in eugenics in each other's countries. The Germans did, in fact, borrow much of their 1933 Law for the Prevention of Hereditarily Defective Offspring (the so-called 'sterilization law') from the model sterilization law drawn up for the various states by Harry H. Laughlin, Superintendent of the ERO, and a number of American eugenicists were impressed with the Nazi eugenical laws after 1933. But all of this has long been known and written about."
Don't forget Canadian Tommy Douglas, first head of the socialist Canadian Cooperative Federation, now known as the New Democratic Party or NDP.

It certainly is an issue in Ireland where I come from. We have what is called an "integrated curriculum". Which is to say that not only is there a module every week teaching catholic nonsense as true....... but catholic teachings and ideas permeate the rest of the curriculum too. Every aspect of the curriculum that can be tainted with their tripe, is. Right down to spelling classes focusing on the spelling of religiously themed words.

It absolutely permeates every aspect of that curriculum and it absolutely is indoctrination. Change is coming, it is just painfully slow as are all changes.... not just religious ones.... to any educational curriculum.

I have to wonder what this guy does in school.

Baton Rouge officer sues DeRay Mckesson over protest injury - Baltimore Sun

"The suit doesn't accuse Mckesson, Baltimore schools administrator, of throwing anything at officers but claims he "incited the violence" on behalf of Black Lives Matter, which also is named as a defendant.

Mckesson "was in charge of the protests and he was seen and heard giving orders throughout the day and night of the protests," the suit says. "The protest turned into a riot.""

I have to wonder how any of this is related to "indoctrination" in schools.

If I could be little mouse in the fellow MacKesson's office or classroom, I bet indoctrination is exactly what I hear going on. I'd faint dead if it was the 3R's

Cutesy language aside then, you are saying that there is no actual connection to the topic at all. Have I got that about right here, or was there something that I missed?

Yes it is true. I saw recently a class of grade two kids who were being taught all about gay pride...mean while these kids had no understanding of normal sexuality. They did not even know what sex was and this teacher was already leading them down some strange experimental sexual path. I say let nature take its course and leave the kids alone.

Oh before you get to upset...basic reproductive sexuality is the norm...most people are straight breeders.

Assuming that you were neither a student nor the teacher in this class, how did you come to witness it?

Oh joy, an unverifiable anecdote. Because that is always useful.

WHAT exactly was being taught?
WHERE exactly was it being taught?
WHICH context was it being taught in?

You have established this as a fact..... how exactly? My daughter for example is now 6. She has known ESSENTIALLY what sex is since age 4. the basics and idea of it, she understood entirely.

How exactly? How is telling people or kids ABOUT other sexual orientations the same thing as "leading them an experimental sexual path".

In history lessons I was taught about the existence of war when I was about 7. Was I being led down "some strange warmongering path"???

Sex and sexuality IS nature. Kids should be taught about it.
