We were assured it wouldn't change anything in the schools.

But that has been so untrue. My children started getting bombarded with age-inappropriate indoctrination at school. I started doing some research and was dumbfounded at what was going on, including propaganda for ssm, hypersexualization of kids, and an incredible agenda to brainwash kids' minds and actually change their values. The goal was not to help them tolerate and treat with respect those who are different from them; but to embrace that difference as totally "normal" and to sway them from any religious upbringing that may inhibit this conversion of thought. I think this is very inappropriate and may be dangerous to the psychological health of our children and society as a whole.

We will be labeled homophobic haters but it is important to stand our ground. This does not come from hate. It comes from concern. This is a huge experiment that is moving way too quickly to try and change all of society; not just get one small group treated more compassionately. We are being bamboozled with guilt, lies and bullying and our children will be paying the price.
I've got the perfect place for you to dump that load of manure, in my compost bin.

What price will your children be paying? Is growing up to be compassionate, tolerant and understanding a bad thing? Maybe you should go call Social Services because that's how I raised my kids.

To change your mind about gay marriage based on what the public school system has done is irrational. Public schools are almost always run by the most far left lunatics out there.

It was cute for a decade or two. It's not cute anymore.

What value does a gay marriage have? what is the value of being a homosexual?

and why would children need to even know about something which we know,

has no value?

Good point!

Personally, when it comes to hypersexualizing our children, the school system pales in comparison to TV.

Have you ever watched "Toddlers in Tiaras"?

The schools are just making an effort, misguided at times, to end bullying and promote understanding.

The fact is heterosexuals have already made a mockery of the biblical concept of marriage as a lifelong commitment.

If the customary family unit as a lifelong commitment can be made a mockery,

then how could it be denied absolutely most preferable ?

To begin with, adults don't give children enough credit. The little darlings are pretty smart and very observant. They often have a far greater understanding of situations than the adults around them. We could learn a lot from our kids.

Second, what value do YOU have? Are you any more valuable than the gay person down the street? If so, what superior qualities do you possess that make you better than anyone else?

Teaching or describing to children how to go on a disability or welfare, shows them how not , to contribute a value to society.

Teaching or describing homosexuality to children, shows them how not, to contribute a value to society.

Again, what is the outcome of value in being homosexual to society?
