exactly... if this was part of the gay curiculum being taught at schools.. all the people who are pissed off would absolutely LOVE IT.. even though it's inaccurate, false, slanderous, and ignorant or what really is a threat out there, and where it's really coming from..

This program, seems to be about tolerance, and I fully support the program, it is one time per year concerning the issue.. it is meant to promote acceptance and tolerance.. you may not have to accept homosexuals or tolerate them in your day to day life.. but if you're children are in a public school that is open and welcoming of all.. they WILL be tolerant and respectful of other students who are gay.. or come from gay families.. if that is asking too much of you and your family.. you certainly are welcome to your beliefs and your rights... nothing is forcing your child to be in a public school...but when they are.. this is the criteria.. and the order of the day...
tolerance...everyone is tolerating you and your children.. you owe the same respect to others who are different.. if you can't do that... off to Holy Rosary Academy with u...

Where were you then?

Every child who has a question deserves an age-appropriate answer regardless of the subject. Kids are not stupid. If you lie or try to avoid a subject, they can smell the BS from a hundred miles.
Didn't Dr. Sues write that book? Sure, that's right. The the evil Republicans forced kindergarten teachers to read it to their young students.

"Who is under the president's desk?
Does he like her breasts?
Does he make a mess?
Does she have a new stain on her favorite blue dress?

What's with all this ruckus?
What's with all this rancor?
Doesn't the president know with witnesses he must not tamper?

Dec. 8: Betty Currie, Clinton's personal secretary, asks presidential pal Vernon Jordan to help Lewinsky find a job in New York.

Dec. 11: Lewinsky meets with Jordan and he refers her to several job leads.

Dec. 17: Lewinsky is subpoenaed by lawyers for Paula Jones, who is suing the president on sexual harassment charges.

Dec. 28: Lewinsky makes her final visit to the White House, according to White House logs, and was signed in by Currie. Lewinsky reportedly met privately with Clinton and he allegedly encouraged her to be "evasive" in her answers in the Jones' lawsuit.
January 1998

Jan. 7, 1998: Lewinsky files an affidavit in the Jones case in which she denies ever having a sexual relationship with President Clinton.

Witch hunt?

The Clinton Crime Family

Clinton Death List

The Clinton crime family would make Carlos Marcello blush.

Susan Mac Dougall was the smart one. She refused to testify and lived.

First of all, this article came from FOX NEWS so you might as well be reading a trashy gossip magazine.

Secondly, the article clearly states that "The kindergartners will focus on the harms of teasing, while the fifth graders will study sexual orientation stereotypes.

So let's not try to portray this as if two gay men will be having sex in front of your 5-year-old and asking them to join in for God's sake.

Some people get hysterical over the very idea that their child may not grow up as ignorant as them.

I find it sad and think that parents who try to teach their children to HATE other people should be charged with child abuse
(How's THAT for Liberal snark?)

I would support such a lecture only if it included the information that the practice of religion is a freedom guaranteed us by the Constitution and that all religions are to be respected as are those who practice them.

"Separation of Church and State" means simply that the state will not promote any particular religion, and that everyone is free to believe as they choose or free not to believe if they so choose.

A lecture presented by the State promoting Christianity alone would therefore be in direct opposition to the Constitution, and I would oppose it.

You really ought to read the book before you make a wild comment.

Parents cannot opt out of the force feeding of Gay perversion.
Even going so far to insinuate that Same sex Gays can have children like normal straight couples.

Gay Curriculum Proposal Riles Elementary School Parents - Local News | News Articles | National News | US News - FOXNews.com
All that is taught at this age is that homosexuality exists which it does and that we might should be tolerant of it. If by indoctination you mean that anyone can be 'talked into' being gay or persuaded into being gay, that is ridiculous. One cannot be persuaded to be sexually attracted to someone who they are not sexually attracted to.

You may be confusing this with someone who is gay but has not come to terms with it. You are confusing this with gays who were in hiding and come out of the closet because they begin to feel that maybe its ok to be gay. This is a good thing.

I can't help but think that since YOU feel its possible to talk someone into being gay that you yourself may be gay. If that's the case you could, indeed, be talked into coming to terms with your feelings and being more open about it even to yourself. If you truly did not have any gay feelings you would realize how ridiculous it is to assume that someone could be 'indoctrinated' into the lifestyle.
