Hal Lindsey Comments on Gay Indoctrination Seminar

Teaching Our Kids To Lie

I read a very disturbing report this week in WorldNetDaily regarding an Illinois high school district's decision to subject their 14-year-old freshman classes to a "gay indoctrination seminar."

According to the report, the school's officials required the 14-year-olds to attend a "Gay Straight Alliance Network" panel discussion led by "gay" and "lesbian" upperclassmen during a "freshman advisory" class which "secretively featured inappropriate discussions of a sexual nature in promotion of high-risk homosexual behaviors."

I'm not kidding. I wish I were. But that isn't the half of it.

The school district, knowing full well that disclosure of the program to the student's parents would cause a problem, ordered the children to sign a "confidentiality agreement" that bound them not to tell their parents!

According to the school district's superintendent, the situation was a "mistake." But George Fornero didn't believe that subjecting 14-year-olds to homosexual indoctrination was a "mistake."

Instead, as I understand the story, the "mistake" was in trying to conceal the program from parents. Evidently, the school district couldn't care less if the parents found out. After all, there is nothing they can do about it, as the parents discovered from a similar case in Massachusetts.

In that case, the presiding judge ruled that the "the rights of religious freedom and parental control over the upbringing of children … would undermine teaching and learning. …"

Can you believe it? If I am following this line of reasoning correctly, parents interfere with teaching and learning.

My parents taught me to how to talk. They taught me not to lie. They taught me not to steal. They taught me to treat other people with the same respect I would want them to extend to me. And they taught me about "the birds and the bees."

Thus has it been in the human experience for as long as there have been humans. And, despite the prevailing attitude among educators, children are human beings, unique and original individuals. Who would be in the best position to know each individual human child and what is best for that unique individual? A school district? Or a child's parents?

If you answered "a child's parents," then you failed the pop quiz. The correct answer, according to the government, is the school district.

US District Judge Mark Wolf ruled, "Under the Constitution, public schools are entitled to teach anything that is reasonably related to the goals of preparing students to become engaged and productive citizens in our democracy."

That part of the Constitution must have been added since I last read it. The Constitution enshrines individual rights and liberties. The government doesn't have any rights – it has privileges afforded them by the governed.

Further, noted Judge Wolf, "Diversity is a hallmark of our nation. It is increasingly evident that our diversity includes differences in sexual orientation."

So, some people are sexually oriented toward members of the same sex. It just so happens that other people are sexually oriented toward children. Is pedophilia the next "hallmark of diversity" that it will become necessary for the government to protect?

Wolf also ruled that, since history "includes instances of … official discrimination against gays and lesbians … it is reasonable for public educators to teach elementary school students … different sexual orientations."

That is the same circular argument. U.S. history includes official discrimination against pedophiles, as well. But, you say, pedophilia is illegal! So was homosexual conduct – prior to this generation. Does that mean that pedophilia is just a generation away from legitimacy?

For the answer to that question, let's return to the Illinois case. The Deerfield school district's confidentiality agreement would require 14-year-old students to lie to their parents. That is what they were taught by their schoolteachers – "Lie to your parents."

What were they to lie about? About sex!

Not only is that exactly what the average pedophile tells his victim, i.e., "This will be our little secret," it is also clear and undeniable evidence the school district knew that what it was doing was wrong and objectionable to the parents. But, of course, "right and wrong" are among those things that parents are unfit to teach their children, according to the school board and amoral judges.

They believe students are better off learning such principles, like how and when to lie, from the government.

Aaaargh! This just maddens me. I am *so* glad that we homeschool. But for how long? The gov is slowly gripping our parental rights about the neck and soon we won't be able to resusitate them. May I send this to others in my schooling community. Let me know by PM :)
I've added you to my friends list, you have very insiteful posts.
