IF YOU are in any doubt, if you think you can raise your children as if you are living in normal times, then read this from today’s New York Times:

The school district in Helena, Mont., revised its new teaching guidelines on sex education and tolerance, after parents criticized them as being too explicit and an endorsement of homosexuality.

Among the original goals:

Grade 1: “Understand human beings can love people of the same gender and people of another gender.”
Grade 5: “Understand that sexual intercourse includes but is not limited to vaginal, oral or anal penetration.”

The final version eliminated those goals and added a vaguer one:
Grades K to 5: “Recognize that family structures differ.”

The final version also added language emphasizing that same-sex marriage is illegal:
Grade 6: “In Montana, marriage is between a man and woman. Other states allow marriage between adults of the same gender.”

A goal in the original and final plans:
Grade 6: “Recognize that acceptance of gender role stereotypes can limit a person’s life.”

Note the utterly confused quote at the end of the story:

“This is not about advocating a lifestyle, but making sure our children understand it and, I hope, accept it,” he said.

How could they possibly teach a child to accept a lifestyle without advocating it? If you teach children a certain behavior is acceptable, then by definition you are advocating it. There is no “neutral” way to say that homosexuality and gay marriage are normal and acceptable.

He is lying, or extremely stupid. No one, let alone a child, can “accept” some form of behavior unless he thinks it is good or necessary. The school district is teaching all children to accept homosexuality and therefore it is teaching some children to be homosexual. The irony is that this will not lead to a decrease in “bullying.” It will likely lead to more friction. More troubled children will identify themselves as homosexual and other children who are drawn to the forbidden, in the face of anti-bullying indoctrination, will bully these children even more than they might otherwise.

Modern schools can only try to control any form of bullying by coercive and tyrannical methods. They cannot really teach children goodness and virtue, guided as they are by the belief that the group is holier than the individual. No schools can eradicate misbehavior, but modern schools have disarmed themselves against the cruelty of children. Children see through these coercive measures. This campaign to make children accept homosexuality will lead to unprecedented strife in schools. Perhaps this will make more parents see that our public education system is rotten at its core.

This sort of sick abuse of children has been going on for a very long time. Now, it’s written into the curriculum for all the world to see. Schools could be shut down all over the United States if parents made the hard choice to pull their kids out of school and find alternative methods of education. This choice may mean forgoing a second income or going without many things but it is worth it. I’ve known single moms who have managed to home educate their children. It was difficult but they were committed. We give our nod of approval to the educational system when we keep our children there.

By the way, we have lived in five different states and in every one of them we’ve heard parents tell us that,”Some schools are bad…but we’re lucky here-our public schools are some of the best.” I say, get your head out of the sand and do your research. The school systems in America are indoctrination centers. Take your precious children out!

I write as the grandaughter of a public school superintendent who had a school named after him and who would be rolling over in his grave if he knew about the horrid realities of today’s schools.

Which would make the thought police feel that much more needed.
