Attorney Claims Lesbian Teachers Using Schools to Push Homosexual
Lifestyle
(AgapePress) - A California school district may be taken to court after
a group of high school teachers began blatantly promoting homosexuality
in their classrooms.
Recently a group of lesbian teachers in the Scotts Valley Unified
School District (Santa Cruz County) started hanging pro-homosexual
posters in their classrooms, discussing homosexuality in their
classrooms, and providing referrals to homosexual and bisexual
organizations to students questioning their sexuality. Numerous parents
have complained to school officials, who said they would investigate
matters. However, no administrative correction has been initiated in
response to the complaints.
Brad Dacus, president of the Pacific Justice Institute, says the
teachers are engaged in a campaign of homosexual indoctrination, and
are using anti-harassment laws as a soapbox for state-sponsored
endorsement of their lifestyle. And they seem to be getting the support
to do so, not only from the district, but from the American Civil
Liberties Union (ACLU) and area homosexual organizations as well.
"We know it's a very liberal community," Dacus notes, "a very hostile,
intolerant community for the rights of parents, and intolerant towards
those people of faith who do not openly accept and embrace
homosexuality and other forms of deviant lifestyles." Although he says
PJI is not really expecting the Santa Cruz County school officials to
implement changes, he says his legal group is "hoping they'll take it
under serious consideration."
The PJI attorney feels the school district is being hypocritical since,
even as the teachers are engaging in their pro-homosexual conduct under
the guise of tolerance, posters celebrating traditional families are
not allowed. However, he points out that complaints from outraged
parents have had virtually no effect on the school administrators.
The officials have even ignored requests from district parents that the
pro-homosexual posters be taken out of the classrooms and pinned
instead on public bulletin boards where a student would have the option
of reading or ignoring them, or that they be placed alongside posters
showing competing viewpoints.
A Hostile Environment for Pro-Family Values A number of the dissenting
parents have argued that the students are a captive audience being
forced to confront high-pressure influence from militantly
pro-homosexual teachers who stand in a position of authority over them,
as well as from aggressive homosexual students. According to PJI's
sources, a student who is not interested in joining a "diversity club"
at school is sometimes subjected to obscene gestures and other forms of
harassment from homosexual peers.
According to Dacus, what is happening in some of the district schools
is that pro-homosexual teachers are being allowed to create a hostile
environment for students who hold faith-based or traditional values
that regard homosexuality as immoral. "Pro-homosexual indoctrination,
unfortunately, has become not the exception but almost the rule for
most California schools as well as for other schools in liberal parts
of this country," he says.
But while homosexual groups and the ACLU reportedly claim this type of
tolerance and diversity education is needed for schools to comply with
anti-harassment laws, the head of PJI says this is misleading. He
contends that U.S. lawmakers never meant to enable teachers or school
officials to use the anti-harassment legislation as a tool for
promoting homosexuality through the public education system.
Nevertheless, Dacus asserts, it is happening and cannot be ignored.
"Parents need to wake up," he says, "and they need to realize that
public education can actually be a very harmful, very damaging thing
for their children if they're not careful." However, the attorney
reminds pro-family citizens that anti-harassment laws were not written
exclusively for homosexuals but to apply equally to all Americans,
including those who hold traditional values.
PJI sent an attorney to address the trustees of the Scotts Valley
School Board at a meeting held last Monday, which focused exclusively
on the poster controversy. At the heart of the discussion was a
complaint filed more than two years ago by a district parent regarding
the display of the pro-homosexual posters in district classrooms. The
Santa Cruz Sentinel reports that more than 400 people attended the
February 7 school board meeting, which went on until almost 11 p.m.
The Scotts Valley School Board took no action, but board president Sue
Roth and Superintendent Stephen Fiss planned to meet again to discuss
the issue further. Roth was quoted in the Sentinel as saying she is not
sure anything needs to be done, but she would hope the parent who filed
the initial complaint will not pursue a lawsuit

I think that was taken from: the New Living Translation xian web
site.
Here's what's on their main page now. I got a good chuckle over it &
wonder why some christers don't see how insane this all is...

Foolproof Investment Strategy
by Jack Klumpenhower
Set aside some money and everyone will tell you how to invest it.
Buy a home? stocks? life insurance? Many of us just hope to avoid doing
something stupid with our money, which makes me think of the prophet
Jeremiah. He once made an investment that ranks among the most
outlandish ever.
Jeremiah's Investment Strategy
Jeremiah is in Jerusalem. The army of Babylon has the city under
siege, and has ravaged the surrounding countryside. Jeremiah himself
says God will let Babylon capture the entire land. Then God tells
Jeremiah to invest in real estate-to buy a field a few miles outside the
city. So Jeremiah hands over his silver to acquire a field under enemy
control that he can't even go see, and explains his foolishness:
"This is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says:
'Someday people will again own property here in this land and will buy
and sell houses and vineyards and fields'" (Jeremiah 32:15, NLT).
Jeremiah's strategy is to invest in God's brazen promise that one
day the land will be free again. He is trusting God to be faithful.
That's
the only way his investment makes sense.
Our Investment Strategy
Jesus had the same idea when he said, "Store your treasures in
heaven" (Matthew 6:20, NLT). We followers of Jesus invest our money,
time, and energy in things that matter to God rather than in our
immediate comfort. This makes no sense to other people. And it makes
sense to us only because we know God is faithful. He will make our
investment in him last eternally, long after worldly comforts disappear.
God's Investment Strategy
Jeremiah's example is also a picture of God. God is the original
outlandish investor. "For God so loved the world that he gave his only
Son" (John 3:16, NLT). That's a high price for a world under enemy
control.
In becoming one of us, Jesus acquired human bones and blood, human
labor and laughter, human hurt and death. Such an investment makes sense
for Jesus only because he knows God is faithful to keep another brazen
promise-his promise to end the enemy's rule, and to wed Jesus to us
forever in the houses and vineyards and fields of heaven.
How Jesus longs for that day! He has staked everything on that
promise. And so we do too. We ignore the advice of this world and throw
all our fortunes in with his.

Brad Dacus, president of the Pacific Justice Institute
"Pacific Justice Institute is a non-profit 501(c)(3) legal defense
organization specializing in the defense of religious freedom,
parental rights, and other civil liberties." Liberties? Yeah, right.
The "liberty" to harass students who don't go along with their
religion.
says the teachers are engaged in a campaign of homosexual indoctrination
What are they afraid of? That a little knowledge will turn a straight
kid gay? Or, just maybe, that knowing that he or she isn't alone will
keep a gay kid from committing suicide.
"We know it's a very liberal community," Dacus notes, "a very hostile,
intolerant community
Typical Christian self-contradiction. A liberal intolerant community?
Get real!
The PJI attorney feels the school district is being hypocritical since,
even as the teachers are engaging in their pro-homosexual conduct under
the guise of tolerance, posters celebrating traditional families are
not allowed.
Right. Tolerance is allowed. Bigotry isn't. Why would any sane
person have a problem with that?
However, he points out that complaints from outraged
parents have had virtually no effect on the school administrators.
Nor should they. Bigots shouldn't set school policy.
The officials have even ignored requests from district parents that the
pro-homosexual posters be taken out of the classrooms and pinned
instead on public bulletin boards where a student would have the option
of reading or ignoring them
They can't ignore them in the classroom the same way they can ignore
them in the hallways?
or that they be placed alongside posters showing competing viewpoints.
Bigotry has no place in school. Why should it be given *equal*
showing? It should be given *no* showing.
A number of the dissenting
parents have argued that the students are a captive audience being
forced to confront high-pressure influence from militantly
pro-homosexual teachers who stand in a position of authority over them,
as well as from aggressive homosexual students. According to PJI's
sources, a student who is not interested in joining a "diversity club"
at school is sometimes subjected to obscene gestures and other forms of
harassment from homosexual peers.
That should be stopped. It's as bad as the bigoted parents.
According to Dacus, what is happening in some of the district schools
is that pro-homosexual teachers are being allowed to create a hostile
environment for students who hold faith-based or traditional values
that regard homosexuality as immoral.
Bigotry shouldn't be allowed in the schools, even under the guise of
religion.
"Pro-homosexual indoctrination,
unfortunately, has become not the exception but almost the rule for
most California schools as well as for other schools in liberal parts
of this country," he says.
As it should be - under the correct name, lack of bigotry.
But while homosexual groups and the ACLU reportedly claim this type of
tolerance and diversity education is needed for schools to comply with
anti-harassment laws, the head of PJI says this is misleading. He
contends that U.S. lawmakers never meant to enable teachers or school
officials to use the anti-harassment legislation as a tool for
promoting homosexuality through the public education system.
What's with the "promoting homosexuality" *****? It's not as if
the kids start school not knowing whether they're straight or gay, and
what the teacher says is going to decide it.
Gay kids are gay, straight kids are straight, and they're learning
about each other. Anyone who has a problem with that needs an
education. Or involuntary commitment.
Nevertheless, Dacus asserts, it is happening and cannot be ignored.
"Parents need to wake up," he says, "and they need to realize that
public education can actually be a very harmful, very damaging thing
for their children if they're not careful."
Then take them out of the public schools and send them to religious
schools. No one is stopping them.
However, the attorney
reminds pro-family citizens that anti-harassment laws were not written
exclusively for homosexuals but to apply equally to all Americans,
including those who hold traditional values.
Not teaching bigotry is only harassing to bigots. Not preaching is
not anti-Christian. They're going to have to learn and accept that.
ALL of them - all over the country.

One of the problems with bigots is that they perceive tolerance as an
attack on them. It can't be "pro-homosexual" without being
anti-straight. They are identical to (and often identical with)
people who think Black History Month is anti-white.
Sex-ed should be pro-homosexual. It should also be pro-heterosexual,
pro-masturbation, pro-sex and pro-abstinence. In other words,
pro-empowerment. That is what sets the limit - when your action
violates someone else's rights, eg. rape, it is not permitted.
When one of these bigots starts ranting about the 'pro-homosexula
agenda' they should be quizzed relentlessly on what evidence they have
that the offending item is anti-heterosexual. If they can't point to
discrimination against heteros or other protected groups* in the
program, then they have nothing to complain about.
* Heterosexuals are protected from discrimination only in States and
municipalities which have passed laws or ordinances prohibiting
discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, so-called gay
rights bills.

What do you want to have taught next as an acceptable lifestyle? being a
Pedophile should be ok and if you don't accept it your a bigot?
You may enjoy and accept a ***** shoved up your ***** as normal but most
right thinking folks do not. Keep your sick perversion in the closet!

Nothing. Why would you need to Teach anything.

No -- that is a behavior, not a lifestyle.

Most right thinking folks used to think that inter-racial marriage was
Wrong as well, and kept trying to regulate other folks' private lives,
till such laws were struck down.
Nothing says that You or anyone else Must do or not do anything of
your choice in the privacy of your own life. But nothing requires You
or anyone else to interfere in someone else's private life either.
It's simply none of your business.
Which is the best reason of all.
