In MA: “Reach kids…before it’s too late”

May 21st, 2011

In an op-ed from the Boston Herald, we learn the following:

Pay attention parents! It’s spring. And before you know it, Massachusetts public schools will begin their yearly sex-ed lessons for kids as young as 5.

Of course, they won’t call it “sex ed.” They’ll call it “health.” But a rose by any other name is still a rose….

Indeed, when specifically asked why the school presents lessons on HIV in the third grade, rather than in middle school, one school administrator made this shocking admission:

“The goal is to reach kids before they absorb their parents’ values. By middle school it’s too late.” (emphasis added)

Read the whole thing.

    If a school admin. made that horrific admission to me, I’d be homeschooling in 2 seconds. Make that 1 second.

    Go to Dr Judith Reisman’s internet site and click on the videos link. Watch The Kinsey Syndrome, which you can do online or buy the DVD. It’s long (almost 3 hours) but well worth the effort. Make sure you have a bucket handy, if you are a well-balanced, ethical person you will need it.

    Our children are being sexually groomed with the full consent of the State for sexual predators.

    This same sort of fretting occurs when lessons on evolution come up. Parents can still teach their kids their values, and the schools can teach society’s values and the kids can decide for themselves what makes sense.

    I will never understand why parents get upset about children learning the proper names for anatomy parts. I feel for the mother when child number two especially gets older and remembers that mother isn’t comfortable talking about genitals, and thus doesn’t bring it up with her.

    Sadly. by third grade, a lot of nasty behaviors like racism and homophobia are in fact, already learned. (Lord knows I learned to swear by the age of 3) In fact, the only way “values” are not going to be absorbed by parents is if the parents haven’t already started talking about it. I’d argue alot of our cultural issues with sex is parents don’t talk about it, at all. Whether because they believe their child is too young, that the school will take care of it, or that church will take care of it. In any case, not talking breeds ignorance, and leads to knocked up teens.

    Sending one’s child to that school = child abuse.

    @nerdygirl There is no such thing as “homophobia.” And teaching children that such exists is also bad education. Parents do indeed teach their children properly about sex, and at the appropriate age levels. We don’t need indoctrination in all things sexually immoral in the government institutions. Teens aren’t getting pregnant due to ignorance, they are getting that way due to the schools teaching them “if it feels good, do it, but use a condom.” I know that for a fact because I attended a middle school assembly (6th-8th grades) where homosexuality was taught as right and proper, that sex is fun if you are careful, etc. That was one of the last straws which led me to pull my kids out of the government indoctrination center.

    Introducing a young child to sexual behaviors, such as mast______, likely to spur curiosity and possible experimentation can open a can of worms difficult for a parent and their child to close. Once robbed of innocence, a child cannot go back. Our family has healthy, age-appropriate discussions about sexuality, body parts, and reproduction, but my husband and I choose the context of discussion (which is always that sexual expression is only appropriate within marriage, and never before or outside of a man/woman marital relationship), based on our superior knowledge of our own children’s emotional/physical/mental readiness. No school can do that better than I can, and I refuse to let them usurp my parental authority on the matter.

    BEsides, which, much of the “sense” of society, as to what is right or wrong is heavily influenced by what is popular or trendy, at the moment, a la Hollywood, and heaven knows Hollywood is all about choice but hardly about consequences. Children need their parents to protect them from the predators that abound in popular society, such that they need not suffer from learning the hard way about “progressive” values, which are all about pleasure seeking, but not about responsibility, self-respect, self-discipline, or chastity. IE; popular society is pretty good at teaching lust, but fails miserably when teaching real love, and the happiness and security only to be found in healthy marriages and families, where sexual intimacy is exercised within the context of marriage between a man and a woman.

    @Amy
    “popular society is pretty good at teaching lust, but fails miserably when teaching real love, and the happiness and security only to be found in healthy marriages and families, where sexual intimacy is exercised within the context of marriage between a man and a woman.”

    I’ve found happiness and security in a healthy relationship and family, and my sexual intimacy WILL be exercised within the context of marriage when either my state or the U.S. Supreme Court decides that discrimination in marriage is unconstitutional. I may be a 50 year-old bride before that happens, but I have faith that it will. My daughter’s generation really understands this issue well and she is now voting age. It won’t be too much longer before equal marriage rights are recognized as the law of the land.

  12. May 23rd, 2011 at 15:17 | #12

    @Heidi There already is equal marriage rights – the right of everyone to marry a qualified person of the opposite sex. That is the definition of marriage. You daughter’s generation are being taught a perversion of marriage and they have bought into the lie. The problem with out society now is that our government and educational institutions are run by those of the sex and drug culture of the 1960s where morals are always relative.

    @Amy
    Enh, I mean, I’ve heard stories from elementary teachers about having students who keep touching themselves during class. The students don’t really know what they’re doing other then “it feels good” obviously mom and dad never told them about certain things having a time and a place. You don’t have to get into the kama sutra, but if children don’t know proper terminology and a basic sense, they’re going to pick up on what their less sheltered friends say, and chances are, their less sheltered friends are poorly informed.

    If sex only in marriage is important to you, then talk to your kids. If you maintain a healthy dialouge, no school program is going to downplay the importance of your opinion to your kids. Of course, keep in mind, your children may not, despite your efforts, have the same values as you.

  15. May 24th, 2011 at 06:17 | #15

    @nerdygirl I have talked to and known many, many pregnant teens. This shows you obviously shouldn’t make assumptions about people you don’t know.

  16. May 24th, 2011 at 09:43 | #16

    Good Lord, Amy, can you not even type out the word “masturbate” here on a website for adults?

    This is why it’s important for children to learn “health” in school. Children need to have the right names for things, and understand how and why they work, or don’t work.

    Glenn, “There is no such thing as “homophobia.” When you submit statements such as this, you leave yourself open to a plethora of retorts. Come on Glenn, to make such a simple statement is to fly in the face of anecdotal evidence from coast to coast. In short, your comment would suggest that Hate Crimes Legislation, Gay Straight Alliances in high schools and colleges, Equality organizations, Senate reversal of DOMA, Marriage in NH, Mass. Vermont, Conn., Iowa, and Civil Unions elsewhere are movements in a vacuum. Really Glenn, are you truly that naive? a href=”#comment-21815″>@Glenn E. Chatfield

  18. May 25th, 2011 at 07:02 | #18

    @Rich “Homophobia” means “fear of sameness”. It has nothing to do with homosexuality to begin with. It was a word coined to throw at anyone who says homosexual behavior is wrong. I have yet to meet a single person who is afraid of sameness, let alone afraid of homophiles. The word is used to silence opponents of the homosexual agenda. It is used as a victim card so everyone will feel sorry for the poor homophiles. Hate crimes legislation was instituted for one purpose – to punish anyone who thinks homosexuality is wrong. People who commit crimes against homophiles already received the same punishment as those who commit crimes against anyone else, but that wasn’t good enough. The homosexualists wanted them punished more severely just for their thoughts. That is a travesty. There is no need for such legislation except to give unequal protection to only certain members of society. The other things you mention are all part of the agenda to force the normalization of homosexuality, indoctrinating children and destroying the institution of marriage. Less than 3% of society are homophiles and yet they have more money per capita than any other group, which gives them the power to pay off politicians and corrupt society. People who know their behaviors are abhorrent want to force everyone else to sanction them so they can feel good about themselves. And the Emperor runs around naked while every one pretends he has a wonderful wardrobe.

    To all people on this blog who support the beliefs of the Ruth Insitute. The threat is real. Because of SSM in Massachusetts this was the tool the homosexual activists used to recruit more membors into their lifestyle. If they cannot get you then they will get your child.
    You the parent are away at work. It is in the public schools where the homosexual activists have access to your child and are ripe for the conversion into the lifestyle. The tobacco companies knew if they could not hook you while young then you were not going to be hooked. The homophiles by their actions in the schools prove that they were not born that way. They need more membors and are going to get it in the public schools. I live in MA so I know.
    If you think this threat is not real then take some time to go to the Massresistance website and see the undisputed truth for yourself.

    Just went to the link that bman posted in post#6 along with the above blog. They admit to wanting to recruit more children into their lifestyle. This proves the born that way is a lie. If you were born that way then you do not need to recruit.

    May 29th, 2011 at 06:40 | #21

    Noe, they want to indoctrinate children that being gay is ok. That’s a very appropriate goal. You can’t recruit people into being straight or gay, it just happens.

  22. May 30th, 2011 at 07:53 | #22

    @Sean It is NOT okay to say that homosexuality is okay, any more than it is okay to say fornication, adultery, bestiality, pedophilia or pornography is okay. Children should NEVER be taught that sexual immorality is okay.

  23. John Noe
    May 30th, 2011 at 17:45 | #23

    Sorry for the bad news Sean, but the NOM blog just showed homosexual websites where the homosexual activists are claiming that they are recruiting the kids. They admit that they do want to indoctrinate. So you can recruit people into being homosexual.
    If it just happened then there would be no need to recruit. I was born right handed. As a result there were no left handed people trying to recruit me into being a southpaw. It just happens that way.

  24. May 31st, 2011 at 12:21 | #24

    Exactly, John Noe: there was a time when people thought the left-handed were sinister. People used to try and make left-handed people write with their right hand, which did little good and was often damaging. Fortunately, some open-minded people started “indoctrinating” others with the belief that it’s okay to be left-handed, and “indoctrinated” left-handed kids with the idea that they’re just fine as they are.

    That’s what the author of the link is talking about (though in the most inflammatory language possible). But just as no one is trying to “recruit” kids into being left-handed in this more open-minded approach, no one is trying to “recruit” kids into being gay.

    Kids are either gay or they’re not. It just happens that way.

    Thanks, John, for the excellent analogy.

  25. John Noe
    May 31st, 2011 at 15:33 | #25

    Except you were born left handed or right handed. You were not born homosexual but fully chose to decide to become one. This is why these people wish to indoctrinate our children in the public school system. They want more recruits into their lifestyle.
    Again if one was born that way, there would be no ex homosexuals and no need to indoctrinate the children in the public schools.
    Look at my analogy above. Sure you were born left or right handed, it comes naturally. This is why there are no classes where one group tries to recruit the other.

  26. May 31st, 2011 at 15:43 | #26

    @Rob Tisinai Left-handed people ARE sinister – that’s Latin for left-handed. :o D BUT, left-handedness has no moral value. Sexual behavior DOES. Kids are not homophile until trained/taught to be. They may be confused, etc until someone tells them homosexuality is okay and then they go that way. However stats have shown that most homophiles were in some way abused as children.

    No one chooses his or her sexual orientation. It’s innate, either by birth or nature. No one, not one person, can point to the time when they chose their sexual orientation. If sexual orientation were chosen, why can no one recall the time and place when they chose it?

  28. May 31st, 2011 at 15:55 | #28

    “Kids are not homophile until trained/taught to be.” Nope. Wrong. No one trained me. Nor was I abused as a child.

  29. May 31st, 2011 at 15:59 | #29

    John Noe, I understand that you desperately need to believe gays recruit children. I understand you desperately need to believe I and other gays “chose” to become gay. I understand you’re not willing to see the difference between telling kids it’s okay to be gay (what the links you’re referrring to talk about) and indoctrinating kids into becoming gay (which is impossible).

    I understand all that, and I understand that I will never be able to change your mind. You will continue to believe what you need to believe. I just don’t understand why you need to.

  30. June 1st, 2011 at 07:59 | #30

    @Sean Homosexuality is NOT innate, and no one is born that way. http://www.narth.com/menus/born.html
    The proof is in the pudding.

    There are multitudes of homophiles who point to specific instances which led them to homosexuality. I have a good friend who was a homophile until he turned to Christ to lead him out. He points to abuse as a child as the starting point.

  31. June 1st, 2011 at 08:00 | #31

    @Rob Tisinai No one is born homophile.
    http://www.narth.com/menus/born.html

    You may not remember, but I guarantee you leaned homosexuality from someone along the way. I’m sure you can’t remember everything you learned as a child – it’s rare for anyone to do so.

  32. Sean
    June 1st, 2011 at 15:21 | #32

    Glenn, being gay is perfectly normal, and no one chooses it. There are no “instances” where someone becomes a homosexual (the proper term: “homophile” means, I guess, love of sameness). Christ, if he even exists, can’t do anything, since he’s dead.

    Abuse does not influence sexual orientation. Straight people are not straight because they were abused by someone of the opposite sex. Likewise for gay people. It just happens, and it’s a joyous example of the diversity of the human experience.

  33. John Noe
    June 1st, 2011 at 15:59 | #33

    To Rob and Sean: It is not that I desperately need to believe that your side recruits, it is because your side does. NOM has blogs where your side even admits it. This blog talks about Massachusetts. At the massresistance website this is all documented.
    I also do not desperately need to believe that you chose to be homosexual it is because you did. Your side cannot refute the ex homosexuals who are out there. They exist. Your side has not one speck of indisputable scientific proof. There would have to be molecular and microbiological proof. It does not exist. Your only proof is because you had desires as a child is not suffiecient scientific proof. When I was a child I played with matches until my father applied the rod of discipline. There is no way today I could commit arson and claim it was not my behavior but my orientation.

    But most of all the big reason why your side uses the born that way hoax is because without it your side gets nowhere. I remember first hand having discussions of the homosexual claims to rights in the 80′s. Bsck then your side was at least being honest in using the term sexual preference. Only problem was your side got nowhere. You wanted rights but not the responsiblities and consequences of your lifestyle. So your side became the ultimate con artists. Out came the lie that I was born this way and it is an orientation. In this way it allowed your side to escape all responsibilty for your actions. It was no longer your side being responsible for your behavior but our fault in being bigoted and homophobic.
    Marriage is a perfect example. Instead of your side admitting the truth that you had marriage equallity already but you just rejected it and wanted to redefine it claiming that you do not have the same civil rights to marriage as everyone else.

    June 1st, 2011 at 16:02 | #34

    To Glen and John Howard: I did not realize until now, that because your names are in blue that means that you have your own websites. I checked them out and liked them.

    Glen I like your website and the links that you provide, thank you.

  35. June 1st, 2011 at 17:54 | #35

    @Sean Being homosexual is certainly NOT normal. Biology tells you that. I gave you the evidence that no one is born homosexual.

    Christ is alive, as the Scripture says. You only wish He was unable to do anything.

    Sexual abuse certainly does influence sexual orientation; that has been demonstrated by numerous studies and by numerous testimonies. “Straight” – that is, NORMAL people are that way because that is the way people are designed and born. It isn’t a choice any more than having an arm, leg or head is a choice.

  36. June 1st, 2011 at 17:56 | #36

    @John Noe I also have an apologetics blog, which is linked off my social commentary blog. Glad you liked it! I try to educate people on what is wrong with our society which needs fixing.

    That’s where you are wrong, Sean.
    Jesus conquered sin and death and He is alive. His life, living in us, is where we get power over sin.
    “I am the way, and the truth, and the life, and no one comes to the Father, but by me.”

    Ruth, Jesus may very well have been gay himself, since there’s no evidence that if he existed, he married. Common for gay men not to marry. He may have been straight, and was just too busy with other things to get married, too.

    I doubt he’d care much about gay people, or whether they get married or not. He’d be very concerned about all the divorces, though. He was pretty specific about people not divorcing, a topic the “National Organization for Marriage” appears uninterested in addressing: they want same-sex marriage outlawed, but not divorce.

  39. Ruth
    June 2nd, 2011 at 23:47 | #39

    @Sean
    Jesus was an observant Jew, and He alone kept the law perfectly.
    There is absolutely no way that He ever engaged in homosexual practice.
    He “was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.”

    Jesus cares about everyone, and sin hurts everyone.

    “Sin pays a wage, which is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus the Messiah, our Lord.”

    “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosover believes in Him will not perish, but have everlasting life.”

    “No one takes [my life] from me, but I myself am laying it down. I have authority to lay it down and I have authority to take it again. This is the command I received from my Father.”

  40. June 3rd, 2011 at 06:25 | #40

    @Sean Sean, you just show your total ignorance of the Bible every time you try to discuss what is in it. No, Jesus wasn’t married because he had a mission to accomplish, and that didn’t include marriage. Believe it or not, one can be unmarried and not be homosexual. Jesus, as God, addressed homosexuality very plainly, and he also directly taught Paul who also addressed homosexuality very plainly. It is an abomination to God.

    And you love that red-herring about divorce, which has nothing to do with what marriage is. And if you ever read the Bible, you would know that Jesus specifically allowed divorces for specific cases.
