Well, I haven’t written for a while. I have been trying to decide if I should just drop out of political discussions altogether, but I guess I just can’t do it. I am too scared of the effects of liberal socialism and the resultant effects on our children. You see, a child only has one childhood; during that time foundations are laid that cannot be undone. I want liberals to quit trying to plant chaos into these foundations.
Today I read that children were being subjected to things such as ”Coming Out Day” and “Gay and Lesbian History Month”. Why? When have we ever had any kind of day that celebrates sexuality in school? Why were children in San Francisco brought on a field trip to watch their lesbian teacher get married? When does any class need to go on a field trip to watch any wedding? Or what about the class trips to the mosques? Schools don’t need to bring kids to any church meeting, period.
Let me tell you a story so you can understand my position. When I was in fourth grade or so, my good friend at school was Jewish. I saw her write her name in Hebrew, and I wanted to learn to write mine in Hebrew, too. Laura thought I needed to learn more than just how to write my name, so that I could actually understand a little about why it was written that way, so she gave me her Saturday School booklet and began instructing me in our free time at school. Well, I brought the booklet home, and when my dad saw it, he practically had a heart attack.
We were brought up Catholic, but my dad constantly pointed out the biblical errors he found in the Catholic religion. He was still definitely Christian. He had a problem with me learning anything about another religion without his direct supervision and censorship of the information. Sounds pretty closed-minded, right? (And all you that rush to accuse conservatives of spreading hate, just hold on a minute. To this day and every day forward, there is not a drop of anti-semitism in my blood. Discernment isn’t hate, and besides, I wouldn’t dare to hate God’s chosen people anyway.) Well, now that I am an adult with my own children, I understand completely.
If a child is going to learn about something pertaining to sex or religion, or any other delicate subject, the instruction should come from the parents. Not the government. Parents in more liberal school districts should at the very least be informed ahead of time what is going to be taught so that they can opt out of participating. My child belongs to me. My child is my responsibility. The pleasure and burden of raising one’s child in accordance with one’s worldview is what drove many of our founding families to this land of ours. Why are people trying to make children property of the government?
All I see is bias. Bias toward the liberal agenda. Bias against anything conservative. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: as protected in our constitution, if I don’t have the right to tell your kids how to be Christians or how to have sex, then you don’t have the right to tell my kids how to be Muslim (or any other religion, including humanism) or how to have sex (or who they can have sex with).
