As a follow-up to my article King and King Promotes Perversion (http://www.conservativetruth.org/article.php?id=3222) I would like to comment on the courage of two families who recently sued their Massachusetts school system for reading the perverted book to a classroom of seven-year-olds. King and King is a fairy tale (no pun intended) about a prince who rejects princess after princess before finally settling on another prince to marry. The book ends with a drawing of the two homosexuals kissing one another on the lips. Just what most Americans would like their children to see.
According to the American Library Association, King and King has been ranked in the top ten of books Americans requested to be removed from libraries. They have good reason. The book promotes a lifestyle which most Americans (and everyone who believes the Bible) see as abhorrent and disgusting. Homosexuals (including lesbians) make up far less than one per cent of the population. Yet, though their numbers are small, they have used militancy and intimidation to force schools and libraries to promote their perversion.
Incidentally, the book, which was written by two Dutch women, has sold about 15,000 copies in the United States since it was translated into English in 2002. Thats not a lot of books. Obviously the general public is not interested. So who has bought the few copies which have been sold? Just as obviously (since we continue to hear complaints about schools exposing children to it), it is mainly being purchased by schools.
Why is it that schools and libraries feel they know so much better about what our children should be taught than we do? As we discuss this issue, the State of California is considering introducing school textbooks highlighting the role of homosexuals in its history. California parents should take note of what the parents discussed below have done and follow suit
To begin with, I would like to personally congratulate parents Rob and Robin Wirthlin and David and Tonia Parker for having the courage to do something instead of just complaining. Most of America believes as they do that the State has no right to attempt to repudiate the values they teach their children by brainwashing them with filth disguised as sex education. But few Americans are willing to do anything more than talk about it to one another.
The Wirthlins and the Parkers have sued the town of Lexington, a wealthy suburb about 12 miles west of Boston. In addition, they have named Lexington Superintendent of Schools Paul Ash and several other school and town officials in their lawsuit. Good for them!
Homosexual activists have long used the courts to gain rights dreamt up by out-of-control judges and justices who insist on legislating from the bench. These imagined rights exist nowhere in the Constitution. Why shouldnt people who believe in the values upon which this nation was founded use the courts to protect real rights based on the Constitution and codified by law?
In this case, the Wirthlins and the Parkers charge that the school broke a 1996 Massachusetts law requiring that parents be notified of sex-education lessons. They also accuse the town and school officials of violating the Massachusetts civil rights code, according to the families attorney, the Boston law firm Denner Associates.
The suit began when Robin Wirthlin complained to the schools principal after her 7-year-old son told her about the reading of the book to his class of about twenty mostly seven-year-olds. Since Lexington is in the Socialist State of Massachusetts (the only state to legalized same-sex marriages), it should come as no surprise that the principal ignored her complaint.
The Superintindent of Schools, dreamed up a novel defense of the towns actions. He claimed that this was not about sex education at all. Ash said, I see this as a civil-rights issue. People who are gay have a right to be treated equally. Isnt that sweet? Ash is not a loose cannon school superintendent who brainwashes young children too young to even be thinking about sex. He is the champion of the poor, down-trodden homosexuals, who interrupt church services by screaming obscenities if they disagree with the churchs teaching.
(A common tactic of the homosexual activist group, Act Up, is to send large groups of homosexuals to churches where the pastor teaches what the Bible has to say about homosexual sin to disrupt the services and intimidate the ministers. The group describes itself on one of its websites as an activist group, a lobby and a militant group.)
After being ignored by the principal and the town, the Wirthlins were joined by another family whose child was exposed to the homosexual propaganda. David Parker had already been in conflict with the town since his son, then five, brought home a diversity bag that included the book Whos in a Family. The book was a homosexual propaganda intended to make children believe that homosexual marriages were just as normal as heterosexual ones.
Parker was arrested for trespassing when he refused to leave his sons school until the school promised to excuse his son from any discussions on same-sex marriages. Since when is it trespassing for a parent to be on public school property, particularly when his son attends the school?
In an online chat room on this subject, I came across this anonymous comment that says it well: Kids need to be kids as long as possible, to give them time to mature emotionally. Then they will be better equipped to deal with whatever the world eventually places in their path.
These parents had every right to protect their children from attacks on the values and religious education they gave them at home and in church. The town and the school had no right to undermine those values, in essence teaching the children that their parents were stupid and intolerant.
Im proud that these parents stood up for their rights. I only wish more Americans would stand up and be counted. Unfortunately, most are willing to sit back and let others do the fighting for them.
In the words of a song I sang as a young man, Freedom isnt free. You gotta pay a price, you gotta sacrifice, for your liberty!
