After four months, Emmaus High School in Emmaus, Penn. finally released links to four videos it showed to students this past spring, after a Christian law firm intervened to defend the rights of parents to know what the public school is showing their children. The school defended the videos as anti-bullying, but they promoted a one-sided agenda with which parents may not agree. The school had refused to make the videos public, arguing that they were students' private work.
"The URLs, which parents and the [American Family Association of Pennsylvania] had been told were all about anti-bullying, proved to be quite the opposite. They were very much promoting homosexuality and transgenderism to a captive audience of children," Dianne Gramley, president of the Pennsylvania chapter of the American Family Association (AFA), said in a news release Friday. She reported that parents had requested the videos going back to May, shortly after they were shown to a captive audience of students.

I hope that the parents have a good attorney and sue the BOE and the school.
ReplyDeleteImagine that.
ReplyDeleteA Christian group upset because they don't approve of a message that is being shown to kids. The kids are compelled to participate..
Now... I wonder if that same group would ALSO agree that compelling children to participate in compulsory religious activities in school is equally as egregious.
I think so... but hey, I try have have some consistency in my world view, and eschew anything that seems hypocritical.
How about we stop with the indoctrination in schools and get back to reading, writing, and arithmetic? Sure anti-bullying is o.k. too... but leave the ethics lessons for home where parents control what their children learn.
Even if you think trans and gays are against God, you certainly would tell your kids not to bully anyone. That's just the Christian thing to do.
