A recent wave of bills requiring public schools to teach students about the historical contributions of lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender people has made its way to Illinois, which recently joined California, Colorado, New Jersey, and Oregon, in enacting such a mandate. These lessons might sound innocuous enough, but even as a gay man, I think they're actually an affront to our freedoms.
The agenda here is pretty blatant: Liberal legislatures and educators hope to push students toward a liberal view on LGBT issues, even though those values and sexual practices might fly in the face of their family’s worldviews. Even if you, like me, believe in LGBT acceptance and tolerance, this isn’t something you should support.
This initiative violates the freedom of far too many religious people. Parents should feel they can safely pass their spiritual convictions to their children without government interference. As of 2019, 31% of adults are still not in favor of same-sex marriage. There is no better way to make an entire group of people more bitter toward LGBT people than stomping on their beliefs and parental rights in the name of furthering your agenda.

Changing all of history to reflect their sickness!
There are many more more disabled people in the U.S. than LGTB people, but not a minute is spent on what it's like to be blind or deaf except for how Helen Keller lived and overcame the disabilities. As for what it's like to be missing limbs or be paralyzed, schools offer the sound of crickets.
ReplyDeleteSo I guess mandatory teaching of contributions by pedophiles is on the progressive agenda? I hope I haven't given them any ideas.
ReplyDeleteBack in my day they were called queers or faggots and were considered low lifes. Now they are celebrated as normal and we all are expected to just accept that.
