Wow, is right. That is the last time I'll post. Didn't realize that my presence was considered so odious.

Even the politicians take August off.

I can imagine what's happening in the White House today - George Bush's tips on what not to do when the hurricane makes landfall.

Back to School: Checklist for Public School Parents




School is a place where young minds are shaped, values are formed, and world-views are established. Parents are the ones primarily responsible for guiding their child's education and moral training- not the teacher! We hope the following checklist will be helpful as you prepare you children to return to school.



Back to School: Checklist for Public School Parents

· Find out if your school has an "opt in" or an "opt out" policy. Will they notify you and ask consent before your child is exposed to sexual or other controversial subject matter in class?

· Opt Out! Write a letter to your school principal and your child's teacher explaining your wish that your child not be exposed to pro-homosexuality messages or any sex education messages in the classroom.

· Find out if your school has a student newspaper and subscribe. There are often announcements in student newspapers concerning controversial matters on campus, such a Gay-Lesbian club activities, etc.

· Find out if your school has a policy that allows minor students to leave campus for confidential medical treatment without notifying the parents. CRI has information on how you can take this matter to your school board and attempt to have the policy changed to a parent-friendly policy.

· Find out if the school authorizes or conducts an "gay" oriented programs such as a "Gay Day of Silence". Many parents have been successful in stopping these from happening in advance. Contact CRI if you want more information.

· When your kids come home from school, ask them if they did any journaling that day and, if so, what they wrote about. Teachers often have their students journal about their feelings on certain controversial issues, things that happen at home, etc, and then have the children leave their journals at school.

· Teach your child how to respond to the myths taught in public schools that contradict your values, such as the homosexual agenda, evolution science, etc.

· Scan textbooks, workbooks, teaching materials, and classroom handouts to ensure that your children are being taught in accordance with your values.

o Is it anti-parent? (Parents are ignorant, old fashioned)

o Does it instruct the child to keep secrets from the parent?

o Does it encourage a negative view of the child, his family, his country, or his future?

o Is it preoccupied with death, tragedy, hate, anger, revenge etc.? (e.g. Requires the child to write out his own epitaph.)

o Is it anti-religion? Does it lead the child to reject morals and values taught at home or church?

o Does it lead the child to believe there are no absolute standards? (Morality is relative and depends on the situation)

o Does it encourage experimentation with sex, alcohol, or drugs?

o Does it censor out all knowledge of the importance of religion in American history?

o Does it force the child to make choices based on hypothetical situations and decide it is okay to lie, cheat, steal, kill, have sex outside of marriage, have an abortion, or commit suicide?

o Does it force the child to answer questionnaires about the family's attitudes, behaviors, customs, political views that invade privacy?

o Does it blur traditional concepts of gender identity and force the child to accept radical feminist notions?

o Does it censor out our nation's heroes such as George Washington but spend much time studying controversial contemporary figures?

o Does it lead the child to believe that global or world government is preferable to the American constitutional republic?

o Does it imply that government spending programs lead to economic prosperity instead of hard work and perseverance?

o Does it lead the child to believe that disarmament rather than defense can prevent future war?

You see, if you just install the appropriate listening and viewing devices, you can learn all this without having to ask any of the lying communistic teachers or your no-good, rebellious child who probably even likes to dance.

I do wonder though, why the radical leftwingers who wrote up this list believe that government spending programs lead to hard work and perseverence. We know they just rot the moral fiber of America.

Oooh! You are around! What do you think of the new administrative restrictions on CHIP enrollments, or is CHIP/SCHIP not within the sphere of things you deal with?

That's CHiPs. Unlike at least one other LA denizen, I am at least occasionally case-sensitive. Hah.

I don't generally deal with CHIP or SCHIP, though I don't understand why expansion of the program is such a big deal to Republicans. It seems to my naive eye that healthy kids are something we should strive for, but who knows.

They've been kicking kids off the rolls here in Texas for a few years now, so this year actually was considered progressive when the legislature allocated more money to the program.

The one thing I felt was wrong with my kids' schools was elementary teachers who tried to push meat eating as cruel. My daughter, in 1st grade, said to us "I might not eat meat anymore. Just think how many animals will suffer in my life if I don't stop soon." I'm pretty sure it came from her teacher.

The most active lib from my social circle is pissed that the HS provides the military with list of grads each year.

Here's the weird thing though, my kid's school is pretty enlightened, they have a gay/lesbian group as an example.

My sister send her kids to a school that is lily white, and w/o any homosexual club (I'm betting). She tells this story to us:

Her kid goes to an after prom party with her date. They are refused entry becasue the people holding the party think her date is gay- no fags allowed, she is told. Okay. Now my kids wouldn't want to be at a party with anyone who thought way, and wouldn't be friends with them. My sister's reaction was "He's not gay, he just has a lisp." Like the misidentification is the problem.

Point is there are still some very screwed up schools out there.

For that matter, even at our HS I hear there are all these white kids who consider themselves "white power" and walk around with Confederate belt buckles and shit. The black kids and the Jews are bad in their eyes I guess. i don't get why their parents live in a place where they have to go to school with blacks and Jews and with a Homosexual club. they should move out to where my sister lives.

Like they don't worship a single 30-something guy who was inseparable from his Mom and was always talking about his wood. Talk about gay.
