Write
a letter to your child's principal and teacher politely
expressing your concerns about the promotion of
homosexuality in your child's school.
Be
aware that such topics as family diversity or anti-bullying
are used as a cover to promote the homosexual agenda.
|
| |
a)
|
It's
important to state in your letter that you object
to your child being involved in any presentation which
portrays homosexuality as a normal, equal lifestyle
choice. Because many school boards have a so-called
"equity" policy on homosexuality, it will
always be portrayed sympathetically.
|
| |
b)
|
Request
that you be notified of any presentation by school
staff or outside presenters which includes or is likely
to include a homosexual component.
|
| |
c)
|
Specifically
request in your letter that you be advised well in
advance of any outside presentation because the school
may subsequently argue that presenters are from outside
the school and "we weren't aware that they were
going to include a homosexual element in their presentation."
This is unlikely. School personnel are usually well
aware when a presentation is going to include homosexuality.
If they don't know, then it is their responsibility
to ask in advance and then inform you.
|
| |
d)
|
Request
in your letter that the teacher and principal inform
any other teachers who work with your child, of your
request about the homosexual issue. Ensure that your
child communicate with you any breaches of this request.
|
| |
e)
|
Request
the teacher keep your letter on file in the classroom
and request that the principal place one in the official
Student Record file in the office.
|

|
Follow
up your letter with a phone call, email, or, better
yet, a personal interview with the teacher and principal.
This makes it more difficult for the teacher and principal
to argue that they "forgot" to follow your
instructions. When you visit the school, ask to see
your child's Student Record and check to be sure your
letter is on file, as requested. |
If
the School Ignores Your Request
If
you discover that your child has been involved in homosexual-friendly
presentations, be prepared for the school to stonewall
you. Because of the controversial nature of the promotion
of homosexuality, school boards and principals sometimes
attempt to "solve" the problem by keeping parents
completely in the dark, on the basis that "homosexuality
is an equity issue and board policy cannot be ignored.
Therefore, they tell the parents that they do not have
the "choice" to remove their children from such
presentations since they are only promoting board policy.
Specious
Reasoning
This
is specious reasoning. It is illogical, incorrect in fact,
even unlawful, as well as altogether unethical to deny
parents knowledge that their children are being subjected
to homosexual presentations in their school. Unfortunately
boards and principals take this position because homosexuality
is one of the most sacrosanct issues on the politically
correct agenda, that they are required to promote, as
a matter of board policy, under the "equity"
rubric. School personnel are generally terrified of being
caught out on the wrong side.
Consequently,
you are dealing with people who fear for their standing
in the board and even their teaching positions. However,
parents have rights too. Check out your province's Education
Act to ascertain what they are, and be prepared to exercise
them.
Remember
to document all interactions between you and school personnel
and be prepared to follow up every time. This probably
won't make you popular, but it may well get you what you
want.
If
the school is not cooperative, you may wish to send a
copy of your letter to the Area Superintendent and even
the Director. Remember, though, that they, too, are promoters,
even big boosters, of board policy. For many of them,
your objections to the homosexual agenda place you in
enemy territory. Thus, staying under the radar and trying
to get the local school staff to cooperate with you is
initially the best way to proceed.
Be
prepared for serious resistance. But, remember, as a parent,
these requests are your right.
