AFA of PA ACTION ALERT
January 26, 2009
1.) FYI – Students for Equality Day
2.) No Name Calling Week – Nice Sounding . . . but
1.) Tuesday, January 27 is Students for Equality Day. On this day “high school and college students across the country are to wear the same shirt to school as a way to show unity within the community in the fight towards LGBT equality, particularly marriage equality.” The date exactly one week after the inauguration of Barack Obama was chosen to send him a clear message that they (homosexual activists and their allies) expect action on same sex marriage and other GLBT (gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender) issues.
2.) Additionally another assault in our nation’s schools this week is yet another Gay Lesbian Straight Education Network’s (GLSEN) “Days of Action.” It is ‘No Name Calling Week’ and it is geared towards grades 5-8. GLSEN has various ‘action days’ for older students including the ‘Day of Silence’ in April and ‘Ally Week’ in October and this year the new ‘TransAction Day’ on February 27th. This day deals with transgendered individuals.
The AFA of PA believes all students should be provided a safe learning environment and any bullying should be dealt with immediately. But to promote the acceptance of a dangerous and immoral lifestyle under the guise of ‘safe schools’ or anti-bullying’ places all students at risk.
Unlike the Day of Silence where you used to be able to obtain a list of participating high schools, GLSEN has NEVER revealed which middle schools are participating. Why are they afraid that parents will find out that they are involved in their child’s school? It is because behind the nice sounding name, “No Name Calling Week,” is the effort to get the ‘gay is okay’ message in front of these impressionable students. Even a look at the lesson plans, which they do post online, opens the door for any teacher who wants to push that same message of ‘gay is okay.’ The lesson plans are divided between K-4 (although ‘No Name Calling Week” is supposed to just be targeting middle school) and grades 5-8.
Each of the K-4 lessons has a list of “Literature Suggested for extension of lesson themes.” Click here for a list of K-12 books with homosexual themes that may be in your child’s school library. But a closer examination also shows some of the books listed as suggested literature in the “No Name Calling Week” lessons are listed on the Gateways to a Better Education website linked above.. GLSEN is not nearly as blatant as they used to be when they listed ‘Suggested Reading’ books such as The King and King or Heather Has Two Mommies, now they use innocent sounding books entitled Oliver Button is a Sissy, The Misfits, or It’s Okay to be Different.
ACTION NEEDED:
1.) If your child is in elementary or middle school, why not consider calling the principal to see if they plan on participating in ‘No Name Calling Week.”
2.) If your child attends a school which has a Gay Straight Alliance, click here to see, members of that club may decide to be a part of the Students for Equality Day and other protests this group may be planning. With the help of the internet, it’s not just GLSEN that is targeting your kids anymore; it’s these other groups – many of which have just been in existence since shortly after November 4th when California voters successfully passed their Marriage Protection Amendment. Homosexual activists are still ‘fighting mad’ and are trying even harder to target the next generation and mobilize them to support their cause of ‘equality.’
