Indoctrination Disguised as Diversity
By Mimi Rothschild
There is a flurry of media attention pointed at a Massachusetts school district that distributed a “diversity book bag” to elementary students promoting the homosexual lifestyle. When David Parker, a concerned parent, prompted a meeting with school administrators, they responded by having him arrested for trespassing.
An ACLU lawyer, however, told the judge that “it is a tremendous bonus” for children to be given information of which their parents wouldn’t approve, and that teaching children homosexuality when their parents’ Biblical beliefs do not support that has nothing to do with a violation of religious freedom, according to the MassResistance.org reports.
This boils down to a fundamental question about the nature of government’s rights. Does the state have the right to interrupt the parent-child relationship for the “good” of society? It’s an interesting concept; one that Germany has been grappling with recently.
Is it really that radical or extremists to believe that parents should have ultimate authority over what children learn? Or should we allow an outside body of representatives to decide what’s best for our children?
If you take this logic to the extreme, you end up with children growing up in test tubes, belonging to no one but the state a la Brave New World. We’re one step away if we give up the right to have any kind of say in what our children learn.
My advice to Mr. Parker: Stop trying to reform and just get out. Homeschool your children and never worry about compromising their innocence again.
