Obama’s “Safe Schools” czar advocates teaching respect for homosexuals in kindergarten

  President Obama’s “Safe Schools” czar, Kevin Jennings, has advocated for teaching kindergarteners respect for the homosexual lifestyle. This is the same man that when told by a sophomore student that he had had sex with an older man stated that he hoped the underage student had worn a condom, instead of reporting the statuary rape of a minor to authorities.

  I believe that children should be taught to respect all of their elders, there is a certain lack of respect that is prevalent in all youngsters today that I find totally disconcerting. Children today on the whole simply do not have the respect for elders that we have come to expect from the younger generations. That being said, we are talking about six year old children here. There is no need to teach them about homosexual couples at this age, there is no need to teach them about straight couples  at this age.  Teaching them about homosexuality is akin to sex education. You can’t teach them about homosexuality while leaving the sex out of it.

Kindergarten age children do not even have thoughts about sex at this age, why are we rushing them into adulthood at an age where innocent thoughts about what they are going to play today should be their main worry of the day? Childhood is fleeting, it is gone before you know it, yet we are trying to take away from them their childhood and forcing them to grow up too fast. The main goal of kindergarten should be to assimilate children into the structure of a school year at a leisurely pace, to guide them into a controlled, disciplined environment with other children of the same age in an effort to prepare them for the rigors of the real school experience that lies ahead.

  We are living in an age where no child is ever held back a grade in school because we are told by liberals that all children learn at different ages and in different degrees. Children are moved up a grade because the stigma of being held back is supposed to retard their progress more than if they are pushed into a grade they are not yet ready for. The theory is that eventually the child will grasp the lessons that are being taught and will catch up to the other in their class in their own due time. The exception seems to be this one area. If children do learn at different levels, and they do, than how can the liberals justify teaching them about homosexuality at a certain set age?

  Teaching children about homosexuality, and sex education in general, should be left up to the parents. There is no other authority that can judge when a child is ready to learn about sex better than that child’s parents can. And there is no other authority that should decide when their child is mature enough to learn about sex. Of any kind.

  We continue to see parent’s rights being eroded, this is another example. The state is gaining more control over what our children learn and when they learn it. The parents no longer have the right to teach their own children what they believe is right and what they believe is wrong, and they no longer have the right to decide when the children should be taught these values. Parents should have the right and the obligation to instill their morals and beliefs into their children. The state no longer believes that the parent is the ultimate authority in a child’s life.

  President Obama’s “safe schools” czar is a perfect example of a person who believes that the state has moral authority over the children, not the parents. In his attempt to push his agenda he puts the rights of  a child’s parents to teach their children well behind what he believes is the state’s right to push an agenda on a child that is to young to comprehend what the ultimate lesson is.

  Parents need to unite to end this madness, it is time for us to stand up and let the government know that we are the ones who are responsible for teaching our children moral values. We are the ones that our children should look to for guidance, we should be our children’s moral compass, not the state.
