New Katherine Kersten logic: Bullying is a family value [View All]

[Lydia Leftcoast]

The bully is the scourge of the elementary school playground. So who could object to a new anti-bullying curriculum scheduled to be tested in three Minneapolis elementary schools -- Hale, Jefferson and Park View -- and adopted districtwide if successful?

But what if that curriculum is really a disguise for a very different agenda brought to Minneapolis by the Human Rights Campaign, a Washington, D.C.-based gay and transgender advocacy group? What if its lessons have little to do with bullying, and much to do with ensuring that kids as young as age 5 submit to HRC's orthodoxy on family structure, even if it differs from their own parents' view?

What if students who dissent are subjected to teacher-directed peer pressure and negative evaluations?

In other words, what if anti-bullying advocates themselves turn out to be the bullies?

In other words, don't teach kids not to bully those who are different from themselves, because they might not grow up the proper fear and hatred of GLBT people. :eyes:
