The story:
Fr. John Malloy is a feisty priest, a Salesian of Don Bosco. He demonstrates the kind of courage so necessary in this new missionary age. This self described “87 years young” priest maintains a weblog entitled “A Shepherd’s Voice” where he updates the faithful on the latest fronts in the cultural struggle. On Wednesday he reported that “…board members of the Alameda Unified School District voted 3-2 to introduce a new curriculum that will expose children as young as five to homosexual activist propaganda. …The curriculum in question is defined as the “Safe Schools Curriculum Addressing Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity.” However, a quick look at the lesson plans reveals that the issue of “safety” is being used as an excuse for indoctrination.”
He is correct…
Parents are the first teachers of their children. The family is the first school. To support “Parental Choice in Education” is to affirm that Parents should be able to make the choice of how to extend their own teaching mission by choosing a school for their children outside of the home. It is to support their right to participate in curriculum development. The teaching of the Catholic Church on this issue is crystal clear. The family is the first cell of society, the first church, first government, first school, first hospital, first economy, and the first mediating institution of society. That teaching is at the heart of Catholic Social Thought. It should also lay the foundation for building a truly just public policy in the area of education.
Which is why, of course, the left is so determined to war on the family – they don’t want Mom and Dad and those silly, old priests, pastors and nuns teaching the kiddies because that means the kiddies won’t be taught, to quote from the Grade 2 lesson plan:
Reinforce to students that in our school and community there are many varying family structures. Encourage students to notice that Roy and Silo were two male penguins but still were family…
…Reflect and Adjourn the Meeting
Reflect upon what is most important in a family is not who makes up the family but how they care for and love each other – just like Roy and Silo’s family…
And if that doesn’t work, there will always be re-education cam….errr…I mean, “sensitivity training” in high school and college if the message isn’t drilled in to their heads in grammar school: “Your family is not unique and beautiful, its just one of a swamp of human groupings, all of which are morally the same”.
The left hopes to use the public school system – very correctly identified these days by some as “government-funded indoctrination centers” – to create successive generations of people who are alienated from truth. Alienated from family, from God, from Church – enslaved to the flesh, dependent upon government and willing pawns of social control and leftist experimentation. Some people wonder why I keep battling it out – its because we have to stop these fools before they destroy all of us. Yes, even themselves – the dimwits don’t realize that the only reason they can be freakishly weird is because non-freak Christians, Jews, etc get the job of civilization done on a day to day basis. Some lefty’s understand this – and some get murdered for their trouble – but most seem to think you can have civil society absent civil observance of truth.
