Let me preface this by admitting I may be somewhat old fashioned here, but I don’t believe sexuality (of any kind) should be taught in schools, especially when injected with the liberal interpretation of “tolerance”. Be it hetero, homo, bi, or trans, aren’t there other pressing scholastic topics that should be covered more in depth, like mathematics, English, and science?
Apparently not.
“‘The Laramie Project’ is being performed this weekend at Acton-Boxborough High School. It presents a message to its audience that Christians with traditional moral values toward homosexuality are hateful, bigoted, and likely murderers. It’s pretty chilling stuff if you’re a Christian in that town these days. Already, kids in the school are wearing their “erase hate” bracelets (given out by the play’s pro-homosexual promoters) and repeating the play’s messages among themselves.”

This play, about the murder of Matthew Shepard, contains language like, “shit outta luck” — “Matt was a blunt little shit” — “I always say, don’t fuck with a Wyoming queer, cause they will kick you in your fucking ass.” – “a freakin’ nightmare”– “I was just bullshittin around with my shit” — “I was in deep-ass sand” – “they better watch their fuckin ass” — “ask him if he’d ever do anymore tweak” — “I don’t know if Aaron was fucked up or whether he was coming down [off drugs] or what, but Matthew had money. Shit, he had better clothes than I did. Matthew was a little rich bitch … There was times when I was all messed up on meth… ” — “pissed him off” — “good to be with people who felt like shit” — “why’d you fuck up like that” – “he tried to grab my dick” – “Up there in the max ward … when they found out Aaron was coming to prison, they were auctioning those boys off; ‘I want him. I’ll put aside five, six, seven cartons of cigarettes.’ …” — “big-ass band of angels” [protester] with “big-ass wings” – “we don’t say a fuckin’ word” — Police officer who “went out and got shit-faced” [drunk] — etc.
Are these kind of phrases necessary to prove the point, or is this your standard New York-borough-coffee shop-performance art comes to high school?
The murder of Matthew Shepard was a tragedy, but it continues to be a rallying cry for the left, and is also being used to direct hate squarely at Christians. While some churchgoers believe homosexuality is a sin, some could care less, as long as the lifestyle isn’t rubbed in their face.
If someone were to say that Black people didn’t care much for gays, the Tolerance.org types would be losing their minds, screaming racism. If someone were to say that Latinos didn’t care much for gays, those same liberals would be taking their protests to the streets. But to imply that Christians will kill gays is jumping the shark.
The most you can expect some Christians to do against homosexuals… is pray for them.
So instead of properly educating children so they don’t require remedial training in college, students are receiving study guides on “hate” from teachers, and controversial plays are being rammed down a community’s throat.

Again, I could care less who’s gay and who’s not, but some of us are tired of having some kind of sexuality thrown in our faces, and behind our backs once our kids are in the seclusion of a classroom.
Indoctrination is alive, well, and moving to ever lower grade levels. Ignore it at your own peril.
Q – Mathematics, English, and science?
A – It would be too dificult in light of having to rewrite history and make sure there is no praying to a christian God.
Though the above is tongue in cheek one can see how busy they are which is something the “right” could do better.
