Gay curriculum proposed for 5 year-olds
Against the wishes of parents, California continues to push an agenda of teaching about “alternative” lifestyles to children as young as five years old. Earlier this month we wrote about the proposed “Gay Day” celebration where “Harvey Milk’s lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender legacy” will be mandatory teaching. Now, the Oakland/San Francisco suburb of Alameda wants these lessons taught 5 year-olds, with no opt-out available for parents who object to the material.
A group of parents in a California school district say they are being bullied by school administrators into accepting a new curriculum that addresses bullying, respect and acceptance — and that includes compulsory lessons about the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community that will be taught to children as young as 5 years old.
The parents from the Unified School District in Alameda, a suburb of San Francisco and Oakland, say these issues are best learned at home and most definitely are not age-appropriate for elementary school children.
The parents are also angry that they will not be allowed to keep their children out of the classes.
“I believe these children are far too young to be learning about what these issues mean,” said Alaina Stewart, who has three children who attend elementary school in Alameda. “These are adult issues and they are being thrust upon the children.”
But the school board says otherwise, and its attorneys say that if the curriculum is adopted, the parents will have no legal right to remove their children from class when the lessons are being taught.
These aren’t the only ways the gay lifestyle is being promoted to children in California. Posters for the upcoming Folsom Street Fair are being prominently hung where children can see them. Last years, these posters mocked the Last Supper, where sex toys replaced the bread and juice. In San Diego, the Padres are holding a premium promotion to attract children to the ballpark on the same day they are recognizing the San Diego chapter of Gay Pride.
Elsewhere, same-sex marriage is taking root in New York. All the while church leaders are tossing in their support, with a majority of Protestant ministers supporting hate crimes legislation and adoption rights for gay couples. Most alarming was that 45% of respondents to this survey say they are more liberal now than 10 years ago. God help us!
We are living in the time of 2 Timothy 4:3-4, where churches are turning against sound doctrine and preaching what people want to hear, all in the name of church growth. This is leading to pews full of unconverted converts, and the great falling away from the faith that occurs just before Christ returns (2 Peter 2:1-2; 1 Timothy 4:1; 2 Thessalonians 2:3).
