California school requires "homosexual/transexual" course for Kindergarteners

A California school district seems intent on teaching pre-school children to accept the homosexual lifestyle.
The Alameda Unified School District announced it was considering a supplemental curriculum to eradicate "homophobia" in kindergarten children. Brad Dacus, founder of the Pacific Justice Institute (PJI), said the meeting room for the public session earlier this week was overcrowded with angry parents.

"Nowhere at anytime did it give any protection for children being bullied because of their faith, their religion, their size, their race, ethnicity," he points out. "It is only going to give this special anti-bullying protection for homosexuals and transsexuals."

Dacus said an attorney from PJI spoke before the board meeting. "And [the attorney] made it very clear that this is an abridgement and an affront to the neutral role that school districts are supposed to play in respecting the rights of parents and not to engage in such overt and open indoctrination and mandatory acceptance of such controversial, immoral lifestyles," he concludes.

Parents cannot opt out their children from the curriculum. Dacus says it is important to remember that the children are kindergarten age, and many cannot even write their names -- yet they are being taught that homosexuality is an acceptable lifestyle.

Gotta start indoctrination early. Government run schools are not about education.

why cant they just teach them how to build blocks, color inside the lines, and play duck duck goose. this is kindergarten. let them be kids.

Notice that Alameda county is in very close proximity to San Francisco. That should explain everything.

Gotta start indoctrination early. Government run schools are not about education.

Agreed, they're about shoving the kids through the system so they can get more money.

Time for private schooling or home schooling.

Cant opt out of the teaching, but you can opt out of the school district. Once enough kids leve the school the Gov money dries up and then they wil need to re-think what it is they are teaching.

Except here in our case we couldn't move to another school district without moving out of our home and or to another parish.
I'm all about anybodies lifestyle that one wants to participate in until it begins to affect me or mine. This is bullshit. This would NOT be taught to my child. Period.

I think telling a child, at least in a public school/educational environment, that they have to accept homosexuality is every bit as wrong as a school telling a child they must not.

I wouldn't have a problem making the child aware that some choose the lifestyle, but to tell them their opinion is immoral. That's up to the parent to encourage the child to form an opinion for themselves, and the proper way to express their opinion in a civilized soceity.
