Crystal Clear

Very Rarely do I see a post which talks about the true reason my kids shouldn't be learning about "I have two daddies" and other such social nonsense - it's a waste of school time.

Crystal of Crystal Clear recently addressed the fact that there was an all day symposium at a school concerning Gay/Bi-sexual/Lesbian/etc/etc and their challenges in society. She was sympathetic to the cause, but had little tolerance for the fact that an entire day of school was used to address the cause.

Needless to say, she got some flak. Name calling, etc. But she critiques her detractors better than I ever could...

"Each lady demonstrates by her own comments why school time is not
appropriate for ToBGLAD events. (snip) A cursory glance at both Caroline's and Meredith's observations supports my belief classroom time would have been more appropriately and wisely invested in helping students improve their spelling, grammar and most importantly... critical thinking skills"


What a cut down!! In the words of the Professor, go read the whole thing.
