How Gay Propaganda Is Being Used In Schools To Brainwash Kids
A letter written by a nine-year-old girl to her teacher after he told the class he was gay has gone viral as many praise the girl's kind words.
The unidentified primary school student wrote the letter after a class on homophobic "bullying". The teacher revealed his sexuality tio help the children understand why homophobia is wrong..
“As part of anti-bullying week, I’d asked who’d heard ‘gay’ being used as an insult. Almost every one of my class put their hands up. I was stunned", the unidentified British teacher told Pink News.
“Then I asked who thought that people who were gay or lesbian were bad or wrong in some way, again almost every hand went up."
The teacher then spoke to the headmaster of the school who agreed it would "helpful" to tell the class that he was gay and had a "fiancĂ©" "so they at least knew one gay person and hopefully explain that when people use that word they’re talking about me".
The teacher said the reaction was "fantastic" and the class had lots of questions but after a few minutes, they were over it and they moved on with the lesson.
And then the letter came a few days later.
“Reading it brought tears to my eyes and it took me a little while to compose myself. When I thanked her she just shrugged and repeated something one of the boys in the class had said during the lesson, ‘It’s just your life’. Then she went back to her maths.
“Now, I can mention my "fiance" as easily as any other teacher and my class know me a little better. I’ve had a lot of letters and cards over the years, but this one I know I’ll keep forever.”
The full letter reads:
“Dear Mr R
“Even though you’re gay, I will always treat you the same way as I do now. I still think about you the same way as I used to. You’re a great teacher and these are just some of the word’s (sic) that I would describe you as: great, amazing, fantastic, brilliant, awesome and brave.
“The reason why I say brave is because you shared a personal secret which was very brave.
“You don’t have to feel scared because I know that everone in the class feels the same way as I do.
“From A x x
PS. We are all "proud" of you”

Shmuel Lefkowitz "Thinks" Teaching Kids "Healthy Attitudes" Towards Homosexuality Is A Jewish Value!
In Yeshiva World's endorsement for Flatbush Assemblyman Steven Cymbrowitz (district 45), Shmuel Lefkowitz showed his lack of understanding of Jewish values
Shmuel Lefkowitz of Agudath Israel knows that he can always count on the Assemblyman to look out for our best interests. “Steven is a true advocate for our community. His priorities are shaped by the community he represents and his voting record reflects the community’s values,” said Lefkowitz.
(YWN)
So let's look at some of his votes that Lefkowitz thinks are Jewish vaules
1. He voted multiple times for a grant program to teach kids about "healthy attitudes" towards homosexuality
Instruction in civility, citizenship and character education. The regents shall ensure that the course of instruction in grades kindergarten through twelve includes a component on civility, citizenship and character education. Such component shall instruct students on the principles of honesty, tolerance, personal responsibility, respect for others, observance of laws and rules, courtesy, dignity and other traits which will enhance the quality of their experiences in, and contributions to, the community. The regents shall determine how to incorporate such component in existing curricula and the commissioner shall promulgate any regulations needed to carry out such determination of the regents. FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS SECTION, "TOLERANCE," "RESPECT FOR OTHERS" AND "DIGNITY" SHALL INCLUDE AWARENESS AND SENSITIVITY TO DISCRIMINATION OR HARASSMENT AND CIVILITY IN THE RELATIONS OF PEOPLE OF DIFFERENT RACES, WEIGHTS, NATIONAL ORIGINS, ETHNIC GROUPS, RELIGIONS, RELIGIOUS PRACTICES, MENTAL OR PHYSICAL ABILITIES, SEXUAL ORIENTATIONS, GENDERS, AND SEXES.
3. He voted to allow gay "couples" to adopt children (read the memo for this bill to see that gay couples were the intent)
4. He voted to ban therapy to help a minor overcome unwanted homosexual desires a practice that was supported by almost 200 rabbanim
also in the beginning of this bill is states
5. he voted to extend same sex "marriage" to estates, powers and trusts law. (which in essence is a defacto vote for same sex "marriage")
6. He voted specifically to give a tax exemption to a gay organization
7. He voted in favor to the constitutional amendment to allow casinos that many rabbanim urged everyone to vote against after it passed and it when before the state for a vote last year.
8. He voted for Coumo's Abortion Bill (otherwise known as the women's "equality" act)
9. He voted for Sonda the sexual orientation non discrimination act (add gays to the states non discrimination act which allows religious people to get sued for not renting a hall out for a same "sex "wedding"
10.He voted to force insurance companies to provide service for domestic partners (which is basically a civil union originally specifically designed for gays)
since 10 is a nice round number I'll stop here.
He also has a few terrible votes that were done in committee (allowing 21 year old to be tried as a child, stalling a bill that would have convicted molesters government supervision after they get out of jail etc.), or by hostile amendment (tax payer funded abortions) that I would add but since there is no internet record (I have the proof of these votes in case anyone wants them) I'll "excuse" Lefkowitz for not knowing about them.
Vote for this coming Tuesday for Ben Akselrod who has promised publicly he will sponsor a bill to repeal same sex "marriage", and will vote against all anti Torah bills!

UFT Pushing Homosexuality In Schools
This was in the UFT's pamphlet they send out to all it's members.
New teacher diaries
New teacher diaries
How I came out to my students
by Hudsynyc | January 16, 2014 New York Teacher issue
Sixteen 14-year-old girls taught by one 28-year-old woman. It is my
second year having an all-girls 9th-grade advisory class at my high
school in Brooklyn. Advisory is a more informal class where students
have the opportunity to build real relationships with each other and
with their advisory teacher.
By the end of September, my group of girls knew many things about me: I am originally from the New Jersey suburbs. I have a cat and a dog. I play soccer every week. I am relaxed but like to get things moving and accomplished in the classroom. They knew I buy my jeans at American Eagle and that I am never without an iced coffee in the morning. What they didn’t know was that I am "married" to a woman.
Although our school does not yet have a gay-straight alliance or any LGBT staff members who are out to the students, gay or bisexual teenagers seem ordinary to many of our students, who speak freely about their own sexuality and that of their peers. We even have a transgender student who changed "his" name and now uses the boys’ bathroom and locker room (as per the DOE’s nondiscrimination policy and our principal’s unyielding support).
At the start of this year, I was out to only the group of 10th-grade girls who had been in my advisory class last year. Now I had a new group of 14-year-old girls who didn’t know. What would they think? How would they look at me? Would they feel awkward sitting near me? I remember how I was at their age. And their parents? Their grandparents? Parent-teacher conferences were only a couple of weeks away. Many of their families were religious or from cultures less "tolerant" of homosexuality. I assumed some of the students must be "homophobic".
But one Friday, a student from last year’s advisory dropped in to say hello to me. As we were chatting, she asked how my "wife" was doing.
After she left, one of my most bubbly and outspoken girls asked without hesitation, “Are you bi or gay?”
I tried to keep it cool. “Oh, yes. I forgot. I haven’t told you guys yet, have I? Now when I tell you this, I want us to remember our advisory family rules No. 1 and No. 2. Listen without judgment. And respect.”
Long pause.
“I’m "married" to a woman. I’m gay.”
Cheers and claps. “You’re "married" to a woman?” More cheers and claps.
Hands shot up into the air. “I just want to say that I hate when people "bully" gay people or have somthing not nice to say. Just let people live.”
“For me, being gay is just as normal as being straight,” another student said. “Every woman in my family is gay besides me and my mother. My aunt’s gay. Her girlfriend’s always over at our house. That’s just how it is. We all sit around together.”
“I’m fine with everyone,” a third student responded. “Love who you love. But my grandfather, he’s not. I can’t stand the things he has to say when someone gay comes on the TV. I’ve tried to talk to him about it, but there’s no point. He just doesn’t listen.”
“My mom used to be the same way,” a different student said. “I just kept talking to her when she made those comments. She’s still, you know, whatever. But she’s getting better. It takes time.”
“What’s your "wife"’s name again?” “Where is she from?” “Is her mother OK with everything?” “How did you meet?”
Looks like my assumptions were wrong.

Chicago To Teach Sex To Your 5 Year Old, And Homosexuality to Your 10 Year Old
The Chicago Board of Education recently passed a new policy that requires sex education to begin in kindergarten, mandating that a set amount of time be spent on sex education in every grade.
All this is being done, while the graduation rate for for Chicago Public School students is barely over 60% (the National Avg is around 75%).
The new policy, which was passed in February, according to ABC News, is part of a broader makeover of the school district’s sexual health program. Sometime within the next two years, students in every grade, including kindergarten, will be required to spend a certain amount of time on "sex education".
The mandated sex-ed for Chicago kindergartners will include instruction about male and female anatomy and reproduction. Though it’s not clear exactly how much the 5 and 6-year olds will be told on the act itself.
Coursework from fifth grade to 12th grades will concentrate on sexually-transmitted diseases and contraception. Abstinence will reportedly be presented as a possible method of birth control. Homosexuality, gender identity and bullying related to those things will also be part of the curriculum at some point from fifth grade to 12th grade, as well.
“It is important that we provide students of all ages with accurate and appropriate information so they can make healthy choices in regards to their social interactions, behaviors and relationships,” Chicago Public Schools CEO Barbara Byrd-Bennett said in a statement.
CPS says more than half of its high school students are having sex. Cook County ranks number one in the country for sexually transmitted diseases and the U.S. has one of the highest teenage pregnancy rates in the world.
"I just don't think it's appropriate," says Melissa Diebold. "I don't
think it's age appropriate. They have no concept of anything like that
at that stage in life."
"CPS shouldn't take control of someone else's children like that with our sex education," says Mark Macklan. "That's how I feel."
Mikkel Nance believes sex-ed should begin at home but also welcomes schools getting involved, early on.
"He's in second grade, and we've had introductory conversation on how things work, and how body works," Nance says. "I do applaud CPS for trying to talk to children early the only concern is how they implement it, and if they involved parents in that process and if they do so they'll make that transition smoothly.
In other countries, like Holland, sex ed begins at 4 years old. Sexologist, Dr. Rachael Ross says it's about time for the U.S.
"The parents are kind of in denial about what's happening," Dr. Ross says. "You know, in urban populations, the average age that kids start to have sex is between 13 and 14."
For the first time in Chicago, sex-ed instruction will cover sexual orientation and gender identity. Students will be introduced to terms and definitions associated with sexual identity, including those related to heterosexual and LGBT populations, in an effort to bring awareness, promote "tolerance" and prevent bullying, said the school board.
Parents can remove their children from the sexual health education program if they want, but the apparent default is for kindergartners to learn about sex.
Chicago’s public school system is the nation’s third-largest school district, with approximately 431,000 students.
All this is being done, while the graduation rate for for Chicago Public School students is barely over 60% (the National Avg is around 75%).

The mandated sex-ed for Chicago kindergartners will include instruction about male and female anatomy and reproduction. Though it’s not clear exactly how much the 5 and 6-year olds will be told on the act itself.
By the time students get to third and fourth grade, the focus will
include some good things like appropriate and inappropriate touching, as well as puberty and
HIV/AIDS.

From A Gay-Website "Please Just Start Admitting That We Do Actually Want To Indoctrinate Kids?"
This is a copy word for word by a gay web site where they admit to trying to brainwash kids into thinking homosexuality is moral, healthy, and normal.
On a widely read homo website
In response to New York’s recently introduced marriage equality bill, the so-called National Organization for Marriage got a bunch of pictures of black people and some guy who sounds like Foghorn Leghorn to repeat the same lies about indoctrinating schoolchildren that they ran in 2009. They accuse us of exploiting children and in response we say, “NOOO! We’re not gonna make kids learn about homosexuality, we swear! It’s not like we’re trying to recruit your children or anything.” But let’s face it—that’s a lie. We want educators to teach future generations of children to accept queer sexuality. In fact, our very future depends on it.
The battle over Tennessee’s “Don’t Say Gay Bill” has made this most apparent. Why would anybody get all up in arms about punishing teachers who mention queers in the classroom unless we wanted teachers to do just that? In response against the bill, FCKH8 hired some little girls to drop F-bombs in their online PSAs and gave out hundreds of “Don’t B H8N on the Homos” t-shirts, wristbands, pins and stickers to school children in front of TV cameras. Recruiting children? You bet we are.
Why would we push anti-bullying programs or social studies classes that teach kids about the historical contributions of famous queers unless we wanted to deliberately educate children to accept queer sexuality as normal?
Remember, Prop 8 passed along age lines with the very old voting largely in favor of it. The younger generation doesn’t fear homosexuality as much because they’re exposed to fags on TV, online, and at school. And I don’t know a single lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender person who wants that to stop. I for one certainly want tons of school children to learn that it’s OK to be gay, that people of the same sex should be allowed to legally marry each other, and that anyone can kiss a person of the same sex without feeling like a freak. And I would very much like for many of these young boys to grow up and start fucking men. I want lots of young ladies to develop into young women who voraciously munch box. I want this just as badly as many parents want their own kids to grow up and rub urinary tracts together to trade proteins and forcefully excrete a baby.
I and a lot of other people want to indoctrinate, recruit, teach, and expose children to queer sexuality AND THERE’S NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT. Hell, our opponents even do the same. Yes, they regularly appeal to parents, older adults, and “values voters” through their advertising but they also provide organizing materials so students so they can challenge queer acceptance on their own “Day of Dialogue.” The old Day of Dialogue website even contained a press kit so student organizers could alert the local media to come and cover their campaign. Anti-gay opponents are already unabashedly indoctrinating our children with the church and conservative politicians on their side and they make no bones about it.

Sure, they blow the few instances of parental disagreement over queer education histrionically out of proportion, but we do our opponents an even greater service when we trip all over ourselves promising not to mention queers in front of the kids when in fact we’d love to. And because we hide from this very basic fact and treat it like something to be ashamed of, we end up with watered-down unemotional pleas for equality like New York For Marriage Equality’s incredibly weaksauce ad:
Committed, loving relationships! Wedding vows! Until death do us
part! We just wanna be able to say “I Do!” Forget the thousands of
social benefits that regularly screw over queer people without marriage
equality. Forget that marriage equality states have lower rates of queer
youth and teen suicide. Forget that not educating our kids about queer
issues makes them ignorant, hateful little morons. All that doesn’t
matter just as long as Mary Jo Kennedy and Jo-Ann Shain can sit on a
couch with matching glasses and haircuts and dispassionately discuss
semantics.
Do you really think Mary Jo and Jo-Ann are gonna convince a bunch of parents who have just seen NOM’s scary ad that schools aren’t gonna teach their kids about gay fisting and anal sex? So what if NOM’s ad is full of lies and distortions? You know why they keep using those same tired old lies? BECAUSE THEY WORK. And if we plan on responding to scare tactics about indoctinating kids and outlawing religion with polite lesbian discussions about commitment, we’ve already lost.
How about this? How about we accept that we want kids to think better about queers and then create ads—with tons of verifiable supporting evidence—that just plainly state that denying marriage equality ruins people’s lives? That would at least be honest and a heck of a lot more compelling then this fearful mincing we’re doing to the tune and delight of our foes.
