I Knew Penguins Were Gay


A school district in California has imposed a mandatory "Gay-Day" curriculum for kindergarten students. The curriculum is going to cost about $8000 to implement and is entitled "LGBT" for "lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual." It's being brought in under the guise of the school's official "anti-bullying" curriculum (because our precious little snowflakes should never have to deal with bullies or difficult people).

The school's legal team advised against giving parents the right to opt out of the course for their children. In other words, parents "have to" let their children attend this propaganda program. At this point, I get confused. How is that parents "have to" leave their children in this program? How does that happen? Are security guards going to prevent parents from going and picking up their kids? Or is it that they'll be given a failing grade for missing the course? It's the public school system, after all - it's not like the public school fails or flunks students for not showing up anymore.

A trustee of the school has said "We are not telling anyone what to think. We are letting children know that gay people exist and they deserve to be treated with respect, regardless of whether or not you believe that homosexuality is acceptable."

Is there anyone that seriously believes that such a program is designed to do anything BUT tell our children what to think? Get real. This is classic propaganda.

In first grade, students will read "Who is in a Family?" by Robert Skutch. It explores different types of families. One page states, " … Robin's family is made up of her dad, Clifford, her dad's partner, Henry, and Robin's cat, Sassy."

What the hell? Considering dad's boyfriend as part of the family is one thing, but now we're accepting cats...that's just too far.

Second grade students will read about two homosexual penguins that raise a young chick in the book "And Tango Makes Three." The two male penguins, Roy and Silo, are described as being a little bit different. The book says "They didn't spend much time with the girl penguins, and the girl penguins didn't spend much time with them. "

Going on, the book says "When the male penguins nurture an egg, it soon hatches..."We'll call her Tango," it states, "because it takes two to make a Tango." The book declares, "Tango was the very first penguin in the zoo to have two daddies."

Gay penguins. I always knew penguins were gay. Anyway, I'm wondering why we have the dumbest children in the world (no offense to those of you with dumb children). Maybe it's because they're too busy learning about gay penguins.

When you walk into Sidney high school after lunch, the halls reek of marijuana. It is a depraved, evil place (probably not more than any other high school, don't get offended, you locals!). I'm not sure at what point the school turns from being an nurturing, happy, comforting place into a sex-infused, drunken, orgy consisting of by-and-large (exceptions obviously) little barbarians. It's probably around the point of puberty I'm guessing.

As I send my five year-old daughter into the school system...and on a path towards the environment of debauchery that awaits her, I wonder "when is enough, enough?"

And I'm not talking about what's being taught in my local school. Who knows? I assume it's better than most - even if students know exactly what bar they can find their teacher in after class is over. But the environment itself, even from the earliest of grades, is a negative impact upon the morality and purity of our children. FACT.

So do we keep sending our children into that environment? Do we say that they are "salt and light" and pretend that they're making little Christian converts hand over fist or should we wake up, smell the roses, and realize that their friends ARE NOT being changed due to the Godly influence of our children, but that that our children ARE being influenced by the bad behavior from the snowflakes next to them in class.

And it's not that I'm over-sheltering my kids. I pray for my two children every evening, that they would serve Christ in better ways than me and that God will use them mightily. I pray that my precious little daughter will be a missionary to the nations. And I know very well that the world she will be issued when she is grown will be a dangerous, Christian-hating place. I pray that if she is martyr, that she'll be a darn good one. And one day, I'll kiss her goodbye, sending her to some unknown, God-forsaken place of darkness and hope for the best.

But until then, until she is ready, until she is prepared, until the armor of the Lord is strapped tightly to her, should I send her to the lions already? Should I send her into the darkness before her light has even begun to shine?

Got me.
