This article was posted on CitizenLink.org (link directly this article is found below). If you think this can’t happen at your school, just wait! Every time a parent rolls over for the sake of supposed tolerance, this agenda is moved forward. It’s coming your way!
Parents in Hayward, Calif., were shocked to learn their children were being taught to be "allies" of homosexuals, WorldNetDaily reported.
Faith Ringgold School of Art and Science reportedly did not inform parents of its pro-homosexual activities, which included "Coming Out Day," "Ally Week" and Gay and Lesbian History Month.
Pacific Justice Institute attorneys, who are advising the parents, said the school also is planning to host TransAction Gender-Bender Read-Aloud, an event where students will hear adapted tales such as Jane and the Beanstalk.
Brad Dacus, president of Pacific Justice Institute, said this demonstrates why Californians need to vote "Yes" on Proposition 8, which would define marriage as between one man and one woman.
"Do we need further proof that gay activists will target children as early as possible?" he asked. "Opponents of traditional marriage keep telling us that Prop. 8. has nothing to do with education. In reality, they want to push the gay lifestyle on kindergartners.
"This is not a scenario most Californians want replayed in their elementary schools."

This video speaks for itself. However, I would like to point out that there used to be a time when parents decided what was age appropriate for their children and what values they wanted to instill. When children become adults they have the freedom to decide for themselves what their opinions are, but in childhood and adolescents it is the parents job. Teachers are supposed to educate; history, geography, math, science, reading, writing, etc. Now it seems that teachers are allowed to and feel compelled to teach their politics to their students. I don’t know your opinions on this subject, but mine is that parents need to step up and teachers need to do their jobs. No more. No less.

Section 7 of Article 1 describes the process for passing bills. The bill must originate in either the House of Representatives or the Senate. After the terms of the bill are debated, the members vote on whether to pass the bill or not. In order to pass the house, 2/3 of the members must agree. If the bill passes in one House, it is then sent to the next where the same process takes place.
Bills to raise money will always originate in the House of Representatives. However, Senate may propose or agree to Amendments on all other bills. When the bill is approved by both the House and the Senate it must then be presented to the President. If the President approves the bill he will sign it. If he does not approve it he must return it to the house where it originated with a list of his objection. This has become known as the veto. If the President does not return the bill within 10 days, excluding Sunday, the bill will become law as if he’d signed it unless Congress is adjourned. An adjournment of Congress would prevent the President from returning the vetoed a bill.
When the House receives the vetoed bill with the list of objections, they will enter the objections in their journal and reconsider the bill. If 2/3 of the members vote to pass the bill despite the objections it is sent to the next House where it will also be reconsidered. If 2/3 of the second House agrees, the bill will become law. Whenever members vote to pass a bill, the names of the persons and the votes they cast are entered in the journal of each house.
Every order, resolution, or vote that both houses must agree on and requires the support of the law must be presented to the President before it takes effect. He will then approve or disapprove. Congress may re-pass it if he disapproves provided 2/3 of the members agree to do so.
