"One Newton Parent is Urging All Parents to be Aware of Their Schools."

If yesterday's "Gay Day" wasn't bad enough, the gay activist teachers
at Newton North are now having kids act in a lesbian play.

Many of you may have seen the following blurb in the PTO notices, and
around town about the play that drama classes at school are doing
Thursday thru Saturday nights: -Theatre Ink proudly presents: "Stop Kiss" by Diana Son. Directed by Brina Waldoks and Carmen Zilles. Dec. 11, 12 & 13, 2003 in the Little
Theatre. Tickets $5. Call 617.559.6406 for reservations.

Or you may have seen this description of it on the city's web site: "Stop Kiss" by Diana Son An intimate show that tells the story of the friendship between two women as they struggle to remain true to themselves, despite a critical act of violence against them.

But the reviews on the Internet are a lot different:

"The play focuses on two young women who meet in New York and become
friends and eventually lovers, despite the fact that both were previously
involved in heterosexual relationships."

And another: "It is the story of a friendship of two women. Callie is a savvy
traffic reporter and Sara, a school teacher, who recently moved to Seattle from
the Midwest. As their friendship evolves, these "two straight girls" in their
late twenties find themselves unexpectedly attracted to each other.
Slowly overcoming shyness and self-doubt, they kiss for the first
time in a city park. The kiss provokes a vicious attack, which puts Sara
in a coma. As this tender love story unfolds, both women assess what it
means to be truthful to oneself in choosing how to live and how to love."

So this is really about two normal girls getting into a lesbian love
affair. Then one gets attacked and hurt when they are seen kissing in
public. So it's also a psychological mind-game for the audience --
playing the "homophobia" card to push this idea further into kids' heads.

My question is: Why is Newton so obsessed with homosexuality and kids?
Why can't our kids just be left alone? Why don't the rest of us have any
rights? Why are we parents the last to know? I do hope parents attend this. It's only $5. Please let me know how you enjoyed it. This soundslike the work of ANGLE.
