Trampling
on parents' rights:
everyday life in Massachusetts

Parents
across the Commonwealth of Massachusetts are demanding protection.
Protection from whom? From their governor, their public schools
and the "progressive" agenda of radical political groups!
What follows is just the tip of an iceberg:
In Brookline, a transsexual adult came into a first-grade class
and described to the children how sex changes take place. Parents
had not been notified and had to counsel their frightened, confused
children.
In many high schools across Massachusetts, entire days have been
devoted to "Gay/Lesbian and Transgender" programs. Academic
classes are cancelled and students are led to the activities,
including panels, speakers, etc.
In Natick, high school students in the "gay-straight alliance"
club were shown an R-rated movie about a graphic "love story"
between two boys.
In Newton, school officials announced in the local newspapers
that masturbation would be covered in the required courses for
ninth graders.
At a required school
assembly in Chelmsford, an instructor used four-letter words to
describe the joys of oral and anal sex. Children participated
in licking condoms.
A 14-year-old girl came home from Beverly High School and told
her father that he was a "homophobe".
She had just returned from "Homophobia Week"
sessions at the school.
In schools across the state, students were told to answer surveys
on their use of drugs and about personal feelings on suicide,
death, homosexual activity and similar subjects.
The wording was very intrusive.
Parents were outraged when they found out.
In several towns, ninth grade girls in the health classes were
assigned to go to a drug store, buy condoms, and practice putting
them on a banana.
At Lexington High School, a parent discovered that her thirteen-year-olds
could borrow a book (bought with state health funds) telling how
gay men at the opera can socialize with "the backs of their
trousers discreetly parted so they could experience a little extra
pleasure while viewing the spectacle on stage."
In Newton, a high-school principal told a group of parents that
they may not remove their children from the condom distribution
program because "it is too important."
At Silver Lake High School, the ninth-grade health text teaches:
"Testing your ability to function sexually and to give pleasure
to another person may be less threatening in the early teens with
people of your own sex." Also, "You may come to the
conclusion that growing-up means rejecting the values of your
parents." Students
were told to keep the book in their lockers and not take it home.
In Ashland, children were assigned to play "gays" in
a school skit. One
boy's line was, "It's natural to be attracted to the same
sex." Two girls were told to hold hands and pretend they
were lesbians. Parents were not informed.
In Manomet, an eight-grade health class was given material which
one boy said was against his parents' beliefs. He was told by
the instructor, "If you have any trouble with your parents,
tell me and I'll handle them."
In Nutting Lake, "counselors" conducted a group session
where a girl was asked to share the details about her parents'
divorce and her father's affair with the class. The sessions were
to be kept confidential from parents.
