Homosexual Youth and Suicide -- The Politics of Deceit, part 4
'Zealots' and 'Extremists' or The Intolerance of the Left
As we have seen, right here in our own Montgomery County, the 'politics of deceit' mandates that people who speak up about the bias of the left (or the bias of the new curriculum or the bias of the CAC) must be silenced. Their most effective weapon is to brand people 'homophobes', ' zealots', 'religious extremists' and the like. We have seen this name calling happen already on PTA list servs, newsletters and on certain websites and blogs where 'supporters' of the new curriculum try to close down any chance for a rational dialogue in this way.
While their claims of 'religious extremist' and arguments about 'hate' and 'intolerance' are flat out lies, they are effective in that they intimidate school officials, PTA presidents, Board of Education members, local politicians, some religious and other community leaders from speaking up and standing up for what they believe and for what is right for our children.
This issue, combined with the verbally and visually graphic condom video, demands that people become informed and speak out.
The members of the CRC know that this is the right thing to do. We are standing up and speaking out against the intolerance of the left and the blindness of those who would cede to the public school system the total responsibility for the sexual and moral education of our children.
It is time for all concerned parents and tax paying citizens of Montgomery County to stand up and take a stand for the safety of all children. Will you join us?
