Revolving Little Circle...Whoo Dizzy Already

Hey:
Here's another jaw-dropping story

A lawsuit in California that was filed last month by angry parents who object to a gay-friendly curriculum they say is being foisted on kindergartners could well become a test case for schools around the country.



Parents in the Alameda Unified School District were refused the right to excuse their kids from classes that would teach all kids in the district's elementary schools about gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender alternative families.


The parents say they are concerned about "indoctrination" in the schools, but administrators say the course is needed to protect against sexual discrimination — and that the lessons are protected by laws in California and 10 other states.

Those states, which stretch from Washington to Maine, will now be eyeing the court results in California in a case that warring sides say pits parents' rights against a schools' responsibilities.


The contested California curriculum includes an annual 45-minute LGBT lesson taught to kids from kindergarten through the fifth grade. The kindergartners will focus on the harms of teasing, while the fifth graders will study sexual orientation stereotypes.


The move toward the new classes began two years ago, when teachers noticed that even kindergarten students were using derogatory words about sexuality, such as "f*g."

The FOX News Reporting unit was present at a debate in the school district in May when angry parents pushed back against the controversial lessons, capturing over 10 hours of heated dispute, which saw parents shouting back and forth across the aisle.


Some parents like Carrie Brash said the curriculum is necessary to combat bigotry that was already rearing its head among even young children, who were bullying her daughter in school.
Brash said her daughter had to endure taunting chants of "Lesbian, lesbian, your mom's a lesbian," from kids in school.


But other parents said the new curriculum ignores other kids who have been targeted for abuse.


"My child has been the product of bullying because she's black," said Dion Evans, who noted that students have "never viewed a single video in the classroom" that deals with racism.

But Evans said he wasn't expecting the district to take care of what he called a parent's duties in educating his daughter, as the school is "already (too) strapped for cash to incorporate these changes."

"I know how to successfully parent, educate, and instill value and self-worth in my child," he said.{source}

Wow, just wow. I mean, if we're having lessons on homosexuality (and beyond) why aren't we having lessons on not calling other people (straight people) names. (fatty etc.) I don't 100% agree with Mr. Evans because racism isn't really that big of deal until you make it a big deal.

Ya know, something in my gut tells me she might be getting bullied for other reasons than race. She could be mean or something, dunno? I get so tired of bringing race into everything! Race, race, race! They use that word like it's a noun. "you're racist." "You're racist." We're all racist, happy? (ha, not really)

And same with the homosexual crowd, if we don't agree with their agenda well, guess what, you're a homophobe. Really? Seriously? Geez. So, if they don't agree with the Christian agenda can't we call them Christian-phobes. Oops, sorry, religion is a dirty word to them, because we don't agree with their views, whoops we're homophobes. it's a little revolving circle.

Oh, well. Interesting...I guess

His Approval Rating Dropped...Again? Gee, What a Shock.

Hey:
Here's something that probably won't surprise you, people are losing faith in Obama. Hm, I wonder why? Whatever could he be doing wrong?

A new poll says that Americans, concerned over the future of health care reform and anxious about the growing federal budget deficit, are losing faith in President Obama.
The Washington Post-ABC News survey found that less that half of Americans -- 49 percent -- say they believe the president will make the right decisions for the country. That's down from 60 percent at the 100-day mark of the Obama presidency.
The poll published Friday says Obama's overall approval is 57 percent, 12 points lower than it was at its peak in April. Fifty-three percent disapprove of the way he's handling the budget deficit and his approval on health care continues to deteriorate.
The national survey was conducted Aug. 13-17 and has a sampling error of plus or minus three percentage points {source}

Maybe it's the health care reform he's shoving through faster than I can chug a gallon of water.

Or the stimulus money he was giving out as party favors?

Or that he doesn't care what America thinks, he knows everything about everything?

Or maybe everyone's racist? You know us conservatives, we're just a bunch of hypocritical, know-it-all, closet racists. yeah, of course we are... ;-) I'm surprised ABC News hasn't piped up blaming it on race yet. Wait and see...they'll say something on the matter...of course they will.

Oh, well, I'm not gonna say I told you so. Or maybe I am. I predicted this would happen eventually...hehe

Love, Palin, and Crowder...

Distinguished Harvard Professor, Mean Police Officer, and Nice Mr. Obama! Oh my!

Hey:

Now, I mentioned in one of my earlier posts that I would try to tackle the huge mess of the Harvard Prof. and the police officer. I did my research, like I promised and here it is...

Well, as I understand it, Henry Lou Gates (the black Harvard Prof.) was, according to this abcnews blog, trying to "pry his door open" which resulted in a neighbor calling the police thinking it was a robbery.

"Cambridge police say they responded to the well-maintained two-story home after a woman reported seeing "two black males with backpacks on the porch," with one "wedging his shoulder into the door as if he was trying to force entry."
By the time police arrived, Gates was already inside. Police say he refused to come outside to speak with an officer, who told him he was investigating a report of a break-in."
"Why, because I'm a black man in America?" Asked Gates, according to a police report written by Sgt. James Crowley

Gates...initially refused to show the officer his identification, but then gave him a Harvard University ID card, according to police.
"Gates continued to yell at me, accusing me of racial bias and continued to tell me that I had not heard the last of him," the officer wrote.
Gates said he turned over his driver's license and Harvard ID — both with his photos — and repeatedly asked for the name and badge number of the officer, who refused. He said he then followed the officer as he left his house onto his front porch, where he was handcuffed in front of other officers, Gates said in a statement released by his attorney, fellow Harvard scholar Charles Ogletree, on a Web site Gates oversees, TheRoot.com
He was arrested on a disorderly conduct charge after police said he "exhibited loud and tumultuous behavior." He was released later that day on his own recognizance. An arraignment was scheduled for Aug. 26. abcnews.com>

Well, isn't that wonderful! See, this what I don't get, everyone HAS to bring race into it. Ya know, if we were all colorblind (which we should be!!!!), this sort of thing wouldn't be turned into such a humongous "scandal." Gates is all, "It's race, it's race!" Oh, really? I'm tired of hearing him whine about that "big, mean" police officer. He was doing his job, and I side 150% with Sgt. Crowley. Good for you! You and the other men are great examples of good police work. So, yea for you!
Also, it actually kinda bothers me that Gates had the nerve to say "Because I'm a black man in America." What does being black in America have to do with being arrested. I couldn't care less if you had purple and blue stripes for skin, and your eyes were made out of cotton candy. There you go with the race thing again. But, I think it's really the whole "in America" part. You know what, if you don't like America, go over to Africa or China or go see Kim Jong for a spell and see how awful America is. Same for anyone else who says America's this "land of inequality" or whatever pointy-headed comments you can come up with.


Point 2#

Obama, good ol' Obama, had to get involved. Well, I was hoping (not really, but just kind of) maybe he could look at it fairly instead of judge it by color. Nope! Instead, he calls the actions of the police officers "stupid." Oh, really? It's stupid to do their job? Well, I guess it's stupid for teachers to show up at school, and for security to show up at special events. Hey, I guess he's trying to tell us, "The economy's down the toilet, let's just not do our jobs because that's stupid." Thank you, Barack H. Obama! See, now I don't even need to go to college. Hey mom and dad, I guess we can go to Disney World now. Oh, wait, operating the rides is probably stupid.


By now I'm all ticked off, so then he holds another press conference and then I found this article.
Below............................................ (but I attached the link if you want to read the original article)

In a surprise appearance before the White House press corps, President Barack Obama said Friday he had called the officer who arrested Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr., and told him he did not mean to malign the Cambridge Police Department.
Obama’s announcement came less than three hours after leaders of several Massachusetts police unions assembled in Cambridge in a show of support for Sgt. James Crowley and called for an apology from the President for calling the arrest “stupid.”
Obama said he could have “calibrated my words differently” in referring during a press conference Wednesday evening to the events surrounding the arrest of the African-American historian by the white police officer.
Obama related that during his five-minute conversation with Crowley, he expressed that both Crowley and Gates had over-reacted when Crowley came to Gates’ house to investigate a report of a break-in.
The president denied that he should have not made his earlier comments on the incident, saying that it was the president’s job to work to improve race relations.


It's about time he apologizes! Was it really his place anyways to call someone or something "stupid?" I think not!
You notice he gets all defensive and is all, "calibrated my words differently." No, I don't think so. You said it loud a clear. Yes, of course, we elected you to improve race relations. Not because people liked your politics, or *cough* skin color. Gosh no! (Please, don't hit me for saying the truth!)


Point 3#

Then, just to make sure the three dudes were all cool with each other, he decides to invite to the White House to have beer in the Rose Garden. Golly gee, I'm so glad they're all chummy chummy with each other! It's so nice that he could take time out from the failing economy, and the health-care reform to have some Bud in the garden. Another thing, did you notice the White House folks described them as the "distinguished police officer and the police officer who arrested him?" the description thingy was found here

They've been trying to mark this as a "learning experience" and whatnot. But to me, it just seems like it's Obama the Shepherd trying to bring the two herds together. Plus, how is this a learning experience? What are we learning? The big mean white guys are out to get the small, meek African-Americans? (wouldn't want to offend anyone with any other terms, would we now?) Yeah, that's great. Can't wait to see this story in the social studies (never history, of course. where did history go?) textbooks...


Well, I wonder how much I've offended people. Hmm, I'm probably pretty good at that.
Wait, before you go...
I have to include the picture though...
I hate to see my guy Pooh Bear next to Obama. But the two do look a lot alike. AAAHHHH!

Love, Palin, and Crowder...
