The Power of Work
After the holiday festivities, it can be daunting to buckle down to the work facing us in the New Year. A friend confessed to me this morning, “It’s the middle of January and I still can’t face the big job of putting my Christmas decorations away.” Another friend...
What is Freedom of Religion?
Diane Robertson As gay marriage and non-discrimination ordinances which include sexual orientation and gender identity become legalized throughout the world, an atomic bomb of sorts is spreading its way through the legal system. Where ever gay marriage is legal, the...
Choosing What Will Fill Our Day
There is a story that is told of an Apache grandfather who was teaching his grandchildren about life. He said to them, “A fight is going on inside me; it is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One wolf represents fear, anger, envy, sorrow, regret,...

Child Exploitation and Abuse in My Neighborhood?
Today’s news reported a shocking story of a three-year-old toddler being coerced into using terrible language and making obscene gestures simply for the entertainment of the adults in the room. A video of the incident was the punch that forced viewers to acknowledge that such child abuse could and would actually take place.
I recognize that this is an isolated case. I hope it’s an isolated case. Nevertheless, I can’t get the little boy’s image out of my mind, and I wonder if someone will step in to undo the wrong inflicted on one so young and innocent of fault.
It’s a tragedy when any person preys on children to abuse verbally, physically, sexually or emotionally. It speaks amorally of any society where child abuse and exploitation is significantly widespread. When there aren’t enough Child Protective Service caseworkers to protect the children who are being neglected or injured by parents or caregivers, I would consider the abuse to be at uncontrollable levels.
Even more alarming…what does it say about a society where men and women, specifically placed in positions of power and influence, exploit the most vulnerable.? And what does it say about a society who is so distracted by whatever the distraction, that they aren’t aware of the exploitation?
With Kevin Jennings in control of our children/grandchildren’s education do you think our full attention should be centered on what is being promoted in our schools?
Knowing full well Mr. Jennings’ history as a member of NAMBLA, (NAMBLA stands for North American Man Boy Love Association) President Obama appointed him to be the “Safe School Czar.” One of NAMBLA’s well-documented goals is to repeal the age of sexual consent laws because they believe sex between men and boys is beneficial.
Do we think he may have an agenda? And with his position as our country’s “safe school czar” (the title is laughable,) do you think the agenda is moving forward?
What Jennings is doing NOW in Washington DC:
• “Safe Schools” czar Kevin Jennings to get $410 million in Obama’s 2011 federal budget. To push homosexual and transgender programs in America’s schools!
• Kevin Jennings helps introduce bill in Congress to require normalization of homosexuality, transgenderism, cross-dressing, etc., in America’s public schools! HB 2510: Every parent’s worst nightmare coming true.
Does such an agenda seem incredulous? Ask the parents in a public school in Montana who were alarmed to discover that homosexuality was actually being introduced to their first grade children. This homosexual curriculum then “progresses” through each grade level with fifth graders being taught the detailed descriptions of explicit sexual positions, anal and oral sex and explanations of benefits of swallowing certain bodily fluids. Does this strike horror to your heart?
What do we do? What should you do?
Get involved! Shaking our heads in disbelief will accomplish nothing. Shaking our fists in anger will accomplish little.
Educate yourselves. Do your homework. Be aware of what is being taught in your children’s/grandchildren’s classroom. Be aware of what programs are being presented to your Jr. Sr. High students after school. And when you are informed, inform your friends and neighbors and hope that they will be just as concerned as you are. We need a ground swell to stop this exploitation.
As long as Kevin Jennings holds the position that he does, and as long as we have a president who endorses Mr. Jennings agenda, we don’t have the luxury to be distracted. The most vulnerable are being targeted. This “free-thinking,” “all-inclusive,” “tolerant” society we live in is going to irreparably destroy our children. Get involved to stop the madness taking place in schools near you.
IT IS SO PLAINLY EVIDENT THAT BOTH THE GREAT GOOD AND THE TERRIBLE EVIL FOUND IN THE WORLD TODAY ARE THE SWEET AND THE BITTER FRUITS OF THE REARING OF YESTERDAY’S CHILDREN. AS WE TRAIN A NEW GENERATION, SO WILL THE WORLD BE IN A FEW YEARS. IF WE ARE WORRIED ABOUT THE FUTURE THEN WE MUST LOOK TODAY AT THE UPBRINGING OF CHILDREN…THE FAMILY DESERVES— NO, IT DEMANDS—OUR FOCUS AND ATTENTION…”Gordan B. Hinckley
