Should sexual identity be taught as a course in schools?

Sexual identity should not be taught in schools. It is a parent's right to be able to teach children their values and beliefs. As a Christian, I feel like that would be violating my freedom of religion. Whatever happened to the division of church and state? Because of a select few, we are no longer allowed to post the Ten Commandments in our schools, because it might offend someone else's beliefs. We can no longer pray in school, because it might offend a non-believer. In some schools, children are no longer allowed to celebrate Christmas or Easter, because it might offend someone else. No matter what anyone says, it ties into a person's personal beliefs, or religion. The topic of sexual identity is a very personal choice, and not something to be aired in a classroom. Kids are cruel. If they got even a hint that somebody might be gay, first they would text everybody they know. Then they would post it on the internet. It would be as bad as the sexting problems we have heard about on the news. Several of those kids committed suicide over the teasing and harassment. Sure, there will be a few kids that will accept it, but the bullies will not let it go. It doesn't matter what you tell them in the classroom. They will still do what they want once they leave. The Bible says in Leviticus 18:22 "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind it is an abomination." I have, however, had gay friends. If they ask my opinion, I told them the truth. A few had their feelings hurt, and I'm sorry for that. It wouldn't be right to lie about it. I am not here as their judge. That is between them and God. The Bible also says in Matthew 7:1 "Judge not lest ye be judged." We will all have to face our Maker someday and be judged for our own sins. To teach sexual identity classes in school can also cause "suspect gays" to be in more danger of hate crimes. Hate crimes in the United States went up 13% last year. About 50% of known survivors don't even call the police. There were 27 murders in 2010 of gays in the U.S. Most victims are raped or tortured, stabbed repeatedly, and mutilated. People that commit crimes against gay people often try to justify their crimes, by saying that gays are immoral. Jesus said in John 8:7 "let he who is without sin cast the first stone". Some of the people convicted for murdering gays last year were teenagers. Teaching a class about sexual identity in public schools won't solve any problems faced by gays. It will just make them worse. As a mother, I know I would love my children no matter what they did or what they became. I'm sure most people feel the same way. If a child is having a problem of any kind, and feel like they cannot talk to their parents about it, then they should be able to talk to a guidance councilor's about it in private. Pass out brochures telling kids they can go talk to the guidance councilor's about any problems they might be having in their life. But please, keep it out of our children's classrooms.

My Favorite Time of the Year

Image
I love all of the holidays, but Christmas is my favorite. It makes me sad that so many people forget that it's a celebration of the birth of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Some will argue that it isn't even His real birthday. That's true. Nobody knows when Jesus was born. Some believe it was in the spring or summer. That could be true. Many argue that our beloved Christmas traditions are of pagan origin. That's also true. The newly converted Christians didn't want to give up their colorful and festive holiday traditions. The church was wise enough to to see the problem and offer a solution. They started a new holiday close to the old, to honor the birth of Jesus, as told in the books of Matthew and Luke in the New Testament of the Bible. They gave new meanings to old symbols and customs. They named it Christs Mass. The people embraced the new holiday and many of us celebrate it still today. Many people want to reduce it back to a pagan holiday. They have ...

Trick or Treat Song

This is something I made up for E and M this year. I sing it to the tune "The Ants Go Marching". Trick-or-Treat The pumpkins go rolling one by one, Hurrah! Hurrah! The pumpkins go rolling one by one, Hurrah! Hurrah! The pumpkins go rolling one by one, The little one stops, to look for the sun, And they all go rolling, Down the street, To go trick-or-treat. The witches go flying two by two, Hurrah! Hurrah! The witches go flying two by two, Hurrah! Hurrah! The witches go flying two by two, The little one stops, She lost her shoe. And they all go flying, Down the street, To go trick-or-treat. The skeletons go rattling three by three, Hurrah! Hurrah! The skeletons go rattling three by three, Hurrah! Hurrah! The skeletons go rattling three by three, The little one stops, He lost his knee, And they all go rattling, Down the street, To go trick-or-treat. The zombies go shuffling four by four, Hurrah! Hurrah! The zombies go shuffling four by fo...

The Real Lesson From Columbine

I wanted to share the words of Darrell Scott. He is the father of Rachel Scott, one of the students killed at Columbine High School. He is also the father of Craig, a survivor who watched his friends being murdered. COLUMBINE STUDENT'S FATHER 12 YEARS LATER!! Guess our national leaders didn't expect this. On Thursday, Darrell Scott, the father of Rachel Scott, a victim of the Columbine High School shootings in Littleton, Colorado, was invited to address the House Judiciary Committee's subcommittee. What he said to our national leaders during this special session of Congress was painfully truthful. They were not prepared for what he was to say, nor was it received well. It needs to be heard by every parent, every teacher, every politician, every sociologist, every psychologist, and every so-called expert! These courageous words spoken by Darrell Scott are powerful, penetrating, and deeply personal. There is no doubt that God sent this man as a voice crying in the wilderne...
