African-American teacher faces three-year suspension for calling homosexuality a sin

Image
A high school teacher was suspended for three years for sharing her views of homosexuality on a personal Facebook page. Jenye “Viki” Knox served Union High School since 2000 as a teacher and faculty adviser for the students’ Bible study group . She began teaching handicapped students 28 years ago. An ordained minister , Knox communicated her opinion openly on social media. In 2011, she criticized an LGBTQIA + promotion featured in the school’s display glass. “Why parade your unnatural immoral behaviors before the rest of us?” Knox  posted . "Homosexuality is a perverted spirit ... I know sin and it breeds like cancer,” Knox, 56,  commented . Sodomy is “unnatural immoral behavior”  that is  “against the Nature and Character of God.” Those comments got Knox in hot water with the school district .   "We do not have to accept anything, anyone, or any behavior or any choices!” she  expressed  in all-caps to emphasize her constitutional freedoms. “I do not have t

School stops enSchool stops enforcing Obama’s trans bathroom policy after parents pulled kids out

A Michigan school district has stopped the practice of allowing members of one biological sex to use the restrooms of the opposite sex after parents pulled their two sons out of elementary school over the issue. Last week, Matt Stewart's nine-year-old son told him, "There was   a girl in the boys’ bathroom " with him and other male elementary kids.  When Stewart called the school, the principal told him the Obama administration's federal guidance on transgender students forced them to allow transgender students in the bathrooms, locker rooms, and showers of their chosen gender, and not their biological sex. Violating the policy means losing federal funding. Stewart talked it over with his wife, and they decided to take their sons out of Southwest Elementary School in Howell, Michigan . Now, after publicly complaining that parents should have been consulted, Stewart says, "over the last few days they have actually changed their positions.”  Howell

Obama, transgender toilet and homosexual agenda

Pro-family leaders reacted with stunned disbelief this week to the news of a settlement in the case of a Southern California girl whose parents filed a federal civil rights complaint against their local school district after their daughter was not allowed to sleep in a hotel room full of boys during field trips, despite her belief that she is a boy trapped in a girl's body. After two years of investigation by the Obama administration's Department of Justice, the Arcadia Unified School District   agreed to a settlement  in which they admit no wrongdoing, but will allow the teenage girl, who is about to enter ninth grade, to use the facilities of her preferred sex rather than her biological one, as well as to participate in activities intended for boys only. Additionally, they will provide sensitivity training for their staff and faculty and add “gender identity” to the definition of “gender discrimination” in the district’s anti-discrimination policies. That means from

ACLU sues to force elementary libraries to display lesbian advocacy book

FARMINGTON, UT , November 15, 2012, ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – The ACLU has  filed a lawsuit  to force a Utah school district to keep a lesbian advocacy book on elementary school library shelves. The ACLU believes kindergarten-age children deserve access to this book. In the Davis School District in Utah, children as young as kindergarten age can check out a homosexual propaganda book called  In My Mothers’ House , about three adopted kids and their lesbian “mothers,” if their parents sign a permission slip. The book was removed from shelves after another Windridge mother complained to school officials when her kindergartner brought it home. It is presently kept behind the counter. This minor obstacle motivated the ACLU to seeking to force the school district to put the book back on its library shelves, making it available to all children without restriction. The only person participating in the “class action” lawsuit is Tina Weber, whose children are enrolled at Windri

Christian organizations’ ‘Yardstick’ evaluates anti-bullying policies for pro-LGBT bias

SCOTTSDALE, Arizona , August 31, 2012, ( LifeSiteNews.com ) - Two leading U.S. Christian advocacy groups have joined forces to create a guideline to assure school anti-bullying policies protect all students from bullying and are not being used simply to advance the homosexual agenda . Alliance Defending Freedom ( ADF ), in a joint effort with Focus on the Family , has announced the “Anti-Bullying Policy Yardstick,”  which allows public schools and the general public to evaluate thelegal aspects of a school’s anti-bullying rules. “All students deserve to be protected from bullying, not just ones favored by certain political activist groups,” said Alliance Defending Freedom Legal Counsel Jeremy Tedesco. “And all schools need help to ensure that their policies comport with their students’ First Amendment freedoms and other legal protections. This tool is designed to provide that help.” The Yardstick outlines the good and bad approaches to the top 10 most common components of sc

Illinois school district ejects homosexual activist curriculum

ERIE, ILLINOIS, June 25, 2012, ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – An Illinois school district has bucked the national homosexual lobby by voting to remove books that promote same-sex “marriage” or mainstream alternate lifestyles. After parents complained about The Family Book, which the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) recommends “to naturalize and celebrate family diversity,” the Erie Community Unit School District 1 voted to remove all GLSEN curriculum from the district. The vote was 5-2. Ann Schipper, the mother of three children in the system, said the curriculum “completely wipes away what my kids have learned at church and at home, and it creates confusion in them.” GLSEN’s “Ready, Set, Respect!” curriculum, aimed at elementary school students as young as kindergarten, intentionally hopes to alter young children’s definition of family and sexual identity. Its toolkit states: “The elementary school years offer a wonderful and important opportunity to instill an

Obama education secretary pushes gay groups in public schools

Image via Wikipedia The Obama administration ’s head of education has encouraged all U.S. school districts to host student groups that affirm homosexuality . In a letter to educators June 14 picked up by  CNSNews.com , Education Secretary Arne Duncan said that “gay-straight alliance” ( GSA ) groups “can play an important role in promoting safer schools and creating more welcoming learning environments.” The letter, issued from the department’s Office of Civil Rights , emphasized that the Equal Access Act was “rooted in principles of equal treatment and freedom of expression” and would therefore protect secondary schools that sanctioned homosexual groups.   http://www2.ed.gov/policy/elsec/guid/secletter/110607.html “I encourage every school district to make sure that its administrators, faculty members, staff, students, and parents are familiar with these principles in order to protect the rights of all students — regardless of religion, political or philosophical views, sexual
