"National Sexuality Education Standards" -- My First Impression

Yesterday, we became aware of something called the 'National Sexuality Education Standards' that are under consideration in Chicago.  Given that Marxists use sex as a recruiting device, we wanted to see what they were peddling to five year olds.  It isn't good.

(Author's Note: You can download the relevant PDF here; all parenthetical references are to page numbers in that PDF)

To begin, "National Sexuality Education Standards" are only a minimum, which means that other bad things can be piled on top:

The goal of the National Sexuality Education Standards: Core Content and Skills, K-12 is to provide clear, consistent [emphasis mine], and straightforward guidance on the essential minimum [ital. in original, underline mine] core content for sexuality education that is developmentally and age appropriate for students in grades K - 12 (6)

I would LOVE to know who gets to determine 'age and developmentally appropriate.'
 

Next, is an assault on local control:

Specifically, the National Sexuality Education Standards were developed to address the inconsistent implementation of sexuality education nationwide. (6)

 And the influence of Common Core:

The National Sexuality Education Standards were further informed by the work of....the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts and Mathematics, recently adopted by most states (6)

 One 'Role of Education Standards' is to:

Teach functional knowledge and essential personal and social skills that contribute directly to healthy sexuality. (8) [emphasis mine]

 How do you define 'functional' and 'essential'?!?

One 'Guiding Value and Principle' is that:

Instruction by qualified sexuality education teachers is essential for student achievement. [emphasis mine] (9)

 Who's handing out those qualifications?!?

Another 'Guiding Value and Principle' is that:

Students need opportunities to engage in cooperative and active learning strategies (9) [emphasis mine]

 Does 'cooperative and active' mean something like this?!?

The report goes on to outline the actual standards.  A lot of this stuff is written in weasel language, so you have to read between the lines.  But the stuff that's written clearly is bad enough.

Teaching five year olds to:

Identify different kinds of family structures (12)

 Teaching eight year olds to:

Define sexual orientation as the romantic attraction of an individual to someone of the same gender or a different gender. (14)

 While simultaneously promoting this trial lawyer boondoggle:

Define sexual harassment and sexual abuse. (15)

 By age 11, Children will be learning to:

Differentiate between gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation. (16)

While also:

Define[ing] emergency contraception and its use (16)

And teaching 'pregnancy options' (ie. abortion) at age 11 (16).

This is stuff is already in public schools, and it's only going to spread; forewarned is forearmed!!!

Danny Forshee Classics -- President Snow and the Antichrist

This message is much more theologically intense than I remembered.


President Snow and the Antichrist - Dr. Danny Forshee - May 6, 2012 from Great Hills Baptist Church on Vimeo.

Highlights:

• Revelation 13:1-10

• Written in A.D. 95 by the Apostle John

• The notion that Revelation is historical allegory is just plain silly; it's future prophecy.

• The last days are the time from the time of Jesus first coming to his second.

• The Antichrist will appear a savior to the lost of the world.

• Properly understanding Revelation requires a foundation in Daniel and Ezekiel.

• The Dragon is Satan.

• The Antichrist will rule the known world and be worshiped by those who are not in the book of life.

• Pastor Danny calls Dan Savage a mini-Antichrist!!!

• Jesus still wins!

The Game Dan Savage is Really Playing

I've written on Dan Savage before; I had a thought this past week regarding him that I wanted to share.

I think the "It Gets Better" campaign is a front.  It allows Dan Savage to post as some sort of defender of the oppressed.  As a result, no one will examine everything else he's doing.

This 'gay bullying' issue that's come up the past few years is totally PHONY.  In reality, homosexuals are the most coddled group in America.  When expressing a personal opinion opposing homosexuality can get you fired, then homosexuals are NOT victims of bullying.

Meanwhile, having avoided any sort of meaningful scrutiny, Dan Savage is quietly working to turn America's youth into deviants, pagans, and perverts.

The key, however, is that the It Gets Better campaign is the front that allows him to pursue his real agenda.

Book Review: Radical Son, by David Horowitz

Radical Son is the best expose of the American left I have ever read (though I have yet to read Witness).  The history of the American left has been deliberately covered-up, but David Horowitz knows the truth because David Horowitz lived it from the 1940's through the early-1980's.  The bottom line is that every generation of Marxists has known the horrific consequences of its actions in real time, and every generation has covered up their horrors in real time because the truth was an obstacle to their revolutionary objectives.

David Horowitz was born a red-diaper baby in New York City in 1939.  Horowitz's parents, while not paid agents of Moscow themselves, were nevertheless Communist Party Members who followed Moscow's party line.  Horowitz's father, for example, took a party sponsored trip to the Soviet Union in 1932 (18-24).

The first half of David Horowitz's life reads like a guided tour through the darkest aspects of twentieth century America.  Horowitz's parents were fellow travelers of the treasonous Rosenbergs.  Horowitz himself helped launch the New Left (105/6) in response to John Kennedy's War in Vietnam.  He worked extensively with the Black Panthers in the 1970's until a murder committed by Panther operatives caused Horowitz to question his allegiance to the left.

In each instance, the left knew about the crimes of its fellow travelers in real time.  1950's American leftists knew about Stalin's famines and gulags.  The 1960's antiwar left knew the North Vietnamese were genocidal thugs who were torturing American P.O.W.'s.  In the 1970's, while many didn't want to admit it, the White Left knew the Black Panthers were street criminals and not the 'Revolutionary Outlaws' of leftist imagination. In each instance, the American Left covered up the crimes of revolutionary leftists in pursuit of revolutionary objectives.

While each era in Horowitz's life is worthy of an essay on its own, his encounters with the homosexual left in the mid-1980's (after Horowitz had broken with the left but before he publicly identified himself as a conservative), are most directly relevant to today.  From page 337 to page 349, Horowitz chronicles his dealings with homosexual radicals during the mid-1980's.  At the time, there was a concerted effort to blame President Reagan for AIDS.  Horowitz smelled a rat and decided to investigate.  What Horowitz discovered is one of the most morally and physically disgusting sets of lies about which I have ever read.

Early in his investigation, Horowitz discovered:

the political aspects of the story were more significant and troubling than we had imagined....[I]t was the gay leaders themselves who suppressed the research findings, along with the fact -- now generally accepted by medical officials -- that AIDS was a sexually transmitted disease....The activists were afraid that identifying the disease with promiscuous sex and also with gay sex -- 95 percent of the cases in San Francisco were among homosexual males -- would stigmatize the 'gay lifestyle' and create a political backlash.  The political clout of the activists was powerful enough to prevent information about the sexual transmission of AIDS from being disseminated by health officials to those at risk....[A]nd that passive Anal Sex was the source of almost all transmissions. (339-340)

In order to advance their revolutionary objectives, the radical homosexual 'leadership' knowingly committed  ignorant men to involuntary martyrdom.  As one nurse Horowitz interviewed explained: "There are leaders in this community...who don't want people to know the truth.  Their attitude is that it is bad for business, bad for the gay image.  Hundreds, perhaps thousands, are going to die because of this attitude. This whole thing borders on the homicidal.  (342)"  In reality, hundreds of thousands have died.

This era remains relevant because today's homosexual 'leadership' is equally corrupt but better organized.  Just this past month, Barack Obama invited militant homosexual 'leaders' to the White House, where they continued the juvenile homosexual vendetta against President Reagan.  Dan Savage is just as big a bully as the homosexual 'leaders' in San Francisco in the mid-1980's, and Dan Savage is coming for your children.  No matter how the Dan Savage's of the world try to spin it, Homosexual activity leads directly to gross diseases and shorter life spans.  Unfortunately, the attitude of far too many homosexual can be summed up in this quote: "Every time I get the clap, I'm striking a blow for the sexual revolution. (338)"

Marxism is a Satanic ideology.  David Horowitz spent the first 40 years of his life intimately involved with Satan's minions on the American Left, and he lived to tell the story.  I believe God protected David Horowitz over the years so he could expose the truths the left deliberately covered up.  If Radical Son has a shortcoming, it's that Horowitz focuses too much on earthly politics without understanding the Spiritual Warfare described in Ephesians 6.  That shortcoming, however, is forgivable.  If you want to understand the truths the American left has covered up, from Uncle Joe's paid agents in the 1940's through the radical homosexuals of the 1980's, Radical Son is required reading.
