Thank you so much for being a light in this world! I really enjoy your videos and they are a great challenge to me. May God bless and keep you and your children!
I agree with you 100%! When I try to explain to my family why I homeschool I always stress that as soon as I dropped off my children at school, they administration treated me like these were not my babies. I gave birth to them, I feed them, I nuture them. Having to explain why I may be picking them up early, why I didn't want to them to eat a certain diet. That was not their business. I further agree with your comment about the administration treating parents like their ignorant.
I agree BrokeBack Moutain is too much for any child, but I think any love story straight, or gay that shows sex is too much. I am a 48 yr old firefighter and served in the AF and I have raised my Adopted Daughter who is fully blind, and I am a gay man. I do not hink Homosexuality has any thing to do with this .
The sub teacher had no right to show those children a movie that they could not get in to see at the theater. What subject was she teaching? Why were they seeing a movie in the first place instead of learning something? Sounds like the sub needs to go back to school.
I couldn't agree more with the statement about kids being made wards of the state in government schools. If they would care so much about teaching academics rather than social engineering, things might get better.
You are so very clear on things! Thanks for voicing this and being a speaker for parental rights. People in the US have forgotten that their rights end where other's rights begin, and no one, but no one should usurp parental rights.
another reason to keep homeschooling! unfortunately, it's a legal precedent (California?) that what is "taught" in public schools - is not up to parent approval.
watching this type of film- really, it is the choice of the parent to decide whether or not they will.
I totally agree that a teacher (especially a substitute teacher who knows nothing of the children she will be watching for a day) has no right to show a R-rated movie to 8th graders. That child's parents have all the right to be upset about this. Brokeback Mountain is a very difficult movie to watch, not because of graphic content but because of the emotions the viewer experiences throughout the film. Although it is a powerful and beautiful movie, it is definitely not a film for children.
1.) I'm not sure why Brokeback Mountain was rated 'R'. But, it was certainly a difficult movie, since a gay character was savagely killed, and there were some very emotional scenes. (Is that what caused the psychological distress to 8th-grader?) 2.) It sounds like the substitute teacher needs to apologize to the family for making an inappropriate decision, and disciplined. 3.) Half-a-million in damages. Ha.
Congratulations for your excellent analysis and opinion. The world needs more people like you.

I agree with you 100%.... I don't think kids should be exposed to any kind of sexuality at a young age.

Mmmmm my kids are 12, and 10, and neither they nor us are interested in seeing that movie. We prefer comedy and cartoons.
My kids are very aware of the movie however, and the fact that it exists does not bother them. It is just not our genre.
