A Renew America article from 2006 tells the story of a Massachusetts parent who fought against the public school's refusal to follow state law (Parental Notification Law (M.G.L. Ch. 71, Sec. 32A). Why did he have to go to court in order to force the school to follow state law? The school refused to notify him when his 6 year old's class would be addressing sexuality topics. Imagine, the parent having to force the school to follow the law. Even more strange, but not unexpected, the ACLU fought against him. They fought to protect the rights of teachers to teach about sex and homosexuality (the book "King and King" and other such occurences).
This is the agenda which we must stand against. Occasionally, David's win against Goliath's, but more often these battles require an army of determined parents working in unity. The more we work together, the more probable our victory and the deeper our gain into the enemy's territory. We need your help in the mundane (i.e. forwarding these newsletters and sharing the information with others) and the more sacrificial ways (volunteering as speakers or hosting viewings of "The Child"). Most importantly, we need your constant prayers for all our children's futures.
You talk as if you are the Davids but for the gays you oppressed, imprisoned, tortured, executed for centuries you must be the Philistines, the Goliaths. What makes your position any different to those who railed when segregation was banned, for whom that "way of life" (oppressing black folk) was their 'natural order')? Such people did not want their children to go to school to be taught that black people had rights. You talk of the enemy's territory - such sentiment is dangerous and divisive and will lead to more pain, injury and, yes, death.
ReplyDeleteDear Anonymous,
ReplyDeleteI am saddened by your approach to this issue, but not surprised. I pray that God would soften the hardness of your heart and replace the deceptive philosophy that controls your thinking.
Beyond my prayers, I want to point out tha your rhetoric is angry, just what you accuse me of being. Then, you incorrectly connect civil rights with gay rights. Finally, you end with what seems like a threat. While I pray for your repentence and restoration, let me say this as well. I pray that if you plan evil against me or anyone carrying my views, that God will judge who is the David and who is the Goliath. May God take down the Goliath with His very word.
Sincerely,
Eric Potter MD
