Children's story on homosexuality repeats as most 'challenged!'

It seems that the older I get the more conservative and set in my ways I get.

Over the years I have seen enough bullshit and just plain idiocy that I have less and less patience with fringe groups, special interest groups and all sorts of other wacko's that are promoting a minority viewpoint on whatever turns their crank!

With that in mind let me repeat an article here by the Associated Press that not only makes a good point but is looking more and more sensible as time goes on!

NEW YORK -- A children's story about a family of penguins with two fathers once again tops the list of library books the American public objects to the most.

And Tango Makes Three, released in 2005 and co-written by Justin Richardson and Peter Parnell, was the most "challenged" book in U.S. public schools and libraries for the second straight year, according to the American Library Association.

"The complaints are that young children will believe that homosexuality is a lifestyle that is not only acceptable, but normal. The people complaining, of course, don't agree with that," Judith Krug, director of the ALA's Office for Intellectual Freedom, told AP yesterday.

The ALA defines a "challenge" as a "formal, written complaint filed with a library or school requesting that materials be removed because of content or appropriateness."

Other books on the ALA's top 10 list include Maya Angelou's memoir I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, in which the author writes of being raped as a young girl; Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, long attacked for alleged racism; and Philip Pullman's The Golden Compass, an anti-religious work in which a former nun says: "The Christian religion is a very powerful and convincing mistake."

Pullman's novel, released in 1996, received new attention last year because of the film version starring Nicole Kidman.

The one I object to most is the agenda of the homosexual community promoting their lifestyle as not only acceptable, but even preferable.

The gay block has long fostered the lie that 10% of the community is homosexual to make themselves appear more mainstream, while in actual fact the figure is about 2%!

Couple this with the fact that the liberal North American Media actively promotes gay lifestyles and values and we have a serious erosion of morals in society.

Don't get me wrong, I have mostly liberal, left of center leanings on most issues, but there are certain times when the backlash against these special interest groups takes over and I feel compelled to say something.

They did WHAT!

Normally I am going to try and keep The Church of Allan out of social issues and just concentrate on explaining our doctrine and creed, but this issue goes so far out of line that I am going to line up behind the mainstream churches.

(You know........ the one's with members!)

As we all know, California is where everything that is loose rolls to whenever America tilts a bit.

This has been happening for years but the latest episode makes even liberal minded, seen everything and done everything Allan shake his head in disbelief!

Although the term "Mom" and "Dad" have not been banned per se, as the more radical right would have us believe, what has happened is almost as bad.

We are talking about Senate Bill 777 which states that ALL descriptions of parents and care givers have to be used to avoid discrimination! (It requires only positive portrayals of homosexual, bisexual, transgender and other alternative lifestyle choices.)

The law itself technically bans in any school texts, events, class or activities or ANY discriminatory bias against those who have chosen alternative sexual lifestyles, Meredith Turney, legislative liaison for Capitol Resource Institute, said!

What this means is there has been a gradual erosion of family values by increments.

"First, the law allowed public schools to voluntarily promote homosexuality, bisexuality, and Transsexuality.

Then, the law required public schools to accept homosexual, bisexual, and transsexual teachers as role models for impressionable children.

Now, the law has been changed to effectively require the positive portrayal of homosexuality, bisexuality, and Transsexuality to six million children in California government-controlled schools," said Randy Thomasson, chief of the Campaign for Children and Families.

Now here comes the paradox in this whole mess in this quote from Meredith.

There are no similar protections for students with traditional or conservative lifestyles and beliefs, however.

Offenders will face the wrath of the state Department of Education, up to and including lawsuits.

"SB 777 will result in reverse discrimination against students with religious and traditional family values. These students have lost their voice as the direct result of Gov. Schwarzenegger's unbelievable decision.

The terms 'mom and dad' or 'husband and wife' could promote discrimination against homosexuals if a same-sex couple is not also featured," she said.

Karen England, chief of CRI, told WND that the law is not a list of banned words, including "mom" and "dad."

But she said the requirement is that the law bans discriminatory bias and the effect will be to ban such terminology.

"Having 'mom' and 'dad' promotes a discriminatory bias. You have to either get rid of 'mom' and 'dad' or include everything when talking about parental issues," she said.

"The promoters of sexual alternative lifestyles consider that discriminatory.

Now children will be told that their sexual orientation and gender are relative, too. No longer will children raised in these schools understand that we were made male and female with different, but complementary roles.

Instead, children will be taught that sexual orientation and gender are merely a matter of personal choice," he said.

"Thus, children will be told that because there are many sexual orientations and gender identities, they simply have to reach their own conclusions about which sexual orientation and gender 'possibilities' are 'right for them.'

Along with this will come the message that you really can't tell whether you like something unless you have tried it.

The likely consequences of this for children, the institution of the family, our churches, and our culture are horrendous," he said.

I myself have said repeatedly that gender preference has no effect on me since I have straight, queer, and weird friends and even an alien or two, but what I object to is the misinformation that the gay community disseminates in order to gain greater acceptance.

The best example of this is false statistics they keep throwing out that 10% of the population is homosexual since this would make it more mainstream and acceptable than the 2 or 3% percent it really is. (Actually it's 2.5%)

NOW GET THIS......Officials with the Gay-Straight Alliance Network and the Transgender Law Center already have outlined what they believe to be nondiscriminatory treatment in the school system.

"If you want to use a restroom that matches your gender identity … you should be allowed to do so," the groups advise. "Whenever students are divided up into boys and girls, you should be allowed to join the group or participate in the program that matches your gender identity as much as possible."

Further, the groups advise, "If you change your name to one that better matches your gender identity, a school needs to use that name to refer to you."

The advocacy group also warns schools against bringing parents into any such discussion with students.

The California plan still is facing a court challenge on its constitutionality and a possible vote of the people of California if an initiative effort succeeds but I wonder when someone is going to yell "I'M MAD AS HELL AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE." (Thank you Peter.)


You realize that all this started when some asshole said it was child abuse to spank your kid!

Saturday Morning Confusion! Or, Digg THIS!

Now kids, this week I'm REALLY confused!

Your humble author has written pieces that are rather UNCOMPLIMENTARY about:

Islamic terrorists, Christian Fundamentalists, the A.C.L.U., Arab Chauvinism, Politicians, Barney, Jews, Hindu's, Barbie and Ken, Peoples Fundamental Beliefs, American Society, Canadian Society etc., George W Bush and his Administration, Beauty pageants, mental illness, missionaries, child porn, Chipmunks, those fucking Indians, alien abductions and the people who believe in them, religious values, atheists, Christmas, Church, Creationists, drunks, ethnic distinction, farting, the Flying Nun, foreigners, immigration, insurance companies, Jehovah's Witnesses, lesbians, masturbation, Michael Jackson, The Military, minorities, Muslim Culture and Multi-Culturalism, misogynists, the Post Office, Blacks, Chinese, Polaks, Waps, Krauts, Chinks and white trash, lots of stuff about Kim Jong-ill and North Korea, O.J. Simpson, Palestinians, Southern States, The Bible, cops, Women's rights, self-abuse and male pattern baldness.

In other words there is not too much that hasn't been tackled on these pages whenever something outrages my sensibilities. After all this is a crazy world we live in and somebody has to challenge the nuts once in a while.

The purpose behind this is that out of all the people and groups that have been "dissed" in the last year on these pages, not one of them has ever seriously complained except for one!!!!

I wrote a piece on gays and pedophiles a few days ago (click here) and submitted it to a few other publications including DIGG.COM.

Now in all fairness I must admit that the title was a bit HARSH, (Hang the Bastards) but I have since changed this and a few comments in the article itself.

But, the point is, that out of all the stories I have written in the last year this is the only one that has caused outrage amongst a group or organization.

There have been no threats from terrorists, no nasty letters from Fundamentalist, (except of course a few hints that I'm going to HELL) no disclaimers or denials from politicians or The Military Industrial Complex and no arguments from Aliens trying to explain why they abduct people.

No, none of this happened boys and girls. The only group that raised a stink is either the gay community or the pedophiles I wrote about.

For my pains in mentioning that gays have a disproportionate influence on the media and the fashion industry and that pedophiles are complaining about being unfairly victimized, (as opposed to their victims) there was a torrent of backlash to DIGG.VOM about my article..... to the point where I have been temporarily banned from submitting anything else.

That the "Politically Correct" and special interest groups can have this much influence in a society that espouses free speech is a crime and that DIGG.COM caved in to them is even worse.

Remember Bunky, this is not a University classroom or left leaning debate group.

This is the real world and if you don't like something........ TOUGH! After all, the motto here isn't "We piss off everybody at one time or another" for nothing!

Your "Pissed" scribe;
Allan W Janssen

P.S. Write to Digg and complain.... remember, just because FREE SPEECH is free, doesn't mean it's easy!
