however they wish. However, there comes a point, where certain parental action, or negligence leads to a society where people don't know how to use birth control

Whether they should or shouldn't have boycotted Glenn Beck is beside the point. The fact is they did boycott. Liberals always believe that their thing is better than the conservatives thing.

So its totalitarianism to make people not kill each other for the better of the society? This is the same thing, its just linked to a belief. We don't have to teach anything except, how to use birth control, and what diseases are out there. To inform people, not to control them. Its not about forcing anyone to do anything, except to know the facts. I see no problem in that.
People who doubt God and the Bible, also generally reject absolute values in favor of situation ethics. A favorite method used to influence students away from absolute values is "Values Clarification," sometimes called "Decision Making," "Values Education," "Moral Education," or "Critical Thinking." Sometimes it is not called anything; it is just used. To people not familiar with the technique, it may seem confusing and perhaps harmless. But serious consideration gives understanding of the method and its consequences.

Where does the kill thing come into this? You are out of line on this. We have ordinary laws dealing with murder and that is as it should be. Teaching children that gay is good is all about engineering social and sexual mores. It is part of the Values Clarification going on in schools now for decades. I am sorry that people who are not informed about these things cannot distinguish between ordinary state laws and state indoctrination.

It seems the argument you wished to make is that teaching kids that gay is good is the same thing as teaching kids that murdering is bad andthat both cases are appropriate for grade school kids. Is that the point you wanted to make?
I guess where I am coming from this, is I get that parents want the right to teach and raise their kids however they wish. However, there comes a point, where certain parental action, or negligence leads to a society where people don't know how to use
To go from one belief, to another, is extremely difficult, and admitting that you made mistakes stunned me.

If Ellen starts promoting.... lets say, she begins to impede on the parental rights by promoting classes that most parents disagree with.... well, then I'd have to step back and take a longer look at things.
BUT... reality is... she has done nothing wrong and NOM's was promoting a witch hunt
No wonder she called them "haters"...

Do you want the educational system to treat parents like NOM's treated Ellen?
NOM's is trying to force someone (JC Penny) to do what they think is best.... you don't like that either, I don't blame you.
Please try to put parents rights on the same level as you put gay rights.
Please try to see the education system as NOM's... forceful and overreaching.
Then try to see Ellen's conundrum is similar to the parents conundrum.

Good luck with life? Alright if that is how you choose to end a discussion that is your right. What you are trying to do is beat me over the head to believe that it is necessary for the State to teach sexuality to kids. And that is what you think so fine, but if I have not understood your position, then go ahead and clarify it.edit on 15-2-2012 by ThirdEyeofHorus because: (no reason given)
The only thing I am worried about are the facts, which can be distorted or misread by family, and friends. But this is only my opinion

You're opinion is a seriously important concern and we all should be just as concerned.
I'm just throwing this out there and haven't thoroughly thought about it but ... maybe it would be a good idea if the local health department handed out a packet of information, to include a CD and some true/false questions, ect.... for the middle school ages and also the high school age children but the catch is this.... the packets are given to the parents so they can look it over and see for themselves if it's appropriate information for their children.
Maybe the packets could be given out during inoculations?

Yes. Ellen is gay.
That is the one and only reason.
