Suppose your kid’s Kindergarten teacher likes to hunt. Would it be acceptable for that teacher to teach your kid how to gut a deer? Maybe read from a book called, “Guns Can Feed Your Family.” Perhaps the class would take a field trip to the woods to check the teacher’s traps. Would it be alright if the teacher informed your kid that, “It feels good to wear clothes made from animal skins?”

When you showed up at school board meetings to complain, I would be on your side. Teachers should NOT be allowed to preach the gospel of “Guns and Game” to your kids; whether you approve of hunting or not. And I’m an advocate of free speech!

A fair question to ask the school board is: “Why do my kids have to learn about hunting when we are a family of vegetarians?”

For the record, it’s still legal to say the word, “Gay” in the State of Florida. The new legislation (H.B. 1557) says:

“Classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties on sexual orientation or gender identity may not occur in kindergarten through third grade or in a manner that is not age appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards.”

If you’re an opponent of this bill, I’d like to ask you a question. “Why should grade school teachers be allowed to instruct children about sexual orientation or gender identity?”

“John, you jerk! Your hateful intolerance is disgusting!”

Asking a question is not an act of hate. Shouting at me for asking a question is certainly intolerant. Refusing to answer the question is cowardice. The same objection you have to teaching Kindergartners how to hunt can be raised against teaching them how to put on a condom.

If you’re going to cheer when the Ten Commandments are removed from the wall, you’re a hypocrite when you support putting a pride flag on that same wall. I won’t let you preach your religion of sex while claiming ‘separation of church and state’ prevents me from preaching the gospel. I can’t stop you from using the double-standard but I’m letting you know I see it.

Parents, I’ve got a question for you too. “Do you trust that teachers will follow a law they believe to be morally incorrect?” Your answer to that question should strongly influence your decision about how your children will be educated.

“Things that cause people to sin are bound to come, but woe to that person through whom they come. It would be better for him to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around his neck than for him to cause one of these little ones to sin.” (Luke 17:1)
