See? From an actual parent that's seen it happening. Imagine what it
will be like in 10 years. Will *** educators demand equal time? IOW 1
hetero story for every *** story read in English?

You see this all boils down to "Do you feel homosexuality is an OK way
to live or not?" You can ignore it but when it broaches your children's
education, you're going to get a very different reaction from straight
parents than the typical "I don't care what you do behind closed doors".
Because what happens behind closed doors always seems to waft into
society sooner or later.

Its really not about monetary issues - not the big picture. Its about
the legitimizing of it. And that only comes from education. From the
next generation. You want to change society? Control public education.
That is what this is really about - what we will realize in a few
decades when liberals let this pass today.
