Parental rights in America are under continued attack by the left and especially by LGBT activists. The LGBT agenda is being forced on students at an alarming rate and oftentimes parents are being kept in the dark. It’s up to the students to inform their parents about what is going on at their publicly-funded schools. This is wrong on so many levels.

Recently in the Dayton, Ohio area, parents were blindsided after they found out, via their children, that a school-wide rally had been held at Van Buren Middle School in which students were encouraged to express homosexual feelings.

LifeSiteNews reports in an opinion piece by Linda Harvey, President of Mission America:

No advance parental notice was given for this event held in conjunction with homosexual/transgender National Coming Out Day. As I have mentioned in previous articles, schools are regularly observing special days and weeks as part of a coordinated “LGBT” agenda directed to America’s children.

It all happened at Van Buren Middle School in Kettering, a Dayton suburb. An 11-year-old boy reported to his mom that a special speaker addressed the students. Actor/author Maulik Pancholy related his experience believing he was “gay” back in sixth grade and now encourages students to embrace their own homosexual feelings. He has written a book called The Best At It.

Yes, that’s right. Sixth graders are now being encouraged to announce a homosexual identity.

Pancholy was in the Dayton area as part of a tour promoting the book. Since he was also a voice on the popular Disney cartoon “Phineas and Ferb,” during his speech he told the Kettering middle school students that one of the Phineas’ characters was “gay.”

So is this school officially on board with destroying innocence while encouraging pre-adolescent corruption? This administration needs to be held accountable for mentally molesting these children while betraying the trust of their families.

The mom referred to in the article began sending messages to other parents in the district alerting them of what went down at the middle school and calling on them for support against this perverse agenda.

She wrote in the message, “Sharing one’s sexuality to 11-year-olds, many who aren’t even thinking about sex, has absolutely no place in our publicly funded schools. Why did they think this was appropriate? And why did they think it was okay to teach our children without our knowledge or consent? And on top of that, use our tax money to teach our children beliefs we disagree with?”

All valid questions that the school administration needs to be held accountable for answering. This is the exact reason schools are keeping their blatant LGBT indoctrination of students on the DL. If parents knew in advance there would be request after request from parents demanding their children be excused from attending such events. Nonetheless, as of right now, children are still under their parent’s rule in America and therefore it is completely unethical and underhanded to forego seeking parental permission or, at the very least, giving parents notice prior to any events.

She goes on in her message to make some really good points on the LGBT agenda and the left in general, pointing out their obvious hypocrisy, saying, “As is well known, anyone who disagrees with this agenda is instantly labeled with hateful rhetoric and name-calling such as ‘homophobic,’ ‘bigot,’ or ‘hate group/hate speech,’ certainly not what any child wants to be called. Nor does any child want to be singled out as hateful, when they’re anything but that. (It’s not hateful or bigoted just because you believe differently.)

“I would certainly call that intimidating! So, as the school hides behind the ‘anti-bullying’ facade to deceptively promote the LGBT agenda behind parents’ backs, it would appear by definition they are the big bullies here.” Homosexuality used to come from underlying trauma from childhood such as an absent parent or sexual abuse from a trusted adult. Now feelings of homosexuality are literally being groomed in children through our public school system. No wonder the number of children experiencing gender confusion and homosexual feelings is sky-rocketing.

Schools across the country need to respect parental authority first and foremost but also the assumption that homosexuality is a widely accepted social norm needs to be dispensed with. Schools needs to go back to educating students on facts and let go of this dangerous, radical leftist indoctrination.
