  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

On Saturday, parental rights group Moms for Liberty posted pictures of a package they received in the mail which contained letters that students from a Seattle Middle school allegedly made in class, claiming that the organization was “bullying” LGBTQ youth.
I think teachers and students need to focus on English and math.

Schools are teaching children to exercise their First Amendment rights?
The horrors!

Forced? Where is that in the article?


A letter was in the enclosed packaging from Ann Christianson, a social studies teacher and coordinator of the Gay-Straight Alliance at Jane Addams Middle School in Seattle.

If this was something that came out of student activities within GSA, then I don't see any problem (or forcing).

If this was something done as an in-class assignment (with only one theme) then there would likely be a problem.

The kids tests scores keep going down and down, and taxpayer money is being used for political indoctrination. It's illegal.

This should be a wake up call for fringe radical groups like this one: your views are simply not wanted.

That message has been given to conservatives for the last few years and now to Jews as well.

Is there any proof, that this middle school scores are going down? BTW, making sure kids learn to be good to LGBT people. Is a good thing.

Its anti-First Amendment, anti-queer stance make that an arguable point.

Wholesome?
What is the “Liberty” that they fight for?
Isn’t it “the Liberty” to continue to hate the people we were used to alllowed to hate becuase we’ve always done so, so why CHANGE THAT?

Looks more like indoctrinating, politicizing and weaponizing children.
Freedom of speech is a wide boulevard and it is permitted that both sides get a say.
MFL apparently doesn't like that.
Boo-hoo

MFL hardly stands alone in opposing the ever growing LGBTQetc+ curriculum in schools. And those who approve of it, wouldn't be defending the public school system having kids write cards that said things like "keep the LGBTQ agenda out of our school". So it's not a both sides two way street defence of freedom of speech. That was clearly demonstrated in the incident of a 12 year old student who was forbidden to wear a shirt that said "there are two genders".

An unpopular group is mad that they’re unpopular?
It’s high school all over again!
