Using that which is funded by the U.S. government for
activism work is a misuse of our tax dollars that also
implements our government into the work. It gives
credence to the activism by its implication that the activism
work is government supported, which could cause people to
trust the activism simply on those
grounds. First Let Me Fill You In
Montgomery County School Board in Maryland has passed a
health curriculum that is designed to teach students that
homosexuals are born homosexual. The curriculum comes complete
with a how-to video on condom use. The superintendent of
schools in the district is Jerry
Weast. PFOX and CRC are
organizations that are against the
curriculum. PFOX raised the issue of
harassment towards ex-homosexuals in a press release
statement. PFOX and CRC appear to be trying to
get the state superintendent, Nancy Grasmick, to rule in their
favor in an up-coming July decision: See
here I was especially touched by one man's testimony before
the Montgomery County, Maryland School
Board. The man, Peter Sprigg, who has represented
PFOX on the Citizens Advisory Committee on Family Life and
Human Development in the district, said, "...this curriculum
is harmful because it fails to tell the students that specific
sexual acts can be far more harmful to them than other sexual
acts. And this curriculum should be changed, because it fails
to tell students that some individuals experience a change in
sexual orientation in the course of their lives." You can see
Peter Sprigg's full testimony here. TeachTheFactsorg is an organization that is
registered with the IRS as a 501(c) 3, tax ID #20-3057821,
which means it is registered as a tax-exempt
organization. It's website is
TeachTheFacts.org. It is in favor of the curriculum.
The site is devoted to the teaching of
homosexuality.
Condoms break. No maker of a condom can guarantee that the
condom will not break.
The
FDA
has the following to say about condom use in general:
"Finally, beware of drugs and alcohol! They can affect your
judgment, so you may forget to use a condom. They may even
affect your ability to use a condom properly." The FDA has this to say about anal use of condoms: "'Condoms
provide some protection, but anal intercourse is simply too
dangerous to practice' Condoms may be more likely to break
during anal intercourse than during other types of sex because
of the greater amount of friction and other stresses involved.
Even if the condom doesn't break, anal intercourse is very
risky because it can cause tissue in the rectum to tear and
bleed. These tears allow disease germs to pass more easily
from one partner to the
other." To prescribe medical care to children in schools is
wrong to begin with, much less medical advice that is known to
be unsound. A lawsuit brought about by a student
who suffers damages due to a broken condom, used for that
which it is not meant to be used for and on the advice of
a school could result in a lawsuit against the
state, the school district, the superintendent of schools, the
board, and the writers of the curriculum. If a school
approved curriculum condones homosexual behavior in
one breath and tells how to use condoms in the next, the
school better be ready for teens to use condoms for homosexual
behavior. And the school had better be ready for the legal
fall-out of recommending that which the FDA has strong words
against. What
will they do next, teach children how to use clean needles to
shoot up after telling them that their drug addiction is a
genetic predisposition? I do not see how the teaching of
homosexuality to students is not seen as endangering the
welfare of a minor. Maybe it would be, if the right people
would realize it. (What are students at risk for by the
promotion of homosexual sex? See this article --by Dr. John
Diggs.)
Okay,
Now, The Government Employee In This, Jim
Kennedy When Jim
Kennedy emailed me, I believed he was from the Montgomery
Maryland Schools because he had copied (cc) me on a response
email over the issue with the district. After the email
exchange I went to his website, listed in the first email.
Later, I noticed his first email was on a dot-gov account.
As of 06/20/07 the official contact information
for TeachTheFacts.org lists James Kennedy as the
registrant, administrator, and tech. The address used for
the contact info is the address of the Postal Square Building
in DC, where he is employed in a branch of the US
Labor Board as a mathematic statistician (a
supervisor) with the Bureau of Labor Statistics. And the
phone number used is his government
office phone number. Click here to see a screen-shot picture of the data at his
registrar on 06/20/07. After receiving information of the PFOX press
release in Montgomery stating that the school board passed the
curriculum, Guy Adams of
ValuesUSA wrote to the district. His email
was as follows: Dear Montgomery
County School Officials, Mr. Adams received the
following response from the school GSA (Gay Straight
Alliance) co-sponsor, Derrick K. Ryan:
Dear Mr. Adams: Later I received two emails from the Gay Straight
Alliance (GSA) co-sp. One of the emails addressed
people about Mr. Adams's email. Then I received a
response email from Jim Kennedy, addressing the GSA co-sp. It
was this email from Jim Kennedy that was on a US government
email account. It is as follows: --Note: I
include his email header so that the bls.gov email
address shows. Please also note the nature of the
email and the website address under his
name. I decided to respond to Jim Kennedy's email, not
noticing the government email account and under the belief
that he worked for the school district. My
email said, Re: Your email to
Ryan that you sent me, stating: " PFOX had a press release
that facetiously said that MCPS had found the "gay gene," and
included a couple of District email addresses, and MCPS has
been getting annoying email from all over the world about it.
The best strategy for these kinds of people -- the only
strategy, really -- is to ignore them." (The press release turned out to be
correct.) Jim Kennedy responded roughly an hour
later with the following: --Note: Again, I am including his
header. He changed email addresses, but did copy
(cc) his government address. Here are the three email
contents that followed and rapped up this email
exchange: Jim, ____________________________________________________ Debra ____________________________________________________ Jim, After The
Email Exchange My curiosity of
this person whose emails contradicted and had much
distortion
caused me to seek out answers. That's when I learned who
Jim Kennedy is. I also learned more about Derrick Ryan, that
he is far from "poor
Ryan." ____________________________________________________ The contact information
for TeachTheFacts.org was changed today: Click
Here I had contacted the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of
Labor Statistics. In so many words, I was told this
behavior was not allowed. Privacy rules in the agency
prevent them from answering directly if any actions would
be taken. Was he told to remove the information and to
stop conducting activism work from a government office?
Has the running of his activism work from a
government office given him power and influence in his 'cause'
that he otherwise would not have had? This is
our U.S. Federal Government. And any misuse of
U.S. tax dollars is our business, all of our business,
all across America; and should be addressed. The following are three pictures from
TeachTheFacts.org on June 10, 2006 (a year ago.) Notice the Unitarian Universalist
Church sign on the last picture. Here is what Brian Edwards is quoted
as saying about the curriculum: Brian Edwards describes the
curriculum additions as a "discussion of defining terms
related to sexual orientation and information regarding
teaching the concepts of tolerance, empathy and respect for
all people regardless of sexual orientation." source Concepts of tolerance, empathy and respect of all
people regardless of sexual orientation, all fall into the
teachings of the Unitarian Universalist Church. It is
their beliefs that are being taught in the Montgomery
Maryland schools. ©

The Maryland

supersedes the rights of parents in teaching children about
homosexuality. The Board said the
"right (of parents) is not absolute. It must bend to the
State's duty to educate its citizens."
