Had enough? Citizens, take back your government! | |||
Parents across the state are fighting for the School Survey Consent Bill (S316) -- now before the Education Committee! Call them!
Current Status: Education Committee heard public testimony on Sept. 22. Will schedule an executive session this fall to decide fate of the bill -- whether to pass it to the full Legislature or kill it. What you need to do: (1) Call the committee members (at office or at home), let them know why S316 is needed, and tell them NOT to kill it in committee. (2) If possible, prepare your own testimony and mail it to the committee (and send a copy to us).
Click here for Education Committee List, Last year, Donna Pasquarosa, a Newton mother, had had enough. After enduring years of intrusive and inappropriate surveys given to her kids in the public school system, she did the research to submit a bill before the Legislature. She persuaded her state senator, liberal Cynthia Creem, to file it for her. It is now S316, and would require written parental consent prior to a student taking a survey. (See text of bill, and current status, below.) Surveys are often used as political tools, particularly by homosexual groups. Over the last several years, surveys given to children in the public schools have become political tools for various special interest groups to use justify their various social engineering programs aimed at children. As a result, these surveys have become increasingly emotionally and psychologically intrusive, and quite sexual in nature. In addition, schools usually refuse to allow parents to see the surveys (and often don't even notify them) before they are given to their children. Starting in the mid-1990's, the "results" of the Massachusetts Youth Risk Behavior Survey has been used by homosexual groups across the country to "prove" that kids are not safe unless more homosexual programs are used in the schools. This dovetailed with their strategy of deceiving the public about the true nature of the programs. (See article here.)
Mass. Youth Risk Behavior Survey: a parent's nightmare! Given to kids across
Massachusetts as young as 12 years old, this is a parent's nightmare. Asks
incredibly intrusive questions. Used by gay lobby to "justify" their programs in
schools. Click here to
see it. You won't believe this is given to Mass. kids! Mind games on kids. As the testimony brought out, there are many serious problems with these surveys:
Other horror stories. Earlier this year, Mark Fisher, a father from Shrewsbury, made national news when his 12-year-old daughter's sixth-grade class was asked in a classroom survey: "Have you ever given or received oral sex?" Mr. Fisher also demanded to see the other questions, and the school refused to comply until great pressure was brought on them by the publicity. Two years ago, Newton North High School gave a school-wide survey to all students during homeroom. Created by a national homosexual group, it contained the following questions:
How do questions like these affect a child who's developing his own sense of emotional identity? No one seems to care. These are actually cruel experiments. We may not know for years how a child reacts to being asked to answer these questions. Text of Bill S316: (Link to official version on state website)
Lots of testimony at the State House in support of S316. At the September 22 public hearing at the State House, one after another came and gave testimony, often very emotional, before the Education Committee. No one came to testify against the bill! But you can be sure that the opponents (i.e., the sex lobby and the homosexual lobby) will be working behind the scenes to try to kill this.
