3 Year Old To be Taught Same-Sex Relationships?
Here is a good example of political correctness going too far.
The National Union of Teachers, Great Britain's largest teaching union is advocating that children as young as three years old should be taught about same-sex relationships in a bid to stamp out homophobia.
The NUT document says: "In the case of homophobia, the use of the word 'gay' is prevalent in primary schools and young boys who are perceived to not conform to masculine stereotypes are at risk of bullying, isolation and social exclusion.
"It is too late to wait until primary school to challenge prejudice and intolerant abusive language (The Daily Mail of UK)
I ask, how can a child at that age understand this concept of same-sex relationships? And what about their childhood innocent? Yes, children should be taught to respect all persons without overly exposing them to one particularly minority group.
At least there is some sanity in UK.
…Nick Seaton, of the Campaign for Real Education, branded the demands as "ridiculous".
He said: "I very much doubt that three-year-olds will be able to grasp the implications of these things anyway.
"Apart from that, even if they do, it seems completely wrong for the state education system to try and brainwash youngsters in this way.
"It is achingly politically correct and it's a sad reflection on the direction state education is taking, with the emphasis on teaching politically correct values, rather than worthwhile subjects." (The Daily Mail of UK)
and,
Hugh McKinney, of the National Family Campaign, added: "To attach any kind of value judgment to the views and statements of three-year-olds is simply nonsense.
"Nobody condones homophobic language but to try and teach impressionable, immature youngsters about issues such as this is simply wrong for their stage of development.
"The state system should not be the basis for such teaching until children are older and more able to form their own judgments." (The Daily Mail of UK)
The only alternative is private schooling. But not everyone can afford to send their child to a private school.

The Breeds Terrorism, Attacks on US Likely, Biblical Prophecies Pending, Armageddon at the Door
FRESNO, California, July 27 /Christian Newswire/ — Bible expert, author, radio host and TV producer Steve Wohlberg refutes ‘politically correct’ opinions declaring that Hezbollah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and Al-Qaida terrorists “have nothing to do with Islam” but are “a perversion of Islam” (Associated Press, Sept. 20, 2001, remarks made by President Bush before a joint session of Congress shortly after Sept. 11). “This is not true,” says Wohlberg, “Muslim terrorists are actually following the Koran, which commands Allah’s loyal followers to ‘fight those of the unbelievers’ (Quran, Surah IX: 123, Shakir’s translation, New York) until Islam ‘prevails over all religions’ (Surah IX: 33).”
Thursday’s Al-Jazeera TV broadcast of the message of Ayman al-Zawahri, second in command to Osama bin Laden, supports Wohlberg’s contention. Rejecting all “cease-fires or agreements,” al-Zawahri declared, “It is a Jihad (holy war) for the sake of God and will last until (our) religion prevails …We will attack everywhere…” (AP, July 27, Al-Qaida calls for Holy War against Israel). Al-Zawahri appealed to Muslims worldwide to stand against what is “forbidden by God in his book (the Quran).”
CIA Director George Tennet testified before Congress February 24, 2004 that Hezbollah has an extensive network of operatives on American soil and an “ongoing capability to launch terrorist attacks within the US.” In light of the current conflict between Hezbollah and Israel, and al-Zawahri’s appeal for Muslims worldwide to wage war “everywhere,” these threats should be taken seriously.
Conflicting apocalyptic theories abound, yet Steve Wohlberg has become a recognized expert on what the Book of Revelation teaches about ‘the end of days.’ His book, End Time Delusions: The Rapture, the Antichrist, Israel, and the End of the World (Destiny Image, 2004) separates fact from fiction about the past, the present, and the future. Based on years of research into biblical prophecies combined with an intelligent eye on world events, Wohlberg believes “Armageddon” is pending, “the battle of the great day of God Almighty” (Revelation 16:14, 16).
Steve Wohlberg is Speaker/Director of White Horse Media, hosts the nationally syndicated radio program, World News and the Bible, and has been a guest on over 400 radio and TV shows, including USA Radio, American Family Radio, Cable Radio Network, Focus 4, FamilyNet and The Harvest Show.
