Elementary School Marches In Gay Pride
August 19, 2006 09:00 AM EST



(JHR) At this time last year, the San Diego Gay Pride organization (http://www.sdpride.org) was under investigation for employing numerous pedophiles as volunteers and staff superviors during it annual parade and festival. The scandal involved dangerous sex offenders working for San Diego Gay Pride who had been convicted of having sex with young male minors or young children (http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=45151).
One of those pedophiles was hired by the San Diego Gay Pride group to work in its children's garden during their 2005 festival (http://www.10news.com/news/4857263/detail.html). Most San Diegans would have thought that in 2006, the last place that public schools would allow their children to be on July 29, 2006, would be participating in the pornographic event of the San Diego Gay Pride parade, especially in light of the previous year's pedophile scandal. These San Diegans have guessed wrong.
In one of the most appalling displays of gross disregard for the safety of young children, the San Diego City School system allowed a number of small children to march inside of the San Diego Gay Pride parade under the banner of one of its schools, despite the fact that these children were brought into the midst of a number of businesses promoting pornography and nearly nude men and women in graphic sexualized demonstrations. It is by far one of the most grostesque and heinous acts that the San Diego City School system has ever engaged in and action must be taken to sanction the school that did this horrific act.
The San Diego Cooperative Charter School (http://www.sdccs.org/) operates a public school, grades K-8, under the jurisdiction of the San Diego Unified School District at 2850 Sixth Avenue. Sharing the same building with this charter school, is the notorious abortion clinic, Family Planning Associates (http://www.fpamg.net/california.html). Opening at that location on September 3, 2002 (http://www.sdccs.org/schoolorganization.htm), the school chose that location even though the abortion clinic was operating inside of the building.
With daily reports across America of school teachers molesting their students, and female teachers posing nude in adult magazines, one would think that the last place a San Diego City Charter School would bring young children is to the San Diego Gay Pride parade. Photographs taken at this year's parade reveal nauseating displays of graphic sexuality and pornographic businesses being promoted (http://htfttf.com/sdgaypride2006/index.htm). How the teachers of an elementary school thought it was okay to march as a group under the official banner of the charter school along with children is beyond the pale of anything that the taxpayers and parents of San Diego ever invisioned when they voted to allow the establishment of the public satellite charter schools.
In a true slap in the face of decency and what is in the best interest of children in the public school system, teachers employed with the San Diego Cooperative Charter School can be seen in a photograph in the school's current newsletter posing with very small kids during the parade. It demonstrates the absolute danger that exists in the public school system for many children and what is being placed in their young and impressionable minds. In the photograph, one little girl can be seen holding up a shark with the letters "Diversity" printed on it. Standing in front of a taxpayer funded yellow school bus, another adult in the photo can be seen holding up a sign that reads, "SDCCS - School With Pride". It should also be noted that on the principal's web page is the slogan "You've never seen a public school like this one!" (http://www.sdccs.org/principal.htm). Considering the fact that the school's principal, Dr. Wendy Ranck-Buhr, allowed her staff to march children into a pornographic-filled parade, that is probably a very appropriate slogan. Here is the unbelievable photograph from the SDCCS School Newsletter:
(http://service.govdelivery.com/service/docs/CASDCCS/CASDCCS_3/CASDCCS_3_20060818_en.pdf)
What school being funded by the taxpayers of San Diego would be so immoral as to allow small children under the official banner of the San Diego school system to march in the midst of this pornographic gay parade? Did the teachers miss the man who marched down the street giving out goodies while only wearing a g-string? Did they overlook the car filled with men that advertised for RentBoy, the male escort service? Or did the teachers not hear the blasting music from the Powerhouse Productions float that had nearly nude male dancers gyrating for the crowd? What kind of parents bring their kids to something so harmful to their kid's young minds? What message is this sending to the trouble youth of America?

Still waiting for that newspaper article or news video that shows a school-sponsored, weekend field trip to a Pride event....

Tell me what you see there that is unique to the gay community or that steps over the line to obscenity.

Risque? Yes.

Bad taste? Yes.

Do I want such people saying that they represent me? No.

Is it their right to present THEMSELVES as they please? Yes.

And, by the way, where is this particular parade? (Because it does make a difference.)
Right now America spends $700 billion every year on foreign oil. That's our money going overseas when it could be staying here. We have to stop this.

why is "nearly nude" acceptable on the beach and in the gym - but the same garments by the same people in a parade that is heavy "entertainment oriented) suddenly pornographic?

A charter school, which means that parents made a conscious choice to send their children there.

AND as others have pointed out, schools need permission to take children anywhere, including parades.

So really aren't you just pissed at parents for raising their children the way that they see fit?

Or do you think parents are too stupid to inform themselves about what might be involved in an event so the schools have to take care of the moral upbringing of their children for them?

That is just too funny. I didn't click on the link so I didn't notice.

Yeah, that's some real, unbiased news reporting there.

I should have specified. Give me a reputable source. The crap you've posted so far is filled with phrases like "sick perverts".

Quote:
In a statement, Pride board co-chair Philip Princetta said, "The board of directors appologizes to this community for creating this situation. It was never the intent of any board member to deceive or lie to our community. ...Did we make a mistake? We most certainly did. Did we mean for this to happen? Definitely not," Princetta said.

Princetta said he was shocked and dismayed to learn "Marty the Clown," Martin Ramirez, is registered on the Megan's Law Web site, and that the board is still trying to determine all the facts surrounding his participation.

Many at Monday's meeting were concerned this situation will tarnish the festival's future.

Pride Festival Clown Revealed As Sex Offender - San Diego News Story - KGTV San Diego
Nothing like actually reading the sources provided, instead of relying on some op-ed writer with an agenda to analyze and regurgitate the information with his own spin.

Quote:

Charter schools have different rules. They're not like a public school that you have to attend if you live in a certain area. The parents/guardians had to specifically choose that school for what it could offer that public schools couldn't.

So you've taken a news story from 2005 about a couple of people who ended up on a sex offender list who worked a Pride event (and the whole issue of who ends up on sex offender lists for what reasons is a whole 'nother mess--you can't assume just because someone is on that list that they're a "pedophile") and used it to paint an entire community as corrupt and immoral.

And the clearly unbiased (LOL) source you got all this from is an op-ed by an online magazine that has headlines such as this in 48point type on the front page:

Bishop: Christians
don't go to heaven

Sorry, your source is nothing more than the "Weekly World News" for Christians....

A convicted felon and born-again Christian, Hartline, 47, renounced the life he led for 33 years as a homosexual shortly after he was diagnosed with HIV in 1997. Although he has started taking medication, he believes God will one day cure him of AIDS. Moreover, he has turned against the gay community and has spent the last five years leading an increasingly vocal and effective crusade to close gay bathhouses and shutter adult bookstores in San Diego.


Along the way, he has taken shots at gay-friendly community organizations, individuals and events, as well as anything else that he feels falls short of being truly Christian, creating controversy in a series of high-profile confrontations.



“Honestly, in my 40 years I have not met a [man like] Hartline,” says Nicole Murray-Ramirez, a gay-community activist. “He's a guy that admits that he used to do drugs, he admits he used to go to bathhouses, he admits he used to be gay, he admits that he got HIV.... He knows our community inside and out. He knows how to exploit and exaggerate things, how to take things out of context.
“We have dealt with the religious right, radicals, militants, the American Nazis-we have dealt with all of them. We have never in San Diego-and I have been here 40 years-dealt with a Hartline. He's one of the most dangerous.”


A true enemy from within, Hartline has managed to generate all of this trouble while living in Hillcrest, in the midst of those he despises most and just blocks away from the San Diego Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Community Center, the hub of San Diego's gay community.


San Diego CityBeat - THE ENEMY FROM WITHIN


Tell me again why I should listen to this "Hartline" guy? Seems like if it bothered him that much he'd just move, dontcha think?



Nope. Seems he'd rather compare us "sick perverts" to a truly sick pervert, Hitler.
