“Coming Out Day”
Coming This Week to California Elementary Schools
City: Hayward, CA
October 22, 2008
Parents at a K-8 charter school in Hayward were shocked to learn this week the
extent to which their school is promoting gay and lesbian ideals to their daughter in
kindergarten.
The parents were shocked to see a poster announcing that “Coming Out Day”
will be celebrated at the school this coming Thursday, October 23. The school,
Faith Ringgold School of Art and Science, chose not to tell parents ahead of time,
but it is in the midst of celebrating “Ally Week,” a pro-homosexual push typically
aimed at high school students. When one mother asked her daughter earlier this
week what she was learning in kindergarten at the school, the 5-year-old replied,
“We're learning to be allies.” The mother also learned that her daughter's kindergarten
classroom is regularly used during lunchtime for meetings of a Gay Straight
Alliance club.
Later this week, the school is slated to talk about families. The parents have
noticed several posters promoting families, all of which depict only homosexual
families. More controversial discussions can be expected through next week, as the
elementary school continues to celebrate Gay and Lesbian History Month. On
November 20, the school will host TransAction Gender-Bender Read-Aloud, where
students will hear adapted tales such as “Jane and the Beanstalk.”
These parents are being advised by attorneys from Pacific Justice Institute. Brad
Dacus, president of Pacific Justice Institute, commented, “Do we need any further
proof that gay activists will target children as early as possible? Opponents of traditional marriage keep telling us that Prop. 8 has nothing to do with education. In reality, they want to push the gay lifestyle on kindergartners, and we can only
imagine how much worse it will be if Prop. 8 is defeated. This is not a scenario
most Californians want replayed in their elementary schools.”
This is Just the Beginning. We Must Stop It!

I'm a little sad to say that's our hometown.
How can the California Teachers Union claim that the failure of Prop. 8 will not have an effect in the classroom? Especially since this is already happening in California? I had heard of cases in Massachusetts, but not CA before this. When my childrn's school has Red Ribbon Week, we get prior notice that the students will be focusing on being drug free...so, it seems awfully strange that the school wouldn't tell parents that they are having a "Coming Out Day" and an "Ally Week", unless school officials knew that many parents would not favor such a week. Parents should have the say over whether or not their children are taught gay and lesbian ideals. Vote yes on Prop. 8!
