Stop Bullying and the Gay Agenda

Government does two things very well. The first is to spend money, even money it does not have (e.g. debt). The second is expanding its control over every aspect of our lives. The latest target is children, especially little blond haired, blue eyed, white boys like the one pictured right. Government schools are designed to control; control of children for the purpose of molding them into what society believes is in its best interests.

Saint Francis Xavier wrote, "Give me the children until they are seven and anyone may have them afterward."

Saint Francis was speaking of the church; the church as the bastion of learning has been replaced by secular government schools. Today some parents fear sending their children to government schools for many reasons but bullying is not on the top of their list. So how did bullying become the top priority of government schools?

In the Wall Street Journal article “Stop Panicking about Bullies” Nick Gillespie asks, “But is America really in the midst of a 'bullying crisis,' as so many now claim? I don't see it. I also suspect that our fears about the ubiquity of bullying are just the latest in a long line of well-intentioned yet hyperbolic alarms about how awful it is to be a kid today." [My emphasis]

How did we get to this point of "hyperbolic alarm"? The anti-bullying campaign was started by the radical gay activist Kevin Jennings. The entire bullying campaign is a sham created from whole cloth. Jennings is the founder of the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network (GLSEN). As MassResistance.org reports, "The homosexual movement in the public schools has always been based on lies and deception. But until the mid-1990s, they were still having difficulty getting into the schools. Then they found the key to their huge success -- what they call 'reframing the issue'."

So what does "reframing the issue" mean?

It means changing the dialogue from homosexuality is bad behavior to bullying homosexuals is even worse behavior. How do you and I know this is the plan? The following is taken from a Jennings speech entitled "Winning the Culture War" presented at the Human Rights Campaign Fund Leadership Conference on March 5, 1995:

"If the Radical Right can succeed in portraying us as preying on children, we will lose. Their language -- "promoting homosexuality" is one example -- is laced with subtle and not-so- subtle innuendo that we are "after their kids." We must learn from the abortion struggle, where the clever claiming of the term "pro-life" allowed those who opposed abortion on demand to frame the issue to their advantage, to make sure that we do not allow ourselves to be painted into a corner before the debate even begins.

"In Massachusetts the effective reframing of this issue was the key to the success of the Governor's Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth. We immediately seized upon the opponent's calling card--safety--and explained how homophobia represents a threat to students' safety by creating a climate where violence, name-calling, health problems, and suicide are common.Titling our report 'Making Schools Safe for Gay and Lesbian Youth,' we automatically threw our opponents onto the defensive and stole their best line of attack. This framing short-circuited their arguments and left them back-pedaling from day one.

"Finding the effective frame for your community is the key to victory. It must be linked to universal values that everyone in the community has in common. In Massachusetts, no one could speak up against our frame and say, 'Why, yes, I do think students should kill themselves': this allowed us to set the terms for debate.

"In Massachusetts, we made creating an environment where youth could speak out our number one priority. We know that, confronted with real-life stories of youth who had suffered from homophobia, our opponents would have to attack people who had already been victimized once,which put them in a bully position from which it would be hard to emerge looking good. More importantly, we made sure these youth met with elected officials so that, the next time these officials had to vote on something, there would be a specific face and story attached to the issue. We wanted them to have an actual kid in mind when they had to cast their votes. We won the final vote in the Senate 33-7 as a result." [My emphasis]

Now do you understand how gay radicals have gained access to our schools and created a new class of social misfits and criminals – bullies who are six years-old blond haired, blue eyed and white?

LGBT youth are up to five times more likely to attempt suicide than their straight counterparts. Homosexuality, like drugs, harms young people if they experiment with it. That is the great tragedy. The movie "Stop Bullying" just adds to future tragedies by endorsing the Jennings gay agenda. As Nick Gillespie writes, "The antibullying movement is already conflating serious cases of gay-bashing and vicious harassment with things like…a kid named Cheese having a tough time in grade school."

This is not bullying. It is peer pressure and is healthy. There are many bad behaviors such as smoking, underage drinking and drug abuse that cannot be condoned by society. Homosexuality falls into this category. Homosexuality is simply bad behavior that youth see as such and rightly pressure their peers to stop it. In Sarasota County over 70% of all HIV/AIDS cases are due to male sex with males.

Let’s not demonize all the children to protect the bad behaviors of a few.

Comment by Tim Hennum on April 1, 2012 at 11:15pm: Nancy...I'll take the bait. Sure, lets talk about...oh....tax evasion. Or, we could talk about "conforming to the ways of the world". Wait, you wanted to talk about adultery...but why stop there. Lets talk about pedophiles, internet porn, gossip, debauchery, drunkenness, ....the list goes on. Hello? We are talking about homosexuality because that is part of the topic in the original post above. Does that mean we are secretly commiting adultery and other sins while only trying to expose the sin of homosexuality? OF COURSE NOT! The "cast the first stone" argument your making is tired and old and frankly, irrelevant.

As far as OT versus NT, although there are many great points and prophecies in the OT pointing to the NT, we are no longer under the age of the law, but rather we are in the the age of grace (NT). If we take your argument, then why believe or follow any instruction at all? Only when one has a true relationship with our maker does the mind open up to (and understand) His word and will.

Comment by Nancy Evins on April 1, 2012 at 3:48pm: To Chas. Jones:Please read your Bible more thoroughly and open mindedly.While Abraham had only one wife, he took another woman to bed and produced Ishmael Ture Isaac hadonly one wife and she was selected for him.

f we use the O.T. for suporting how we should live today..what do you think of having a concubine if your wife is infertile or having your family send you a stranger to live with the rest of your life.

Jacob had two wives and two handmaidens to sleep with. David had many as did Solomon and even Hannah the mother of Samuel, was the second wife.

I suppose we are all cafeteria Christains since we pick and choose which parts of the Bible we want to follow. But I wish you men would be as firm against adultery as you are abou thomosexuality which you aren't tempted to do anyway...or as Kinsey pointed out,many men who are so strongly against it, are latent homoxesuals.

Comment by Rich Knoch on April 1, 2012 at 10:15am: Our local school just capitulated to the ACLU, paid the $150,000 ransom, and now have the internet open to all sorts of GBLTQIA (and goats?) websites. Was Questioning added simply to expand their coverage?
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=LGBTQIA

The great majority of parents (my guess is 80%+) don't want their children to have access to these pro-GBLTQIA websites while in school . . . if they, in fact did, they would let them access these sites from home.

The ACLU is simply the (well-paid) handmaiden for the loss of parental control and the increase of government control over our youngsters. Points 17, 18,19 and 25 of the Goals. They are winning and American is losing!

Comment by Carol Williams on March 31, 2012 at 9:44pm: Jeff,

In fact I watched the AGENDA documentary about a week ago with my daughter. She is beginning to suspect the green movement isn't all it's cracked up to be. :)

I'm not sure the GOP has much interest in getting the information out there, tho, infested as it is with lefties of its own. I had thought about approaching churches to show it to their congregations but I think even that is going to be an uphill battle for altogether different reasons. You talk about this stuff with the ordinary man in the street and they think you're nuts! WE have become the subversives!

Comment by Jeff B. Willis on March 31, 2012 at 9:27pm: I guess you have watched Congressman Curtis Bower's "Agenda- Grinding America Down."

GOP National needs to make arrangments to air this chilling account during weekends on Fox and Independent TV stations in swing states. It is amazing how inexpensive they could buy the 90 minute programs for! It's even more amazing how many uncommitted people would view the film. It's a serious, SERIOUS piece of research.

Comment by Carol Williams on March 31, 2012 at 9:22pm: In 1958 Cleon Skousen published The Naked Communist in which he listed 45 communist goals for America. Here are 2 of them:

26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."

40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.

(See all 45 goals here.)

The communists/socialists/progressives don't give a tinker's damn about the homosexual community. They simply find homosexuals useful in their destruction of American culture. On the one hand they demonize God-fearing Christians by labeling them homophobes, on the other they seek to redefine the institution of marriage and along with it the traditional family unit.

Several years ago Dr. James Garlow wrote an excellent article pointing out that the gay agenda doesn't end with same sex marriage - when has a leftist goal ever ended with satisfaction of its demands?! Next would be polygamy, then marriage to pets and/or children. (I tried for an hour to find the very learned paper he wrote about it but can't but I'm sure his premise would show up in other writings.) As can be seen the gay agenda is very useful to the leftist cause.

To Chas Jones: Can you name me one man in the Bible (Old Testament) with only one wife? Adam, perhaps, but who else? i wouldn't think using the Bible for that logic (?) would suffice...since most men had several wives along with many concubines.

My Answer: Abraham and Isaac and numerous others adhered to God's declared ideal of one man and one woman becoming one flesh. Adam and Eve are the clear ideal. Man rejected God and His commands and was cursed by separation from God and decay and death. Nowhere does God teach or instruct deviation from monogamy. Even divorce was only granted due to the hardness of man's hearts. God also did not teach men to demand human kings, and yet His chosen people did exactly that. God established Law to demonstrate mans utter inability to obey God and as a model for confession, repentance, sacrifice, and redemption. Nowhere does God ever teach abandonment of His ideals.

Comment by Phillip Blackaby on March 31, 2012 at 8:29pm: Thank you for a wonderful article, Dr. Swier. I have long felt the anti-bullying push has gone hand in hand with the LGBT agenda, but this is the first I've seen it in print.

After perusing a few of the comments, it seems that homosexuality is one of the most polarizing subjects of the times. What was once rejected, shameful, and scandalous from plain and simple common sense has devolved into an "accept-or-else" mentality. Years of LGBT agenda bombardment from every angle, including schools, radio, TV, commercials, even churches, has brought us to the brink of desolation.

Some here have said that homosexuality is a sin. I contend that it is far beyond a sin, it is a direct rebellion against God and Nature, and everywhere it is mentioned in the Bible is in the context of abomination.

It's time our nation returned to the Laws of Nature and Nature's God, as put forth by the Founders.

Comment by Chas Jones on March 31, 2012 at 6:44pm: God makes it clear that His ideal is for one man and one woman to marry and live according to His revealed WORD. The Apostle Paul chose bachelorhood for his own reasons and cautioned those following that path to refrain from all sins of the flesh. My personal belief is that we are all born able to embrace God's ideal model for marriage and intimacy ... or celibacy. Choosing anything else violates God's WORD and Will and constitutes sinful disobedience.

Apart from the Scriptural perspective, those deliberately reveling in sins of the flesh have had great success in redefining their sin. We should all favor and support a civil moral code and body of law closest to God's teaching. However, I neither want nor need "morality police" invading folks domiciles. That said, I see no reason to enable open rebellion to God's ideals outside private domiciles.

Lastly, immorality and sins of the flesh ought not find tolerance when such behavior spills from behind closed doors into the public square. We are commanded to love the sinners as we are taught God loves us all, but God despises [hates] sin and must do justice toward sinners.

I welcome any of your comments pertaining to my thoughts.
