New YouTube Video Clarifies Yes on 8 Proponents' Concerns: Education and Protection of Children is at Risk
SACRAMENTO, October 31 /Christian Newswire/ -- Proposition 8 preserves the rights of parents to decide what lifestyle choices are taught to their children and protects children. The absence of the words "between a man and a woman" which were deleted from our laws this past May by the California Supreme Court, has provided an opening for gay activists to force their agenda of sexual orientation education into our public schools. A new video available on www.protectmarriage.com and on YouTube through the following link, http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=Y5qdOQ-yzFU clarifies the issues at stake.
This new video shows an actual "pledge" card that 5-year olds were compelled to sign in the Faith Ringgold Elementary kindergarten last week. It commits them to protect and defend gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender relationships. Parents who challenged the teacher were not permitted to "opt out" of this instruction.
Since the California Supreme Court narrowly overturned the will of the voters and allowed gay marriage, children as young as kindergarten have been exposed to indoctrination on gay lifestyles while parents have not been allowed to opt out or have a voice in the instruction.
California election law requires that children be instructed on marriage. At least 96% of all California schools teach health education curriculum which INCLUDES marriage. Should Proposition 8 fail, gay activists will be able to force gay marriage to be taught as part of our school health curriculum and other matters of sexual orientation. The majority of California parents feel that it is their right to teach their children first about sexuality, according to their own beliefs and at a time of their choosing.
Yes on 8 is a vote for the right of parents to instruct their children on matters of faith, values and morality. The protection of marriage in no way infringes upon the rights of gay couples to enjoy the same legal benefits as married couples through a civil union, including adoption, shared benefits and transfer of property. Voting YES on 8 will return the words "between a man and a woman" to California state laws, and because 99% of all marriages in California ARE between a man and a woman, their marriages deserve to be recognized in the law as well.
