I received some really disturbing news recently. I had a friend that his dad was the principal at the local high school and he, his wife and my parents were friends. Their son and I played together in the crib and were close friends thru college. We ran the bars, hunted and fished, and chased women all the time. Life led us in separate directions and it got to be a phone call every few months then less. A colleague from LA called me a couple months ago to let me know he had been arrested for solicitation of a minor and child porn with a $650k bond. What warped this man to do something like that. Was I too stupid or blind that I never saw any indication of this type behavior when we close ?? I gotta say something like this makes you doubt your judgement of character. Has he been preying on underage girls all along or just went off the deep end at 68 ?? Clearly introducing sexual perversion in grade school is reprehensible IMO. I am just now second guessing that - is it something that is pre installed in peoples psyche that is going to rise to the surface sooner or later no matter your education ?? My friend had a great upbringing with none of the usual dysfunction associated with this type of behavior. I guess I am rambling now / my point is we always say let kids be kids as long as they can and I will always believe that. BUT - when it comes to sexual perversion can a book or teaching about sex actually cause a kid to go down a sick path? That was definitely not the case with my friend who will more than likely spend the rest of his life in prison. The one thing I am thankful for is both his parents have passed and don’t have to endure this. They were the kindest, caring people you could ever meet. All that being said - if he is found guilty - he should spend the rest of his life miserable - rotting in prison !! I guess I’m like the neighbor of a serial killer “He was a great guy”
I absolutely believe this sexual introduction and "hurray" coming out type stuff is pushing vulnerable youth into paths that they may not normally want to go. When people in position of authority clap smile and praise even in the premise "it's OK" it could easily push young people who are searching for happiness and acceptance down a path that has nothing to do with sexual orientation. Sooner or later when that child finds out it really didn't lead to the happiness they were searching for its going to lead to some really messed up kids.
I also believe many of these teachers who are LGBT are out to indoctrinate and normalize the perception at the expense of the children.
