Another Failure of the Pro-Family Movement: Parental Rights Mean Nothing Without The Truth

MassResistance has worked with a number of parents throughout the years.

They contact our office because they are upset about the LGBT propaganda being pushed on their kids in the classroom. They are outraged by the LGBT agenda being taught to kids in the libraries, too.

Every time these parents come to MassResistance for help, we have to explain to them that it's not enough to say "Don't teach it to the kids." It's not acceptable to say: "I don't have a problem with gay people, but I just don't think it's appropriate to teach it to the kids."

If there is nothing wrong with living out homosexual conduct, if there is nothing wrong with giving into a lie that you can change your sex like flipping a switch, and by extension you can demand everyone else to accept this lie, then what is wrong with teaching it to the kids, too?

If you want to oppose LGBT being forced on your children, you have to oppose the LGBT agenda, period. It has no business being taught or promoted in the schools. It has no business being accepted in the public square. At all costs, we have to demonstrate courage to speak the truth about this agenda: 

1. People are not born gay

2. People do not "discover" at an early age that they are gay.

3. There are numerous health, social, and moral problems with homosexuality and transgenderism. It's harmful behavior, and no one should normalize it, let alone celebrate it.

Sadly, a number of these parents don't want to forcibly confront the entire LGBT agenda. They get skittish or squeamish about people labeling them "anti-gay" or "homophobic", or they fear that hate groups like the Southern Poverty Law Center will defame them.

So, many parents settle for "I want to protect my rights", i.e. they fight for the assurance of parental rights.

Here's one letter that I received from a parent, who had shared her gratitude with us for helping, but then wanted to walk away:

Hey Arthur. In talking to A------ today we decided that it would be best to just work with our  groups here locally on this issue. We appreciate everything you've done and the work that you do. However I feel like the message we're trying to send about parental rights is getting overshadowed by your dislike of gay and lesbians. And that is not an issue we want to take on. This has nothing to do with adults making decisions to live their life like they would like, it has to do with the school not notifying us and counseling a child in the way they did. I think our agendas are just different. I really appreciate all that you've done. Take care of yourself.

"The message we're trying to send about parental rights is getting overshadowed by your dislike of gays and lesbians."

Right away, there's the problem. Homosexuality, transgenderism, and like sexual perversions are not identities. People are not born that way, and we have to stop normalizing this lie that they are fixed, concrete aspects of a person's being.

"And that is not an issue we want to take on."

The truth is that she got scared because the local press quoted the hate group from Alabama, which has a routine habit of smearing, defaming, and libeling anyone who defends the health and well-being of children, adults, and families. Hate groups have that perverse tendency.

But the response to bullying is not to run away, but to stand one's ground and fight back. In response to this decision to cave and run away from the fight, I wrote the following extended letter--and I share it with everyone so that they understand that hiding behind "parental rights" is not enough to fight the fight against LGBT indoctrination and promotionalism:

I must say that I am really disappointed that you are doing this.

 

Frankly, the rhetoric that you're using is based on false arguments that need to be confronted:

 

"[G]etting overshadowed by your dislike of gay and lesbians."

 

Gay, lesbian---these are not fixed identities. People are NOT "born that way." There are too many testimonies of men and women who have left the LGBT lifestyle, which proves that it is not innate. In truth, the greater dislike that I share is that this LGBT agenda is based on lies that induce people to abuse their bodies and cut their lifespans shorts. Kevin Whitt, our Assistant Director for Texas MassResistance, a former drag queen and transgender, can attest to the truth that people are not born gay. You misconstrue my dislike, and that is wrong.

 

Janice, you were fully aware of MassResistance’s stance on LGBT matters, and now all of a sudden you want to have nothing to do with us. There's more to this story than you are sharing. I sense that you got afraid simply because a hate group in Alabama targets us, and the corrupt local press referenced them. That is not courage. Imagine if Ward Connerly had given up on fighting against “affirmative action” because peopled called him “racist”? And I know they did.

 

Here’s a more profound point I need to make: If "being" gay or lesbian is OK, then why is it wrong for a counselor to mislead a young girl to think that she should become a he? Why is it wrong to promote LGBT behaviors to children?

 

If you accept the lie that LGBT behaviors are fixed identities, then you are ultimately invalidating the very parental rights you claim to champion. The LGBT Lobby will push back on parents and say "If you kid is gay, you should accept it. If your 11-year-old grand-daughter is transsexual, why would you oppose it? You are a bad parent if you don’t accept! That’s child abuse!”

 

The next step that ensues? Government agencies will take your children away because you are not allowing them to be their "authentic selves."

 

This is happening in the United States already. Jeff Younger of Texas is trying to save his son from his abusive ex-wife, who is trying to turn him into a girl -- and currently courts are siding with the MOTHER to allow this abuse to occur.

 

Tracy Shannon, our Texas Director, had to deal with massive abuse from the foster and judicial systems because she would not accommodate her ex-husband's madness to become a woman. Her kids faced incredible abuse and trials because of this brokenness. This LGBT agenda is not some live-and-let-live private matter.

Rob Hoogland of British Columbia is facing jail time because he opposed the local school district's extensive efforts to force his daughter to transition into a boy. When he found out about it and tried to stop it, the state courts imposed penalities on HIM, and they assigned a court-appointed lawyer to represent his daughter so that she could continue this destructive transition to become a male. The plea for "parental rights" cannot withstand the larger juggernaut if people don't speak the truth and fight the larger agenda.

 

Again, Janice, this LGBT agenda is not a private matter. This is not about consenting adults doing what they want in private—and as a reminder, governments do rightly police private sexual behavior for the public good (prostitution, incest, for example). The LGBT agenda is a public agenda that is forcing its way onto everyone, and undermining the natural rights of all, and the parental rights of adults with children in particular.

 

Again, it’s your decision to back away, but don’t expect to win this fight based solely on “parental rights”. You have to call out the full folly and fraud of the whole LGBT agenda, or you will fail every time. This is why this agenda has advanced to such an extent in the United States, that a counselor in an elementary school is telling an 11-year-old girl that it’s OK for her to be a transsexual.

Sincerely,

Arthur Schaper, Organization Director

Final Reflection

There is no excuse for parents to run away from the fight once they have stepped in to protect the best interests of their children. Protection of children must include the courage to speak out against LGBT insanity in all of its forms, not just transgenderism. 

MassResistance activists remain committed to informing and training parents how to fight these evil lies and win. Yes, there will be slander, yes there will be nasty attacks, but we can prevail if we stand our ground and refuse to give in.

Furthermore, parental rights are not absolute, and they are not an absolute defense. Parents do not have the right to beat their children, to place them in harm's way, or to starve them, for example. Parents do not have the right to show their children pornography, either. Parental rights have been used by the left as justification for allowing Drag Queen Story Hour programs to take place in public libraries. Why should we stand by and allow parents with no morals, scruples, or any sense of moral direction to get away with putting such perverse madness in the minds of their children?

Parental rights mean nothing if they are not bolstered by the truth, either. The truth is that people cannot change their sex like changing their garments. The truth is that no one is born gay, and no child should be encouraged to engage in such destructive behavior in the first place. When the truth is clearly stated and promoted, the fight for parental rights to protect one's child from such undue influences becomes much stronger.

I am happy to report that in the state in question where this break-up occured, more activists have stepped up and are willing to continue the fight for the specific outcome listed. More parents are understanding the need to fight for the truth, and not just hide behind "parental rights" as the one and only argument.

Victory, Not Containment: The Pro-Family Movement Must Tear Down the LGBT Wall

The year 2019 was the 30^th Anniversary of two pivotal moments in the fight against Communist tyranny. The first is The Tiananmen Square Massacre, a protest-turned-brutal reminder that Communism was unsparing in its malevolence. Chinese citizens protested Beijing’s communistic despotism, expressing the natural, fundamental longing to be free. They protested for democratic reforms. One man with a briefcase blocked a phalanx of army tanks, showing ready courage to resist communist tyranny.  In response, the Chinese military stormed the public square, slaughtering thousands. That day, the world could no longer ignore the obvious: the free world could not coexist with Communism and hope for détente. Like a virulent cancer, Communism needed to be exterminated, not accommodated.

In contrast to those June protests, November 1989 witnessed a stirring victory against Communism. Germans celebrated the collapse of the Soviet Union and demolished the Berlin Wall. Generations young and old embraced a new future, one in which the horrid divide between the Communist East and the Free West came crashing down in front of them. As travel restrictions between East and West feel, freedom fighters scaled the hateful Berlin Wall, vaunting the victory of liberty over tyranny. For thirty years, citizens of the Eastern Bloc had rushed the Berlin Wall in their attempts to flee Communism tyranny, only to be gunned down by Soviet turrets. That day, no one could stop the Germans rushing from East to West. With welcome glee, Germans on both sides took picks and axes and began breaking down the Berlin Wall.

All of a sudden, the symbol and substance of Communism came down, but the blows that brought down the Berlin Wall started much earlier in a debate half a world away. In 1967, then-California Governor Ronald Reagan was discussing with US Senator Robert F. Kennedy the United States’ role in fighting communism. Reagan declared: “I think the Berlin Wall should disappear.”

Reagan: "I would like to see the Berlin Wall Disappear"

 Europeans in general, and Western intellectuals in particular laughed. For them, Communism was a fait accompli. Everyone just needed to accept it. Rather than fighting back to eradicate that evil ideology, Western powers placated communist regimes and contained its spread as best as they could. That weak, ineffective approach didn’t cut it for Reagan. He wanted to consign Communism to “the ash heap of history,” not just stop its spread. He was committed to that vision until the day he was chopping off bits of the Berlin Wall’s bricks.

Today, the Pro-Family Movement is acting like the vast majority of Western leaders during Reagan’s day in regards to Communism. Instead of fighting against the LGBT onslaught to win, pro-family groups settle for failure and weak-kneed containment. Only thirty years ago, the LGBT lobby had peddled the lie that people are born gay, and therefore to oppose gays was total bigotry. Despite ample evidence proving otherwise, pro-family forces have given up fighting for what is right.

And what has been the result? First, pro-family have capitulated over and over:

 “We won’t throw you in jail for homosexual conduct, but keep it in your bedrooms.”

Then came the gay pride parades.

Gay Pride Parade in Toronto (notice the naked men around children in plain sight)

“You can have your gay marriage, but let us have our religious liberty!”

Then came the lawsuits against churches, charities, and small businesses.

“You can have your sex change operations, but don’t do it to my kids.”

Then came the court orders which forced parents to allow their children to undergo these horrendous, mutilating procedures. And now everyday people are begging for their liberty, only to face criminal prosecution for speaking out against homosexuality, transgenderism, and other paraphilias.

To succeed, the anti-LGBT movement must regain Reagan’s foresight and conviction. Reagan understood that Communism was a global ideology committed to world domination. Communist dictators were never going stay with their own borders, so Reagan knew that Communism needed to be crushed. Yet today the pro-family movement naïvely and cowardly believes that the LGBT Movement can be tolerated, as long as it remains within fixed boundaries. But the LGBT agenda has spread by force, ignoring the will of voters in the United States, throughout Europe, and now in South East Asia, where millions of Taiwanese voters supported natural marriage, but the government imposed gay marriage anyway.

Today, the LGBT Movement’s ruthless domination cannot be ignored. Major corporations celebrate Pride Month, shoving the corrupted six-color rainbow in consumers’ faces. Social media platforms celebrate all things LGBT and shut down anyone who disagrees. 

Drag Queens force their LGBT ideologies onto unwitting children in taxpayer-funded libraries. Parents cannot opt their children out of learning LGBT History and sexually explicit behaviors in government schools.

Only now is it finally dawning on people what MassResistance President Brian Camenker declared in 2013 said about the LGBT Agenda: “The slippery slope is real.”

"The slippery slope is real." -- Brian Camenker
Check out "What Gay Marriage Did to Massachusetts" video for more info

Like President Ronald Reagan confronting communism with the express intent of eradicating it, pro-family activists need to wake up and defeat the LGBT Agenda.  We have to strike at the core of this Big Gay Lie and knock it down. Consider what President Ronald Reagan told Gorbachev right in front of the Berlin Wall at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin: "Tear Down This Wall!"

Reagan did not worry about diplomatic platitudes. He didn’t play nice and say: "You can have your Communism on that side of the wall. Just don't bring it to our side." That weak, accommodationist containment strategy of the previous three decades gave the world Pol Pot’s Killing Fields, Che Guevara, and Tiananmen Square. Reagan’s bold, relentless conviction tore down the hated Berlin Wall, and with it the entire bloody fraud of Communism.

Today, the Pro-Family Movement must stop accommodation the LGBT Agenda, but tear down the LGBT wall. The whole agenda is a prison which has kept victimized millions, and now billions are forced to accommodate this tyranny or pay the price.  Communism is a lie. The LGBT Movement is rife with lies. The only way to stop lies is to fight them with the truth. Let’s follow Reagan’s example to consign this LGBT agenda to the ash heap of history.

Singapore's LGBT "Historian" Proves "Not Born That Way" (Inadvertently Shows Support for 377A)

Singapore, an economic and cultural miracle in Southeast Asian, is facing some heavy cultural head  winds. One of the a number of countries around the world which still criminalizes sodomy.

What's interesting about Singapore it that the country is not a third-world backwater, but a first-world powerhouse in the region.

Furthermore, some of the most able minds in the country, whether in the university or in parliament have spoken out forcefully against homosexuality and have rigorously, effectively defended maintaining the anti-sodomy laws on the books.

For more information on Prof. Theo Li-Ann's spirited and well-informed defense, click here.

Recently, I discovered one of the oldest, most vocal pro-LGBT advocates--and activists--in Singapore.

His name is Roy Tan:

Mr. Tan Demanding Repeal of 377A in ... 2008!

Roy Tan is the so-called historian of LGBT in Singapore.

Really.

What kind of history does he have?

He shares it openly, and what he shares is nothing short of horrifying, providing proof that these behaviors are not innate, but rather acquired, and ultimately destructive.

Furthermore, his account on "Dear Straight People" shows not just the militant opposition to defending natural marriage and healthy intercourse among adults, but also why Singapore is doing the right thing to keep the anti-sodomy laws, aka 377A, on the nation's books.

First, let's look at his childhood, as told by himself, by the way:

Roy was just 5-years old when he first experienced same-sex attraction.

A five-year old having sexual feelings? This is unseemly and unfounded. The hormonal developments which invite sexual feelings and physical growth does not take place until puberty.

What does Tan claim that he had "same-sex attraction"? There is nothing wrong with fellow-feeling for other men. There is also nothing wrong with having a profound admiration or affirmation for someone of the same sex. Deep friendships are founded on that kind of love.

Trips to the swimming pool were a frequent family affair. And it was there that Roy had his first brush with homosexuality.

Reminder: we are talking about a child, a five-year old. This account is becoming more disturbing.

Tan shares:

I would stare in fascination at the men walking around in the changing room, especially at their bushy pubes and large genitalia – appendages which I noticed I lacked as a child.

I have heard a similar account to this.

Vincent Yang of Taiwan shared a similar story from his childhood:

In the first part of his testimony, Vincent talks about the disturbing effect of showering with older relatives in public showers. He noticed the erect members of his older sibling, and he became engrossed with the private parts of other men.

From this fascination, he entered into liaisons with men in public toilets, then one-night stands with other men. Like Vincent, Roy's "initiation" into same-sex attraction began in a public shower around other men, but notice also that Roy mentions a sense of shame: "appendages which I noticed I lacked as a child."

It's not a wise idea to have children shower around strangers. This sense of shame emerges, and it causes great harm in the future for the person. There is something wrong, even destructive, about allowing children, boys and girls, to be around so many naked strangers at one time. And that's what happened to Roy.

His attraction to the same gender grew stronger with age. By the time he started primary school, Roy was already busy experimenting with his male classmates.

"Same gender"? What? There is biological sex. That is a static, genetic characteristic. Why alter that?

Gender is the term used to suggest that male and female are mere constructs. That is not true.

"Experimenting"? Is that what the interview calls sexual conduct between boys? The attitude about this is all wrong from the outside. Children should not be "experimenting" with their bodies at all. The physical pleasure gives way to a sense of loss, shame, and longing which cannot be assuaged or ignored without something better.

I am still in shock reading "experimenting with his male classmates". This is tragic, and yet a very common feature in the lives of many homosexuals.

Roy shares:

"When I attended school from Primary 1 (First Grade in the United States) onwards, I always had a best friend in class which I would become strongly attracted to.

"We would proceed to explore each other’s bodies when the occasion was appropriate in a very innocent way, mainly out of curiosity. I had no inkling at the time that it was a sexual interaction."

"A best friend", Roy writes. He had many such encounters, then? Was there more than one "best friend"? This is really disturbing. Roy was abused, and now he is acting out this sense of shame on others. If a teacher in the United States found out that a child was behaving like this toward other students, the parents would have been informed immediately. I wonder if teachers in Roy's classes did find out about this.

I submit to you that Roy's interactions were not really "sexual", but rather a curiousity borne out by a lack of wisdom and training, particularly when it comes to boundaries. This kind of behavior is neither normal nor healthy among children. Especially first graders!

Despite the fact that Roy grew up at a time when gay apps haven’t yet permeated the gay scene, Roy was never short of company.

His peculiar trend of engaging in carnal activities with his best friend at each stage of his life was something that would continue right up through to his Army days.

This passage points out clearly that homosexuality is promiscuous. There is little in the way of fidelity or integrity when it comes to these kinds of interactions. Homosexuals have a number of sexual interactions with different men throughout their "tenure" in that lifestyle.

That does not sound like love. That does not sound like a set of behaviors to promote in any culture.

Then Rouy shares this:

"As I progressed from primary to secondary school and then pre-university and National Service, my best friend would change but the intensity of the relationship and the love I felt was the same with each new, unique person.

"The main problem about my relationships with my best friends was that even though we shared carnal pleasure, none of them identified as gay and they all got married to women later on in life."

Roy admits inadvertently, perhaps, but he admits it nonetheless: that people are not born gay. The men he slept with got married and had children later on. A number of studies do point out that women engage in homosexual encounters in certain settings, too, and then marry and have children. Men can engage sexually with other men, but then return to natural relations with women, too. Why would anyone want to disrupt this blessed arrangement?

Earlier in this post, I had asked about Roy's parents. Where were they when Roy was "experimenting" with other boys? Did they know about his homsoexual activities?

Yes, they did.

Born to a Buddhist family, his parents believed in the typical Chinese syncretism of Buddhism, Daoism and Confucianism. Thus, homosexuality was never considered a sin in the household and Roy was free from the religion induced guilt that haunts many other gay youths.

The sense of shame is a natural response. It's not the fault of "religion." Furthermore, this statement suggests Tan's hostility to people of faith. Very troubling.

During his twenties and thirties, Roy would often bring men back to his home to spend an intimate night with. Although his parents were well aware of what their son was doing behind closed doors, they never showed much of a reaction.

Or did they?

In fact, Roy's parents were quite indulgent! Roy shares:

“On one occasion when I brought a boy home for the night and was going down on him in my bedroom, my father peeped through the keyhole to see what we were up to.

“When I suddenly opened the door to go to the toilet, my father quickly stood up sheepishly from his crouched, spying position and walked away.”

Roy's father knew what his son was doing. Instead of doing something about it, he walked away. That is not love. No wonder Roy was looking for love in other men. What kind of father would allow his son to dishonor his body in such a fashion-and say nothing? That's just unloving, to say the least. 

The Bible, of course, calls such parental inaction "hate".

"He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes." (Proverbs 13:24)

Since his parents did not care that their son was so promiscuous, it really shows what little love they had for their son!

The "Dear Straight People" continues with details about Roy Tan's political activism. From the underground gay bars to chat boards to parades, Tan has taken every step possible to promote and normalize homosexual relations. He know serves as the unofficial LGBT historian for Singapore, as well.

Analysis:

First of all, Tan gives away the fact that homosexuality is not a stable affair. The behavior is rife with promiscuity. Second, it's a lifestyle which is demeaning to women. He was dating a women because of pressure, but spent so much of his time hanging out with one of his best friends. His girlfriend at the time was very annoyed about this. Tan recounts:

"She was rather envious of my best friend and would wonder why we spent so much time together.

"She used to ask, “Why do you always listen to him?” I didn’t have the heart to reply, “Because I love him more than you'".

How selfish is that?

But let's be candid here. Mr. Tan offers the argument which LGBT activists around the world are throwing out to the public: that being gay is a civil right.

It's certainly not an immutable characteristic, as proven by his carnal encounters with other men who went on to marry and have children.

The origins of this behavior stem from one who was not loved, not reared to be a strong, stable, capable adult. Just because homosexuals also engage in more noble pursuits (working, recreational activities, etc.) does not mean that 377A should be repealed.

Many people are functioning alcoholics, drug addicts, and even porn addicts. People commit other crimes in secret, and then go about their daily lives in public with little reason for scrutiny.

Prof. Thio Li-Ann, at one time a member if Singapore's Parliament, gave a rousing, comprehensive defense of 377A. Her words of wisdom and caution should be accepted and shared. For the entire speech, click here.

To summarize, Mr. Tan's defense of repeal for 377A leaves much to be desired. The behaviors are inherently destructive, the lifestyle draws individuals into aberrant, destructive patterns. Because the basis for LGBT as a civil right is based on the "born that way" argument, Mr. Tan has no real argument to make for striking down 377A.

San Diego MassResistance Blasts City Council for Drag Queen Story Hour -- No Longer Afraid of LGBT Intimidation

Outraged parents, citizens, children, and even an elected official blast City Council for Drag Queen Story Hour – Powerful testimonies!

San Diego MassResistance confronts politicians who refuse to follow wishes of community

Parents are no longer afraid of LGBT intimidation.

Part 1 of 2

VIDEO: Citizens blast City Council over Drag Queens in their public library. (13 min 21 sec)

On September 10, 2019, San Diego MassResistance brought together outraged parents, citizens, pastors, and others to confront the Chula Vista City Council. They were irate over the Council’s refusal to cancel the “Drag Queen Story Hour” which took place in the city’s public library earlier that day – and the possibility of more such events happening.

That afternoon (as we’ve already reported) MassResistance parents and local citizens had protested outside the library during the Drag Queen Story Hour. They were met by a mob of LGBT counter protesters with vulgar anti-Christian signs.

As in many places in California, people in Chula Vista generally had been afraid to speak publicly against anything the LGBT movement did, no matter how destructive to the community. MassResistance has definitely changed that!

In response, Council Member Steve Padilla – who is openly “gay” – has resorted to calling the parents (and MassResistance activists) haters, anti-immigrant, and white supremacists. Padilla – and also the mayor – were instead supporting the vicious anti-Christian LGBT activists who promote and defend that event. But rather than intimidating pro-family people, the name-calling has served to anger them immensely.

 The five Chula Vista Council members, city manager, and city attorney.

 Council member Stephen Padilla and Mayor Mary Salas stare blankly at the pro-family people who have filled the room that day.

Parents unload their outrage at the City Council meeting

Many people in the Council chambers that evening were waving signs denouncing Council member Padilla and his bigoted attacks on them.  Several came wearing MassResistance T-shirts to make the point!

 The Chula Vista officials aren't used to this from pro-family people!

During public comment, at least 30 people, mostly from Chula Vista, spoke out against the Drag Queen Story Hour program. A number of them mentioned the sex offenders discovered by MassResistance in the Houston program, as well as the Drag Queen in Austin who was exposed as a male prostitute.

Here is just a sample of the testimony (see video above):

 "I'm a lifelong Chula Vista resident. I’ve never been more embarrassed to be a citizen of this city today, to see Steve Padilla leading the charge. I was over with the group MassResistance and I didn't say one thing to [the LGBT opposition]. But they used the Lord’s name in vain to me, and they said sexually explicit things to me, and sexually explicit things about my parents."

 "Let's be frank: This is an open-ended invitation to pedophilia. And when that incident occurs, and if the program continues it will occur, some child who is living a normal, happy life today will be changed forever, and not for the better."

 "I never thought I would use the word politician as a pejorative. I am tonight. Because it was clear that this Drag Queen Story Hour is an attempt to use to use children as pawns in an adult political sexual agenda. Children who are too young to understand, are vulnerable and easily influenced."

 "Those of you on the dais who claim to be Christian: You’re going to have your judgment one day. You’re gaining a political victory – for perversion."

 [Addressing the Mayor] "You have been charged with the high honor of protecting our community. But instead you overstepped your position in the name of “inclusion” and “diversity.” You traded the souls of our children for votes – to a group of individuals who celebrate sexual perversion and satanic practices. Because of this, the people will vote you out of office and de-throne you."

 [An elected official] "This committee lost its minds when they brought the most perverse lifestyle to innocent kids. Shame on you. You will be up for re-election."

At one point during the public testimony the Mayor arrogantly blurted out to the crowd, "I stand by Steve Padilla's side. So you're missing a picture on that sign right there. OK." That only inflamed people more. The very next speaker excoriated the Mayor for those comments. (See video above.) It shows how far out-of-touch these politicians are with regular people.

 Getting the attention of the city "leaders" on the dais.

Pro-family people overwhelm LGBT supporters at meeting

A small number of LGBT supporters also attended the City Council meeting, but – to their shock – their comments were met with derision and boos from members of the audience. Many of them who had signed up to testify decided not to. To anyone watching or attending the City Council meeting that night, Drag Queen Story Hour was clearly an unpopular event which should have never been brought into the library and should be cancelled for good. More important, the diverse team of pro-family activists did not compromise in their opposition to the LGBT agenda, and they made it clear in their testimony that LGBT behaviors themselves are corrupt and inappropriate, not just the Drag Queen Story Hour program itself.

Harassment by the police

It was no secret in Chula Vista that San Diego MassResistance parents would be at the City Council meeting that evening and likely bringing in signs. Before the meeting started, one of the police officers approached Arthur Schaper and told him he could not bring the anti-Padilla signs into the Council chamber.

 The police officer (with help next to him) tries to stop Arthur Schaper of MassResistance from bringing in his signs.

But Arthur refused to back down. He cited California’s open meeting laws that specifically allow signs in public meetings. The officer insisted on searching Arthur’s belongings, but ultimately realized he could not prevent him from bringing signs in and passing them out. Unfortunately, most people aren’t aware of these laws, and unscrupulous city governments take advantage of that. MassResistance educates parents about these things!

Public library lit up in “rainbow” lighting

The Chula Vista main public library branch is across the street from the City Council chambers. Apparently, the city went to even greater lengths to intimidate the pro-family people who came that night. As people left the City Council meeting that night, they saw that their public library was lit up in “rainbow” lighting.

 This obnoxious attempt to demoralize the pro-family citizens didn't work!

But instead of feeling unnerved, our folks chuckled at the city’s lame attempt to show its power over them. If anything, it gave our side more resolve to fight back!

More fireworks to come in Part 2!

Unlike the Left, pro-family people too often show up to complain, then give up. That doesn’t accomplish much.

During this meeting the City Council refused to address the Drag Queen issue at all. So on October 1 and October 8 the San Diego MassResistance parents came back with even stronger testimony! At one point the City Councilors turned and rebuked the parents and crowed about their support for “diversity” over “hate.” That really brought out the anger from parents. We’ll cover that in our next post, Part 2.

Moving forward

Many local residents have told MassResistance they are grateful for the work we’ve done there, and lots of them are volunteering to help!

San Diego MassResistance is committed to keeping up the pressure on the Chula Vista City Council, staff, and the local libraries. They will be informing the public about this horrible program and the politicians’ support of it. They will also be working on exposing the money and power behind the LGBT push in Chula Vista and the greater San Diego region. We will keep you posted on their efforts in the coming months.

     

Please help us continue to do our uncompromising work!

Our successes depend on people like you.

California MassResistance Helps Parents Fight Back Against Planned Murderhood

California MassResistance helping parents stop extremely graphic sex-ed program being taught by Planned Parenthood in junior high schools

Up against deceitful school officials who flout the law and push extreme agendas on young students.

Parents confronting the School Board!

April 30, 2019

At the School Board meeting, parents are not shy about what they are demanding!

California MassResistance is helping parents get Planned Parenthood (and its VERY graphic sex-ed) thrown out of the junior high schools in the Anaheim Union High School District, despite hostility from politicians and a campaign of deception and misinformation by school administratotors.

Our previous success inspires parents!

This began with a previous success in that district. As we recently reported, California MassResistance put a stop to a planned week-long program of transgender indoctrination in the Anaheim Elementary School District. Its 23 schools (with students aged from 4 to 12) are in the Anaheim Union High School District.

Since that report went public, the CA MassResistance team has been getting lots of support – and inquiries from parents across California about how to stop this agenda in their children’s local schools.

Shanda, one of our CA MassResistance leaders, started receiving calls and texts from several parents with children at a nearby junior high school in that same district. The parents told Shanda that Planned Parenthood representatives were in the school teaching the “comprehensive sex-ed” classes. They said their children were coming home with lurid descriptions of graphic homosexual sex, pro-abortion counseling, and other explicit and distressing “instructions.” The school administration had apparently brought Planned Parenthood into every junior high school in the district.

People are finally becoming empowered on this issue!

It’s easy for the district to use the schools to push these radical agendas on young children. The majority of parents in this school district are immigrants, and most don’t speak English as their first language. Many work long hours to make ends meet. The schools were taking advantage of this by pushing the most explicit sexuality programs they could, and making things confusing and difficult for parents. The parents complained to Shanda that, among other things, they were not given proper instructions how to opt-out their children if they wished, or descriptions of the sex-ed courses that they could understand. When they tried to talk to the school administrators, they were given the run-around.

According to Shanda, schools are blatantly not following the California state law, AB329, passed in 2015, which “authorizes” school districts to provide “comprehensive sex-ed” in public schools. Administrators have been telling parents that schools are “required” to include very graphic, explicit, and controversial material. The school districts are making it difficult for them to opt-out or view the coursework. Although “HIV education” is required, and the law is unquestionably written as pro-LGBT and anti-Christian, school districts have much more latitude than they tell parents.

On March 5, 2019, several dozen outraged parents came to a meeting at that junior high school, called by the principal. At that meeting, the Planned Parenthood content the parents complained about was so repulsive that the principal immediately decided to remove Planned Parenthood from that school entirely.

Shanda was also at that that meeting. She spoke with the several of the parents who had come to object to the curriculum. "We all know that Planned Parenthood is in every other school in the district doing the same thing," she said, "and other parents and children are being victimized by it. Something must be done."

There was a meeting of the Anaheim Union High School Board that same evening. Shanda encouraged the parents to attend that meeting and demand that that the School Board remove Planned Parenthood from all the schools in the district. The parents agreed!

Confronting the Anaheim School Board

That evening about 20 parents came to the Anaheim Union School Board meeting along with Shanda. Six of them testified – very strongly – during the public comments section. The Board clearly wasn't ready for that!

Parents lined up to address the School Board about the horrific Planned Parenthood sex instruction (Shanda is third from left).

One mother who has a daughter in the 7th grade (in photo above, next in line to speak) told the Board:

My daughter came to me and asked “what is oral sex.” She said she learned it from a guest speaker from Planned Parenthood. The speaker explained what oral sex is – mouth to penis and mouth to vagina. The students were told how to use a condom. And that they could have an operation without parental consent. The guest speakers brought weird things to the class and said kids could put them on their private parts and kiss them there. And if they don’t like the flavors, there are other flavors.

The teacher told us this is based on California’s education law. But this is not the way to prevent STDs or STIs.

The school has sent a very casual flyer regarding the sex education to parents at the beginning of the semester. But the flyer included only brief information without any details. So parents don’t know what’s being taught.

Immediately following her, another mother (in photo above, second in line to speak) didn't mince words with this chilling testimony:

I am the mother of a 7th grader. My son took health science last quarter and the guest speaker from Planned Parenthood taught inappropriate things to kids who are still too little to understand. My son learned from guest speaker:
- Oral sex is mouth to penis
- How to do oral sex
- Anal sex is penis to anal
- Masturbation; touch a certain place of your body that will give you pleasure
- When you do masturbation, use the lotion for better lubrication
- You move your penis back and forth when you have sex, at the end white liquid will come out from your penis, it is called semen and it is ejaculation.
- Flavors of condoms
What kind of parent teaches their own kids how to do oral sex and masturbation?

That mother went on to what say what she heard herself when she visited the class and sat in during the lesson:

They cover the LGBTQ [issues] on Lesson 5. I don't want my kids to be brainwashed and learn about those things. I heard the Lesson 5 guest speaker in the class say, “There is biological identity but it’s something from your heart and that’s how they feel. Do what makes you happy, you don’t have to be girly or boyish.

The Board members at first seemed unbelieving, even hostile. One said out loud that the second mother’s testimony is “Not true.” Another Board member asked the Superintendent to explain this but got no answer - and didn't press for one. They clearly weren’t interested in dealing with the parents’ distress and outrage, and seemed relieved when the meeting was finally over.

One School Board member asks the Superintendent (sitting under the word "YES") for an explanation, but doesn't bother to press him for an answer. The others didn't seem particularly interested.

Back at the School Board the following month!

So at the following board meeting, on April 11, the parents came back – and brought even more outraged parents. The Board reacted by cutting each speaker's time from 5 minutes to just 2 minutes. That made the parents even angrier.

Outside the meeting one person holds up a "MassResistance" sign..

Parents filling the meeting room as it prepares to get started!

...And making sure the politicians know exactly why they're there!

The parents described in detail how the Board and the schools purposefully keep them confused, frustrated, and in the dark.

This mother tried to email her daughter’s experience in class to the Board members. But the school’s email rejected her emails because of the sexual words she used – the same words the Board is using with the children! Why is that, she asked!

Another mother was upset that the course’s claim that anal intercourse with a condom is “safe” (like normal sex) is medically inaccurate - and should not be taught.

One father berated the Board about the lack of transparency in the school district. He had asked multiple times for copies of the sex-ed curriculum that the school district had the teachers use.

Many parents struggle to make time to meet with their children’s teachers. This parent went out of his way three separate times, and only after the third visit did the school provide a copy of the lesson. Yet even then, the printing was so small that he could not read it! Most of the information was shoved onto other parents in different schools—500 pages!—with little time for the parents to review the material and object to its implementation.

This father showed the Board members what a parent receives when he asks for the course description. A document with print so small it’s almost impossible to read.

This mother, originally from Korea, spoke through an interpreter to relate what her son shared with her. In one of the sex-ed sessions, students in a seventh-grade class saw a video of a woman being raped!

Shanda told the Board: We have a problem, because nobody is vetting this curriculum. The curriculum has not been through a review board. And who are these people coming into the district, and why are you not explaining anything to the parents?

This father said what everyone was feeling: despite the law’s apparent mandate of affirming homosexual relationships, parents don’t want that. So don’t do it, he said!

A fight to the finish coming up

Through all this, the Board seemed … bored. It certainly reveals the perverse and bizarre mentality that elected school officials seem to have these days.

As Shanda addressed the Board, this was their bland reaction.

Most people have no idea what's really being taught to children in public schools today. And the schools like it that way.

But even more frightening: Too many parents don't realize how little their school board members even care that young schoolchildren are being exposed to the most graphic, destructive sexual and homosexual material in their schools. The politicians are much more interested in appeasing the special interests. We've seen that for decades.

But the Anaheim Union High School District Board hasn’t seen what Shanda, a room full of furious parents, and California MassResistance are capable of. More to come on this!

More successes from the Elementary School battle

In the months since Shanda and California MassResistance won the transgender indoctrination battle in the Anaheim Elementary School district that success has led directly to other notable victories:

1. The Orange County (OC) LGBT Center’s coordinator, Laura Kanter, is no longer allowed on any Anaheim Elementary School District campuses. Leadership in Anaheim Elementary has indicated that they will not allow her to promote OC LGBT Events on the district’s campuses, either.
2. As a result of our victory, parents in the neighboring Santa Ana Unified School District rose up. Thus, the OC LGBT Center is no longer holding “Color Me Boot Camp” events at any of those schools. This LGBT Event featured Drag Queens, transgender “role-models,” and different types of pro-gay role-playing and support groups for homosexuality – in middle schools. This was a regular occurrence for the past five years on Saturdays between March and May. Here’s an example of the LGBT promotional events which were taking place in public schools in Orange County.
3. The fallout from this went even further! The Certification program at nearby Cal State Fullerton for  Welcoming Schools program (another LGBT Agenda push tailored for elementary schools, from the Human Rights Campaign) is no longer happening. With no more certification programs available, the school districts can’t implement the program in their districts.

One success can cause a chain reaction. That’s why unrelenting pro-family engagement is so important!
