These Geniuses Don't Like Us

Ah, this is refeshing. Last week a federal judge ruled against the curriculum. It was a hasty thing, whatever, we lost.

I could be sitting around moping, I guess.

But how can anybody mope, when there's bright shiny stuff like this around? A blog, rather decently named Republicans and Conservatives for America, has decided that, well, they've decided they don't like us.

Ah, see? I feel better already.

Listen to the cheerful, thoughtful things they say:

Have you read the news? Homosexuality is perfectly normal. It's a fact. That is what the founders of "TellTheTruth.org" would have you believe. And the right wing, conservative agenda is preventing them from teaching it in our schools! Judge's Ruling Against Sex-Ed Program Grabs National Eye

Man, you gotta admit, these Republicans and Conservatives for America really do their homework, don't they? They even got our name ... uh ... did they mean us?

It becomes apparent that they did.

According to TellTheTruth.org… "Across the nation and in our own back yard, religious extremists are attempting to impose individual religious beliefs on all of our children, and to dictate what our children learn about themselves, their bodies, and about the people around them."

This quote was in response to a judge's order on Thursday evening to halt a new public school sex-education curriculum. These people are sick, no mincing words here. According to them it is their right to impose a sexually perverted and anti-religious doctrine on our children at an age when most of them still can’t keep their shoes tied for a full school day. Don't people of faith pay taxes like the pagans?

Woo-hoo! Republicans and Conservatives for America roll a perfect strike. All the pins are flyin' everywhere! Have another root beer, fellers. Us sick, anti-religious perverts are shamed -- shamed, I tell you! O, this is my worst moment.

In case you didn't come in through our home page, that quote appears over there, and has been there since probably last December. We (TellTheTruth.org) have an uncanny way of responding to things months before they happen. That's why we're all rich. We just invest in the market the way it's going to be in a few months, and then just sit around and wait, and then count all our money. This is s-o-o-o-o easy, I can't tell you.

I'll even admit -- I knew a long time ago that Republicans and Conservatives for America were not going to like me. Months ago, if you'd asked me, I could've told you.

"This has national significance because Montgomery County is a wealthy, influential school district and the lid has been ripped off an agenda that has crept into schools nationwide," said Robert Knight, director of the Culture & Family Institute, an affiliate of the conservative organization Concerned Women for America.

Yes, Robert Knight, we know him. We heard him speak. If you call it that.

He's quoted here because he's an expert, and a concerned woman, apparently.

This shows that parents, even in a very liberal area, can fight back and win," Knight added, noting that he knew of no other case in the country where a sex-ed program has been restrained by a federal judge."

I applaud the people of Montgomery County and thank them for their diligence. The concept of making this deviance a norm in today’s society (any more than has already become acceptable) must be quelled.

OK, people, there it is: Republicans and Conservatives for America have issued their ultimatum. Making this deviance a norm in today's society (any more than has already become acceptable) must be quelled. Cuz, y'know? The amount that has already become acceptable is just about the right amount of deviance. Like, I think too much deviance can be a bad thing, don't you? But this amount ... perfect for Republicans and Conservatives for America.

--OK, hold it. One word. Some people are thinking this judge's ruling is the end of this. No, it's not -- it may be a learning experience for some of us, and especially I am hoping that MCPS' lawyers are staying up late going back over their notes and figuring out how they let this one get away from them.

We need to look carefully at the teacher resources, that is clear, and at any other thing that the extremists will find to pick at in order to advance their agenda. But this county ain't flippin' over quite that easy. And if these guys think they're going to dog-pack us to death with this inanity, they'd better think twice. Cuz we're gonna have a whole lotta fun before this game's over.
