Minnesota Family Council Action Alert Minneapolis Elementary Schools targeted to force approval of homosexual behavior and reject parental authority. Contact: Minneapolis School District Superintendent Willam Green Schoolboard Chair Lydia Lee Hale Elementary School Principal Bob Brancale And tell them to cancel the "Welcoming Schools" curriculum. Three elementary schools (Hale Elementary, Jefferson Elementary, and Park View Elementary) in the Minneapolis School District have been targeted to pilot the Human Rights Campaign's pro-gay curriculum entitled “Welcoming Schools.”  The Human Rights Campaign is the nations largest and most powerful gay, lesbian, bi-sexual, transgender (GLBT) lobbying group in the nation. The Minnesota Family Council and the Minnesota Family Institute stands opposed to all forms of bullying and name-calling, however this K-5 curriculum: Begins social reengineering in kindergarten by teaching and enforcing pro-gay themes in lessons supposed to address the family, bullying, gender roles and name-calling. Presents a teaching that is hostile to families with a traditional-values position of human sexuality and violates sincerely held religious beliefs. Confuses children’s and sets up conflict in their minds over gender roles, parental authority, and their personal values and beliefs. Children are challenged in their “ideas of what is appropriate for girls and boys” understanding that “for some children, identifying as a boy or girl in order to participate in an activity creates internal dissonance.” Are challenged in their “ideas of what is appropriate for each sex.” Instructed to “create some families with adults of the same gender” using packets of photographs – and told there are “no right answers.” Watch recommended videos including “It’s Elementary” which shows an eight-year-old girl say that she thinks that those who believe what the Bible says about homosexuality are “stupid.”  The girl receives lavish praise from her teacher. Manipulates the thinking of children by continually assessing them on how well they have rejected family and parental values.  Kids are required to answer, “I used to think, but now I know…” Uses a wide range of pro-homosexual picture books and puppets (with lots of smiles and fun activities) to redefine the family, and indoctrinate children to approve of homosexuality and same-sex couples raising children before they are old enough to understand the unhealthy implications of homosexual behavior.
