Minneapolis school ignores mother’s objections – forces pro-homosexual
lesson on second-grade twins
School officials refuse request to reassign children
to another class
Suggest parents remove children from school if they
don’t like it
Against one mothers wishes, 7 and 8 year old children were forced to sit through the reading of “Asha’s Mums,” a book depicting a child with two mothers, and listen to their teacher tell them that he and his same-sex partner planned to adopt a child.

FeLicia McCorvey Preyer, mother of second graders twins, said she met the teacher and school officials before the start of the school year. "I mentioned," she said, "that I did not want my child hearing this information" about gay issues. Preyer said that instead of supporting her parental rights and authority, she was treated with disrespect and even arrogance. "They treat me as if my beliefs are the problem,” she said.
Gena Bounds, a parent of one of the second-graders said, “Now Darriell (her daughter) thinks the school is telling her she needs to believe that two daddies or two mommies is the same thing as a mom and a dad."
When the parents met with the principal, they were told their children could not be reassigned to another class. Principal Laura Bloomberg said the mission of the school is to build "a partnership of diversity, community and technology." She said parents were free to object to the school board or withdraw their children from the school. Minnesota State Statue states that parents have the right to review curriculum and request their children be excused from parts of it.
“This kind of curriculum is becoming the norm, not the exception,” said Chuck Darrell, director of communications for Minnesota Family Council. “Parents need to speak out or they too will find themselves at the whim of arrogant school officials who do not respect their simple requests, such as removing a 7-year-old child from being subjected to homosexual propaganda,” he said.
