December in green seems right..lots of tinsel and evergreen on the windows..such a pretty time of year..

Free speech is really on trial you know in the Parker Wirthlin Lex Schools case this week at the Circuit Moakley Courthouse.. even for our dear sweet little ones we love to lavish with presents this and every year are in trouble and learning the power of speech controls. 

People want to divide the issue here and call it a religious battle of the sexes et al but it is really about free speech in my perspective.  We have the right to discuss all information but appropriately.  We are stewards of these little ones and want them to grow up with a conciousness of principles and the ability to think clearly.  Thus a wise approach to the introduction to sexual ideas is really called for.

I support the Parkers and Wirthlins.  I remember my own disgust at public education in my own youth.  The teachers were like automotoms.  They like objectives to follow and not cut off the path.  So if the objective is the queering of education than to go off the path is not computable in their brains.  They have a plan and it will be carried out.  To ask them to make exceptions to the rule they made up is not practical to them.  But to have to do damage control every day and probe your children for what they are being told is not practical either so who wins here.

I hope the schools will stick to the role they are hired for to teach reading and writing  in the first place stop violating parents rights to control information in primary grades as they screen teach on a day to day basis their own  fallback information from the fallout as normal not this new added new religious adgenda.. It is deplorable that schools consider it their right to implement this change and not provice necessary discussion by the community at large ..If they want so much to abhore religion then why are they picking one over the other..as one religion is being supported in tax dollars and another is being absconded..It should not be coming up at all..it is not the states business..

They need to be videotaped maybe..how about that one ..I like that..then parents could watch their children on Tv....and make sure the schools are not teaching strange doctrines..to their children without their permission.  Maybe running a video when the topic comes up would be good for parents to see what is being taught..and when..  Practically they should stop and not cause all the community to pay for this..extra information no one wants in the schools.

Let's go back to the amendment to stop Gay marriage..that was shown to have public support and yet it was ignored..so is this any different that they want to brand the kids with the new adgenda without any recourse but to pull the kids??

What about people who have no kids and do not want this stuff taught ever..???
Not on thier dollars???? They have rights too??? OR are they also numbed and dumbed by the schools..???

Schools are funded by tax dollars each and every working citizen contributes to that..in a priivate school you have control because you pay..why not the state..we pay..we have no rights?  ..I wanna thank you.. This is a huge discrepency in our government. 

I remember learning about holidays why not remove them all even halloween which is a religious holiday..that should go and a lot of goth will go with it..Why not dress code the kids and prevent a lot of sexual deviancy from the dress codes factor..com on...this is not big edacated stuff it is mind boggling why the school cannot or will not see the handriting on the walls..all over town.even ..

We do not need a ban on religion to stop sexual perversion we need to respect  it as the bastion of innocence.  If they have failed it is not religion it is the deviancy from it..that has failed to bring it the respect if requires.  Lest I preach we are in need of wisdom and wisdom starts with fear of God.  So where is the line in education.  It lies in the Constitution.  This is the final line of defense and offense at those who would strip religion and its followers of their right to raise their children in proper moral teachings and be accountable to our Maker and to the community. To pick on an upstanding family who has religion and force someones doctrines on them is irreverent and unsconstitutional.

today I was taping and after decided to distribute my card to some offices.  I also, wanted to make requests to tape tomorrow.  I visited Children and Families, who gave a yes with a request to email in..then I ended on the first floor at the Committee for Labor and Workforce Development..who are having a joint meeting with Children and Families.  They have given me a no on taping several times and so I wanted to let them know  I was given a yes from Children and Families.  So it became the story of the day to fight for free speech. Neither committee are user friendly..but victory is sweeter when the power struggle is longer may I add..so we will just let that go won't we.  Anyway the hearing will be taped by House Broadcast.  So we can see it anyway and it should be a good one so keep watching..the link will show up on site when it happens.. 

Then I strolled upstairs to Homeland Security another committee that thinks the information will get into the wrong hands to find they had a hearing today.  And guess what.  I knew it but in the confusion of taping three events I found I had forgotten.  I had picked up the 428 flyer and it was not in there.  Also the blue mass gov screen did not have it either.  So later found out even the docket room did not know.  But I alerted a few cops and they hunted it down.  So the decision by the Statees was a strange move to ignore the posting of the Hearing in a proper way.  I have caught many errors but this one seems a little strange to say indeed. It seems the information of public access to public meetings is not respected by Committee.  So .is there a coooooo or something..up there??  When I asked the receptionsit if there was a meeting she said there was one today and I told her there was no notice anywhere..then told the Senate Clerks office who said it was the house fault and the docket office who said the committee was at fault..and whatever..the fault is the public was not informed..State house news is the inner belt and does not get posted anywhere without paying a steep price..so ..much for steely investigative reporting... The Senate Clerk had the notice posted with a date up of September 26, so the 48 hour notice was in force but who knew really if they were not policing the Clerks office..?

A Shield for the Public

From New York Times, September 20, 2007


For freedom of the press to be more than a promise and for the public to be kept informed about the doings of its government, especially the doings that the government does not want known, reporters must be able to pursue the news wherever it takes them. One of the most valuable tools they have is the ability to protect the names of confidential sources — people who provide vital information at the risk of their jobs, their careers and sometimes even their lives.

That is why it is so important for Congress to finally pass a federal shield law for journalists and why we commend Senators Arlen Specter, Republican of Pennsylvania, and Charles Schumer, Democrat of New York, for a compromise bill designed to achieve passage.

The bill would create a qualified privilege, which is what this newspaper and other news organizations have sought, not an absolute protection against revealing a source’s name under any conceivable circumstance.

The new measure does not contain everything we would have liked. The shield for sources in the sphere of national security is weaker than in a bill approved by the House Judiciary Committee in August and an earlier proposal by Senators Richard Lugar, Republican of Indiana, and Christopher Dodd, Democrat of Connecticut.

Under the new bill, in order to compel disclosure of a source, the government would have to show that withholding the information is necessary to prevent a specific act of terrorism against the United States or would create “significant harm to national security” that outweighs the public interest in maintaining the flow of information. That is a broad standard and much will depend on judges exercising care to ensure that the government meets its burden to prove that the alleged harm to national security is real.

However, some tweaking was necessary to reassure hesitating senators that the bill would not permit journalists to withhold information that is truly necessary to protect the United States.

The compromise has the support of dozens of news organizations, including The New York Times Company. Having worked for months to achieve this accord, Senators Specter and Schumer, and the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Patrick Leahy of Vermont, must do everything in their power to make sure that there is no further watering down of the protection for reporters and the whistle-blowers, or other insiders who will not speak without a pledge of confidentiality.

Passage of a federal shield law would be a major achievement. Some 32 states and the District of Columbia have such laws, and 17 other states have recognized a reporter’s privilege to maintain the confidentiality of sources through judicial decisions. Prosecutions have not suffered, and it is past time for Congress to act.

In fact, a virtue of the Specter-Schumer bill is that it removes any excuse by lawmakers to avoid taking a step vital for the press’s ability to report, so the public can exercise its right to know what government is doing and to make informed judgments.
