ACLU And The Government vs. Parents
An idea of natural law that our country was founded on is expressed in this excerpt from The Second Treatise of Civil Government Chapter VI by John Locke
Now compare the above idea with what the ACLU has claimed about their Lesbian and Gay Rights Project in Kentucky.
But look at their claims. They seem to believe it is alright to harass individuals that are not gay or lesbians.
Sadly their plan seems to have worked and they have warped the thinking of some students as a gay-straight club was formed at the school.
The only reason the ACLU can do this is because the government allows them to. I also suggest you read several eye opening articles by Steven Voigt, a lawyer, which go into natural law and its importance to the independence of America.
Sec. 55. Children, I confess, are not born in this full state of equality, though they are born to it. Their parents have a sort of rule and jurisdiction over them, when they come into the world, and for some time after; but it is but a temporary one. The bonds of this subjection are like the swaddling clothes they art wrapt up in, and supported by, in the weakness of their infancy: age and reason as they grow up, loosen them, till at length they drop quite off, and leave a man at his own free disposal.
Sec. 56. Adam was created a perfect man, his body and mind in full possession of their strength and reason, and so was capable, from the first instant of his being to provide for his own support and preservation, and govern his actions according to the dictates of the law of reason which God had implanted in him. From him the world is peopled with his descendants, who are all born infants, weak and helpless, without knowledge or understanding: but to supply the defects of this imperfect state, till the improvement of growth and age hath removed them, Adam and Eve, and after them all parents were, by the law of nature, under an obligation to preserve, nourish, and educate the children they had begotten; not as their own workmanship, but the workmanship of their own maker, the Almighty, to whom they were to be accountable for them.
Now compare the above idea with what the ACLU has claimed about their Lesbian and Gay Rights Project in Kentucky.
In today’s motion for summary judgment, the ACLU Lesbian and Gay Rights Project and the ACLU of Kentucky asked the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky to rule that schools can require all students to attend anti-harassment training regardless of their personal beliefs about gay people
But look at their claims. They seem to believe it is alright to harass individuals that are not gay or lesbians.
“We agreed that portions of Boyd County’s anti-harassment policy went too far, and we’ve worked with ADF and the school board to create a new policy that protects students’ speech while still allowing the school to protect lesbian and gay students from harassment,” said James Esseks, Litigation Director with the ACLU’s national Lesbian and Gay Rights Project. “Preventing harassment doesn’t need to interfere with free speech. In fact, harassment is less likely to occur in schools where everyone’s ideas can be freely and respectfully discussed.”
Sadly their plan seems to have worked and they have warped the thinking of some students as a gay-straight club was formed at the school.
A new lawsuit was brought by an anti-gay legal organization, which claims that the training and policy violate the religious freedom and free speech rights of students who are opposed to it. The ACLU, representing some of the former students who had formed a gay-straight alliance (GSA) club at Boyd County High School, joined the lawsuit to help defend the school’s ability to conduct the training and to support all students’ free speech rights.
The only reason the ACLU can do this is because the government allows them to. I also suggest you read several eye opening articles by Steven Voigt, a lawyer, which go into natural law and its importance to the independence of America.
