Not that we aren’t all aware of the liberal push to have the gay agenda forced into our schools and homes whether we like it or not, Voice of Liberty Podcast Network has a report on it’s slow steady infection that the MSM will NEVER let slip out.

I believe in live and let live, but keep it to yourself.  But you liberal gays out there don’t understand that do you?   TRM…

The story of an Illinois high school making a gay pornographic play required reading for seniors has been reported since March 7th, but it has been ignored for the most part with only a handful of news outlets having taken on this issue. The fact that a public high school that requires such reading doesn’t raise a fuss in the media shows how the media supports the gay agenda, of course.

The book, "Angels in America: A Gay Fantasia on National Themes," has numerous passages that describes gay sexual encounters in exacting, sometimes violent, detail.

AS IF GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS WEREN’T DUMB ENOUGH ALREADY

Denver, Colorado has decided to dumb down what already is a government education. Denver Government Schools decided that its talented and gifted program wasn’t diverse enough. So in order to "correct" this problem, it has decided to give minority and poor students extra credit in order to qualify them as highly gifted. Yes … you heard me right. Since there aren’t enough minority and poor students in the gifted programs, the government is just by God going to declare some minority and poor students as gifted anyway .. and then shove them right into the gifted program.

In a district that is mostly Latino, the gifted program drew mostly white students. The program used to rely on oral tests to measure the student’s reasoning and IQ. But some educators complained that these tests are biased against students who didn’t learn English as their first language and poor students who haven’t had "the same life experiences as their richer peers."

I feel a tear coming on.

Vikki Reyes has had it with Locke High, the school her daughters attend in the Watts neighborhood of Los Angeles. She walked in on class one day and recalls “the place was just like a zoo!” Students had taken control, while the teacher sat quietly with a book.

Frank Wells has also had it with Locke High. When he became principal he says gangs ruled the campus. He tried to turn things around but ran into a “brick wall” of resistance from the school district and teachers union.

Locke seemed destined to languish in high crime and low test scores until Wells, Reyes, and many reform-minded teachers joined with a maverick named Steve Barr in an attempt to break free from the status quo. Their battle is just one example of the charter school education revolt that’s erupting across the nation.
