….This week, a friend of mine sent out an email account of her shocking experience at her local public elementary school’s morning assembly. She is an educated woman, a scholar, and an artist, and her older children are linguists and classical musicians. Somehow, in the heart of Los Angeles, she has raised a Catholic family of devout and artistic children.
Her youngest is 9 and was born with Down syndrome. He is enrolled in a classroom for children like him with developmental disabilities. But his intellectual limitations end at the door to his special classroom; in the school at large, he is subject to the same gender indoctrination the other 5- to 13-year-olds are forced to undergo. Not even a child with Down syndrome is free from learning about the wonders of becoming transgender. After all, this is vital knowledge for everyone 5 and up, no matter their disabilities!
Here is her account. Some names have been changed to protect her from the mob:
Once a month, there is a school-wide assembly to which parents are invited and then a coffee with the principal. I made a point of attending both this morning. I was eager to be part of the Friday morning with my son.
Assembly began with a Pledge of Allegiance and a greeting by the student council. Then, five students and a staff member came to the microphone bearing various incarnations of the “pride” flag and reminded everyone that June was pride month.
Taking turns, the speakers explained exactly what each of the letters of LGBTQ stood for, described the history of the flag, demonstrated various types of flags, and stated that the celebration was all about being kind to others and accepting where everyone came from. All the children there are between 5 and 13. There was applause after every speaker. At the end, the staff member, who I assumed was a school psychologist, said that she was there to listen to anyone who needed someone to listen to their story. In other words, come out to her behind your parent’s back.
Standing next to my son, I wondered how I could reasonably respond to the terrible outrage I had just witnessed. I know the LGBTQ agenda had infested the public primary school, but until now had not seen my son exposed to it. In Leo’s classroom for Moderate Intellectual Ability, the curriculum is completely different from common core. I see his work that comes home; some of it approaches activist preparation but without a clear agenda. Most is about identifying numbers, letters, colors, and so forth.
After the assembly, I went to the room where the coffee with the principal would take place. There were various points he addressed, then he asked if there were any questions, comments, or concerns. After a pause, I raised my hand.
I found myself saying more or less the following:
“Yes, I do have a concern. I have a son here at the school with a moderate intellectual disability. One of the things that I have to work on with my son is self-control. I think most parents work on self-control with their children at one point or another and worry about how their children will control their impulses. For example, when they are angry, we want them to use self-control, and in the classroom, we want them to raise their hand before speaking. When they start to enter adolescence, our children have to learn to control something new: their sexual impulses.”
The principal was nodding his head as I spoke. When I mentioned “sexual impulses,” he nodded even more and said “Mmmm.”
I continued.
“So I was really alarmed at the assembly this morning. At the assembly, there was a group of people whose message was about not controlling sexual impulses. It is one thing to spread the message about kindness. Everyone needs to be kind. But it is another thing to tacitly spread the message that it is OK to experiment with sexual impulses, that students could experiment with their sexual impulses which could lead to damage to their bodies, their minds, their psychology. Especially for my son, who will have great difficulty mastering control over his impulses and has a very low understanding, I think it is unfair to expose him to this. I request that in the future, I be notified in advance so that I can remove my son so that he is not exposed to this message.”
There were some hisses among the parents….

Hell is empty and the devils are here.
No one is spared from their hellish agenda. Hope all you Cal Catholic readers recognize the true nature of the LGBTXYZ plan – they demand not tolerance, but complete approval, which we must deny, totally and unabashedly.
You guys are really in a roll with your homophobic campaign to usurp parental rights.
You’re really on a roll with your cafeteria Catholicism
YFC – Nice try. This is nothing other than a Heterophobic campaign inflicted upon our school children by a belligerent and aggressive LGBTQ cult. Oh, you’re right, parental rights are being usurped and they’re fighting back against attempts at brainwashing their kids by what they see as sexual miscreants. Militants of any kind should not be allowed access to our children in an attempt to influence their nascent sexuality.
The sad irony is that many people who have had a great deal of empathy for those struggling with their identity now find themselves bitter and angry because of the aggressive tactics of these gender zealots.
What empathy?
YFC it’s the Cross or the Rainbow flag…..
bohemond, what is the power of the Cross?
If you cant figure it out after 2000 years you are obviously a troll, burn the rainbow flag
bohemond…you don’t know or you don’t want to admit?
@dont know,,, I know more than you ever will…..the Cross of Christ broke the chains of Death so that our souls could be saved… how’s that..good enough for you
The rainbow people lied from the start. They never wanted equality. They only said that to win sympathy. They want to force submission to gay ideology and they want to recruit children for sex. Legalizing pedophilia as equality for minor attracted persons is next and has always been the goal of the gays and the trans.
Once again, by accusing all gay people of recruiting children for sex, CCD is participating in civil, possible criminal, libel. And it encourages catholics to bear false witness, a moral crime. Publishing it violates catholic morality both because it is sinful in itself and it encourages others to sin.
Here’s to the Muslim conquest of America and chance for us as martyrs for Christ. Islam will handle the syndicate in their own special way…
“You guys are really in a roll with your homophobic campaign to usurp parental rights.” YFC, try as I might, I do not see anything in the first two posts (to which you are responding) that display an attempt to usurp parental rights. These posts characterize the assembly as from the pit of hell, but they do not comment either on the hissing parents or the mom who stood against them and the principal in an attempt to assert her rights as a parent. They are instead, with the mom, inveighing against the concept of sexualizing children, and sexualizing them contrary to the Natural/Moral Law, and thus contrary to virtue. It can be inferred that these two posters think very little of the hissing parents, as do I, but your comment gives the appearance of an attempt to deflect from the central issue the mom raises.
I mean really, how hard would it be to convince a mentally disabled child to agree to anything. Next these lgbt people will be trying to convince dementia sufferers that they are trans.
It’s disturbing how our country frowns on smoking cigarettes and drinking soda but pushes LGBT on kids. They can’t reproduce, so they recruit.
Why are allegedly “devout Catholics” still sending their children to public schools?
Don’t at me with the “we have no time, we don’t know how” BS. So you’d rather hand them over to the demons then?
It is really up to you to instruct your children that we are Catholics and Catholics don’t do certain things out of love for the Lord, obedience, desire for holiness.
Don’t expect a sinful world to do that.
Why can’t we let children be children, without sexualizing and politicizing everything?
But, maybe I know the answer. Maybe it’s the Marxist agenda of destroying family, church, other places of worship, local school boards, private voluntary community associations and every subsidiary organization that “threatens” to influence people. That takes away from the totalitarian power of the state sought by Leftists.
I mean, what could go wrong? Look how well it’s worked out in the Soviet Union, Red China, North Korea and Venezuela. Everyone wants to go to those places.
Alex Jones, InforWars.com, exposed the abuse of these children by pedos years ago. This is one of the reasons the Left Media want Jones gone.
Leave Down Syndrome children alone. They are innocent and pure of heart. God bless them because they are a blessing to their families!
