Air Force Drops God; Army and Christian Terrorists

When atheists complained that the Air Force Academy oath ended with the words "so help me God," the Academy dutifully responded within minutes to the atheists, and then within a few days, the Academy announced that the phrase is now optional.  However, that wasn't enough for the atheists who said it must be dropped entirely, or they'll sue.

Although, Atheists Say They're Short on Lawyers to Sue ALL Christians

UPDATE 12/19/13: Army & Navy Take Orders from Atheists

Meanwhile, the Secretary of the Army has temporarily stopped all troop briefings on extremist organizations after myriad media reports from soldiers that they were being instructed to consider Christians as the worst terrorists.

“. . . Army leaders [shall] cease all briefings, command presentations or training on the subject of extremist organizations or activities until that program of instruction and training has been created and disseminated.”
-- Col. David Patterson, Jr., Army spokesman

-- From "'So help me God' optional in Air Force oath" by The Associated Press 10/25/13

[Air Force Academy] officials said Friday the words were made optional after a complaint from the Military Religious Freedom Foundation [MRFF], an advocacy group.

Academy Superintendent Lt. Gen. Michelle Johnson says the change was made to respect cadets' freedom of religion.

The oath states, "We will not lie, steal or cheat, nor tolerate among us anyone who does. Furthermore, I resolve to do my duty and to live honorably, so help me God."

Last week, the Colorado Springs Independent newspaper published a photograph of a poster at the academy which included the oath. The newspaper then forwarded the photo to MRFF President Mikey Weinstein.

Weinstein wrote a letter to Academy Superintendent Lt. Gen. Michelle Johnson. Weinstein said she responded 68 minutes later.

“The Prep School poster has been taken down,” she wrote in an email reply posted by the Independent.

From "'So help me God' part of Air Force Academy cadet oath made optional" by Travis Ruiz, KXRM-TV21 (Colorado Springs) 10/25/13

Late Friday morning, officials said they had reviewed the Cadet Honor Oath and decided to make the final clause optional, in the 'spirit of determining a way ahead that enables all to be true to their beliefs.'

In 1984, the Cadet Wing voted to add an "Honor Oath," for all cadets to take and it is administered to fourth class cadets (freshmen) when they are formally accepted into the Wing at the conclusion of Basic Cadet Training.

The Honor Code is a vital part of cadets’ development as military professionals. It also represents a broader aspect of ethical maturity which will serve them throughout their lives. As the bearers of the public trust, both as cadets and as officers, it is the Honor Code which helps build a personal integrity able to withstand the rigorous demands placed upon them

From "Academy makes 'God' optional in cadets' oath" by Stephen Losey, Air Force Times Staff Writer 10/25/13

. . . But Weinstein said nothing short of eliminating the “so help me God” language from the oath is acceptable. Making it optional would not be good enough, he said, because airmen who chose not to say it would feel pressure.

“The Air Force Academy took the cowardly route,” Weinstein said after the announcement. “From our perspective, it still creates a tremendous amount of unconstitutional turmoil ... for anyone who is a religious objector.”

Weinstein pledged earlier in the week to bring a lawsuit against the academy if the religious language is not dropped entirely from the oath.

Weinstein graduated from the academy in 1977, and spent 10 years in the Air Force as a judge advocate general, and more than three years as legal counsel for the Reagan administration. His two sons, son-in-law, and daughter-in-law also graduated from the academy. Weinstein, who is Jewish, said his younger son experienced anti-Semitic prejudice while attending the academy in 2004, after the movie “The Passion of the Christ” was released. He said cadets were being pressured to see the movie. He founded MRFF later that year.

From "Army halts training program that labeled Christians as extremists" by Todd Starnes, FoxNews.com 10/24/13

The Secretary of the Army has ordered military leaders to halt all briefings on extremist organizations that labeled Evangelical Christian groups as domestic hate groups. The shutdown comes just four days after I reported exclusively about a briefing at Mississippi’s Camp Shelby that labeled the American Family Association [AFA] as a domestic hate group.

Last week soldiers at Fort Hood were warned that participating in or donating money to evangelical Christian groups or Tea Party groups could result in military punishment.

So where did the Army instructors get their talking points?

“None of these slides were produced by the Army, but by soldiers who included information found during an Internet search,” Patterson told me.

“The Army does not maintain or publish a list of organizations considered extremist; and after a similar incident earlier this year, commanders and other leaders were cautioned that they should not use lists of ‘extremists,’ ‘hate groups,’ ‘radical factions’ or the like compiled by any outside non-governmental groups or organizations for briefings, command presentations, or as a shortcut to determining if a group or activity is considered to be extremist.”

But the Army does provide a list of organizations that do list groups like the AFA and FRC as domestic hate groups – specifically the Southern Poverty Law Center. And the SPLC is featured in the military’s Equal Opportunity Advisor Student Guide.

From "Army stands down on Christian bashing" by Bob Unruh, World Net Daily 10/25/13

The Camp Shelby episode also drew the attention of Congress, where Reps. Doug Lamborn, Steve Scalise, John Fleming, Joseph Pitts and Tim Huelskamp joined in a letter to the Pentagon stating: “This most recent mislabeling of a Christian organization reflects what appears to be a troubling trend of religious intolerance in the military.”

Tim Wildmon, president of AFA, one of the country’s largest Christian ministries, said: “We are probably going to be taking legal action. The Army has smeared us. They’ve defamed the American Family Association.”

AFA’s [Brian] Fischer suggested that if the “military wasn’t headed by a commander in chief who is hostile to Christian faith, these allegations would be laughed off every military base in the world.”

The Obama administration’s attacks on conservatives date back to just weeks after he took office.

Judicial Watch, a government corruption monitor, said it obtained records regarding the “preparation and presentation of training materials on hate groups or hate crimes distributed or used by the Air Force.”

The teaching claimed: “In U.S. history, there are many examples of extremist ideologies and movements. The colonists who sought to free themselves from British rule and the Confederate states who sought to secede from the Northern states are just two examples.”

UPDATE 10/28/13: From "Army Briefing Labels Christians, Tea Party as Terror Threats" by Todd Starnes, FoxNews.com

A soldier who attended the Oct. 17th [pre-deployment briefing at Fort Hood] told me the counter-intelligence agent in charge of the meeting spent nearly a half hour discussing how evangelical Christians and groups like the American Family Association were “tearing the country apart.”

The soldier told me he fears reprisals and asked not to be identified. He said there was a blanket statement that donating to any groups that were considered a threat to the military and government was punishable under military regulations.

The soldier said they were also told that the pro-life movement is another example of “radicalization.”

Another soldier who attended the briefing alerted the Chaplain Alliance for Religious Liberty. That individual’s recollections of the briefing matched the soldier who reached out to me.

And while a large portion of the briefing dealt with the threat evangelicals and the Tea Party pose to the nation, barely a word was said about Islamic extremism, the soldier said.

Florida Univ. Prof. Says Priests are Full of Crap

The Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights has complained to the University of South Florida that professor of psychology, and behavior analyst, Timothy Weil would symbolically equate Catholic priests to a toilet bowl. In his defense, Weil said, “It seems the purpose of the exercise may have been missed.”

Prof. Weil's projection screen image showed a priest with a crucifix, an equal sign (=), and a toilet.  Awaiting an audience response for a meaning, someone yelled “They’re both full of shit,” to which, the professor repeated the profanity in agreement.

In an email exchange obtained by the Tribune, Weil fielded a complaint from Ken McDonald, a Gainesville behavior analyst who attended the conference, who said he found the example “highly offensive.”

. . . Weil wrote in the email. “It was an attempt to show that through language, we are able to relate a wide variety of things that we come across in daily life — even those things that have seemingly no link such as the two pictures that I had on the screen. Please know I had no goal of a preferred response on the part of the audience ... I only needed to present stimuli that were seemingly mis-matched to make the point about how we are able to relate arbitrary stimuli without much effort.”

The topic of Weil's presentation was “Impact of Rule Governance on Motivation and its Clinical Application.”

Universities are accustomed to dealing with conflicts between academics and religious or ideological advocates and typically give educators leeway in the name of academic freedom.

From "Florida Professor Mocks Priests" by Bill, Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights 10/22/13

On October 3, Dr. Bill Donohue contacted the president of the University of South Florida, Dr. Judy Genshaft, the Dean, Dr. Julianne Serovich, and the chairman of the Department of Child & Family Studies, Dr. Mario Hernandez, about the alleged conduct of Dr. Timothy Weil. He asked them two questions: a) is the allegation true? and b) if it is, what exactly is going to be done about it? He has not heard back, which is why he is contacting the media. Below is an excerpt from his letter:

I taught sociology for 16 years at a college in Pittsburgh and served for 20 years on the board of the National Association of Scholars. I have also written two books on the First Amendment. I have great respect for academic freedom, but I also have great contempt for those who abuse it. There is obviously nothing of any academic value when someone gratuitously insults the adherents of any world religion. Whatever point Dr. Weil was trying to make could surely have been made without unnecessarily offending Catholic sensibilities.

UPDATE 7/2/14: Judge Says Ohio Late-term Abortion Clinic Must Close

UPDATE 7/31/14: Ohio Shuts Down Last Abortion Clinic in Toledo

-- From "State has closed several abortion clinics this year" by Amanda Seitz, Dayton Daily News Staff Writer 10/19/13

Ohio’s abortion clinics are facing more restrictions after the state budget bill banned the clinics from signing transfer agreements with public hospitals. The budget bill also requires women to listen to the fetal heartbeat before an abortion. Earlier this month, the American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio sued the state over the new legislation.

At the same time, the number of women seeking abortions in Ohio increased by 2.8 percent for the first time in a dozen years. More than 25,000 abortions were performed last year in Ohio and 1,101 were performed on women living in Montgomery County.

Ohio Right to Life Director Mike Gonidakis said that Kasich has simply been enforcing laws surrounding abortion and same-day surgery clinics more diligently, driving some clinics to close.

From "Abortion restrictions closing Ohio clinics" by Darrel Rowland and Alex Felser The Columbus Dispatch 10/17/13

A suburban Cincinnati clinic’s appeal to remain open was rejected last week by the Ohio Department of Health. The clinic has 10 days to appeal, which they plan to do next week. Last month a Cleveland facility closed and a Toledo center remains open during an appeal of its closure order.

The Lebanon Road Surgery Center in Sharonville was ordered closed by the state because it did not have a valid transfer agreement — a pact with an area hospital to accept abortion patients if help is needed. The state health director rejected the clinic’s request for a variance, and his decision was upheld by a hearing officer last week.

On Sept. 30, the Cleveland Center for Women’s Health shut down.

[Ohio Right to Life president Mike] Gonidakis said the Cleveland facility, operated by Dr. Martin Ruddock, specialized in late-term abortions. He credited the closure to Ohio’s 2-year-old ban on abortions of viable fetuses after 20 weeks of pregnancy.

“We are gratified to see yet another late-term abortionist shutting down,” Mike Gonidakis, Ohio Right to Life president and member of the state medical board, told reporters. “As a result of this Health Department order, Martin Haskell, a strong proponent and former practitioner of the controversial and deadly partial-birth abortion procedure, will no longer be able to abort children and jeopardize women’s health in Hamilton County.”

As previously reported, Ohio Governor John Kasich signed new abortion regulations into law this past June, which describe each child in the womb as an “unborn human individual,” and bar abortionists from obtaining transfer agreements with public hospitals—thus mandating them to find a private hospital that will enter into a partnership. The majority of private hospitals are operated by religious organizations that oppose abortion.

A news story from ABC Channel 22 in Ohio reports that opponents of Planned Parenthood defunding via the governor’s budget cuts say defunding Planned Parenthood “deprives women of basic health care, especially low-income women who depend on Planned Parenthood for prenatal care.”

But when STOPP researched each of the 29 Planned Parenthood facilities in Ohio on October 13, 2013, we found that not a single Ohio Planned Parenthood facility provides prenatal care. The only mention of prenatal services on the 29 Planned Parenthood websites says, “If you choose to continue a pregnancy, we will provide you with a list of resources to help you obtain prenatal care.”

Lesbian Fired by Ark. Catholic School Wants Apology

Media tout public's demand that Catholic Church change . . .

English teacher Tippi McCullough never discussed her homosexuality with her employer, Mount St. Mary Academy for girls in Little Rock, Arkansas, but when she traveled to New Mexico to "marry" her lesbian lover, she was dismissed for violating the terms of her contract -- a morality code that required her to uphold teachings of the Catholic Church.

"Sometimes adherence to the church's teachings may be difficult, challenging and/or unpopular. We recognize that some may disagree with our actions, and we respect their right to do so."

"I was devastated," McCullough said. "I would never have purposefully blown my life up like this."

Mariani, who is a deputy prosecutor in Pulaski County, said the school is incorrectly applying the morals code contained in its employment contract with McCullough.

The Human Rights Campaign has called on students, teachers and Mount St. Mary Academy community members to stand up for McCullough. One of the school’s students started an online petition asking the school to stop discriminatory practices.

"So many other teachers have signed that contract, and they probably use birth control or have had premarital sex or anything else that goes against Catholic beliefs," Gillian Gullett, a 10th-grader at the school, told local outlet Fox 16.

Human Rights Campaign president Chad Griffin said: 'To fire a beloved teacher simply because she is gay is morally reprehensible.

In their discussion yesterday, "I told her I thought it was unfair, that I was being singled out for being gay." She said Wolfe told her the nun who once headed the school had once escorted out an unmarried pregnant teacher.

[Mariani] said McCullough had been more than discreet. McCullough said she'd never talked about her sexual orientation with students.

No law protects McCullough from firing. Some states and cities have employment non-discrimination laws that protect people of different sexual orientation. But even so, a religious institution citing church teaching would be exempt.

Obama-Schooling Should Begin at Age 18 Months

It goes beyond ObamaCare . . .

According to new research published in Developmental Science, President Obama's previously-announced plan to initiate government indoctrination of children at age 3 or 4 is too late.  The latest study shows that the government should take control of all low-income children no later than 18 months after birth, lest their development lag the more affluent children.

Stanford researchers have now found that these socioeconomic status (SES) differences begin to emerge much earlier in life: By 18 months of age, toddlers from disadvantaged families are already several months behind more advantaged children in language proficiency.

The study, published in Developmental Science, is the first to identify an "achievement gap" in language processing skill at such a young age and could inform strategies to intervene and bring children up to speed.

"By 2 years of age, these disparities are equivalent to a six-month gap between infants from rich and poor families in both language processing skills and vocabulary knowledge," [Stanford associate professor of psychology, Anne] Fernald said. "What we're seeing here is the beginning of a developmental cascade, a growing disparity between kids that has enormous implications for their later educational success and career opportunities."

From "Language-Gap Study Bolsters a Push for Pre-K" by Motoko Rich, New York Times 10/21/13

Nearly two decades ago, a landmark study found that by age 3, the children of wealthier professionals have heard words millions more times than those of less educated parents, giving them a distinct advantage in school and suggesting the need for increased investment in prekindergarten programs.

Now a follow-up study has found a language gap as early as 18 months, heightening the policy debate.

President Obama has called for the federal government to match state money to provide preschool for all 4-year-olds from low- and moderate-income families, a proposal in the budget that Congress voted to postpone negotiating until later this year. The administration is also offering state grants through its Race to the Top Program to support early childhood education. Critics argue, however, that with so few programs offering high-quality instruction, expanding the system will prove a waste of money and that the limited funds should be reserved for elementary and secondary education.

The National Governors Association, in a report this month calling on states to ensure that all children can read proficiently by third grade, urges lawmakers to increase access to high-quality child care and prekindergarten classes and to invest in programs for children from birth through age 5.

Donor Eggs & IVF 'Creates' Life, Causes More Death

Use of human donor eggs has nearly doubled in a decade, according to researchers at Emory University and the federal CDC as published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA).  While thousands of human beings are being 'created' every year by a variety of unnatural methods, for every healthy person born of a donated egg, another is either killed or barely survives.

U.S. women are increasingly using donated eggs to get pregnant, with often good results, although the ideal outcome — a single baby born on time at a healthy weight — is still uncommon, a study found.

That ideal result occurred in about 1 out of 4 donor egg pregnancies in 2010, up from 19 percent a decade earlier, the study found.

Almost 56 percent resulted in a live birth in 2010, and though most of these were generally healthy babies, 37 percent were twins and many were born prematurely, at low birth weights. Less than 1 percent were triplets. Low birth weights are less than about 5½ pounds and babies born that small are at risk for complications including breathing problems, jaundice, feeding difficulties and eye problems.

For women who use in vitro fertilization and their own eggs, the live-birth rate varies by age and is highest — about 40 percent — among women younger than 35.

An increasing trend was also seen in the percentage of cycles that involved frozen embryos (26.7 percent to 40.3 percent) and elective single-embryo transfers (vs. transfers of multiple embryos) (0.8 percent to 14.5 percent). Good perinatal outcomes increased from 18.5 percent to 24.4 percent. (Good perinatal outcome is defined as a single live-born infant delivered at 37 weeks or later weighing 5.5 pounds or more.)

"This study confirms that donor eggs have a high success rate," Myers said. "In some ways it confirms what we already knew. The older you are, the harder it is to get pregnant."

The take-away message for women in IVF treatment, he said, is this: "If the chances of success with their own embryos are low, and if they are willing to consider donor eggs, the likelihood is good they will have a healthy baby." [Albeit, about a 50% chance.]

From "Pregnancy With Donor Eggs: IVF Method Sees Rise In Popularity, Healthier Births" by Susan Scutti, Medical Daily 10/17/13

Throughout the span of years from 2000 to 2010, the researchers noted, the mean age of both donor and recipient remained stable at 28 years old and 41 years old, respectively.

[Donor] compensation ranges from $5,000 to $10,000, with first-time donors at the lower end of that pay scale. Egg donors commonly fall between the ages of 21 and 35 — apparently old enough to legally enter into a contract but young enough to respond well to fertility drugs.

. . . a donor will be hurled into a state of temporary menopause with possible side effects that include mild headaches, hot flashes, and fatigue. After this, a donor begins a new series of drug injections that provide follicle-stimulating hormones and ends with a final injection of HCG, a hormone that stimulates ovulation.

Finally, a donor is prepared for egg retrieval. This is performed vaginally; once the donor has been sedated, her eggs are removed with a needle guided by ultrasound in a procedure that takes about 20-30 minutes total.

From "'Where did I come from?' Donor eggs, sperm and a surrogate" by Anndee Hochman, Philadelphia Inquirer 10/17/13

The story of conception is no longer a single narrative: woman, man, sex, baby. At its most complex, it can involve five individuals: a sperm donor, an egg donor, a gestational carrier, and the intended parents. Not to mention petri dishes, hormone injections, and a good reproductive endocrinologist.

And the number of differently conceived children is growing. No one tracks the use of donor sperm, but egg donation swelled by 18 percent between 2003 and 2011. In 2010, 58,727 babies conceived through assisted reproductive technology were born in the United States. That's a lot of kids eventually asking, "Where did I come from?"

The latest [way to explain his/her existence to such a child] is What Makes a Baby, a picture book published in May by sexuality educator Cory Silverberg. Illustrated with bright Keith Haring-esque figures (a blue egg and a yellow sperm dance together, each dressed in striped socks and high-top sneakers), the book explains conception for 3- to 7-year-olds without referring to family type or even the gender of the "grown-ups" who are making the baby.

Silverberg, who will give the keynote talk at Saturday's Philadelphia Family Pride conference, initially wrote the story for some friends - a family with a transgender (female-to-male) dad, his female partner, and their 4-year-old son.

The ruling puts New Jersey on the cusp of becoming the 14th state -- and the third most populous among them -- to allow same-sex marriage. The advocacy group Freedom to Marry said that as of Monday, one-third of Americans will live in a place where same-sex marriage is legal.

A judge on a lower court had ruled last month that New Jersey must recognize same-sex marriage and set Monday as the date to allow weddings. Christie, a Republican who is considered a possible 2016 presidential candidate, appealed the decision and asked for the start date to be put on hold while the state appeals.

New Jersey's top court agreed last week to take up the appeal of the lower-court ruling. Oral arguments are expected Jan. 6 or 7.

In Friday's opinion, [New Jersey's Supreme Court Chief Justice Stuart] Rabner wrote that the state has not shown that it is likely to prevail in the case . . .

. . . Opponents, meanwhile, said the decision showed how judicial activism could distort the political process.

“The definition of marriage is something that should be decided by the people of New Jersey themselves, not by any judge or court,” Brian Brown, president of the National Organization for Marriage, said in a statement.

Udi Ofer, executive director of the American Civil Liberties of New Jersey, said the best solution would be for the state legislature to legalize same-sex marriage by the end of the year. Advocates of same-sex marriage need to pick up three votes in the state Senate and 12 in the General Assembly to override Christie’s veto by January; in recent weeks, six Assembly members, four Republicans and two Democrats, have announced that they now support same-sex marriage.

From "New Jersey top court rules gay marriages can begin on Monday" by Joseph Ax, Reuters 10/18/13

Superior Court Judge Mary Jacobson in Trenton ruled three weeks ago in favor of gay couples who had challenged the state's civil union law, finding that it unfairly restricted federal benefits that are guaranteed for married couples.

Jacobson's decision made New Jersey the first state to lift a gay marriage ban as a result of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in June to strike down [only ONE portion of] the federal law defining marriage as between a man and a woman.

The Supreme Court's ruling prompted a flurry of court filings from advocates in states across the country.

Next week, gay rights advocates will argue for marriage in New Mexico Supreme Court. A federal judge in Michigan this week set a February trial date for a gay marriage case there.

Jesus Banned from Sterling, Colorado Cemetery

City officials in a small Colorado town told Mark Baker, pastor of Harvest Baptist Church in Ovid, CO, that he was forbidden to inscribe the name "Jesus," no larger than a few inches, in the headstone of his deceased wife, Linda Baker, because other people seeing the cemetery marker could be offended.  After a huge local brouhaha, the City reversed its censorship of religious expression.

“We were in disbelief. Who tries to censor Jesus from a cemetery? . . . At first they told us it wouldn’t fit, but after we kept pushing them the cemetery director told us that it might offend somebody. They weren’t going to allow it. . . . people are so fearful of one name that they would go to such lengths to try and eliminate it.”
-- Stacy Adams, daughter-in-law of the deceased Linda Baker

The family wanted to recognize her wishes by engraving her cemetery marker with the word Jesus surrounded by the fish-like symbol of early Christianity. The manager of the city-owned cemetery [Shawn Rewoldt] said the fish is fine, but not the word " Jesus."

Sterling city manager Joe Kiolbasa tells KUSA-TV the city will not censor any future religious references on headstones and cemetery markers.

The city of Sterling initially backed Rewoldt's decision, but later backtracked after being pressured by the public in a series of Facebook posts.

"This gentleman thought it may have been objectionable to someone because of the Christian connotation," Sterling city manager Joe Kiolbasa said of Rewoldt. "It will be allowed in the future."

"I'm sorry that it took this to do it. But I hope it sends a message," [Stacy] Adams said. "In their misguided attempt to offend no one, they ended up offending many."

[After the denial by Rewoldt, the] family then took their concerns to the Sterling city manager – but once again they were rebuffed.

“He refused to work with us,” she said. “He said he would have to take it to the city attorney. They were being difficult.”

So the family decided to post their plight on Facebook – and that’s when the city had a change of heart.

“We gave them fair warning,” she said. “We gave them time to do the right thing.”

Obama's 'Marriage' Lawlessness: Now North Carolina

Although North Carolina citizens amended their state constitution in 2012 to define legal marriage as one man and one woman, this week North Carolina's Democrat Attorney General Roy Cooper announced his support for same-sex "marriage" and immediately a county clerk began accepting marriage licenses for homosexuals.

“I was frustrated turning down marriage licenses from upstanding citizens from my community again and again. I had a handful of friends come into my office and request licenses, and we had to deny them specifically because of their sexual orientation. And I just didn’t feel like it was fair anymore.”
-- Drew Reisinger, Buncombe County Register of Deeds

Although the 2013 U.S. Supreme Court rulings were INTENDED to allow citizens of each state to define marriage, in fact, the rulings are instituting tyrannical rule over Americans (click headlines below):

Boy, OKd in Girls Restrooms, Harasses Schoolgirls

A sexually confused male student at Florence (Colorado) High School, who has been approved by the administration to use the girls restrooms, is accused of sexual harassment of many female students while using the formerly private facilities, according to attorneys representing the girls' parents. While Florence-Penrose School District Superintendent Rhonda Vendetti has been advised by legal counsel not to comment, the liberal media have been quick to defend the "transgender student" and praise the school for trumpeting "transgender rights" over other students' rights.

It has been alleged that the accused boy uses both boys and girls restrooms at his whim, and that the school doesn't insist that he adhere to a single, consistent "gender identity."

-- From "Transgender case under investigation at Florence High School" by Carie Canterbury, Cañon City Daily Record 10/15/13

Florence-Penrose School District Superintendent Rhonda Vendetti said the district was advised by lawyers not to comment about the specifics of the case because it is under investigation by law enforcement. However, she did release a comment Tuesday to the Daily Record.

"We are committed to providing a fair and equal education to all students at Florence High School," she said.

In 2008, the Colorado General Assembly passed a bill barring discrimination based on sexual orientation, including transgender status. The Colorado Association of School Boards, the Colorado Association of School Executives, the Colorado Education Association and One Colorado worked together to create "Guidance for Educators Working With Transgender and Gender Noncomforming Students" to offer practical guidance to school districts, educators and communities.

From "No Recourse for Girls Harassed by Transgender Student" posted at CBNNews.com 10/13/13

. . . When parents complained [about the boy harassing their daughters], school officials said the boy's rights as a transgender trumped their daughters' privacy rights.

As the controversy grew, some students were threatened with being kicked off athletic teams or charged with hate crimes if they continued to voice concerns.

The Pacific Justice Institute sent the school a letter warning against squelching privacy rights.

PJI is demanding assurances from the school that privacy and expressive rights will be protected and any accommodations will not involve the girls giving up access to most of their restrooms, as has previously been suggested by the school.

From "Girls Allegedly Harassed by Transgender Student In Bathroom, Threatened with ‘Hate Crime’ Charges if They Complain" by Alec Torres, National Review Online 10/15/13

The Pacific Justice Institute took up the girls’ cause, sending a strongly worded letter to school officials in an effort to protect students’ privacy and speech rights. “This is a nightmare scenario for the teenage girls—some of them freshmen—and their parents at this school,” wrote the PJI in a press release. “This is exactly the kind of horror story we have been warning would accompany the push for radical transgender rights in schools, and it is the type of situation that LGBT activists have been insisting would not happen.”

Some news outlets have been reporting that this story is false, prompting multiple retractions and larger controversy. . . . The Pacific Justice Institute stands by its accusations . . .

In the interview [Supt.] Vendetti gave, she said “nothing has actually been verified with [the school]. This is one parent basically bringing their viewpoint about this situation to the media because they weren’t getting the responses that they hoped they would get from the district, from parents of students at the high school, or from the board and myself. . . . We do have a transgender student at the high school and she [sic] has been using the women’s restroom. . . . There has not been an incident of harassment or anything that would cause any additional concern,” beyond the male student’s using the women’s restroom, she said.

UPDATE 10/19/13: From "Transgender boy invades girls' bathroom" posted at World Net Daily

“Details continue to emerge on this in terms of what what kind of comments may have been made. We’ve heard some reports that he’s commented on what girls are wearing or their figure while in the bathroom. If you can imagine that scenario from the reference and framework of a teenage girl, I think that’s pretty harassing,” said [PJI staff attorney Matthew] McReynolds, who reiterated that a boy simply being in the girls’ restroom is ample harassment in itself.

But McReynolds said the goal of the transgender activists is very clear: “They would insist that every school district in America is subject to these same kinds of situations and scenarios because of the way that they would interpret federal laws like Title IX and just general definitions of gender.

“If there were nothing to this, I don’t think the school district would be currently conducting a law enforcement investigation, which is what they’re doing,” he said. “Beyond that, you’ve got to ask yourself, when you have somebody who is acting very peculiarly to say the least, sometimes dressing as a girl and sometimes dressing as a boy, why are we indulging that and making everybody else pretend like that is normal, when clearly it’s not?”

Arizona School OKs Teacher: Pedophilia, Bestiality

The Cactus Shadows High School administration, in Cave Creek, Arizona, initially suspended drama teacher Andrew Cupo after outraged parents complained of a pornographic script their kids said Cupo told them to conceal after a rehearsal, but subsequent to a school board meeting wherein most people in attendance voiced support, Cupo was reinstated.

“I’m a huge supporter of the arts, and with the arts comes discomfort and sometimes outrageousness, and I feel fortunate that we’ve been able to confront those issues with a teacher, and in the future they might not be able to.”

Andrew Cupo had been on paid administrative leave since Oct. 7 after some parents complained about the play.

Students in Cupo's advanced drama class at Cactus Shadows High studied and read aloud an absurdist play in which one of the characters falls in love with a goat.

Scottsdale police looked into the matter and found no grounds for criminal wrongdoing.

From "Teacher returns to Cactus Shadows H.S. after bestiality play controversy" by Jill Galus and Jennifer Thomas, KTVK-TV3 (Phoenix, AZ) 10/15/13

"The Goat or Who is Sylvia" is [a Tony Award-winning Broadway play by Edward Albee] about a man who falls in love with a goat. The play depicts bestiality and incest and contains sexually explicit language.

While some parents were outraged over the play, other parents and students defended the drama teacher at a school board meeting last week.

Cave Creek Unified School District Superintendent Dr. Debbi Burdick released a statement that reads, in part: "The District does not in any way condone the use of the controversial play in its curriculum. The teacher did not obtain the permission of any parent or of the administration prior to introducing its mature concepts into the classroom and the item has been removed from use."

From "Cactus Shadows teacher suspended over play will return" by Mary Beth Faller, The Arizona Republic 10/15/13

The district superintendent would not say whether Andrew Cupo was disciplined but did say that, from now on, the principal will review all plays performed in class and publicly at the school.

She said that besides having all plays reviewed by Cactus Shadows Principal Steve Bebee, “no plays that include suggestive sexual information, excessive profanity, suggestive sexual undertones, or that would be considered controversial in a high-school setting will be used for any reason.”

Last Tuesday, several dozen people attended the governing-board meeting, using the public-comment time to address the board members about the incident.

Many students, including several from the advanced-acting class, defended Cupo’s choice of the play.

Some of their parents expressed anger that the other parents had questioned their children.

From "Andrew Cupo was right to teach sexually explicit play" by Robert Leger, The Arizona Republic 10/11/13

. . . there is plenty about that goat and this play to make one uncomfortable. The language is rough; the ideas slam against convention. It’s not unusual for people to walk out on performances.

So it was an odd choice for an advanced drama class at Cactus Shadows High School, where the predictable occurred. Parents complained. The teacher, Andrew Cupo, was put on administrative leave. Other parents and students showed up at a school board meeting to defend him.

. . . Cupo is doing what we say we want from teachers. He is developing minds. He is challenging his students to think, to examine why they believe what they believe.

The teachers who push boundaries, who treat students as worthy of intellectual challenge, they’re the ones who push their students to excellence.

Moreover, Devaney said, the ACLU-TN willfully misrepresents a point in the U.S. Supreme Court case Sante Fe Independent School District v. Doe case it cites.
