"It's so heartbreaking to see little kids brainwashed", says former homosexual Stephen Bennett
By John-Henry Westen NEW YORK, April 24, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - In a press release this morning, Stephen Bennett, a man who once lived the "gay" lifestyle and has since founded a ministry to assist people to leave the destructive lifestyle, alerted the media to a video clip demonstrating what he calls first-hand homosexual activist "brainwashing" of elementary school children. The video available on the Internet on Youtube.com follows a Massachusetts school's fourth annual gay and lesbian pride day activities.

The video contains actual classroom footage showing teachers imposing pro-homosexual propaganda on children as young as six. Beyond that the video captures a pre-gay pride day staff meeting where one teacher, an African American, asks if teachers are to tell children whose parents oppose homosexuality that they should nonetheless accept it as a good, to which an affirmative answer is given.

A transcript of that portion of the video follows:

Unidentified African American female teacher: "I don't know what to do about this but, as a school are we saying that kids have to support this? I guess that's what it sounds like to me that we're saying. If a child comes from a background that says homosexuality is not correct, are we telling that child that they're supposed to, this is what you are supposed to do?"

Unidentified Caucasian female teacher, "I think that we are asking kids to believe this is right. Not as a matter of moral principal, but as a matter of, we're educating them and this is part of what we consider to be a healthy education."

Stephen Bennett told LifeSiteNews.com in an interview that he was "horrified" and "had tears in my eyes" after seeing the video. "It's so heartbreaking to see little kids brainwashed," he said.

Stressing that the video must been seen by all concerned parents, Bennett said, "this is what is happening to America's children -- without many parents even knowing a thing. This is a crime against our children. Let the children be children!"

Amazingly, the video, while newly posted on the internet, is a clip from a 1996 pro-homosexual film called "It's elementary". While the first segment of the YouTube clip of the film covers Cambridge Friends School (CFS) in Massachusetts, a second clip covers New York City Public School 87 where similar propagandising occurs.

In the 1996 video, then CFS Principal Thomas Price notes that it is the school's fourth annual celebration of gay pride day.

Homosexual activists have reacted quickly to the publicity of their agenda and have discussed demanding YouTube to remove the videos. The video's seem to have been posted to the internet by a racist and Bennett in his release stressed that the tag on the video reading "faggots" is something he opposes and should be removed.

Homosexual activists have themselves acknowleged however the veracity of the video clips as segments of the film 'It's elementary'.

Youtube has pulled the clips but they are still available online here:

*sigh*...if we could only prevent catholic idealogies and propaganda filling our society and brainwashing our children, then the world would be a much better place.

It is amazing to see Pride Day celebrated at the elementary level. And in Mass... I would have thought California. If parents don't want this material in young classrooms all they need to do is voice complaints with the prinicipal and their local board.

When I was in high school, I was taught sex education. I was taught that sex was something between a man and a woman. There was never any reference to homosexuality...oh my, I've been brainwashed by heterosexual propoganda!!

I'm watching the video's and I don't see any propaganda. They are just teaching children to be tolerant to one another. It is not like they are telling the kids they should all be gay. I'm really surprised these video's were pulled from youtube. Actually I am not convinced they were actually pulled.

In a strange way snfu, tamarin has a point: parents ought to be more involved in their kids education. If you don't like what your kids are being taught, by all means, speak up! It's your job as a parent.

Now, as to this video. . .man, I don't know. Perhaps I'm a little repressed, perhaps I think that a moral education should be handled a little differently, with more grace perhaps.

Don't give the kids a list of what's right and wrong, that doesn't teach them to think. . .give them the tools - instruction in making moral determinations and ethical judgments so they can draw their own conclusions.

Maybe I'm asking too much of our educators.

Having said all of that - a former homosexual! It is to laugh!

They are giving them the tools. It is called sympathy. That is the ability to better understand someone else situation. This allows them to exersize the golden rule. You know: do on to others as you would have them do onto you.

Absolutely. No problem with that. The Golden Rule is a good place to start - unless your neighbour is a masochist and you're not.

But no, the teachers in these videos and as far as I know in Calgary schools today are teaching values - be nice, tolerate differences, the Golden Rule - but they do not teach how to develop values of your own.

No formal code of values can cover every circumstance, nor can it deal with a changing culture - the Code of Hammurabi was an awesome document for a very long time, but practice it now and you'd quite rightly be tossed in jail.

This is a variation on the "give a man a fish and he'll eat today, teach him to fish and he'll never be hungry" argument.

I typically just read threads on this topic now. It seems to me in past discussions revolving around this subject, I've not seen anyone broaden their own view by being exposed to others. But then I myself am biased, exactly because I completely agree with the concept you suggested here:

Teaching the ability to develop values of one's own. Without imposing a particular set of values over and above all others. Yessssssssssssss.... I like it! So I'm wondering... how would one go about teaching kids to formulate their own values while being respectful of others? To date, I've not seen such a model of education practiced. That could be just because my own head's up my... uhhh... I mean in the sand...

again... yes, yes and yes. Exactly why a model of not only tolerance, but a well developed sense of discernment is needed.

Could you please elaborate a little on this? I'm uneducated, but interested.

Can't believe I'm jumping on this merry-go-round again... especially 'cause I'm just taking a break from garage cleaning and other fun stuffs

... I'll have to check back in occasionally to see if anyone's been able to help me broaden my own views.

Ethical skills are not that hard to develop, at least not conceptually.

You know, I've never actually written on how to teach ethics. . .this is harder than I thought it would be. I'm no expert on pedagogy, so I'll just tell you what I've done.

I've been partly responsible for the moral education of five kids now, and what I've done is question the reasons they have for a particular course of action, and encouraged them to question themselves and others.

While having a good answer is important, what I really tried to drive home is the awareness that ones actions are the result of choices, and that it is important to understand the reasons behind those choices.

I have learned to trust that once people are aware of their choices and the reasons behind them, there is an inevitable progression towards greater humanism and compassion.

I also find this is the most effective inoculant to religion I have found. Yes, I have an agenda - and it is based on independence of thought, skepticism and compassion.

That is just the beginning. Here's a good primer on ethical deliberation: The Ethicist by New York Times writer Randy Cohen. He does a free weekly podcast of two ethical dilemmas sent in by readers. Try this: listen to the problem, then pause the podcast. Talk out your solutions with a friend, then play Cohen's answer. I don't always agree with him, but he's very good and he gives the reasons for his decisions. Very educational. Kinda funny too.

As to the Code of Hammurabi - there are pages and pages on the web about this guy and his set of laws, and I believe there is a wiki page too. Worth looking up.

Brain development, especially that critical to the acceptance of ethics, moral duty and judgment, happens just about last. You can lead a horse to water but you won't make him drink 'til he's ready.

You do realize Pangloss, that you personalize far too much. I'm only sharing articles. I'm quite comfortable in my beliefs and, with respect, could care less what you believe.

As for speaking of yourself in the plural, hmmm..rather a dangerous thing, don't you agree

After years of broadcasting and newspaper column writing, I looked back and saw themes in my work. No matter the diversity of the subject matter, my overarching theme became obvious: please disagree with me and demonstrate you are thinking for yourself.

After observing what articles you choose to post, some themes become apparent. I bet if you looked through what pieces you have chosen, out of all those thousands of thousands of stories available, you could see what your themes are.

Or are you being disingenuous?

I do not doubt my themes. You miss my point. I am naturally interested and enriched by articles of a religious bent. BUT, am I aiming for conversion?Not really.

Like everyone, my occupation and personal beliefs forms my interest in what articles I select to read. Not necessarily as an ulterior motive, but an ulterior interest.

LOLOLOL you've turned namecalling into an art form LOLOLOL....

Back to topic - I firmly believe one cannot 'teach' ethics.

One must live them and allow questions as to the 'why' of this and that action.

Actions and opinions must cover all spectrum of thought and deed - good and bad - allowing for change.

One cannot start soon enough.

Children should enter formal schooling with the basic ethics already in place along with language and argument available.

We are not a one-size-fits all species. We should not be teaching that kind of 'communal one-mind' information processing either.

Please do not misunderstand me. Of course ethics can be taught. This is from the Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy (not a bad starting place for phil. questions):



The field of ethics, also called moral philosophy, involves systematizing, defending, and recommending concepts of right and wrong behavior. Philosophers today usually divide ethical theories into three general subject areas: metaethics, normative ethics, and applied ethics.

Normative ethics takes on a more practical task, which is to arrive at moral standards that regulate right and wrong conduct. This may involve articulating the good habits that we should acquire, the duties that we should follow, or the consequences of our behavior on others. Finally, applied ethics involves examining specific controversial issues, such as abortion, infanticide, animal rights, environmental concerns, homosexuality, capital punishment, or nuclear war.

By using the conceptual tools of metaethics and normative ethics, discussions in applied ethics try to resolve these controversial issues. The lines of distinction between metaethics, normative ethics, and applied ethics are often blurry. For example, the issue of abortion is an applied ethical topic since it involves a specific type of controversial behavior. But it also depends on more general normative principles, such as the right of self-rule and the right to life, which are litmus tests for determining the morality of that procedure. The issue also rests on metaethical issues such as, "where do rights come from?" and "what kind of beings have rights?"



As I hope the above excerpt demonstrates, ethics is a system of thought, that is, it is a systematic way of dealing with a question, in this case, the question is "What is the right thing to do or not to do?"

The first idea to teach a child about ethics is that actions have consequences, and that those consequences have an impact on others.

If I take the last piece of pizza, then someone very hungry will not eat. If I was more hungry or as hungry, then it was ok for me to take the pizza, or maybe it would have been better to cut it into two. If I was already full, then I was wrong to put my pleasure before another's need.

Am I making any sense?

"Homosexual Propaganda Fed to Elementary School Children "
Well, what's new? Schools seem to think it's okay to teach "intelligent design" in science classes in spite of the fact there is no scientific evidence to back the hypothesis up. Lunacy.
Whatever happened to parents, friends, relatives, etc. teaching kids about life and schools actually teaching things like writing, arithmetic, math, biology, etc.?
And leaving things like sexual philosophy to colleges and universities in appropriate disciplines?

That is actually,my belief as well. I find myself dismayed with the importance the school systems in Ontario, both Catholic and Public, places upon PC ideologies as the core of their intentions. I find myself the odd man out, for I would much prefer that the curriculum focused on those oddities you mentioned, reading, writing, etc.etc.

I agree with you more or less. That said, what is wrong about teaching kids to love on another?
