40 days of pro-evil prayer

Wow. Sometimes Satan indulges in jaw-dropping capers.
I’m looking at a brochure from Six Rivers Planned Parenthood in Eureka, Calif. On it is an announcement from Humboldt County Clergy for Choice: “We are religious leaders who value all human life.” The flyer, for “40 Days of Prayer,” lists prayers such as: “Day 34: Today we give thanks for abortion escorts who guide women safely through the hostile gauntlets of protesters.” And “Day 38: Today we pray for a cloud of gentleness to surround every abortion facility.”
This is not a sick April Fools’ Day joke. The campaign continues through April 27 and includes gatherings celebrating “reproductive rights.” The prayers evidently come from a “voice for reproductive justice,” Faith Aloud, located in St. Louis. I learned about this from the legal group Liberty Counsel, which noted that “Planned Parenthood’s attempts to develop a ‘spiritual’ aspect to the pro-abortion argument can seem comparable to the religious leaders in Germany who supported Adolf Hitler and the Nazis. It was wrong then and it is wrong now.”
Imitation is flattery, I suppose, and Planned Parenthood is recognizing the effectiveness of “40 Days for Life,” where prayer and pro-life effort has led to the closing of 22 abortion clinics, according to Liberty Counsel.
Other prayers during Planned Parenthood’s 40 days: “Day 4: Today we pray for the doctors who provide quality abortion care, and pray that they may be kept safe. … Day 5: Today we pray for medical students who want to include abortion care in their practice. May they receive good training and find good mentors. … Day 40: Today we give thanks and celebrate that abortion is still safe and legal.”
Safe for whom? Humboldt Clergy for Choice does not recognize the children killed by abortion. These children have no choice.
The Day of Silence, which is sponsored by the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN), fast approaches. This year it will take place in most public schools on April 20, 2012. On this day, thousands of public high schools and increasing numbers of middle schools will allow students to remain silent throughout an entire day – even during instructional time – to promote GLSEN's socio-political goals and its controversial, unproven, and destructive theories on the nature and morality of homosexuality.
Parents must actively oppose this hijacking of the classroom for political purposes. Please join the national effort to reclaim a proper understanding of the role, and limits of public education. Help de-politicize the learning environment by calling your child out of school if your child's school allows students and/or teachers to refuse to speak during instructional time on the Day of Silence.
If they celebrate the Day of Silence at my school, I will more than make up for any kids who decide to be quiet that day. I'll make sure I am whistling the Mayberry Theme as I walk up and down the hallways.

A parent is nuts to allow their kid to be publically educated, imo.
I remem being assigned a story about incest being ok in like 9th grade-
no other redeeming value in the story. Didn't realize until years later
why the teacher was so stressed that day...

Well I don't! At the time I was like 14,
and no warning of the subject matter
of the story was given, or anything.
I don't mean to imply that it kept me awake at night,
or anything-but it was sure incongruous, I thought,
with 8th grade public ed.
My mother fought the school system that she worked for over a very detailed sex ed course for elementary school students in the state of Texas. Her work was not well liked, but they dropped that particular curriculum.

My "incident," one of several, happened in Houston.
We have home schooled 2 and are on number 3.
Most public schools are full of educated idiots, these days.
And this is from someone whose mom was a teacher and who has a sister in law who is a teacher,
