The Real Purpose of Schools
Schools exist for the education of children. Schools do not exist to provide ironclad jobs for teachers, billions of dollars in union dues for teachers unions, monopolies for educational bureaucracies, a guaranteed market for teachers college degrees or a captive audience for indoctrinators.

Homosexuality Is Contrary to Western Moral Standards
Homosexuality itself is wrong. It’s contrary to Western moral standards and, as shown by the downhill consequences (e.g., deadly diseases, family dysfunction, depression, substance abuse, suicide, etc.), is manifestly contrary to natural law. The whole agenda rests on a foundation of lies. Telling the truth about this corrupt agenda is the best and only way to dislodge its chokehold on society and culture.
If pro-family groups will not knock the hell out of the lie that “people are born that way,” they will inevitably run into the powerful civil-rights counterarguments that homosexual activists have perfected for years. We can talk about the needs of children, but let’s not forget that when proponents of civil rights for blacks and other ethnic minorities fought to end segregation, white supremacists and pro-segregationist forces also argued that they needed to maintain the racial disparities “for the children.”

Make A Correct and Logical Argument Against Homosexuality
The homosexual lobby worked hard early on to shift, shape, mold, and deform public opinion to recognize homosexuality as a benign eccentricity, an innate identity, rather than a personally and societally destructive behavior. The “Children need a Mom and Dad” argument does not confront or defeat those fundamental lies. Weak arguments about the needs of children or the need to protect the rights of others all avoid the harsh realities of the homosexual agenda. By hiding behind “Every Child Needs a Mom and Dad,” the Greater Than coalition of pro-family groups is setting itself up for another failure.

Tell the TRUTH About Homosexuality!!
If homosexual behavior is not inherently wrong, then there is no basis for preventing its growing acceptance. If pro-family activists won’t tell the plain truth about homosexuality, and won’t reveal the fundamental dishonesty of the agenda and its widespread harms, then all the talk about defending “the children” won’t make a difference. In fact, one could point out that arguing for “The protection of the children” is just another form of bigotry, since opponents of racial integration in the 1950s and 1960s made similar arguments!

Private Behaviors Have Public Consequences
Private behaviors do have public consequences. Deviant sexual acts harm public health and public order. Most importantly, allowing license for homosexuality has enabled its advocates to become a militant lobby, imposing their worldview on everyone else, and making everyone who disagrees pay the price.

STOP the Muslim Take-Over!
Islam is not compatible with Western civilization. Freedom of speech, religion, and thought are core to Western civilization. Islam opposes all of them. But it doesn’t matter as long as the West’s globalist leaders act as if their constituents are cogs in a machine who can be replaced by anyone from anywhere, regardless of their culture. In [the game] RISK, as in life, it’s the last one standing who wins. Unless something changes, Western civilization will find itself swallowed up in a caliphate of its own making, and freedom, prosperity, and actual civilization will be but distant memories.

Failed Public Education
At least two generations of American public school students graduated not knowing how to speak properly, reason properly, write or spell. Maybe three generations. World history and geography are unknown in the intellectual inventory of the publicly-educated.
