What if a science professor talks about preserving the environment, and (shudder) mankind’s role in global warming and climate change?  Our children’s minds will be permanently crippled by this liberal point of view.  What if a health professor talks about contraception and mentions the vile “C” word?  Why they might even demonstrate how to install the vile “C” thing by using a banana, or worse an aroused cucumber. Our children will be tempted to not only try “digital sex” from these dirty digital classes, but sex with other people as well.  They may even teach a class on civil rights and how everyone in our nation should be treated as equals—even those gays who want to marry each other and raise children.  I think the Sutherland Institute has gone too far this time.  Better to go back to pushing vouchers for private schools where children can be indoctrinated with their parent’s prejudice, bigotry, and narrow vision of the world—you know where they are safe and don’t feel the fear of people and things that are different that has been instilled in them from birth.
