Death of Common Sense Ruled 'Natural Causes'

Death of Common Sense Ruled 'Natural Causes'

Today we discovered the passing of an old friend, Common Sense, who had been ill for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since both his birth and death records can no longer be found in government files.
    He will be remembered as having cultivated long standing but now discredited teachings such as:
- No one owes you anything;
- Don't spend more than you can earn;
- Life isn't always fair;
- Maybe it was my fault (and his infamous corollary Maybe I don't know everything.)
    It seems few will miss him.  Critics contend that Common Sense clung to outmoded principals.  "Simplistic ideas like 'adults, not children, are in charge' may be what people believed in the Dark Ages," said one critic, "but society is much more sophisticated today.  We now know that the Earth isn't flat."
   News accounts report that Common Sense's first visible signs of deterioration coincided with results of well-intentioned regulations to 'protect freedoms and promote tolerance' in public schools.  These facilitated much needed new protections such as charging a 6-year-old boy with sexual harassment for kissing a female classmate.  Teachers and student clubs could also now encourage acceptance of alternative sexual behaviors regardless of parents' wishes or the associated health dangers.
   Common Sense's health grew weaker with each new pretzel logic incident. Like when the State required schools to get parental consent to administer an aspirin and also ruled that children who were pregnant.and seeking to end their baby's life through a medical procedure called abortion needed to be protected by not involving their parents.
   His mood brightened when he thought he might have the answer to this paradox:  Perhaps many of these pregnancies were caused by incest and the students really were being protected by not informing the parents?  With some diligent research (almost an entire thirty seconds worth!) he confirmed that 99% of abortions stem from consensual sex and only 1% are reported as due to rape or incest combined.  Common Sense's mood once again darkened.
   One teacher who would only speak off the record said, "His depression really accelerated when sex and gender were determined to be totally unrelated and taught that way to children in K-12 schools.  He said he  he had done his best to serve humanity for a thousand years but now felt trivialized and marginalized.  I think it pushed him over the edge."
   The Superintendent of Progressive Public Education stated the accepted view for the record, "Common Sense obviously suffered from a severe mental illness.  He just didn't like being ignored.  Of course we feel sorry for him but today, it is our civic duty to protect our students from unscientific dangerous ideas like his."
   One friend of Common Sense who spoke on the condition of anonymity believes the final straw came when Tolerance was elevated to the transcendent virtue governing all others.  "I think Common Sense finally lost the will to live when the practice of his teachings became defined as ignorance and hate speech," he offered quietly.
   Political Correctness, also known as PC, was at first thought to be a person of interest in the death.  However, when questioned PC enlightened the investigators that Common Sense was obsolete and did not have the vision of the anointed.  Chastised investigators quickly realized that Common Sense died of natural causes and dismissed any need for further questions.
   Common Sense was preceded in death, by his parents, Truth and Trust, his wife, Moderation, his daughter, Personal Responsibility, and his son, Tradition.  No media accounts note their passing.
   He is survived by four estranged cousins: I Know My Rights, I Want It Now, I Have No Shame, and I'm A Victim.  They issued this joint statement:  "It would not be appropriate to hold a funeral that may offend someone. We encourage condolences for Common Sense to be expressed silently." 


Editor's Note:  Those wishing to commemorate Common Sense should speak-up while they still can.

Teen Trajedy Twisted into Gay Martyrdom

Teen Tragedy Twisted into Gay Martyrdom

With bitter tears barely dry over the murder of a troubled 15 year old boy by a 14 year old classmate, gay activists are already exploiting the very tragedy that their activism in K-12 schools helped create. Media spin by gay activists has already gone out to push for ever more exposure of students to sexual diversity in schools—as if more of the problem is the cure. The GLSTN sponsored National Day of Silence, marketed as raising awareness of “homophobia” in schools, was dedicated this year to Larry.

Diagnosed with reactive attachment disorder, Larry King could not bond with his parents. Taunted in earlier grades for being small and effeminate, in his stiletto heels Larry now chased other boys at school taunting them in the hallways with “you know you want me” and in the boys locker room with “you look hot.”

Last January, Larry started to show up for class at Oxnard, Calif.'s E. O. Green Junior High School decked out in women's accessories and maxed out in women’s makeup. Larry’s behavior is a significant indicator that he likely suffered from Gender Identity Disorder. He told a teacher that he wanted to be called Leticia. Teachers complained to management that his dress was disruptive but were brushed off.

One teacher told Larry to wash off his eyeliner and makeup. He did—but returned the next day with even more. He informed his teacher that he could wear makeup if he wanted: Ms. Epstein, the assistant principal (who was open about her lesbianism among the faculty) told him wearing make-up and girls clothes was his right. Another teacher gave Larry a green evening dress to “show her support.”
While he enjoyed the limelight and the school sent memos to faculty demanding they insure his “right” to sexual expression, Larry’s already low GPA sank from 1.71 to a dismal 1.0.

Brandon, a 14 year old classmate, was a fascination for Larry. Larry would walk close to Brandon, study him, and even claimed they had dated. Teachers suspect there was no relationship but nevertheless Larry threatened Brandon that he would tell the whole school “about them” if Brandon wasn’t nicer to him. Just before Valentine’s Day, Larry asked Brandon in front of his friends to be his Valentine. On Valentine’s Day Brandon sat behind Larry in class, pulled out gun, and shot him in the head. He then calmly walked out of class.


No one blames Larry for his own murder. But, says one teacher, they also failed Brandon. “We didn't know the bullying was coming from the other side—Larry was pushing as hard as he could, because he liked the attention." Brandon’s father Bill goes further: "Brandon was being terrorized," he says. "He was being stalked almost, to the degree of the school should have never let this happen." And while Larry’s father Greg King feels no sympathy for Brandon, even he believes his son sexually harassed Brandon. And, he resents that gay activist groups have “appropriated” the tragedy for their cause.

Teachers were barred from doing anything that might interfere with Larry’s “freedom” of sexual expression...even if he was at risk mentally and physically. “Sexual diversity” was enabled as an attention getting weapon of one disturbed adolescent child against others. One child would ultimately become so distraught that he murdered his tormentor.

Assistant Principal Epstein (who Larry’s father and others say confused her job with promoting gay rights) would be promoted to principal of an elementary school. Mr. King called the promotion “a slap in the face to my family.” He went on to say "I think the gay-rights people want it to be a gay-rights issue, because it makes a poster child out of my son." King is sueing the school system and is not so sure his son was in fact gay.)

Radical politically correct ‘sexuality diversity’ school environments put children at risk mentally, medically, and physically: they actually foster hostility rather than prevent it. Recently, PFOX (pfox.org) created a firestorm just for issuing a press release that reported the well documented increased health hazards of ‘coming out early’ that gay advocates proudly promote. We agree with Greg King, Larry’s father: (In fact, it has been reported that Mr. King is not so sure his son was in fact gay.)

Political correctness failed two children who both needed help. It created an environment where neither child could get the help nor safety they should have been guaranteed. This confluence of tragic events could have been stopped. It cost one life and destroyed another. Protecting and even encouraging “expression” of sexual diversity at any cost blinded some and left others helpless to intercede.


Newsweek reported (see http://www.newsweek.com/id/147790) that for many parents, the question was not whether Larry was homosexual but rather was Larry allowed to push the boundaries so far that he put himself and others in danger. We may never know whether Larry’s behavior was a cry for attention, Gender Identity Disorder, or something else.

One thing we do know: School children are just that—children. Not pawns for political agendas.
