Kate's Writing Assignment

For a writing assignment today, I gave Kate an article and told her to write a short summary and thoughts. I did not give her any other instructions. I am VERY pleased at how well she did, and had to publish it here.

In a school, in the state of New York, there was an “anti-bullying workshop”.  In this workshop, meant for 13-14 year old girls, rather than talk about bullying, they instead talked about Homosexuality. In this workshop from heck, they picked 2 girls from the audience and told them to kiss each other. The girls did not volunteer and were not comfortable with this. Not only did this workshop exist, but the parents had no notification, or permission slip. The people who made this workshop obviously wanted to make sure that everyone would be at it, even the girls whose parents wouldn’t approve! In every school I’ve been in, kids get in trouble for kissing; now suddenly the teachers are forcing kids of the same sex to kiss!

This workshop that was teaching girls about gender Identity was clearly trying to force them to change their identity. This anti bullying workshop was bullying girls into doing things they didn’t want to do, and even trying to push them into believing and thinking things, that I’m sure, those girls do not want to. This workshop has taken away rights, and freedoms. It took away the right for the parents of those girls to know what their kids are being taught in school. It has taken away the freedom for those of the girls who had moral standards. The kids who had to kiss might have believed that kissing another girl was immoral. This workshop has taken away the rights and freedoms of many people, and therefore this workshop has been unconstitutional! How can this be legal in our country? It should NOT!

Here's the original article

I am very pleased with Kate's critical thinking skills. She is my advocate in training.  Some year, I will take Kate to the World Conference on Families.
