A Washington D.C. mother has filed a complaint with D.C. Public School chancellor Michelle Rice over her seven-year-old daughter's "loss of innocence."
The sudden loss supposedly came sometime after Margaret C. Hemenway's daughter's first grade teacher at Tenleytown’s Horace Mann Elementary school announced that she was getting married to a woman. It’s not clear as to whether the loss of innocence came at that exact moment or sometime afterward, when the teacher encouraged the students to ask questions. It also could have happened during a reading of “Uncle Bobby's Wedding” which tells the story of two gay guinea pigs who get married.
Hemenway was quick to post her story on Parents and Friends Of Ex-gays (PFOX):
Our first-grader astonished her father at the end of the past school year as he dropped her off at our local Washington DC public school, Horace Mann Elementary, where he had attended school in the early 60s. She relayed to him that her teacher announced her impending marriage—to another woman—to the class. Following her revelation, this teacher encouraged questions from the children.
Our daughter also mentioned a book the teacher read aloud, “Uncle Bobby’s Wedding,” about two male “gay” guinea pigs, promoted by the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual Transgender Lobby for children. Since homosexual activists cannot reproduce their own children, recruitment to their cause (especially at a young age, before parents have raised such sensitive and controversial topics with their children) is essential to the political agenda of promoting homosexuality and “gay” marriage.
Hemenway is requesting an investigation.
Schools in Washington D.C. have faced more than their fair share of challenges and have teetered between being the worst and close to the worst schools in the country for the last few years. In September is was reported that D.C. schools would have to trim $44 million from their budgets leading to larger class sizes and many lay-offs.
Yet somehow a teacher announcing her impending nuptials seems to be worth the time and money it could potentially cost an already struggling district. Bravo to Margaret C. Hemenway for putting her own insecurities and ignorant tendencies above the general-well being of her child’s school.
