You've no doubt seen the rainbow pride flag, with the familiar design of the rainbow, taken from its original meaning of God's promise to never again wipe out mankind with water, used to represent homosexuals.
Pride flags have become more and more of a familiar sight in your child’s government school classroom.
And Texas Family Project wants to know why. Brady Gray is president of the family-focused nonprofit.
He said it's kind of like a sign of the times.
"I think the simple answer to why they're after kids is that is who are the most impressionable. That's who they can most easily indoctrinate. That’s how you change a nation. You want to change a nation, you start with the youth, and you begin to indoctrinate the youth into your way of thinking, then you set yourself up for a very long road ahead here on these people moving legislation and moving culture and everything else."
Gray thinks that is how we have gotten to where we are today.
Texas Family Project calls for removal of flags
He thinks this is a path that the Left would like us to be on as a nation and a path that he said Texas Family Project largely exists to make sure we get off of.
“You know, we're eager to see some legislation passed to remove these, to remove them out of schools, to remove them out of government buildings. There is absolutely zero justification on any level for why there should be flags that represent the way you would like to engage with another adult sexually flown inside of schools or flown inside of government buildings. There's no logic to it."
Texas Family Project pointed out in an article that children are reading below grade level, math scores are falling, and violent incidents in classrooms have happened more often. All while many schools place extra emphasis on "educating" children about "sexual perversions.”
While it's colorful, it's really all about sexuality
Mary Elizabeth Castle, director of government relations for Texas Values, says the pride flag – being all about a viewpoint and representing sexuality – should not be forced on students.
"It's a sexual topic and it shouldn't be discussed in the classroom," she tells AFN. "And especially [it] shouldn't be taught in a way or expressed in a way where they're pushing it on other students, especially students of faith."
According to Castle, Texas Values continues working on legislation to ensure topics such as sexual orientation and gender identity are nowhere in the classroom.
"… But the pride flag – as much as it's colorful and people say it's just about 'being who you are' – we know at the heart of it, it really is about sexuality and … expressing those views that really shouldn't be in the classroom, especially when they're just trying to teach reading, writing, and arithmetic."
Castle explains her organization was successful in getting "In God We Trust" in public-school classrooms across Texas. Her team is still working on getting the Ten Commandments in as well.
"The Ten Commandments are the basis of our morality, and they actually have legal significance in our country. They have much more of a place in the classroom than a pride flag," she adds.
