A Stitch in Haste

Quite awkward timing for some California bigots:

At a Los Angeles news conference, Campaign for Children and Families (CCF) kicked off a statewide campaign for parents to exit the government school system. In light of the new sexual indoctrination laws, SB 777 and AB 394, CCF has launched RescueYourChild.org which shows parents how to do whatever it takes to either homeschool or enroll their children in church-run schools.

Take note: "RescueYourChild" means rescue them from this —

SB 777 functionally requires public school instructional materials and school-sponsored activities to positively portray cross-dressing, sex-change operations, homosexual "marriages," and all aspects of homosexuality and bisexuality, including so-called "gay history."

That story was dated February 11.

Two days later, the CCF folks — along with the rest of us — got a not-so-gentle reminder of precisely which children need rescuing from which children:

A student at an Oxnard junior high school shot another classmate Tuesday in front of two dozen other students who were settling into their first-period English class, police said.
...
Some students said the victim, whose name was not disclosed, sometimes wore makeup and feminine jewelry and had declared himself gay. They said he was frequently taunted by other boys and had been involved in an argument with the alleged shooter, an eighth-grader who also was not named, and others Monday.

Did the bigots temper their tone after this stark reminder of who needs protecting from whom?

Hardly:

A 14-year-old California boy is charged with a hate crime as well as attempted murder for shooting a 15-year-old boy who "sometimes wore makeup, high heels and other feminine attire," as the Associated Press reported.
...
Homosexual activists have seized on [the] case.

Gee, I wonder why.

These are the same sort of "children rescuers" who believe Matthew Shepard "had it coming" and that "gay panic" ought to be a get out of jail free card. To at least some of these bigots (and more than they are honest enough to admit), "one dead pansy" constitutes "a good start."

But at least we agree on one thing: Children need to be rescued.
