Richmond Public Education: Reading, Writing, and Sodomy

December 6, 2005

The children of Richmond Virginia are all part of a grand experiment.

There was a time when those in the education system were held to a high standard. An individual who lived a filthy double life would be thrown out as soon as his dirty deeds were made known. Not so today. Today, in our enlightened society, we just debate whether one who seeks to sodomize or to be sodomized by strangers, should remain as the Chairman of the School Board.

The Richmond School Board has failed our children on so many levels. As our sons and daughters grapple with the important questions of life and seek to understand what is true and right, those who have been entrusted with their education play politics. Steve Johnson, the Chairman of the School Board, admits to posting his shirtless photo on a sodomite dating website.

According to Jimmy Barrett of WRVA's Richmond's Morning News:

The web site, "may be described...as a male dating site, but it's much more than that! This is not e-harmony.com ya'll! This site is GRAPHIC! Filled with graphic nude photographs and even more graphic descriptions of sexual preferences. These people aren't asking about favorite movies and food!They're not trying to find you a "soul mate." It's PORN pure and simple. Compared to everything else on the site, Johnson's photo was no big deal, barechested is all. We didn't get a chance to read about his preferences before the ad was withdrawn, not that we want to know. What we really want to know is what is going to happen next? Should a school board member be allowed to continue when they show this kind of judgement...Especially when their job is to help chart the future of public school children?"

Has Mr. Johnson been forced to resign from the School Board? Why is he still entrusted with the education of our children?

As I said, our children are all a part of a grand experiment. The goal of this experiment is to see how far one can go with the education of young children without being constrained with such matters as morality, values, propriety, and virtue.

The experiment has been successful in one point. This experiment has proven
why homeschooling is such a good decision for parents who have concern for the well-being of their children.
