Day of Dialogue vs. Day of Silence

Radio Commentary, 90.7, 91.7 New Life FM, April 13, 2018 – By Sue Ella Deadwyler

The Day of Silence was founded in 1996 at the University of Virginia to promote alternate lifestyles in colleges. A year later, almost 100 colleges and universities participated and by 2008 over 8,000 middle schools, high schools, colleges and universities were registered as participants. The Gay Lesbian and Straight Education Network that sponsors the event provides for registration on the Internet.

Sixteen years ago, the day of silence was observed on April 10th in 15 Georgia high schools and five colleges – Georgia Tech, Spelman, West Georgia State University, the University of Georgia and Wesleyan College. No doubt, those numbers have increased dramatically. The goal of the observance is to squelch all opposition to homosexuality, bisexuality and other lifestyles.

Calls to several Georgia schools that year revealed that some knew and approved of the observance; others said students had listed their schools; East Paulding High was on spring break; Rabun Gap Nacoochee alerted teachers that students might participate; and Villa Rica tried to remove the school name from the list, but couldn’t.

Down the Slick Slope

Radio Commentary, 90.7, 91.7 New Life FM, October 27, 2017 – By Sue Ella Deadwyler

On October 5th California’s Governor Brown signed an “LGBT Senior Bill of Rights,” that slaps a $1,000 fine and a year in prison on anyone failing to use the “preferred gender pronoun” of seniors in nursing homes.  While not using preferred pronouns for senior citizens in California could mean a year in prison, the penalty for infecting another person in California with HIV has dwindled to six months.  Does that mean California, finally, acknowledges the obvious connection between those two situations?

The California law is a frontal attack on the freedoms of speech and religious expression BECAUSE sexual morality is defined in the Bible.  The California gag order flies in the face of the Constitution that deals with fact, not preferential pronouns.  People with different opinions are forced to keep their mouths shut or use lip-service to affirm biologically false sexual identity.

The California senator who authored the “LGBT Senior Bill of Rights” said “religious views don’t hold weight in public areas, [and added] …The LGBT Senior Bill of Rights is an important step in the fight to ensure all people are treated equally regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity.”  Please note that his bill is only a STEP toward forcing everyone to use “preferred pronouns” for sexual identity, regardless of fact or age or circumstance.

Skewing the Culture via Education

Radio Commentary, 90.7, 91.7 New Life FM, March 3, 2017 – By Sue Ella Deadwyler

This year the culture changers got a head-start when H.B. 16 was pre-filed and, officially, introduced February 2nd. H.B. 16 is a repeat of last year’s bill about bullying in schools. Georgia’s current law against bullying in school applies to all students equally; it does not categorize students; and its standard penalties are administered to violators, regardless of their personal identity.

H.B. 16 changes the focus of the bullying law by classifying students according to their actual or perceived sexual orientation by inserting a laundry list of alternate lifestyles – gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression.

Since sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression include lifestyles that some people may or may not agree with, there’s a real possibility that negative comments about certain behaviors may be uttered by students K – 12.

This is what the bill says on lines 237 and 238: “Nothing in this Code section is intended to interfere with the First Amendment rights of free speech and expression of any person affected.” Continue reading

Schools, Courts, and Gender-Bending

Radio Commentary, 90.7, 91.7 New Life FM, September 2, 2016 – By Sue Ella Deadwyler

Proponents of radical culture-change are determined to convince Americans that gender-bending was the REAL goal in 1972 when Title IX passed, but that’s absurd! In 1972, no one was discussing gender identity; no one was marching in streets so boys could use girls’ restrooms; and educators were NOT telling students they might want to identify as the opposite sex.

The fact is: gender-bending has never been the goal of Title IX. It was not the goal of Title IX in 1972, and it’s NOT the goal of Title IX in 2016, although two federal departments – the Department of Education and Department of Justice – tried to make it so in their “Dear Colleague Letter” to public school superintendents. The letter, issued this year in May, twisted the Title IX definition of sex to include gender-identity, and strong-arm schools into ignoring biological sexual identity.

That letter included a veiled threat and three specific goals: (a) Force public schools to comply with their new definition of sex; (b) rewrite a 44-year-old law; and (c) side-step the legislative process in Congress. The threat is this: Schools that refuse to comply could lose federal funding. Continue reading
