Music Classes Targeted for Pro-Perversion Brainwashing These days, children are not safe from being brainwashed with the increasingly depraved liberal agenda even in music classes: The Massachusetts Music Educators Association has published an article warning school music teachers across the state that they must provide “LGBTQ-friendly” classrooms or else risk having a “hostile” climate that impairs students’ academic success and mental health. The article, published in the Spring 2016 edition of the Massachusetts Music Educators Journal, lays out a list of radical steps that music teachers should take in order to provide a “safe learning environment” for students. These include: • Incorporate LGBT composers and musicians into the curriculum • Change “heterosexual” lyrics in songs to be “queer” – and explain to students that not everyone is heterosexual. • Use gender-neutral pronouns, such as “ze” instead of “he” or “she”. • Do not use terms such as “boys” and “girls”, or have events where males and females dress or act differently. • Share a list of LGBTQ-friendly resources, organizations, and websites with students. If possible, start a “gay-straight alliance” (GSA) club. • Refer students to LGBTQ-friendly guidance counselors. • Distribute material from the national LGBT organizations such as GLSEN. Become a proactive LGBTQ ally. • Provide homosexual and transgender role models for students. (And come out to your students if you’re L, G, B, T, or Q.) • Display LGBTQ “safe space” stickers in the classroom. Neither Soviets nor Nazis were any more heavy-handed in their totalitarian indoctrination of the young. The article stresses that these methods are not intended just for LGBTQ students, but for everybody. … The author, a professor of music education at U. Mass. Amherst, has written elsewhere of the plan to engage all new music teachers in this queer-theory approach to music instruction in their teacher-education programs. The objective is to create a society in which everyone regards sexual depravity as normal and good, regardless of the horrific consequences for public health (see here, here, and here). If you are wondering why anyone but a Satanist or a sex-obsessed pervert would pursue such a conspicuously wicked goal, just consider what the success of militant homosexualization means for Christianity and the family, two major bulwarks against tyranny. - See more at: http://moonbattery.com/?p=71623#sthash.2WKqJzxS.dpuf

"those fires as evidence of Mannmade global warming." Mannmade global warming is a denier creation, found only in comic books. Evidence for man-made global warming is the rise in global temperatures with the rise in atmospheric CO2 since the beginning of the industrial age. However, global warming is making wildfires worse; and vice versa. .The soot from that fire will land in the Arctic and Greenland, causing more heat absorption, melting more ice. = How Climate Change Is Making Wildfires Worse Justin Worland July 15, 2015 SHARE In a vicious cycle, wildfires are also making climate change worse, a study finds Increasingly hot and dry climates, the result of global climate change, have led to a worsening of wildfires around the world, according to new research. In turn, wildfires are aggravating climate change by killing trees that could absorb carbon in the atmosphere. The study, published in the journal Nature Communications, finds that fire season has gotten longer for more than quarter of the Earth’s vegetated surface from 1979 to 2013. Overall, across the globe, fire weather season increased by nearly 19%. The trend occurred on all continents where wildfires occur except Australia. “Wildfires occur at the intersection of dry weather, available fuel and ignition sources,” the study authors write. “Weather is the most variable and largest driver of regional burned area.” South America has faced one of the most dramatic increases in wildfire numbers and intensity, according to the study. Forests in the region have seen their fire season increase by an average of 33 days. Fires threaten to worsen the deforestation that has already destroyed much of the region’s forest land. And if the loss of forests wasn’t bad enough, worsening wildfires caused by climate change create a feedback loop, the authors note. Forest fires decrease the number of trees that can absorb the carbon that causes climate change in the first place. “When average fire weather seasons are longer-than-normal or when long seasons impacted more global burnable area, net global terrestrial carbon uptake is reduced,” the authors write.... time.com
