1. Major national gay groups, ACLU, and others file brief in federal court opposing David Parker's civil rights lawsuit on indoctrinating homosexuality in elementary school.

2. Days earlier: David Parker's lawyers file powerful rebuttal defending his right to bring federal civil rights lawsuit - in answer to motion to dismiss by defendants.
 


Background on David Parker issue:

David Parker was arrested and jailed in Lexington, Massachusetts in April 2005, over his request - and the school's refusal - to notify him when adults discuss homosexuality or transgenderism with his 6-year-old kindergartner, despite state law which requires parental notification. The incident made national news, with even Gov. Mitt Romney agreeing with Parker. Then in March 2006, the same school presented the book "King and King", about homosexual romance and marriage, to second graders, and again refused to grant parental notification. In April 2006, the Parkers and the other parents filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against school officials and the Town of Lexington over the incidents and the town's refusal to follow state law.

=== 1.  Major national gay groups, ACLU, and others file brief in federal court opposing David Parker's civil rights lawsuit on indoctrinating homosexuality in elementary school.  ===

Our press release, issued today:
http://www.massresistance.org/docs/parker_lawsuit/press_release_100506.html

They've beefed up the attack on David Parker! Within days of the rebuttal by Parker's lawyers, a the national pro-homosexual lobby along with other local groups, has filed a 24-page amicus curiae brief - essentially a harsh attack on Parker and his right to bring a lawsuit - in federal district court in Boston.

The groups filing the brief are:

National homosexual groups:
      Human Rights Campaign
      Human Rights Campaign Foundation
Massachusetts groups:
      American Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts
      Gay and Lesbian Advocates and Defenders
      Massachusetts Teachers Association
Local groups:
      Lexington Teachers Association
      Lexington C.A.R.E.S.
      Respecting Differences

These are major heavy hitters! The Human Rights Campaign, located in Washington DC, is the world's largest homosexual advocacy and lobbying group, funded with millions of dollars by major US corporations. In 2004, they poured over a million dollars into your Massachusetts State Legislature elections, as reported in the Boston Globe. The Gay and Lesbian Advocates and Defenders (GLAD), funded in part with public money, won the infamous "Goodridge" same-sex marriage case in Massachusetts and has a history of going after both private groups and government agencies. The Massachusetts Teachers Association is the powerful state-wide teachers union.

Interestingly, one of the ACLU's board members, Harvey Silverglate, went on television earlier this year defending David Parker's rights (we'll be posting that). But the ACLU's state executive director, Carol Rose, who lives in Lexington, has personally helped lead the fight against Parker in an extremely hostile manner, and has even written vitriolic stuff in the local newspaper against him.

If you read the amicus brief, you'll recognize the same twisted use of "case law" that we saw in the defendants' motion to dismiss, to attempt to justify forcing homosexuality on young children without parents' knowledge or consent. This has become their strategy - to mangle the legal system to make it appear that everything we've always known about families and parents' rights is actually the opposite, and force the courts to enforce that.

Thus, you'll notice that they focus largely on the weaknesses of the Parental Notification Law (M.G.L. Ch. 71, Sec. 32A). There's a lot of various legal minutiae regarding state laws, questionable definitions of the English language, novel uses of court decisions, and (of course!) flawed logic -- rather than the larger constitutional and civil rights issues that this case is really all about.

It's becoming clear that this represents a huge, landmark case that poses a genuine threat to the larger homosexual agenda in public schools across the country. And these groups realize that and are apparently willing to oppose David Parker in the strongest possible way.

We'll keep you on top of this. And we have full confidence in Parker's law firm, Denner Pellegrino, LLP, to handle this high-profile case.


=== 2.  Days earlier: David Parker's lawyers file powerful rebuttal defending his right to bring federal civil rights lawsuit - in answer to motion to dismiss by defendants. ===

This was filed last month by Parker's lawyers in answer to the Town of Lexington's 57-page motion to dismiss the case. It's worth looking at.

It defends the Parker's position (fairly brilliantly, we think) and also takes apart the absurd and often illogical arguments that the defendants try to put forth. And it cites corresponding solid case law to solidly support the points. It's bold, not wimpy, unlike a lot of stuff we've seen in the past.  (It's our opinion that our side has lost a lot of cases that we should have won, because of inferior legal power. That's NOT the situation this time, we believe.)

Of course, the whole idea that this needs to be argued at all in a court of law is more than a little frightening. These are things that everyone had always taken for granted, since the founding of this country. But unfortunately, the concept of "normalcy" has been so thoroughly subverted over the last decade by the radical elements who have hijacked our legal system, that this is the sorry state our legal system is in.

The good thing: Judging from this rebuttal, Parker's lawyers appear to be up to the task at hand!
