Dad Becomes Icon for Pro-Family Work In Massachusetts -- after Being Banned from Even Taking or Picking Up His Son from School

Jim Brown, Jenni Parker / Teresa Neumann Reporting : May 20, 2005  Agape Press

Agape Press reports that David Parker, a Massachusetts father who was arrested for protesting a homosexual curriculum being used in his son's kindergarten class, is determined to convert his anger into positive political action.

Parker had repeatedly asked for parental notification and the right to opt his son out when same-sex and transgender issues are discussed by authority figures at Estabrook Elementary School, says the Agape Press report. But instead of granting his request, school officials had him arrested for trespassing after he refused to leave the campus, vowing he would not leave until he was granted the right to remove his son from classes dealing with homosexuality.

According to Parker, at the school board's discretion, they have also "banned me from setting foot on any Lexington school grounds." He is forbidden to go onto the school's play areas, walking trails, or any other part of the premises. He adds, "I'm banned even when my child is in class in kindergarten, to pick him up and drop him off."

Parker has no intention of giving up his fight for parental rights.

"When I talk, I seem calm," he said. "But, the thing is, I'm trying to convert the rage into a galvanized will to take this thing as far as I can. I do not accept what has happened. I get questioned as to whether I've taken it too far, and it makes me laugh in a way. They definitely have taken it too far."

Many other Massachusetts parents and pro-family citizens are equally incredulous over what is happening in their state, say reporters Jim Brown and Jenni Parker. The conservative group Article 8 Alliance plans to hold a statewide rally in support of Dave Parker and traditional marriage on Sunday (May 22). Meanwhile, a newly formed parents group in Parker's city has scheduled a confrontation with the Lexington School Committee over their fellow parent's arrest and over the issue of the radical homosexual agenda being carried out in their community's schools.

Gerry Wambolt, a spokesman for Lexington Parents for Respect, says the indoctrination of their children by the schools on the moral and political issue of homosexuality is not only "an arrogant intrusion into the privacy of family values and parental rights," but is also "a colossal misuse of instructional time and resources."

He says the ruling by the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court that legalized homosexual marriage in the state is "directly linked to the growing arrogance of our schools." Because of that arrogance, he asserts, school officials are tacitly telling parents they can no longer disagree with pro-homosexual curricula in their children's schools because same-sex marriage is now legal.
