Boston Globe and Emerson College Pushing Propaganda Play “Laramie Project”


Back in 2007, we assembled background info on the horrid propaganda play, “The Laramie Project.” Performed at high schools and colleges around the country, it uses raw emotion and lies to draw youth into the sexual-radical “rights” cause. The recruitment efforts never let up.  

So we’re not surprised to see “Laramie” being pushed again by Arts Emerson and the Boston Globe this week. They’re even exploiting the Governor’s daughter as a “panelist”. Emerson faculty are working with the sexual-radical groups GLAD, GLAAD, PFLAG, GLSEN, Matthew Shepard Foundation, Human Rights Campaign, and Boston’s “Theater Offensive” (“ambitious programming [on] the cutting edge of queer culture and politics”) to promote their ideology and sense of victimhood, and encourage everyone to “take action against hate”:

The moderator will be former ABC news anchor and current Leader-in-Residence in Emerson College’s Journalism Department Carole Simpson. "It is my pleasure to moderate a panel exploring the plight of the LBGT communities," said Simpson.  "Their problems of discrimination, physical abuse and exclusion have been overlooked too long.  The issues need to come 'out of the closet' into the light of public understanding. I hope I can facilitate that.  I lost a close relative to AIDS.  Through him I learned firsthand the difficulties he had by being 'different.'"
From the Boston Globe:

ArtsEmerson’s “The Laramie Residency’’ includes panel discussions and Tectonic Theater Project’s “The Laramie Project’’ and “The Laramie Project: Ten Years Later.’’ Tonight’s discussion, “The Struggle for GLBT Rights and Protections,’’ focuses on the Shepard/Byrd Hate Crimes Prevention Act, civil rights, and the impact on awareness because of “The Laramie Project.’’ Panelists include activist Katherine Patrick (Governor Deval Patrick’s daughter).

Kevin Jennings' GLSEN-Boston Promotes "Queerspawn" Solidarity

In 2007, Kevin Jennings was still national Executive Director of GLSEN. His “mothership” chapter in Boston held its annual conference on March 31 that year.

The Boston Gay Men’s Chorus were the featured performers - providing opportunities for youth to mingle with adult gay “mentors”. Workshops pushed transgenderism, elementary school gay fairy tales, middle school gay clubs, the fluidity of "sexual identities", and warnings about gay dating violence.  (See list of workshops here.)

The keynote speaker was actress/activist Sol Kelley-Jones, “a household name in the queerspawn universe” (according to the queer blog, Damn Straight). She

self-identifies as “queer and person-specific rather than bisexual.” Sol’s experiences with hostility and discrimination happened at a younger age than many of her queer peers, but not because her parents were unsupportive. On the contrary: “I also identify as a second generation or queerspawn as I was born into a lesbian parented family.”

Kelley-Jones’ bio says she’s

… a second generation queer activist and artist who passionately believes in the interconnection between struggles for justice and the radical potential for creative coalitional organizing. As the daughter of lesbian parents, Sol grew up on the frontlines of the LGBTQ movement in Madison, Wisconsin. She actively countered the harmful effects of heterosexism from her youngest years, developing anti-homophobic and anti-racist school curriculum, leading LGBTQ cultural competency and diversity trainings for teachers and youth, and both serving on the National Board of COLAGE [queer family activism] and starting a thriving local chapter…. One of Sol's proudest accomplishments is as co-founder and former youth artistic director of Proud Theater, an award-winning theater troupe and support group for queer youth …

As in previous years, MassResistance activists monitored the proceedings, including a young Boston mother who wrote the following report. Note that GLSEN doesn’t just push GLBT issues and pansexuality. It fosters every hate-America leftist outlook imaginable, focusing on “oppression” and “social justice”. Report by a Boston mother:

I didn’t take very many notes on the keynote speaker because she spoke so fast and I walked out 10 minutes before she was done because I was so angry. She basically spoke very loudly and fast in a way that was designed to pump up the crowd and show that she was saying something very powerful.

She rocked back and forth on the podium as she spoke, like an actor performing a soliloquy, and she spoke as if she was Martin Luther King giving his “I have a dream” speech.

She compared gay rights to immigrant rights and the shakier parallel of the black civil rights movement.

She kept saying the word HETEROSEXISM and almost spitting it every time she said it. I didn’t even know what the word meant but I knew it was a slur! I’ll elaborate on that later.

She chastised us for being heteronormative (meaning a false assumption that heterosexuality was our normal state). She said that queer families have multiple parenting experiences and they have fluid identities, at any given time they may consist of any configuration of people. (Like these sickos that said they had 4 moms, their dad’s lover, their mom’s lover’s other lover, and the previous mom’s new lovers etc. etc. all in the same household.)

She said that racism, classism and homophobia are all lumped into the same group. She basically echoed the sentiments of the teenage Marxist lesbian in my bisexual workshop/lecture -- calling the USA a “white supremacist capitalist patriarchy” and saying “our schools are in collusion with the systems of oppression.”

She then started to talk about the Iraq war and how we should be so proud of our government because the soldiers are over there killing Iraqi children and covering them with American flags. And as she goes on about this, people in the audience start to give her a standing ovation. So at that point I am in the front row and I start BOOING her as loudly as I can, and I got up and stormed out on her with everyone watching me go.

The man who I thought had ‘outed’ me and was watching me followed me out of the auditorium. Turns out his name was Frank Pantano and he was the co-chair of the conference. He said he had been following me because he wanted to tell me how proud he was that I was attending this conference and that he felt so happy because I was exactly the type of person he wanted to reach with this info.

Then he asked me what the speaker had said that got me so upset I told him my dad served in the Army during Vietnam and I have many other family members who are career Marines. My godfather’s ENTIRE FAMILY are career marines -- he, his wife and all three kids! I have NO TOLERANCE for people talking sh*t about the military who are right now giving their lives in order for this woman to have the right to stand up and say the stuff she is saying. I said I came here to learn about the gay culture, not to hear her politics and not to be insulted by you all.

I must have been purple with rage at that point, so he calmly and so caringly asked me how I was being insulted. I asked him, “Please explain to me what this term HETEROSEXISM means! I don’t know what it is but I know that when she spoke it she said it with such disdain that even a moron would have to know they were being insulted!” He told me that it basically means an assumption that everyone and everything is heterosexual, and that it can be meant as a pejorative term just like you can use homosexual in an insulting way.

At that point the lecture let out and I went on my way to the next session.

Concord-Carlisle High School's “Falsettos” Promotes Polyamory, Bisexuality and Homosexuality



Concord-Carlisle High School is promoting a take-down of family values on Thanksgiving Day – engineered by Mr. Peter Atlas, an old friend of Kevin Jennings (Obama’s “Safe Schools czar” and founder of GLSEN).

A few years back, we reported on Concord-Carlisle High School’s disgraceful hosting of the Boston Gay Men’s Chorus on Palm Sunday. Now they’re at it again. Under the direction of perennial gay-activist CCHS math teacher Peter Atlas, CCHS students are performing “Falsettos in December -- a musical pushing polyamory, bisexuality and homosexuality. Community residents are very concerned about the production’s vulgar sexuality and anti-family message. Not content with inflicting this on the community in the weeks before Christmas, the school has added a sneak preview scheduled on Thanksgiving Day

A few words on Mr. Atlas. An ally of GLSEN founder/Obama “Safe Schools czar” Kevin Jennings, both Atlas and Jennings were young gay activist teachers in Concord, Massachusetts in the 1990s. Atlas was a board member of GLSEN Boston in the 90’s.  Atlas followed the GLSEN playbook and “came out” at CCHS in 1993 in the student newspaper. He was the original adviser to Spectrum, the Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA) club at the CCHS.

Peter Atlas, the advisor to SPECTRUM, came out by publishing a letter in his school's newspaper on National Coming Out Day. His motivation was twofold: First, he did it for the students. "It was an attempt to alleviate some of the fear, shame, loneliness, and despair of kids in the high school today that I also felt as a closeted teen." And second, he did it for himself and other staff members. "It takes much more energy to be closeted than it does to come out." He explained. "All of the energy I used in worrying that I would say the wrong thing is now freed up to do other things. I think I'm a much more effective teacher now on many levels." He said that after coming out, "I got tremendous support which surprised me.

He’s also behind a pro-homosexual teachers’ coalition there: 

Peter Atlas, a teacher at Concord-Carlisle High School, said that his school has formed a committee on Gay and Lesbian Student Safety. The committee has two faculty sub-groups in addition to the Gay/Straight Alliance. One sub-group deals with issues of Curriculum and Support by addressing ways that teachers can integrate gay and lesbian issues into the curriculum and offering faculty training, gathering resources. The second sub-group deals with Outreach to the Community by looking at ways to solicit resources and help from the community and to address concerns of the community and parents.

We’ve heard that he gave a speech at a recent CCHS commencement where he talked about “queering” math (his subject). Two years ago, the Boston Globe revealed he offers matchmaking advice to “gay” teens: 

Peter Atlas, the former adviser of Concord-Carlisle's Spectrum group, says that, increasingly, gay kids who turn up at his classroom aren't only asking questions about coming out and getting support. "They want to know where they can meet boys!" he says with a laugh.

Now Mr. Atlas is queering the school's theatre department with "Falsettos". Synopsis from Wikipedia:
It's 1979 in New York City, and Marvin, his son Jason, his psychiatrist Mendel and his male lover Whizzer are Four Jews In A Room Bitching (well, technically, Whizzer's only "half Jewish"). Marvin steps forward to explain his situation: He has left his wife, Trina, for Whizzer, but Marvin wants A Tight-Knit Family and is attempting to forge a new family situation with the addition of Whizzer, a situation no one is happy with.
Trina, on Marvin’s recommendation, pays a visit to Mendel where she wearily wonders how her life has turned out this way. Mendel, who is instantly attracted to her, tries to console her, telling her that Love is Blind. Meanwhile, Marvin and Whizzer comment on their relationship: the two have very little in common, apart from the fact that they both love fighting and are insanely attracted to each other. Both worry that The Thrill of First Love is wearing off.

Here’s a sampling of “Falsettos” song titles:
·      My Father’s a Homo
·      Everyone Hates His Parents
·      Days Like This I Almost Believe in God
·      Four Jews in a Room Bitching

And a quick look at some “Falsettos” lyrics:

My father’s a homo
My mother’s not thrilled at all
Father homo:
What about chromo-
Some?
Do they carry?
Will they carry?
Who’s the homo now?
My father said that one day I’ll grow to be president
And that idea’s not so wild
I don’t live the life of a normal child
‘Cause I’m too smart for my own good
And I’m too good for my sorry little life
My mother’s no wife
And my father’s no man
No man at all

We are manipulating people and we need to know
Our worst sides aren't ignored.
We charge ahead to show--
MENDEL: We're good in bed.
(WHIZZER puts his hand on MENDEL's shoulder.)
WHIZZER: Excel in bed.
(MARVIN puts his hand on WHIZZER's shoulder.)
MARVIN: We smell in bed.
(WHIZZER puts his hand on MARVIN's. JASON picks up the bed and hides it behind his back.)
JASON: Where is the bed?
MENDEL: I love the bed. …
Four Jews in a room bitching (wheee!)
Four Jews talking like Jew-ish men
I'm neurotic, he's neurotic,
They're neurotic, we're neurotic.
Bitch bitch bitch bitch
Funny funny funny funny.

Well, the situation’s this
It’s not tough to comprehend
I divorced my wife
I left my child
And I ran off with a friend
But I want a tight-knit family
I want a group that harmonizes
I want my wife and kid and friend
To pretend
Time will mend
Our pain.
So I make them interact
So I don’t go by the book
We all eat as one-
Wife, friend, and son-
And I sing out as I cook
“I want a tight-knit family.
I hope you all enjoy linguine.
Talk till you hear the dinner bell.
Such a dear clientele.
I swear we’re gonna come through it.
I fear we’ll probably fight,
But nothing’s impossible.
Live by your wit-“
Kid, wife, and lover will have to admit
I was right
I cushioned the fall
I want it all
I want it all
I want it…

Love is Blind 
[Wife Trina & psychiatrist Mendel]
TRINA: 
Love is a mess
So’s my son, expressly to hurt me
Marvin, my ex-
You’ve seen him for years-
Told me over the phone to tell you my fears
Do you only treat queers?
MENDEL: 
Breathe deep, my dear
You’ll find me understanding
Your pain is a priori
Unfold you untold story
Now to break bread
Loosen your glands
Put your head in my hands
TRINA: 
I’m everything he wanted
It’s time I put it all together
The date was set
My father let my marry
I married. I…
Then Marvin came from work
Sat me down on the bed
He told me how he loved me
How needed, that thought valued me
I have…
MENDEL:  What?
MARVIN (as Trina mouths this): Syphilis
TRINA:  He said
MENDEL:  Good
TRINA:  I have
MENDEL:  Yes?
MARVIN (Trina mouths):  Syphilis
TRINA:  It’s true
MENDEL:  Good
TRINA:  I had something rotten
Which appears thought now it’s well forgo, an’
MARVIN:  Maybe, darling, so do you
TRINA:  Maybe, darling, so do you
TRINA (to Marvin):  I am probably diseased
MENDEL:  You’re a lovely girl
TRINA (to Marvin):  And so easily appeased
MENDEL:  What a lovely girl, though she’s probably diseased
TRINA:  He took pains to not excite us
He explains I’ve…
MARVIN:  Hepatitis
TRINA:  Too
MARVIN, JASON, AND WHIZZER:
Hepa hepa hepatitis hepatitis hepatitis
MENDEL:
Love is blind
Love can tell a million stories
Love’s unkind
Spiteful in a million ways

TRINA:
I’d like to be a princess on a throne
To have a country I can call my own
And a king
Who’s lusty and requires a fling
With a female thing
Great, men will be men
Let me turn on the gas
I saw them in the den with
Marvin grabbing Whizzer’s ass…
I only want to love a man who can love me
Or like me
Marvin was never mine
He took his meetings in the boy’s latrine
I used to cry
He’d make a scene
I’d rather die
Than dry-clean
Marvin’s wedding gown…

Where are they now?

Whatever happened to Marshall Kirk, the co-author of the homosexual propaganda blueprint, After the Ball? We were just wondering, and found this today:
http://groups.google.com/group/soc.genealogy.medieval/browse_thread/thread/21df5ff99a7c7528/4bf4b533e72d8043?#4bf4b533e72d8043
and on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marshall_Kirk
Seems he died at the age of 47 in his Brookline apartment of undisclosed causes in July 2005.

Another propaganda master we've been wondering about is the genius behind the "Governor's Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth," David LaFontaine. He sort of dropped off the map. Anyone know where David is today? You know where to email us.
