Here are the bills that MassResistance filed this session in the Massachusetts Legislature
All of these bills were written by MassResistance and filed on our behalf.
POSTED: April 17, 2015
Effective Parents' Rights Opt-In Bill
Official title: An Act Regarding Parental Notification and Consent.
Bill #: H439 Committee:Joint Committee on Education
Sponsor: Rep. Joe McKenna Co-sponsors: Reps. Jim Lyons, Shawn Dooley, Marc Lombardo, Donald Humason, Angelo D'Emilia, Donald Berthiaume, Randy Hunt, Kevin Kuros, Nicholas Boldyga
What it does: This bill amends the current parental notification law, Ch. 71 Sec. 32A, written by Parents' Rights Coalition (now MassResistance), expanding upon it and modernizing it to address current conditions. This includes: (1) expanding the range of subjects covered from merely "human sexuality issues" which is poorly defined, to include specific issues actually introduced to children in Massachusetts schools; (2) granting parents the "opt-in" option (similar to other curricula in the schools) instead of "opt-out", which has proven unworkable; (3) allowing a religious exemption to school staff; and (4) removing the Department of Education as the arbiter of disputes.
The bill will effectively help parents deal with the LBGT agenda in the schools by giving parents the right to decide what their children are introduced to regarding sexuality, homosexuality, transgenderism, and similar issues which are now being presented to children in schools across the state. The current notification law does not work and makes it difficult, intimidating, and embarrassing for parents and children in the areas where it does apply. This bill is very specific rather than vague to avoid creating loopholes, which has happened with the current law. More importantly, it changes the current "opt-out" to "opt-in" -- like every other elective in the schools. (Currently, "sexuality" is the only opt-out subject in school curricula.)
Why it's needed: The current law, passed in 1996, has loopholes, unworkable sections, and limitations that have rendered it ineffective. The vagueness of the current law has been cited in court cases as giving schools the leeway to expose a broad range of often graphic sexual, homosexual, and transgender subjects to kids -- even in elementary school -- without parents' knowledge or consent. In recent years this has expanded from "curriculum," into counseling sessions, assemblies, special events, unplanned "teachable moments," and student "gay" clubs -- which the current law does not cover
This situation has become extremely frustrating to parents. For example, in 2006 David Parker, father of a kindergartner, brought a federal civil rights case against the Town of Lexington regarding presenting of homosexual and transgender issues to their 6-year-old son without their knowledge or consent. After nearly three years, the federal judge ruled against them because of the limitations of the current law. Schools have used that ruling to accelerate the homosexual and transgender programs in K-12, free to ignore parents' wishes and religious beliefs.
The "opt-out" mechanism in the current law is easily subverted by school officials in various ways: The schools publish the notifications in unusual places; they make the process onerous and inconvenient for parents; they make it embarrassing and humiliating for children to be taken out of the classes. "Opt-in" is the only fair approach.
Also in the current law, the Department of Education is the arbiter of disputes; that has proven to be a complete disaster because the bureaucrats in the (pro-LGBT) DOE invariably side with the schools over parents. Thus, parents across the state have demanded more rights and protections.
To our knowledge, this is the most effective bill of its kind ever introduced in the US. Unfortunately, homosexual groups in Boston have reacted hysterically when this bill was introduced in the past -- and we predict a similar reaction this time!
Text of bill:
AN ACT REGARDING PARENTAL NOTIFICATION AND CONSENT
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:
Chapter 71, Section 32A of the General Laws is hereby revised as follows:
Section 32A. Human sexuality education; Requirements for parental notification and consent.
Every city, town, or regional school district, vocational school district, or charter school presenting, implementing, or maintaining school programs involving human sexuality issues and behaviors shall adopt and implement a written policy ensuring parental/guardian notification of such school programs and a description of their content.
All such school programs shall be offered only in clearly identified non-mandatory elective courses, units, or activities in which parents or guardians may choose to enroll their children through written notification to the school, in a manner reasonably similar to other elective courses, units, or activities offered by the school district.
The school shall make available instruction materials and related items with adequate advance notice to parents, guardians, educators, school administrators, and others for inspection and review. Through written request prior to a related special event or assembly held at school, parents or guardians shall be allowed access to monitor its content.
No public school teacher, administrator, or staff member shall be required to participate in any such school programs that violate his religious beliefs.
The term "human sexuality issues and behaviors" includes but is not limited to: sexual education, human reproductive system, pregnancy, contraception, abortion, sexually transmitted diseases, promiscuity, homosexuality, bisexuality, lesbianism, transsexuality, transgenderism, cross-dressing, gender re-assignment, sex change, opposite-sex hormone treatments, sodomy, oral sex, anal sex, masturbation, fornication, bestiality, pansexuality, pederasty, prostitution, polygamy, polyandry, bondage and discipline, and sadomasochism. It also includes issues, concepts, and relationships deriving from those issues and behaviors, including but not limited to sexual orientation, gender identity, gender stereotype, alternative parenting models, and non-traditional marriage and family constructs.
The term "school programs" includes but is not limited to any school sanctioned activity, or portion thereof directed toward students, whether on or off campus, whether during or outside school hours, whether organized, presented or directed by school employees, agents of the school, students, volunteers, outside presenters, or others.
Such school programs include, but are not limited to, classes, curriculum, assemblies, outside speakers, workshops, theater productions, recognized student clubs, teacher/staff organizations meeting in the school including students, private or non-private counseling sessions, materials displayed or available in staff offices or classrooms, teachable moments, suggested or recommended (non-required) reading lists or assignments, videos, exhibits, posters, displays, public announcements, and handouts.
Bill to protect children from intrusive school surveys on personal issues
Official title: An act regarding surveys in public schools schools.
Bill #: H382 Committee:Joint Committee on Education
Sponsors: Rep. Colleen Garry Co-sponsors: Reps. Keiko Orrall, Nicholas Boldyga, Jose Tosado, Benjamin Swan; Sen. Ryan Fattman
What it does: Requires parental notification and consent for questionnaires, surveys, and similar evaluations given to schoolchildren regarding certain private, personal and family issues.
Why it's needed: Currently, thousands of students in middle schools and high schools are asked to fill out surveys on private, personal issues without their parents’ knowledge or consent. The surveys include questions about heterosexual and homosexual activity, sexual orientation, drug use, criminal activity, personal questions about family members, suicidal feelings and attempts, violence, etc. See some sample questions HERE. (Note: Most states are administering similar surveys.)
A major concern has been the psychologically intrusive nature of these surveys, which radical groups use to soften childrens' perceptions of dangerous activities. For example, a battery of questions asking "how many times" a child has engaged in certain sex acts or drug use may make the child believe he is abnormal if he is not doing it at all.
And by using leading questions, the surveys also create misleading "statistics" to persuade politicians to design state policies around, and to give radical special interest groups more taxpayer money for school programs. The surveys are not scientifically grounded –- relying on self-reporting by teenagers -– yet are being used to design state policies.
Many of these are administered by the Dept. of Elementary & Secondary Education (Youth Risk Behavior Survey) and the Dept. of Public Health (Mass. Youth Health Survey). About 9,000 students took the state surveys in 2011. In addition, many local school systems administer these (or similar) surveys on their own. This bill would make all such surveys "opt-in" by parents.
This bill would also prevent school personnel from administering similar individual "mental health screenings" without parental consent.
Text of bill:
AN ACT REGARDING SURVEYS IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:
Chapter 71 of the General Laws is hereby revised as follows, with the addition of Section 32B:
Section 32B. Student surveys regarding personal or private issues; Requirements for parental notification and consent
No student in any public elementary or secondary school, without the prior written consent of the parent or guardian, shall be requested or required to submit to a survey, analysis, or evaluation concerning personal issues including, but not limited to: (1) emotional and psychological concerns or issues, whether concerning the student or his family (including “mental health screenings”); (2) sexual behavior and attitudes; (3) illegal, anti-social, self-incriminating or demeaning behaviors; (4) feelings of victimization; (5) suicide attempts or ideation, or self-abuse; (6) birth control or abortion; (7) critical appraisals of other individuals with whom respondent has family relationships; (8) legally recognized privileged or analogous relationships, such as those with lawyers, physicians, therapists, and ministers; (9) political affiliations; or (10) income.
This will apply to all such surveys whether from a state or federal agency, whether administered in a classroom setting, by a school counselor, a school nurse, or school-based health center staff member. All such screenings, surveys, analyses, and evaluations shall be shall be made reasonably available with adequate advance notice to parents, guardians, educators, school administrators, and others for inspection and review prior to being administered.
Bill to eliminate the "Commission on Gay Lesbian Bisexual and Transgender Youth"
Official title: An Act protecting children and parentsBill #: H2781 Committee: Joint Committee on State Administration and Regulatory Oversight
Sponsor: Rep. Marc Lombardo Co-Sponsor: Rep. Jose Tosado
What it does: It repeals the law which created the "Commission on Gay Lesbian Bisexual and Transgender Youth". That law was passed in a particularly dishonest manner -- as a budget item in 2006, in order to avoid having to hold a public hearing and normal debate -- because of the extremely offensive and controversial nature of this Commission.
This Commission includes homosexual and transgender activists from across the state who work unsupervised with public school children K-12 designing and leading homosexual and transgender related programs events in schools and off campus. The Commission advances homosexual, bisexual, and transgender programs in the public schools (including “Gay-Straight Alliance” clubs in middle and high schools) and also directs teens to GLBT advocacy and support groups (BAGLY, GLSEN, PFLAG, GLAD). The horrible things this commission has done with children are almost beyond description.
Why it's needed: Many of these Commission-promoted activities are extremely graphic, explicit, and dangerous, and often include other homosexual, transgender, and even sadomasochist activists mingling with kids. There is no oversight to this commission, and their activities over the last few years have outraged parents and even public officials. In 2010 one adult commission member was arrested for soliciting homosexual sex from a minor. Earlier, another commissioner faced accusations of soliciting sex from college students. In 2009, the Commission even had "Mr. Boston Leather" (a homosexual sadomasochist) greet teens (and hand out his "business card") at the BAGLY prom ending Youth Pride Day.
Other examples of the many events with children by Commission members include this "Youth Pride" parade and the distribution of this dangerous flyer, along with homosexual condoms.
Incredibly, this state-funded Commission directs millions of dollars of taxpayer money. While $100K of state funding in FY2013 is earmarked specifically for the Commission (staffed mostly by volunteer LGBT activists), most of their efforts are funded in larger unspecified amounts and implemented via the Departments of Education and Public Health and other state agencies. One of its member sub-groups, BAGLY, also receives separate funding.
Thus, in addition to its work with schools, the Commission advocates and coordinates radical GLBT programs throughout many state agencies. No other state has such a commission, and Massachusetts should not, either.
Text of bill:

SECTION 1. Chapter 3 of the General Laws is hereby amended by repealing Section 67.

Alexa Caught Fixing Rankings to Target Anti-Obama News Sites?
Alexa Caught Fixing Rankings to Target Anti-Obama News Sites?
-
\
Paul Joseph Watson
Prison Planet.com
May 5, 2015
Internal traffic data from
Infowars.com suggests that Alexa is fixing its rankings system to target
conservative and anti-Obama administration news websites while
artificially boosting the rankings of pro-government leftist media
outlets.
The controversy first arose last year when
both Infowars and World Net Daily noticed that despite internal traffic
reports from several different sources showing that traffic was on the
increase, Alexa’s publicly available statistics showed a massive and
unexplained drop-off in traffic from August 2014 onwards.
Alexa rankings are important because
they gauge the popularity of news websites that compete with each other
as well as providing analytics for potential advertisers.
Alexa is owned by Amazon, which has numerous close ties to the Obama White House. Amazon hired Obama’s former press secretary Jay Carney earlier this year, while the administration also supported Amazon during a Supreme Court hearing last year on workers’ rights. Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos is a staunch Democrat. Obama personally visited an Amazon center just six days before Bezos bought the Washington Post.
Infowars has now confirmed that the
huge drop off in traffic reported by Alexa seen in the graph above
directly contradicts Alexa’s own internal traffic reports, which clearly
show that Infowars’ web traffic did not significantly change during the
period from August 2014 onwards.
Infowars’ internal data from Google analytics also contradicts the drop off shown in Alexa’s public rankings.
One explanation for the rankings
change that has been suggested is that although traffic for each of
these websites has stayed the same or risen, the inclusion of a number
of new websites in Alexa’s system has collectively pushed older sites
down the charts.
However, the same trend would be expected for other news websites, whether they slant left or right, but this isn’t the case.
Indeed, virtually every major leftist or pro-Obama website has seen a drastic increase in
its site ranking since August 2014, a rise that is almost perfectly
inverse to the plummeting site rankings of conservative websites as
reported in Alexa’s public data.
Alex Jones: “It’s clear that
starting on October 1st 2014, Libertarian minded sites ratings
artificially plunged and Obama supporting sites were artificially
raised. These are unfair trade practices and deception being executed
against the people and need to be questioned.”
Check out Alexa’s public rankings for pro-Obama/leftist news websites over the past year and compare them to Infowars.com.
Also note how Alexa has downgraded other conservative websites.
Although conservative sites have
recovered some of their traffic in the last month, the drop since August
2014 is noticeable across the board.
Again, in the case of both World Net
Daily and Infowars, this public data is contradicted by more detailed
internal data pulled from Alexa’s own system.
In addition, it was widely reported that
2014 was a huge year for the Drudge Report, which the news aggregator
being the , “No. 1 site of referral traffic to the Daily Mail, CNN, Fox
News, Roll Call, Breitbart, The New York Times, National Journal, USA
Today, Associated Press, Reuters, The Wall Street Journal and POLITICO,”
according to a study by Intermarkets.
Also remember that in the case of MSNBC, the network’s viewing audience figures continue to plummet, making the drastic increase in traffic to the MSNBC site as reported by Alexa even more perplexing. PBS also continues to hemorrhage viewers.
“It smacks, at first glance, like a
deliberate effort to destroy and discredit alternative news sites –
especially those that don’t grovel at the feet of government and seek to
be the watchdogs the American press are supposed to be,” said WND
Editor and CEO Joseph Farah when the issue first arose.
“How does one explain the disparity
between the recent gains on Alexa by statist, pro-government, pro-status
quo, establishment sites and the precipitous drops on Alexa by the
anti-establishment alternatives?” he added.
If the huge drop in traffic for
conservative websites, which began last year, was merely a result of
Alexa changing how it collects data, then why hasn’t a similar fall been
seen for leftist news websites and why does Alexa’s own internal data
contradict their public rankings?
Watch the video below in which Alex Jones delves further into the mystery.

1 shot by a policeman at Uttenheim, Germany, on suspicion of being a were-
wolf, in November, 1925
1 murdered in Pennsylvania in 1929
for a total of 236,870 (unknowns listed)
Frank Donovan says: "Several modern writers claim that 9,000,000
people met their deaths during the witchcraft persecution but offer no valid
statistical records to support this estimate. On the other end of the scale
is the 'educated guess' of R.H.Robbins and others that the total may have been
about 200,000. Contemporary records are spotty and incomplete. Many deaths
were probably never recorded and other archives have been lost thru time." It
is this writer's opinion that - one-half million - executed is a reasonable
estimated total.
