Sanger's Untold Views
A recent Bangor Daily News story mentioned Margaret Sanger, but didn't mention her eugenic and racist writings.
She edited the Birth Control Review (1917-1938), whose December, 1921 masthead read: "Birth control to create a race of thoroughbreds." In the April 1933 issue she wrote: "Slavs, Latin and Hebrew immigrants are human weeds… a dead weight of human waste … eugenic sterilization is an urgent need … we must prevent multiplication of this bad stock."
Sanger founded Planned Parenthood in 1939 and established the Margaret Sanger Research Bureau, which financed the development of the "pill." The World Health Organization lists it on its highest classification of carcinogenicity, causing breast, liver and cervical cancers.

Preserving the right to Homeschool
Unlike the contrived and artificial mush we consume in the media today this article by a Maine mom is first hand and heart felt. It is about her own children and education. Rebecca Pringle-Gleske shares her experience with schools, her children and their peers. This letter to the California Supreme Court tells the truth about homeschooling. Paulie and I did it for four years when our sons were young. We thank God for the experience.

Transgendering in the Bible?
As a Christian Graduate student being Seminary trained at Bangor Theological Seminary, I find your analysis and response to a 10 year old male to female trans-gendered student disgusting and downright un-Christian. Do I need to remind you of the Eunuch in the Acts of the Apostles (what many theologians believe to be an account of someone who was trans-gendered being accepted for who they were.) Your exploitation of the Christian Faith is outrageous, to say the least. Commending a man for encouraging his grandson to commit a hate crime is not Christian, it happens to be the exact opposite of what Jesus Christ taught. I just pray that the 10 year old male to female student will find love and acceptance in their community. Thank God for courageous 10 year old Male to Female students!

A "Gay Man" Trapped in a Woman's Body and Other Nonsense
Maine learned this week that a ten year old boy is being raised as a girl in Orono. As people struggle to understand this new phenomenon it is important to consider the context of our struggle. Just what is going on in the broader culture as Maine experiments with new understandings of both sexual orientation and gender?

Schoolchildren and Contraception
In addition to all the moral and ethical considerations, we should also be concerned about possible unexpected negative side effects of powerful hormonal supplements in the developing bodies of pre-teen and early teen females.
Obviously, the parallel between the effects of addictive chemicals and the effects of powerful hormones is not exact.
It seems at least a worthy question to ask what possible negative side effects related to brain and other developing organ systems might occur [by giving young girls prescription birth control].

Diamon Should Have Attacked Planned Parenthood
 |
| Pat Truman |
My, my, my! Al Diamon is certainly agog at the
"extreme behavior" exhibited by…well, just about everyone regarding the Portland School Department fiasco.
Showering young people with contraceptives and provocative literature provides Planned Parenthood with a ready-made clientele, thereby creating a demand for its own services. These are the powerful forces that Diamon should have attacked, instead of individuals who want a more promising future for our youth.
The truly compassionate people are trying to get our youth back on track and away from a destructive way of life—before a lot of confused students experience a bitter harvest of regret.

A Call to Prayer at Portland's King Middle School
 |
| Rev. Rick Kimball |
As a child, I attended [Portland's] King Elementary School.
We have been down to the school five times [since the decision]. A group of us went down to the school recently, with our Bibles, laid hands on the school, and walked around the school for quite some time praying.
The Portland School Committee's decision should be bringing thousands of people to that school, not only a handful. It is an atrocity to people and God.
As one of the leaders of
Men on Fire, I feel it's very important to support the Christian Civic League of Maine, as long as we are in the will of God. I would like to thank you all very much at the League.

Humans more valuable than animals
Should the comfort and well-being of animals be regarded as highly as the comfort and well-being of people?
The answer is no.
Human beings are intrinsically more valuable than animals, pets or any "endangered species," and here is why. People are made in God’s image; animals are not. People continue to exist after their spirits leave their bodies; animals do not continue to exist after death.
People must give an account to God for their actions on Judgment Day; animals have no such day awaiting them. Man has a conscience and a moral will that is free, able and obligated to do right; animals have no such conscience and are not obligated by God to do right.

Going to church is an important responsibility
Regarding the "There from here" column by Jennifer Boylan (Aug. 5), which was in print on Sunday -- I found this article disturbing. The idea that God can be found at home without going to church is not a new idea at all, but in fact has been sadly praised by secular folk for years.
God asked specifically that we honor Him on Sunday. This does not mean laying around at home in our pj's and cooing over the cuteness of our children.

Imperfectly abnormal
One particular book, "It's Perfectly Normal," promotes promiscuous sex by illustrations and written content specifically intended to distort, undermine, and destroy wholesome traditional family values. It teaches children they have a right to sex, and that their bodies and others' bodies are toys made for recreation.
Sexual predators have got to love this book, which promotes sexual excitement in children, and gets children past the stage of embarrassment, blush and shame, and engaged in its activities.
What's it going to take to get back parental control on children's education and tell the library to clean up its act, and stop demoralizing our youth?
