In an interesting and all-too-bloody twist comes a report of a seven-year-old grade schooler getting beat up for his father’s anti-gay stance. Perhaps this twist on gay bashing could take place only in a state like Massachusetts. The first-grade boy, in fact, was assaulted nearly a month ago on May 17, the two year anniversary of gay marriage in the state.
The first-grader is the son of David Parker, who last year objected to homosexual teachings in his son’s class. During a meeting with the school’s principal, the elder Parker demanded to be notified when his son’s cirriculum would veer into gay issues so he could remove his child from the classroom. The prinicapl said no; Parker refused to leave, and the police had to be called to escort him.
Now David Parker’s son finds himself on the receiving end of a beat down for his family not being liberal enough.
Mr. Parker described the incident at the school saying: “During the recess period, a group of 8-10 kids suddenly surrounded Jacob and grabbed him. He was taken around the corner of the school building out of sight of the patrolling aides, with the taunting and encouragement of other kids. Jacob was then positioned against the wall for what appeared to be a well planned and coordinated assault.”
Parker told LifeSiteNews.com, his son related that one student in particular performed the actual physical assault while, “many children stood, watched silently, and did nothing as the beating commenced.”
Parker added: “The group of kids surrounded Jacob and he was beaten and punched. Then, as he fell to the ground, another child was heard saying to the group of children, ‘Now you all can finish him off,’ and as he was down on his hands and knees, the beating continued on his back. Then, fortunately, one little girl ran to contact the oblivious playground aides to stop it.
“Four of the attackers were from Jacob’s first-grade class; the others were from other classes at Estabrook.
“The teachers’ aide apparently determined that since she could not see external bleeding, and since Jacob apparently was not hit in the face, she did not send him to she school nurse.”
And then there’s the obvious irony among students wishing their classmate to be more open minded while being too narrow minded to distinguish between right and wrong. Disgusting.
How about we take this to the next level?

Seven-Year-Old Beaten at School For Father’s Stand Against Homosexual Activism [LSN]

Did Parker himself write the whole article? I don’t see the evidence that the incident was because of his anti-gay stance.
Also, he’s such a jackass, it stands to reason his son was a little bastard, too. Some kids don’t like little bastards.

Alan – You raise a good point. Especially without the school’s side of the incident (and, as a school, it’s unlikely they’ll issue more than a soundbite, if anything at all), it’s hard to tell what Parker’s kid got beat up for. Maybe he was just a jackass on the playground.

all this is alleged and hard to believe. One, h’es tying it to homo’s even though none of the 1st graders were presented as such, Two kids are pretty straight forwad in their reasons to beat someone and go on and on about it, but he’s saying that no one told him why? very odd, just more of using children for propagandy

Bullying is Bullying… this kid didn’t deserve this no matter what. His dad deserves a good slap. But not a 7 year old kid. The parents of the other children should be embarrassed of thier kids actions. However, it is a interesting (nice) twist to see in bullying. So much for the gay kid getting picked on. And I have to say, you know karma…. With Parker’s anti-gay stance, that kid is gonna be gay.

While I find it hard to condone the abuse this child received at the hands of his fellow students, I do find some sweet irony at the thought of schoolkids beating up a fellow student because his dad is anti-gay. Having been on the receiving end of taunts and other forms of abuse myself, I read this with a great deal of schadenfreude.

I’m gay and have two grammar school age kids. I would be outraged if some of the school bullies decided to pound on my kids because of my political beliefs or because their dad is gay. And I’d be outraged if some of the parents in my community thought it was okay for their kids to beat on mine, like some cultural war by proxy.
I disagree with Parker, but his kid is just a kid and isn’t at all responsible for his father’s ignorance. Sorry, but I’ve got to side with the poor kid on this one.

Look you effin faggots. Nobody cares if you want have brucy cram his cock in your ass, ok? This is about a father thinking it’s not ok for a 6 year old to have to be exposed to your perversities.
Just go suck each other’s dicks and leave the kids out of it ok. But that’s probably what this is all about, just indoctrinating fresh meat for your sickness. Go to hell, all of you.

So, it’s “sweet irony” and karmic retribution that a 7 year-old is stomped on a playground? Is this your idea of being tolerant and humane? Perhaps I could have understood some of your attitudes had it been an altercation between David Parker and one of the gay parents. But to actually applaud and snicker at a child being beaten is disgusting!
Whatever you might think of Mr. Parker, to condone his child being hurt is shameful! Children often grow up and find themselves at odds with their parent;s beliefs. You have guaranteed that this child will have a hard time accepting such ‘tolerant’ gay friendly folks as yourself.

they’re 7 year olds. we’re probably reading too much into it.

No child should be beaten. By anyone. For any reason. It’s a simple as that.
