Hands-on parenting, he does

Supporters Rally on Behalf of Massachusetts Father
By Emma Elliott

Media turn parental rights into anti-‘gay’ issue.

Members of Concerned Women for America (CWA) and many others rallied on Lexington Green in Massachusetts on Tuesday night in support of a father who was arrested for wanting to be involved in his son’s education.

David Parker went to Lexington’s Joseph Estabrook Elementary School, where his 6-year-old son is a student, on April 27. According to the Boston Globe, he had scheduled a meeting with a school official after his son brought home a book titled Who’s in a Family? by Robert Skutch. Same-sex couples with children are among the “families” depicted in the book.

During the meeting Mr. Parker asked to see the educational materials being used to teach his son about homosexuality. When the official declined, Parker refused to leave the school. He was arrested, spent the night in jail and has been charged with “criminal trespassing.”
