A California school system refuses to say what action, if any, it will take after it received complaints about a kindergarten teacher who encouraged her students to sign "pledge cards" in support of gays.
During a celebration of National Ally Week, Tara Miller, a teacher at the Faith Ringgold School of Arts and Science in Hayward, Calif., passed out cards produced by the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network to her class of kindergartners.
The cards asked signers to be "an ally" and to pledge to "not use anti-LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) language or slurs; intervene, when I feel I can, in situations where others are using anti-LGBT language or harassing other students and actively support safer schools efforts."
The school has acknowledged that the exercise was not appropriate for kindergartners.

This is why we are home schooling our daughters.
ReplyDeleteNot only is the material inappropriate, but the person employed as the teacher is as well.
ReplyDeleteIdiots should be driven out of the education business.
Way to make a stand against tolerance, Bronze!
ReplyDeletePiss-off Tor.
ReplyDeleteHow's that for tolerance?
I don't think it's a matter of tolerance or intolerance, it's a matter of shoving information down kid's throats when they're too young to understand. And kindergartners are WAY TOO YOUNG to have to deal with this.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't want that stuffed down my kids throats, either! YES on 8!
ReplyDeleteYou're right. The problem is that it's just another example of Liberals trying to indoctrinate people at an early age.
ReplyDeleteThat comment was for Goddess.
ReplyDeleteI also agree with CTT. Yes on 8!
Next up...gays and pre-school!
ReplyDeleteI saw a news report today linking sexy shows to teen pregnancy. Doesn't come as much of a surprise to know these kids are going to be affected by being exposed to this sort of stuff day in and day out from early ages. But it's sad because they lose their innocence so early now.
Goddess, I agree. I used to not buy into the whole "kids/video-games/violence" meme, but I believe it completely now. It's the same with kid's constant exposure to sex.
ReplyDeleteThe younger generations are going to be problems for us down the road because of the constant exposure to sex/violence. We're already seeing it...
