Look out kids. SpongeBob SquarePants, Barney and Clifford the Big Red Dog are joining forces to rerecord the disco tune We Are Family to promote diversity and tolerance in classrooms.
A video starring the three children's characters plus nearly 100 others, including Dora the Explorer and Arthur, will be distributed to 61,000 public and private elementary schools nationwide, along with lesson plans for teachers. It will air simultaneously on Nickelodeon, the Public Broadcasting Service and the Disney Channel in March.

The We Are Family Foundation was founded by singer-songwriter Nile Rodgers, who wrote the song recorded in 1979 by Sister Sledge. The nonprofit organization creates and supports programs about diversity and multiculturalism. The video was financed by a grant from the Toni Mendez Shapiro estate.
"Cooperation and unity are the most important values we can teach children. We believe that this is the essential first step to loving thy neighbor," Rodgers said.

I am not the least bit racist or anti-cultural diversity. I have friends who are Philippino, Chinese, African, European and so on.
But I'm talking multi-culturalism as a wedge to promote moral relativity. And lies.
Have you read any kids' textbooks lately? I see a few now and again, and they are trash, propganda, and full of lies and innuendo.
They have more Mexican/Spanish, Chinese, and "Africanized" names than regular English type names. From reading them, you'd think that 80% of the population in the US is from other countries - in THIS generation!
Also note the feminazi and "gender bending" slant. I didn't exaggerate at all.
And regarding your comment that there are as many "bad seeds" named Jim Bob as there are named Abdul, I submit to you that Muslim Jihadis aka terrorists are much more dangerous to tobacco chawing rednecks.
How many Islamic American citizens have been convicted of any terrorism oriented crimes?
I wonder what planet you live on.
You aren't aware that "diversity" and "acceptance" are code words for "all kinds of families" which mean Heather has two Daddies?
That's what it all means.
American citizens or not - how many terrorist acts have been committed by people named "Jim Bob" and how many by people named "Mohammed" and "Abdul"?
Citizen or resident or illegal alien, WGAS.
Please elaborate!
And now it's time to bring it around town... Bring it AROUUUUND TOWN!
Plankton, "I went to college!" PING
Muslims do not have a monopoly on terrorists. Ask Oklahoma City.
KRUSTY KRABB! KRUSTY KRABB! KRUSTY KRABB!!
Oklahoma City is swathed in mystery. John Doe (one or two) was a Middle Easterner. Didn't you read any books about it?
Ok, there were a few IRA terrorists who weren't Muslim.
Other than that, there are Muslim terrorists, and then crickets chirping.
Yes, but I believe that's just a conspiracy theory. McVeigh was the culprit and I don't believe there was any middle eastern connection.
And, I guess it depends on your definition of terrorists. I would submit that there are plenty of American terrorists, we just don't happen to call them that. Are urban gangs not terrorist organizations? Drug cartels? Etc.?
The Sexual Harassment Panda!!
I'm not saying there aren't plenty of criminal and thugs of every description.
But Islamic Jihad terrorists? They're all Muslims, oddly enough.
Really? Every Islamic terrorist is a Muslim? Hmmm. That's very interesting. Since all Muslims are all Islamic, that might seem only natural!! lol
Yup, hard to believe, but true!
;-)
Good point on the Veggie Tales characters.
There are some things none of us will tolerate. You will have to take a stand somewhere. Either with them or against them. If you say your neutral, forget it, it just means you with them, just afraid to say it.
see my tag line - this is where I make that exception.
Look how humongous he is. He's definitely different.
He forgot purity. Cooperation, unity, and purity would be a great start in brainwashing for our future dystopia dwellers.
