Indoctrination is not the same thing as respect.

Nor are chickens the same as goats. How is this "indoctrination"? It's a video which uses children's tv characters to sing "We Are Family" (the Sister Sledge song). The group making the video has a link to a Tolerance Pledge which I copied above. The pledge has the words "sexual identity" in it which from the article above seems to be the only complaint. My reading of the pledge doesn't find the inclusion to be particularly offensive. It's perfectly fine to "respect" someone. Would you, for example, support your kids if they egged the house of or taunted a gay person who lived on your street or in your neighborhood?

Is there an epidemic of that sort of thing to your knowledge? A red herring. I send my children to school to get a proper education -- not socially engineered, no matter on whose behalf.

After the 2004 election, the more pressing matter is to see some "respect" for Republicans' political views:

In one of the most troubling acts by Bush haters to date, arsonists set fire to a Bush political lawn sign and deck of a Bush supporter in Richfield. Thankfully no one was hurt.

Inqlings | Reporter quits at WHYY over angry message
A voice-mail message left last week at the Virginia office of Laptoplobbyist.com, a conservative Internet site, went like this:
"Hi, my name is Rachel, and my telephone number is... I wanted to tell you that you're evil, horrible people. You're awful people. You represent horrible ideas. God hates you and he wants to kill your children. You should all burn in hell. Bye."
Rachel is Rachel Buchman, 25, a regular reader of Laptoplobbyist's e-mail newsletter - and a reporter with public radio station WHYY-FM (90.9) for about three years. And she left her office number at WHYY in the message last Tuesday.

Odd world when sexual fetishes are constitutionally protected from harassment but not political views. Political correctness is leftist totalitarianism, it is an Orwellian nightmare.

Of course not - the kids were supposed to use pitchforks and torches! /sarcasm

So you believe diversity is our greatest strength?

No one is advocating violence or intimidation against gays. Yes come cruel children do that against gays, but they are clearly breaking the law when they do. Children can be very cruel. These liberals will ultimately make it a crime to laugh at fat chicks or any may with girly affectations.
Seriously, childhood sexual encounters are intimately linked with the probability of gayness emerging after puberty. Any encouragement of sex, and mainstreaming of gay sex to children is a direct attack on the family, and offers the cloak of benign education to pedophilia.
