[The video in question is slated to be distributed to 61,000 public and private elementary schools throughout the United States.]...[their inclusion of the reference to "sexual identity" within their "tolerance pledge" is not only unnecessary, but it crosses a moral line.]

Elementary school children will be shown videos and asked/encouraged(?) to make a "sexual identity" "tolerance pledge"?

Is this what is happening?

No. No. No. That's not it at all. The organization that distributors Spongebob and other kids cartoons has a tolerance pledge as part of its organizational direction. Basically something like, "this organization is inclusive of all people regardless of race, creed, or sexual identity." That has NOTHING to do with a) Spongebob, b) any other kids show they produce or c) the kids in elementary schools.

I'm sorry, but this whole topic is one of the stupidest things I've ever heard. The idea that because gay men like SpongeBob, he becomes off limits? What if gay men embraced Coca Cola as their drink of choice? No more Coke products for good Christians, right?

Give me a break. This thread almost makes liberals seem sensible.

Note that I said "almost."

You got it, but don't any of us Christians get all fundamental on them!! HA We try to teach our kids no one should get touchy feely and they shouldn't talk to strangers, and they go to school and get taught stranger are just like Sponge Bob, and they are all family, all inclusive, even if they are NOT your family and very different. Even if they make you feel uncomfortable, you must be "tolerant"

THAT is why we oppose this video. And the pledge too!
