Emma has two moms and at 11 years old appears to believe she is gay.

Splendid. I'm glad this show didn't make it, but I hope it doesn't stop future 11 year old children from considering a starring role in shows promoting pedophilia or public nudity.

Why are homos allowed to adopt in the first place?

They have taken themselves out of the natural order that produces children (homosexuals have produced exactly ZERO offspring in all of Earth's history) so why would they be allowed to procure children through legal(?) means?

Wow. First we have some naive little girl who drops this doozie: We are just the same except we have two moms. (Emphasis added.)

Emma, honey, if you were the same, you would not have had to use the word "except."

But then the dippy reporter from the New York Slimes has the audacity to compare homosexuality to religious faith.

Hello! McFly!!!!! Apples to oranges!

Yeesh!

Off the subject of this particular TV show, what do all you anti-gay people want little children to do or say when they have kids with gay parents in their classes, neighborhoods, among their friends?

If you are Christian, do you think Jesus would have avoided, insulted, or denigrated these kids or their parents?

My 2nd grader has kids like this in his class and in his circle of friends. It's one thing to say you wish there were no gay people or "Heather has Two Mommies." But what if your child and Heather are good friends? I treat people the way I wish to be treated.

Department of Education - which provided $5 million in financial support for the show,

what began as a participatory social studies lesson has become a harsh lesson in exclusionary politics

I love how the left makes up "names" in an effort to reframe the issue. This has NOTHING to do with "exclusionary politics," whatever the hell that means. This is about the FACT that the majority of Americans do not embrace homosex. This is plain old-fashioned social pressure - it is the age-old way that social groups (families, countries, cultures) behaved to maintain norms. People are accepted into their "social group" when they fit within the norms, they are accepted.

Americans view homosex as abnormal and therefore are unwilling to accept people who practice homosex into the "group." Plain and simple.

"There are no positive role model images of families like ours anywhere in mainstream media," Ms. Pieper said.

A master at stating the obvious

Experts say there is no scientific evidence that children raised by gay couples fare any worse than those raised in more traditional households.

I always love the phrase experts say. When it does not cite a particular study to back it up you know it's a lie.

I feel awful for the little girl and her brothers. Mommy and Mommy made their choices, but it must be heartbreaking for her to not understand why this is happening. She's probably been told it's because all the evil, ill-informed rednecks hate her mommies and want them to be unhappy.

Thanx for the link Ellesu, although I didn't survive the whole thing.

The only thing worse than pimping PBS to advance the agendas of degenerates is to pimp little kids to advance the agendas of degenerates...

"The episode, titled "Sugartime!," is one of 40 live-action episodes in which Buster, a cartoon character from the "Arthur" books and television series, visits real children around the country to show how they live. The series's mandate from the Department of Education - which provided $5 million in financial support for the show, 63 percent of its budget - is to highlight diversity."

Money well spent? Maybe Joe Scarborough of Scarborough Country and Rome Wasn't Burnt in a Day has something to say about that!

$5 million dollars is a lot of money that could fund safer school buses, training for teachers - strike that, performance pay for teachers, and more!!!

Or of course, that $5 million might be best served in OUR pockets. Or CBS's to do their own liberal program - and we don't have to fund or watch that stuff.

I hope I'm beginning to make sense.

Ah, the great New York Times. As someone else noted, the phrase "Experts say..." would not get by the editor of a decent high school newspaper. Then the enchange at the end, where the writer presents an agenda-driven question without even the ruse of "when this reporter asked the child...", is so far beyond journalistic propriety that it can hardly be believed.

The "experts" are pro-homosexual activist researchers who twist the data to support this conclusion.

What if people said they wouldn't want to watch the episode about her because they don't like Muslims?

Without hesitation Farah replied: "Wow, I hadn't thought about it like that.

NYT indoctrinates 12 year old Farah using moral relative argument...

What if people said they wouldn't want to watch the episode about her because they don't like treating homosexual activity as anything other than a chosen morally depraved sexual activity...

I love the way liberals seek the advice of those of us who aren't even old enough to have pubic hair.

I guess it's a matter of searching for reaffirmation in the comfort of their intellectual peers.
