Even those who might use their own children as political pawns?
Word parsing, Political Pawns is your term. In this case it was an occupational hazard for standing up for principles as they were thrown at him. He didn't try to force homosexual behavior and such "teachings" (that have no business in schools) down little kids throats. The school did. He is teaching his kids an important lesson (unlike pushing gay sex discussion) of standing up for what is right. Teaching his kids that moralphobes are not to be backed down from, teaching his kids right from wrong (so that they will grow up to not stray from those ideas).
BTW... Newbie (as you like to call others)... "Hypocrites," Jesus said, "why, even of yourselves, do you not judge what is right?" (Luke 12:56-57). I don't plan on being a Hypocrite.
Funny later on you said " Nonetheless, I won't make any such judgments about you." Yet all you do is break (lie) your own self imposed limiter.
Example: "And I seriously doubt you know the meaning of conservative."
Example 2 : "What the matter, gutless punk."
I on the other hand have no problem judging you... You are a hypocrite and a unmoral conservative at best, and your posts prove it.
