A group of San Francisco first-graders took an unusual field trip to City Hall on Friday to toss rose petals on their just-married lesbian teacher - putting the public school children at the center of a fierce election battle over the fate of same-sex marriage.
The 18 Creative Arts Charter School students took a Muni bus and walked a block at noon to toss rose petals and blow bubbles on their just-married teacher Erin Carder and her wife Kerri McCoy, giggling and squealing as they mobbed their teacher with hugs.
Mayor Gavin Newsom, a friend of a friend, officiated.
A parent came up with the idea for the field trip - a surprise for the teacher on her wedding day.
"She's such a dedicated teacher," said the school's interim director Liz Jaroflow.
But there was a question of justifying the field trip academically. Jaroflow decided she could.
"It really is what we call a teachable moment," Jaroflow said, noting the historic significance of same-sex marriage and related civil rights issues. "I think I'm well within the parameters."
Nonetheless, the excursion offers Proposition 8 proponents fresh ammunition for their efforts to outlaw gay marriage in California, offering a real-life incident that echoes their recent television and radio ads.
"It's just utterly unreasonable that a public school field trip would be to a same-sex wedding," said Chip White, press secretary for the Yes on 8 campaign. "This is overt indoctrination of children who are too young to have an understanding of its purpose."
The trip illustrates the message promoted by the campaign in recent days, namely that unless Prop. 8 passes on Nov. 4, children will learn about same-sex marriage in school.

Later that day the kids went to the teachers house for a lesson in CONSUMATION in which the kids were taught their daily biology lesson.
Before the end of Obama's first term, I'll bet.
Yeah, it makes me think sometimes that I'm glad my poor old father didn't live to see sick crap like this.
Involving kids in this demimonde, Bohemian stuff is just twisted. Like taking them to see a donkey show down in Tijuana.
Congratulations, Chip. You defined "public education" elegantly and grammatically! Have a Guinness!
Where’s the Earthquake when you need one.
Isn’t that special?......
I really think they are without limits in their depravity, but worse, they are inflicting it on the rest of us, and most despicably, our children.
really
I was wondering how what the would put on a marriage certificate
This is just plain disgusting, taking kids to a lesbian sham marriage. No way could the parents have wanted this, , aahh sorry this is san fran so who knows what many of the weirdo’s want any more
sick
brainwashing children to their perverted lifestyle.
poor old 6 year old and they even put a no on 8 button on her shirt
these people will use our children now to futher their agenda
I just did what you said and was horrified.
the homoseuxal agenda needs to be stopped ASAP,
just read all of those comments after the article on the link
My word these pro homo people are really mental cases.
They say that if kids went to a normal wedding it would be alright so why is it not alright to have the kids go to a homo wedding during school
I cannot ever remember nor can I know of one field trip where the school teacher took off and went t get married and took her kids with her.
The there are other comments like well it is so good that these 6 years know what is right because they support homosexuals getting married.
OMG
Are these people serious or what?
They are brainwshing kids and they think it is alright to do so.
the teacher should be fired
I thought there was no “bride” or “groom” or “husband” or “wife” anymore — wouldn’t it just be her and “Party B”??
Charter and magnet schools ARE public schools and supported by tax dollars. They usually have a specific focus — Technology, Vocational Arts, Music; or in this case, Creative Morals.
But what was the deal with that one kid who was wearing the shirt with
across the front?
lolol
Y’ looked at her fanny. I know you looked at her fanny.
Need a better picture. The on the left looks like she might have a nice ass.
LOL....
The video is strange. It looks and feels like a propaganda, indoctrination film that is pushing a lifestyle agenda....Produced by the SF Chronicle. And they wonder why I canceled my subscription 10 years ago.

The culture war in California is going to be the second biggest item on the November ballot. It’s a money game now and the left is highly mobilized.
