I have a hard time taking Dobson seriously. He's a Christer with an agenda. He gives no quarter to those who disagree with him, and I don't like his views on child-rearing.
That said, I am looking forward to his chat with Tony Snow and I do believe he does good work. I'll listen in.
Hi, nightshift. I believe you are correct. I get ticked at those on this forum, and they know who they are, who want to prentend that we who do not homeschool don't love our children.
BUMP
"Meet with school and community librarians and local bookstores to discuss ways to highlight literature that is representative of all cultures and sexual orientations."
Any more questions on whether their agenda includes pushing sexual politics in public schools?
Not in my kids' Public Schools. All those who wish to blast on Public School and praise Private Schools don't know what they are talking about. Been there, done that in three different states.
Private Schools hire the lesser of the least. You can take that to the bank.
But...the film has nothing to do with sexual orientation. It doesn't. It just doesn't. I've read like five articles on it, and they all say the same thing. The only connection between the film and gay people is that the organization that's distributing the film has a mission statement to promote diversity and tolerance based on categories like "race, creed, sexual orientation" and so forth. You can disagree with the statement, fine. And you can certainly disagree if the film tried to incorporate anything about sexual orientation. But from all the reports I've read, there is nothing in the film about it.
So I guess what I'm trying to understand is --- and everyone, feel free to enlighten me --- what's the big deal? Why is everyone so upset on this thread about the film and/or SpongeBob?
Programs such as this We Are Family and No Name Calling Week seem innocent on the surface - how can anyone be against 'tolerance' and 'no name calling'? However, make no mistake, these programs are a ruse. Kevin Jennings and his cohorts are masters at framing these issues so that they sound sweet and innocent.
More documentation posted here.
As always, your post is informative. Thanks for the ping.
There are two "We Are Family" organizations. I do not believe this is the one promoting the video.
The people you should be pissed at are the ones pushing sexual politics in grammar schools. We, Christian conservatives, simply want that crap out of the grade schools in all shapes and forms.
What is GLSEN?
Well said, jwalsh. This is exactly the truth and the point.
I have no idea what you are talking about. Like Jefferson, I support public schooling and I am a product of same. What I don't support is sexual politics in public schools pushed by the secular humanists. If you can't distinguish the two positions, there is nothing left to discuss.
Apparently you have either missed or ignored the information included in the teacher's guide, which DOES include a "tolerance pledge.
What is it specifically that leads you to believe that this is true? I've been reading about this issue and it appears that both the cartoon show and the school video are free from anything that could be construed as the "gay agenda." Please inform me.
Best post on this whole topic.
I also read that the tolerance pledge wasn't being sent to the schools with the DVDs.
Thank you. It's just that I've seen this demagoguery before. And I don't like it.
You believe wrong. I got the recommendations list from the same site offering the DVD.
