"Elementary school children will be shown videos and asked/encouraged(?) to make a "sexual identity" "tolerance pledge"?"
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."
Certainly. And the funny thing is that it won't die. People (apparently myself included) seem compelled to discuss a stupid music video with cartoon characters in it.
I think you failed to actually read the article, for it purports the EXACT OPPOSITE of what you just said.
Apparently you have either missed or ignored the information included in the teacher's guide, which DOES include a "tolerance pledge.
