| While the teacher was at it, maybe she should also have made the kids sign pledge cards that they would vote in favor of gay marriage once they get old enough to vote.

| Ok, teach kids to not to beat up people who are different than them. Nothing like what this teacher did, which was attempt to brainwash innocent children into living homophilic lives. Last edited on Mon Nov 3rd, 2008 05:01 am by CrimeFighter

I think I specifically said the teacher should have done this a completely different way and just taught being tolerant of all people regardless of who they are. Not sure how that's a lesson inappropriate for a 5 year old.

Uh, what you said doesn't accurately reflect the discussion at hand. The teacher was not teaching tolerance of gays, and her sin was not that she didn't include other racial groups on her pledge card. She made 5 year olds sign cards that they are allies to gays. If that doesn't strike you as crazy then something is wrong.
Besides the fact that it is wildly inappropriate to be talking about sexual practices with kids who are barely potty trained, why should a teacher make a kid sign a pledge to be an ally to any ethic group or sexual practice group under the guise of "safer schools"?

Why don't you re-read what I actually said CF before you start drawing up your own conclusions.....Let me know when you're done and you've actually comprehended it.

Excellent, I was hoping someone would actually try to defend this nut. So if your wildest dreams come true and gays are free to marry throughout the world, at what age will you start making kids sign pledges to punch anyone with a non-homophilic opinion in the face?

There's a different way to go about this but I don't see how teaching children to respect others regardless of race, sex or sexual orientation is wrong. Granted in this example the teacher is clearly only teaching tolerance of gays. The lesson plan should have been far more inclusive of all groups. But to those of you who are so fake outraged by this would you rather they tell kids "Now Billy you should respect whites, blacks, women, and men but go ahead and hate those Mexicans and fags"?

This teacher should have her employment terminated immediately. There can be a place and time for everything, however this was purely the move of someone who should not be allowed to teach 5 year old children.

This is just plain nuts. Kids that age have no business being indoctrinated into the Homo agenda.
The so called "all inclusive" liberal who pretends to be concerned about everyones rights, is laughing at America and pushing the most disgusting kind of dysfunctional anamilistic behavior as normal. Lets here it progressive liberals. By your actions of pushing Homo behavior upon innocent children, then the parents who don't agree should be able to send their kids to school in "I'm not a Homo" T-shirts. Or have them excused from the Homo indoctrination classes.
Now that is "all inclusive........right?
Or is "all inclusive" only reserved for the sexual perverts and the deviants of mankind?

| Make sure you take a good look at the card. "I am an ally"? WTF? These kids are 5 years old and gays are enlisting them as allies in the homosexual movement? Last edited on Sun Nov 2nd, 2008 04:16 am by CrimeFighter

| What's next? Busing kindergartners over to the local courthouse so they can witness gay marriage vows firsthand? Unless we nip this gay marriage movement in the bud, we are opening the floodgates. Vote yes on 102!

School Clams Up on 'Gay' Pledge Cards Given to Kindergartners

A California school system refuses to say what action, if any, it will take after it received complaints about a kindergarten teacher who encouraged her students to sign "pledge cards" in support of gays.
During a celebration of National Ally Week, Tara Miller, a teacher at the Faith Ringgold School of Arts and Science in Hayward, Calif., passed out cards produced by the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network to her class of kindergartners.
The cards asked signers to be "an ally" and to pledge to "not use anti-LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) language or slurs; intervene, when I feel I can, in situations where others are using anti-LGBT language or harassing other students and actively support safer schools efforts."
The school has acknowledged that the exercise was not appropriate for kindergartners.
Parent Adela Voelker, who declined to be interviewed in depth for this report, said she was furious when she found her child's signature on one of the cards. She said she contacted a non-profit legal defense organization specializing in parents' rights.
Meanwhile, a school board member, Jeff Cook, says some type of action should be taken.
/**/
"We have a general rule that all instruction should be age appropriate, and this clearly was not," said Cook, who has served on the school board for five years.
Val Joyner, a school district spokeswoman, told FOXNews.com in an e-mail that when deciding what to teach on this subject matter, educators "gather materials from community agencies and other education groups" and that "the materials have grade level indicators which help determine what is age-appropriate."
The district said the pledge cards were intended for middle school and high school students.
Asked last week if the district planned to take action against Miller, Joyner said she would have to look into the incident. On Thursday she told FOXNews.com that she did not have an answer for the question and that she would no longer be doing any media interviews.
Joyner said in an e-mail that Miller, the teacher, "planned to teach students how to become an ally and conflict-mediation through various activities." She added that the district doesn't advocate for a specific cause and/or lifestyle, and it has "no curriculum for gay, lesbian and transgender lifestyles."
The district employs a "Professional Learning Specialist: Equity," who is in charge of gathering material and helping teachers decide what should be taught on the subject matter.
Brad Dacus, president of Pacific Justice Institute, the group representing Voelker, said parents at the Faith Ringgold School weren't notified of what was going to take place in the classroom.
He said that teaching students as young as pre-school about gay, lesbian and transgender issues is common in California, but that there are "all kinds of material the average parent could find highly objectionable or potentially harmful" to their children.
When asked if the school district did anything wrong, he said, "possibly," but he declined to go into detail or say whether Voelker would sue the district.
Dacus would not comment specifically on whether children who signed the pledge could be held responsible if the school determined that they were not honoring it. He said they are minors and there are certain degrees of limited liability, but from a psychological and emotional perspective, it's a whole different ballgame.
"[There is] tremendous peer pressure put on children to accept a pro-homosexual philosophy and attitude," Dacus said.
Meanwhile, opponents of gay marriage are up in arms over the incident, which occurred as California voters prepare to vote Tuesday on Proposition 8, which would overturn the state Supreme Court's ruling legalizing gay marriage.
"How do you teach a 5-year-old to sign a pledge card for lesbian, gay and transgender issues without explaining what transgender and bisexual is?" asked Sonja Eddings Brown, a spokeswoman for Protect Marriage California.
