Cartoons are entertainment shouldn't be considered a teaching vehicle.

So you share our disapproval of public schools using a program of videos featuring these popular children's cartoons as advocacy propaganda for the homosexual lifestyle?

Schools should educate and not provide entertainment. I will clarify that SOME educational videos can be produced in an animation form, but that is not Sponge Bob. Sponge Bob, Teletubbies, etc are entertainment, not educational videos.

So to answer your question - yes I do share your disapproval of using any entertainment program as a teaching tool in public schools.

The only appropriate use of an entertainment program in a educational environment would be in a film class or maybe a history or cultural class.
