The same people that feel this video is OK for kids, would get “the vapors” if the school showed an NRA sponsored gun safety video.

And watch the re-action to Military recruiters.

CIVIL RIGHTS COMMUNITY? ENFORCED?

We have the Muslims attacking from the front, and liberals attacking (from) the rear.

Congratulations! You have made the winning post!

You all can watch clips from the video in question (”That’s a Family”) and decide for yourselves how far it goes right here:

I myself haven’t watched the clips yet. It’ll have to wait ‘til later when my kids aren’t in the room.

Sometimes words don’t do an article any justice and this is one of those times.

Rarely, but on occasion, I read something, leave to have a smoke, then return to read it again. Maybe deep down I wish I hadn’t read it the first time, and disbelief is always a factor.

Didn’t know there’s a “civil right” to force third graders to watch same sex propoganda. And any attempt to prevent that is illegal. /s

Militant homosexuality agenda.

Would it be possible to teach children to maybe read, do math, spell?

Sorry, there is no instructional time available for such frills.

Hey, why not show "swinger" families, or polygamous families? In the interest of "tolerance", of course.

Score one for south Jersey, though. These parents did the right thing.

Were I a parent in his school and I heard this tool say this, I may have been arrested for assault.

Evesham started showing the video last school year as part of a state-mandated health curriculum.

Does anyone else see the extreme irony here? Promoting sodomy as part of the "health" curriculum?

In my opinion they should all get back in the closet and stay there.

Sanity and common sense are a problem, a problem to be over come by liberals.

Exactly. They keep telling us that what goes on in the bedroom between two consenting adults is nobody else’s business.

Well, I wish they would keep it that way. If it’s nobody else’s business, then WHY do they keep shoving it in our faces and forcing us to accept it? Keep it private or expect to hear about it if you don’t.

Don’t force your lifestyle on us. (Sound familiar?)

The clips show what I expected. 10 sec clips of kids with adults saying "This is my mom and dad" "This is my grandma" "This is my foster mom who adopted me" "This is my brother and sister and my dad and my dad." "My name is ---. I have a birth mother and these are my two dads who adopted me." "This is my guardian" "This is my mom and dad. They divorced but they still love me" "My family is all different colors because we are adopted" or "because my mom is---- and my dad is ----" "My mom is Jewish and my dad is Muslim" and a kind of wierd one with an Asian child saying "That you don't have to be a rat to marry a rat. Sometimes a rat can marry a mouse"

Pornographic? No - Necessary to be shown in school? No. Would I have allowed my 10 year old to watch it? Probably not, but then they were both very advanced readers and had probably already encountered most of these issues in books they would have read (except for the gay/lesbian one, doubt they would have encountered that one)

They will not overcome that. The left has no common sense and the MSM feeds that by covering stories with such a bias the deeper issues are not seen. Take Senator Craig’s issue.. rather then the news take an angle of “wow, public bathrooms can be cesspools of lewd acts” they stop with the fact that Craig is a Republican.
