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."

*snip*

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.

Nope...no agenda here folks.  Move along...nothing to see...   :whatever: :banghead:

Sexualizing five-year olds.  How low will we sink before we pull out of this?  Or are we irrevocably doomed?

I wish I could find this unbelievable as it really should be.

That's stupid. I have nothing against gays personally, but this is ridiculous. I wonder what Fred Phelps has to say about this?

I hope the school destroys those damn cards.  Can you imagine the school dropping those in their student's records and some kid winds up in trouble ten years later because he signed a "pledge" in kindergarten?

Yes.
I can also imagine those files being reviewed and penalties assigned for those who didn't sign.
