177. The pledge card thing is stupid but the educational attempt is good
and I'm sure no right-wingers would be unhappy if the kids were asked to sign a pledge card devoting their lives to Jesus, so I don't think it's the card that they're worried about.

Kids should be taught about discrimination and various kinds of differences, and that those differences are OK, so that they don't grow up to be bigots. But of course a lot of people WANT their kids to grow up to be bigots. This must be part of that "homosexual agenda" we've all heard about - "have fewer bigots in the world."
