KINDERGARTNERS GET GAY 'PLEDGE CARDS'

Nov. 9, 2008 - A pro-family advocate is outraged that a California public school teacher would pass out
homosexual pledge cards to her kindergarten students.
The pledge cards were produced by the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network, or GLSEN, and
featured oaths that students would not use "anti-lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender language or slurs,"
that students would intervene on behalf of homosexual
students when possible, and that they would actively
support safer schools efforts.
Tara Miller is a kindergarten teacher at Faith Ringgold
School of Arts and Science in Hayward, California.
She passed out the pledge cards to her students, which
she then asked them to sign.
Peter LaBarbera, the president of Americans for Truth
about Homosexuality, is outraged at Miller's actions.
"Why is homosexuality as an issue being raised at all in
kindergarten? These are students who don't even know
what sex is yet, and this teacher is talking to them about homosexuality," he contends. "This is an abuse of
these students' minds, and it's just wrong."
According to a report on FoxNews.com, one parent was angry when she found her child's signature on the
pledge card. LaBarbera believes this instance highlights the real agenda of the homosexual movement.
"This is just bizarre, and it shows how the teachers with their radical sexual agenda want to start early to
reprogram these kids' minds. They want to undermine the faith teachings that the kids have at home; this is
part of a plan," he suggests. "To me, this is like Hitler with Nazi Germany and the Soviets wanting to get to
the youth and change the kids by getting to them at a very young age."
In the same report on FoxNews.com, a spokesperson for the school agreed the pledge was inappropriate
for the kindergarten students and said that the pledges were meant for middle school and high school
students.
