Diversity Committee Rejects Tolerance Video

(Broward County, Florida) The local school district has decided to protect young children from getting mixed messages.

From The Miami Herald:

A music video that features Barney, Big Bird and SpongeBob singing a message of family and togetherness will not be distributed in Broward County schools, after members of a diversity committee deemed it objectionable.

Some members of the diversity committee said the We Are Family DVD, intended to teach tolerance to preschool and elementary kids, could confuse children about the difference between family members and strangers and open the door to discussion about sexual orientation.

"Even in the liberal group, they understand that these people are trying to mess with our kids' minds and introduce all kinds of activities in the name of tolerance," said Steve Kane, a radio talk show host and a member of the diversity committee, which voted 10-7 against the video in May.

Well, bully for Broward! In my opinion, society is shoving way too much stuff down the throats of kids. I would imagine that in some places kids are being indoctrinated in homosexuality before they can tie their shoes.
