A public school in San Francisco bused 18 first-graders to City Hall yesterday, so the youngsters could scatter rose petals in celebration of their lesbian teacher's wedding.

The students, from Creative Arts Charter School, waited on the steps for their teacher with bags of pink rose petals, bottles of bubbles and, at least for some, with political buttons asking Californians to vote down Proposition 8, a ballot measure that seeks to define marriage in the state as a union between one man and one woman.

"She's a really nice teacher. She's the best," 6-year-old Chava Novogrodsky-Godt told the San Francisco Chronicle, wearing a "No on 8" button on her shirt. "I want her to have a good wedding."

As WND reported, supporters of California's Proposition 8 have claimed that combining legalized same-sex marriage with the state's mandate that schools "teach respect for marriage and committed relationships" would result in kindergartners being taught the virtues of homosexual marriage. Opponents have called such arguments fabrications and scare tactics.

Yesterday's field trip wasn't quite kindergartners, but it was close.

"It shows that not only can it happen, but it has already happened," said Chip White, press secretary for the Yes on 8 campaign.

"It's just utterly unreasonable that a public school field trip would be to a same-sex wedding," White told the Chronicle. "This is overt indoctrination of children who are too young to have an understanding of its purpose."

Indoctrination and recruitment are their only means of propagating their species.

I wish they would take my son to something similar. I would have had him spread dog shit at their feet instead.

Schools are going way over the line these days.Teach the three r's and leave teaching morals to the parents. The schools have no right..literally.

OH THE HORROR! Every little boy who witnessed it is in DANGER of becoming a lesbian.

So,since you seem to be o.k. with the school doing whatever they want withour kids,,I'm curious. Would you be o.k. if the teacher were a conservative and bussed the kids to a pro life rally?

[jimnyc]

Maybe in danger of asking their friends and parents why two people of the same sex are getting married. Not really a subject for children that age, nor should it be the responsibility of a school to teach it to children.

No, that is not the danger, needless to say. The problem would be in it being school sanctioned. As far as that goes, when our 5th grade teacher got married this August, she didn't make an announcement, nor did the school. Seems some of the parents wanted to 'support her' and found out where and when. They brought their children to the church. Obviously they weren't 'invited' but came for the ceremony. The bride asked if they would like to come to the reception, she was touched that 4 students showed up, the parents were like, "No. We didn't come for that reason, just wanted you to know our kids like and respect you. They are happy for you."

If that was the case here, I wouldn't have a problem with it. Do you think that a field trip for a wedding, regardless of the type, is school appropriate?

A pro-life rally? What possible connection is there between a wedding and a pro-life rally? You might as well have asked if I'd be okay with a Jewish teacher bussing the class down to the synagogue to have them all circumsized.

I don't see the big deal. Any different than the teacher bringing her spouse to a birthday party or Christmas party where the kids attend?

I would think personal involvement beyond the classroom would be something a teacher would advocate.

Not for curriculum reasons. So for what? Should my students know that I'm dating several people right now? While they do know I have 3 children. Should the know why I chose to divorce?

Seriously, some things are not of pertinence to education.

I want my students to know that:
1. I care about them, both as students and as people.
2. I want them to care about me, it's a matter of mutual respect.
3. I want them to succeed.
4. I do everything I can to help them succeed and grow, as students and as humans.

That's about it. They don't need to know my sex life, my personal life. They need to know I'm there for them. I can't stop abusive parents, I can and do report them.

Because homosexuality is a morality issue for a lot of people,as is abortion. The school has no business taking children to any wedding. It's school,not social time.

The people who COUNT in this case...aka, the kids parents, apparently had no problem with it.

[Noir]

seems fair enough, obviously the kids perents would have t have been asked, if their perants were fine with it hen what's the problem?

Thats because you're probably a cock sucker yourself----
